Summary
When the car breaks down in the dead of a Russian winter, you and Bucky are forced to trek through the snow to a nearby safe house. But Bucky’s soaked clothes and dropping temperature trigger memories far more painful than the cold. You do everything you can to remind him he’s safe—that he’s loved—and that he’ll never go under again.

Summary
They arrived at the main mining site, a sprawling facility of tunnels and conveyor belts. Dozens of workers moved about, their clothes stained with dust and sweat. Nearby stood guard-like figures armed with what appeared to be stun batons. Kirk’s face grew taut, though he kept his voice measured. “We’d like a closer look, if you don’t mind.” Elira nodded and led them into one of the tunnels. The air felt suffocating, thick with a metallic odor and stale perspiration. Flickering lights ran along the ceiling, illuminating gaunt faces turning toward the newcomers. McCoy’s heart clenched at the sight of such exhaustion. Some looked half-starved, their cheeks hollow, eyes haunted.

Summary
When Tim vanishes during a solo mission, Damian insists he's fine. He has to be. Because the alternative—Tim being hurt, or worse—is something Damian refuses to believe.
But when thirty-six hours pass with no word, no signal, and no trace, Damian breaks every Bat-protocol in the book and storms off to find him. Alone.
What begins as a search-and-rescue turns into something deeper: a confrontation with fear, grief, and the bond between two brothers who have spent more time fighting than trusting.
Because sometimes, the strongest connections are the ones we refuse to name.
And sometimes, saving someone isn’t the hard part.
Admitting why you did it is. -

Summary

Until the very last second.

Summary
An abandoned carnival. A mirror maze that feeds on fear. An ability user who turns trauma into weapons.
Akutagawa never feared monsters—only reflections.
When a mission forces him and Atsushi into the heart of a hall of mirrors haunted by their worst memories, it’s not the enemy they must survive—but themselves. As Akutagawa’s ability turns inward and Atsushi’s past claws its way to the surface, their only chance at escaping lies in each other’s hands.
But the maze doesn’t just want their fear.
It wants their bond.
And it knows exactly how to break it.

Summary
Enola Holmes returns to London just in time for Christmas — charming, calculating, and very nearly behaving herself. When she and Michael accidentally (read: strategically) run into John and his new girlfriend at a café, the result is something dangerously close to... normal.
Warm drinks. Shared jokes. A Christmas party invitation no one expected.
Set during A Scandal in Belgravia, this fic explores the rare calm between storms — when murderers are on holiday, secrets are quiet, and even the Holmes siblings are pretending to be human.
There’s tea, deduction, cinnamon-scented menace, and absolutely no one gets stabbed. Probably.

Summary
When the war is over and the galaxy finally quiets, Din Djarin and Luke Skywalker find peace in the rain, in soft domesticity, and in each other’s arms.
What begins with longing glances and playful ass worship spirals into steamy shower encounters, saber-fueled shenanigans, and tender fireside cuddles—interrupted only by one extremely judgmental green child.
There’s no mission now. No war. Just cheeks, devotion, and a Mandalorian who cannot keep his hands—or mouth—off his Jedi. -

And Bond — watching — felt something settle low in his chest. Not surprise. Just the quiet pull of it.
Attraction wasn’t new. Not exactly. But it caught him sharper here — in focus, in silence.
It was the way Q moved — no waste, no noise. Just intention, shaped into action.Series

A few bites in, he glanced at the lime.
“You remembered I like it on the side.”Bond didn’t look over. “You complain when it’s not.”

Summary
Ghost takes Soap off the grid after a mission goes sideways and deep into the Russian winter, where the cold bites harder than any enemy ever could.
He teaches him how to survive. How to hunt, ration, hide. But Soap gets sick and the cold doesn't forgive weakness.
As isolation drags on and supplies vanish in the snow, Ghost is forced to make a call: Reach out and risk losing his entire world forever as it's taken from him, or don't reach out and risk Soap dying right there in his arms.
With the winter cold biting at their heels, Ghost doesn't have much time left, the clock is ticking, his mind is breaking, and it all rests in his trembling, frostbitten, hands. -

Summary
After a mission gone wrong, Jason loses his voice. The injury isn't permanent, but the doctors aren’t sure how long it’ll last. A few days, maybe weeks. Long enough to frustrate the hell out of him. Long enough for the team to fumble every attempt to communicate.
Except for Tim.
Tim reads Jason like a page of his favourite novel.
And maybe Jason’s starting to realise it’s because Tim has always been listening.

Summary

He doesn’t expect the Batfamily to believe it instantly. He really doesn’t expect Tim to crumble under the weight of a lie he desperately wishes were true.

Summary
After a clean mission, Bond sits alone in a neutral room with nothing to debrief, no mask to wear, and no one to perform for.
In the quiet, he thinks of Q — and the ease of truth when it’s not a weapon.---
It was the kind of thing he might’ve distrusted in someone else.
And yet, with Q, it had never snapped back.
No consequences. No warnings. No tightening of the leash. Just that quiet, constant presence — and the space to be.
