Summary
Astarion was focused on Halsin's hand still on her shoulder. It twisted something in his stomach that he didn't acknowledge. Her story was one of hardships and war, and yet she was the kindest soul he'd ever met. It made him… angry. And he didn't know why.
The rest of the night passed with lighter conversations, until a watch was established. And Ursa didn't ask to talk after the others had gone to sleep. She didn't come into his tent and ask to sleep together, to touch him, to pry. She made sure the fire was tended, wished him goodnight with a smile, and went to start her watch and that was it.
Maybe he'd lost the privilege to know her heart.
He told himself that he would be fine with that. Obviously, he would be. He didn't care about any of these people outside of the protection they offered him. And he was fine with that: better yet, that's what he wanted from these assorted freaks. That was his goal from the start.
He stared, seething and scowling at the roof of his tent.
Why was he so mad about this?

Summary
Irascible - adjective. Having or showing a tendency to be easily angered.
I slipped.
It was an honest mistake: overestimating how wide the bench was and the tread of my boots, my right foot landed on the curved edge and plummeted. I yelped and flailed and tried in vain to catch myself. I squeezed my eyes shut and braced for the impact.
Instead of hard gravel, I hit leather wrapped muscle.
I kept my eyes closed, scrambling to grab fistfuls of his jacket, kicking my legs under me as they slid from the bench. I couldn't see how he'd gotten over the bench so fast - maybe he'd been standing and I hadn't heard it over my own dumbassness - but the sweet, rich scent of him filled my nose, the warmth of his body pressing into my back, the soft grunt of exertion as he helped me stand back up.
"Thanks," I smiled. God, I wanted to see him. He cleared his throat, and even though I was on my own feet again, he still had me in his arms. I felt his fingers pressing into my shoulders. My own hands settled into the crook of his elbows, then, slowly, drifted upward over his biceps. Damn, he felt strong.

Summary
"Bronx?" he scoffed, a question, still kneeling. “Sweetheart, you fuckin’ insult me. Mistakin’ me for that little shithead.”
Gun still firmly at the center of his spine, he sighed and huffed and pushed himself up. He was broader than you originally thought: much, much broader, easily dwarfing you as he rose to his full height. He was at least a head taller, twice as wide, his heavy-set bones covered by a black, fur-lined hoodie over a dark crimson tank-top. The dismal light showed the various scratches along his marrow. He smiled: one sharp canine was glittering gold, the same color as the thin chain that scraped against his exposed collar bones.
You didn’t back down. For a second, neither of you moved: your gun trained at where you guessed his soul would be, his eyelights assessing you.

Summary
“Your turn,” she sighed, breathing still irregular. He swallowed back his surprise. No one had offered that before. “If that’s okay. You don’t have to.”
“N-no, it’s… I’m flattered, darling, but don’t feel like you must,” he smiled reassuringly up at her. He hoped it was reassuring; not scared, not faltering, just easy confidence, always.
“I want to,” she replied. He swallowed again. She picked up on his hesitancy, propping up on her elbows. She brushed his hair from his eyes. “But I only want to if you want me to, Astarion.”
“Ah. That’s…” he sighed and pushed to his knees. What was wrong with him? His head was clouding with smoke; dark, swirling shapes in the fog that he didn’t want to remember, not now, not with her. Red eyes, glinting fangs, thou shalt know that thou art mine, mind and body, you are in no place to refuse me, wretched thing. “If you’re sure, love.”

Summary
What were the stages of grief again?
Denial, Jax remembers. He knows that one. It’s the first on the list, the one that clues people in that it’s developing grief in the first place. Not that he’s grieving. That was silly. And a straight up delusional take on his situation. He doesn’t grieve.
Cartoonish purple rabbits don’t grieve.
The dead can’t speak, the guilty don’t deserve to. Pomni has Thoughts™ and makes it Jax’s whole problem.
(Or: the one where she gives one last push.)

After the Battle of New York, Thor returns to Asgard with his brother Loki in chains. Fearing the repercussions of increased tensions between Midgard and Asgard, Thor quickly seeks to create diplomatic relations with the mortal realm- placing Loki in charge as penance for his crimes.
When your parents' expertise sees them summoned to the Palace to help with the project, they come with you in tow. You are convinced it will be a week of long meetings and hard work; perhaps interspersed with some time to enjoy the luxuries the Palace can provide- but your hopes are dashed the very moment you step foot on the grounds and catch the younger Prince’s eye.
When his persistence becomes more than annoyance, and he offers you an out through an unexpected game; your own curiosity reveals him to be more than he appears, and the two of you develop a relationship neither one had planned for.
As this bond sets in motion a break in the timeline- and a frightening series of events- you are caught up in something that is impossible for either of you to contain.And it could cost you both your lives.
