    Summary

    It never occurred to him that you could be branded with something that isn’t pain. With the negation of pain.

    It blurs his vision, how much he wants that brand to stay.
     
    Written for the prompt “John allows himself to get hurt on purpose so Harold will patch him up”.

    Summary

    Penny never saw Skip Wescott after the summer she turned ten. She left him behind — closed the door on that particular monster.

    Spider girl met him six years later.

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    “Tony once said that you’d kill for me.”

    Natasha gave her a look she couldn’t quite interpret. Then she shrugged. “I’ve killed for far worse reasons.”

    Penny thought about death — how it lingered on your body like sex. And she knew that if Skip were to die, she wouldn’t be the only one carrying his death.

    She thought about guilt. Thought about those other girls hearing he was dead. Their shoulders would slump in relief, and then their shoulders would curl forward with the guilt of it.

    She thought about her own shoulders at that age — how they had shrunk in on themselves.

    Summary

    – and Azula’s crackling bolt of lightning steadied, became still and straight, and was a beam of blue light thrusting from the horizon to the sky. The cold voltaic shock through his nerves was the sting of cold air damp with spray from the sea, the pressure of electrical charge the weight of armour on his shoulders, the harsh blue-white glow of lightning the grey-white-blue of sea and ice and sky.

    …His scalp was cold.

    Zuko doesn't know why he's suddenly back here again, here on his ship amongst the icebergs, with the Avatar's light stabbing into the sky. He's not even sure this is real. But if it is, he's going to do things better this time.

    Of course, things go off the rails almost immediately.

    Summary

    The warehouse stinks of rot and rain, a metallic, earthy scent that settles heavy in his lungs.

    For a moment he pauses there, letting his eyes adjust to the dim darkness and straining for any sound. If Fisk’s intel could be trusted, the target was here and had been for days, laying low.

    A heavy hitter, Vanessa had said, lip curling in displeasure. Pledging loyalty to an unknown party. The directive was simple: Get rid of them before they became a problem. She’d recommended exercising caution and urgency, and from the stiff way she’d held herself, he would guess it to be a personal matter.
