Summary
“This is so fucked,” Robby says, the laughter in his voice a cruel echo of the way he used to say that to Frank, the we’re-in-this-together exasperation of the ER’s worst days, and he drags his hand down his face to stop himself from flinching when he recognizes it. “Does your wife—”
“Don’t,” Frank says, voice sharper than Robby’s heard it all night. Sharper than he’s heard it in ten months, the sharpest it’s been since Frank had to dull the blade of it and turn it inwards to save his own hide. It’s a bark more than a spoken word, but Frank’s not a dog.
Dogs don’t talk, Robby thinks. Dogs don’t talk, and dogs don’t have wives.
It’s more fucked, Robby knows, that it’s the word wife rotating around in his skull and not her name. He knows her. He likes her, for god’s sake. He’s had holiday dinners at her table and shared fond eye-rolls across the appropriately-themed tablecloth at ridiculous things Frank’s said, that same we’re-in-this-together exasperation, and now — now Robby can’t even give her the dignity of thinking her name with his fingers in her husband’s mouth.
or: frank isn't very good at asking for forgiveness. robby isn't very good at granting it.

Summary
When she'd gone to Robby, she wonders whether he'd been able to smell the desperation buried beneath her hesitance, the overwhelming stench of decaying need giving itself away. Believe me, believe me, believe me. It's all she'd ever wanted. Maybe no one had to die this time.
Or: Trinity Santos rediscovers the meaning of team.

Summary
“You’re a riot, Crash,” Trinity says, casting an unimpressed glance towards the pile of deconstructed IKEA parts on the floor. “Did you seriously just give up on this shit after five minutes and send a cry for help to the first lesbian you could think of?”
“Um, no,” Victoria lies. “Of course not.”

Summary
Victoria slams to a halt in the middle of the floor, feeling like she’s been sucker-punched in the stomach by a brick wall with hands. She can only stare, because holy shit. Because that is Cassie McKay, and she’s here at Blue Moon, at the lesbian bar, the bar where lesbians go, holding a can of Diet Coke and leaning casually against the wall as she smiles down at a pretty, dark-haired girl who looks twenty-four at most.
Holy. Fucking. Shit.

Summary
“Why are you looking at skateboards?” asks Luke.“Maybe Kronos wants us to get a skateboard.”
Luke presses a hand on the top of Percy’s head and physically turns him away from the window display.
“Does Kronos want us to get a skateboard,” he says.
“…No.”
Luke wants to know what the hell Percy thinks he’s doing. Percy wants Luke to trip and fall over the side of the yacht. They are, as always, at an impasse.Series

Summary
Sukuna grins, his mouth stretched unnaturally wide across his face. “You really thought the King of Curses could be bound by human flesh?” He tips his head upwards, cackling, then throws Megumi aside. Megumi stumbles, falling backwards into the water. He hates that Sukuna is wearing his face, hates how it’s just wrong enough to make his skin crawl.
“I was biding my time,” he explains. “Anyone paying attention could tell the day you snapped was fast approaching, and you made it so easy for me to watch you.” He appears standing over Megumi, cruel glee shining in his expression. “If you’d been able to stay away from that brat, maybe your imminent destruction wouldn’t have been so glaringly obvious. But no. You fell in love with him.”
Megumi swallows thickly.
“Love is a curse, right?” Sukuna leans down, eyes boring into what is left of Megumi’s soul. “And yet, you could never avoid it.”
megumi's soul shatters, and the pieces are full of love.

Summary
“If you could see one person one more time before the big bad Ruskies obliterate us,” Robin giggles, “who would it be?”
Steve has been feeling so wonderfully unabashedly honest for these last few minutes or months or however long they’ve been here, tied together in their Scoops uniforms and possibly dying from beating-induced brain hemorrhages or Russian poison that he says, without hesitating, “Jonathan Byers. And I’d give him a big ole kiss.”

“Hey, I know you!”
Jonathan knew him, too; it was a worse person to be trapped with all summer than anyone he could have imagined.
He was probably late in equal parts due to the bagel and his ridiculous hair, meticulously styled as always; the collar of a polo shirt was peeking out from his VBS t-shirt; and he was grinning at Jonathan like a complete fucking maniac, like they were best pals.
“Don’t we go to school together?”

Summary
“Do you think it’s weird that you two never, like…I don’t know. Became friends?” Robin asks.
Steve blinks. “Me and Jonathan?”
“Yeah,” Robin says. “I mean, didn’t you guys beat up a Demogorgon with Nance that one time? It feels like that kind of experience would forge a bond, you know? Like, it would transcend all the love triangle drama, or something.”
Or: when Nancy breaks things off with Steve and Jonathan and goes to college, Steve accidentally becomes friends with Jonathan.
Just friends, though. Obviously. Anything other than that would be weird.

It sounds like the start of an impressively bad joke, if you ask Megumi:
An asexual and a (possible) aromatic walk into a college dorm. Confusion ensues.

Summary
The last flare of sunlight outside has faded into a spark at the horizon’s edge. Dusk, and the birds have come to roost—Yuuji can hear the clicking and fluttering, the gentle rhythm of their bodies as they settle under the awning outside his window. He stares out the dark glass as he attempts to calm himself, looking for a hint of foot or beak and finding nothing but the city.
It’s been one week since he fled Jujutsu Tech. Not a single person has come to drag him back.
Stripped of his cursed energy and wracked with guilt, Yuuji leaves Jujutsu Tech in the dead of night.

“And—well, I can’t tell you what to do. But I hope you’ll come back.” He smiles, just a little one. “Call it a personal wish.”

Summary
"Thousand yen says you can't make that jump," Megumi says, peering up at the fourth floor window.
Yuuji splutters. "Hey, I could totally make that! I could make the roof if I wanted!"
"You're old," Megumi says. "You have knee pain."
"You're old," Yuuji mutters darkly, but when Megumi wordlessly holds out his hand, Yuuji takes it without even having to look.
(Or: for their last mission before retirement, Yuuji and Megumi return to a Sendai high school.)

Summary
Now that he's looking for it, Yuuji can feel it: the words are etched into him, woven into his muscles and carved into his bones. Start by saving me, Itadori. Yuuji promised he would, so now he must.
The burning pain is starting to come back again. It begins in his chest this time, slightly to the right. Yuuji swallows, reaching up to press his hand against it.
So, he thinks dazedly, as the universe begins to take him apart. This is what happens when you break a Binding Vow.
-
Megumi dies in Shinjuku. Yuuji is thrown back in time to save him. Again, and again, and again.
(Or: Yuuji says “I’ll save you, Fushiguro” and the universe says “bet.”)

Summary
His dreams are crafted from oil pastel, fingers aching from how hard he had to press. There is an impressionist pond caked in shades of yellow, blue and green with dark shadows of fish swirling beneath the surface. Ryuji is there. Ryuji is right next to him, crates bonking their latticework together as they're fused into a single bench.
Around Ryuji's wrist is a silver bangle. Engraved on the inside, a name wrapping around to kiss the soft face of his skin.
Or, instead of skeletons, Ren has a box of chocolates in his closet.

Summary
“You’re a human being, too, Vic.” Joey ends that sentence with the sign name he came up with for him: the letter v followed by two fingers wrapping their way around his forehead, a representation of the metal band that keeps Vic’s cybernetics bound to the half of his face that made it through the accident.
Based on a scene from The New Teen Titans Vol. 2 where Vic visits Joey in the hospital following the events of Terror of Trigon.
