    Summary

    “I love your scars. I love that they’re on you because it means you survived.” Eddie says, and Buck grips onto Eddie’s hand impossibly tighter. “Because I love you, and that means every single part of you. Buck, anything that’s a part of you is something I love more than anyone else could possibly understand.”

    Buck breathes in.

    When he exhales his body feels lighter than it has in a long, long time. He can’t misunderstand this. He can’t let Eddie pull away here. He can’t let go of this burgeoning hope—

    “Again.” Buck demands.

    Summary

    Kuroo drys his hair carefully. The towel he uses isn’t one that Kenma usually bothers to pull out: it’s too soft, too careful, and Kenma has always preferred just getting his hair over and done with when he does bother with it. Neither of them speak. It’s a comfortable silence.

    Or: washing your best friend as a love language.

    Summary

    Leif steps towards Verge. And like a black hole, an inevitability, they fall into each other. They stand so pressed against each other that it’s almost impossible to tell where one begins and the other ends.

    “I hate you.”

    Leif smiles. It’s a sad, broken thing - it’s a version of Leif made into a caricature of lips and teeth and blood. It’s a portrait of Leif and all his broken parts, gifted with shaking hands to the one person who understands the brushstrokes.

    Summary

    Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December,

    And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor.

    The last thing Gojo Satoru sees before the walls close around him and he becomes surrounded in skeletons is the face of a man who he never thought he’d see again, decorated with a scar he shouldn’t have. When he gets out, he will be ready to fight this imposter.

    He gets out.

    But the face in front of him no longer has a scar, and something is very wrong.

    Summary

    Sometimes, Ianto gets the chance to watch Jack sleep. It is special. It is something he holds in the forefront of his memories, something that nothing could ever compare to. It is beautiful, and heartbreaking, and Ianto wishes every morning could be the same.

    He hopes his last morning is just like this one.

    Summary

    Before, the elves had called him Dandelion, for the flowers that he had grown alongside. Before, the forest had whispered blathanwedd with the softness that only a loving parent could hold. Before, he was not afraid of sharing with the world who he was – what he was. Before, he was interwoven with the wild in the same way Chaos was.

    Of course, however, this was Before.

    Before his forest burnt and his mother stopped calling his name.

    Summary

    “Above us, stars.
    Beneath us, constellations.”

    They weren’t related, at least not by blood. But the wings on their backs were a sign of kinship, and they weren’t going to let each other be alone.

    It was difficult to trust. They knew the world wasn’t kind. And yet, they held each other close and hoped to never be separated.

    Summary

    His skin is littered with stories of his life; built inch by inch by scars and bruises and bullet holes. He keeps a careful cover of them, ashamed of his own wounds, but Wolfwood looks at them with nothing but light in his eyes.

    One morning, bathed in the light of dawn, Vash asks if he wants to see them properly.

    Summary

    Rem called it beautiful. She looked down at her arm, decorated in careful scribbles of a name Vash didn’t recognise, and she called it “special”. He couldn’t understand it, not really. What reason could a name be so important that you look at it with such emotion? She had laughed, kind and never cruel, and promised him that one day he would understand.

    Over a century later, he does.

    That is the one and only thing I have thought resembled a truth in the society of human beings where I have dwelled up to now as in a burning hell.

    Summary

    Sasuke’s eyes are only awe, only love.

    You don’t know a time when you wouldn’t destroy the world to keep those eyes on you forever.

    (But the world destroys you first – you are given an impossible choice at the bitter age of thirteen, and you wish you had never learnt to pick up a kunai.)

    Summary

    Technoblade enjoyed his carrots. After only a few weeks by the lakefront, everyone who lived there knew this as a fact.

    (Here is the problem: Techno didn’t cope well with having his carrots taken, and those on the lakefront don’t know him well enough yet.)

    Summary

    Wilbur Soot was born for joy and forged in cruelty and he knew better than most what people say about men like him. His lungs are full of long-gone smoke and scathing words, but he has had all too-long to learn to breathe through their rancid taste.

    His wings were not built for flight — not anymore.

    Or; Wilbur Soot learns that healing isn’t linear, and the first step is always to admit there is a problem.

    Summary

    Wilbur’s fingers are war-torn and well-worn. For a moment, Tommy watches them shake. And then, carefully, Tommy watches as Wilbur relaxes. He watches as Wilbur’s hands settle against the strings of his guitar, practiced in a way that leaves Tommy almost aching, and then—

    Wilbur plays.

    And the sound is, as it always has been and it always will be, beautiful.

    Or: Tommy isn’t made for quiet, but sometimes quiet is exactly what he needs.

    Summary

    Summary

    The bells call for war, but Wilbur didn’t know that.

    He was too young – too wild, born of the wilderness and raised under the care of those that were anything but human.

    The bells call for war, and every instinct in Wilbur calls for him to run. He just didn’t expect to want to run towards it.
