    Summary

    She burned Viktor’s name. No one else would. He was cursed now. A bad omen. A villain to scare children. If you don’t go play outside every now and then, you’ll end up like the Machine Herald. Don’t go too deep into the Sumps. That’s where the Machine Herald lives, waiting to take your soul and turn you into one of his puppets. That was not the Viktor she knew.
    The Viktor she knew had an expressive face. A brilliant mind she had thought of cultivating before Jayce came and they snatched each other from her. She remembered him as he was. The young man who would roll his eyes behind Heimerdinger’s back whenever he mistook a deadline by months. The man who broke every law, pretended to be sneaking Jayce Talis into his bedroom, and changed the world. The man who fought against his death with all he had and who Jayce loved. Like a brother, he’d said. Like something else, she’d thought.

    Mel mourns. Jayce and Viktor find her again.

    Summary

    Erik was hopeless and helpless to the man and had been for years.

    He had thought, once, maybe childishly, that he would get used to the torture that he was kept in. That Shaw’s words and actions would no longer hurt the way they had in the beginning and his body would get used to the strain he was in but that hadn’t happened. At one time, he had even thought that this wouldn’t be forever. That one day, maybe when he became an adult, Shaw would let him go. Even if he had been kicked out and left homeless, it would have been an improvement but that day still hadn’t come.

    At eighteen, Erik had been with Shaw for the last six years after his mother had died and he had no one else in his life.

    Summary

    For a prompt on tumblr a while back that went like this: Charles goes to hire an escort himself from (who else?) Emma Frost’s service, sees a photo of artist!Erik and tries to book him, only to find Erik’s photo was misplaced and Erik is himself a client looking for an escort for a gallery opening… so Charles gets Emma to let him show up as Erik’s escort. Erik mistakes him for a rich donor and they spend the evening talking and probably bickering in a very UST way because Erik probably hates people like that. And Erik’s seething because he paid good money for his date and he never showed up. And later Charles follows Erik to his limo and quips, “oh, I think I’m supposed to be your date tonight?” with a cheeky little smile.

    Except my brain decided that there would be plot and secrets and Sebastian Shaw and Charles having an actual mission and Erik worrying and hurt/comfort and an NC-17 rating and I don't even know.

    TL;DR: In which Charles isn't really an escort, Erik thinks he only wants a one-night stand, everybody's got a past, and there's quite a lot of sex on the way to the happy ending.

    Summary

    Erik and Charles talk and play a game of chess, and talk some more. As is with people who have such a unique connection, they quickly learn each other better while exploring themselves all the same. Throughout the conversation, the presence of the game ebbs and flows as they discuss everything from mutations to classical literature to morality.

    Summary

    It has been eight years since Charles has seen Erik. Eight years since they parted under unkind circumstances and Erik went off to sea. The boy he once knew is Captain Lehnsherr now and they are as known to one another as strangers, and yet--Charles finds that eight years has done nothing to diminish the feelings he had when he was 16 and in love.

    It's unfortunate then that Erik doesn't feel the same way.

    Summary

    “He wounds, Cub. You are aware of that.”

    “Yes. But he also heals. What we saw of him back then was also a reflection of us. He became what he needed to be in order to do his duties. We were hostile to one another, Stakh. Imagine how it was for us and how it was for an outsider… how it still is for an outsider.” Artemy looked down. It’s been months since the plague ended and still others treated Dankovsky like a stranger. He treated himself as a stranger. Calling him any other thing would have felt disingenuous... but it still felt wrong.

    “Of course. Humans need to adapt to their surroundings to live and survive. But snakes do not adapt when their skins shed, nor do they become anew. They become more of what they already are.” Rubin spoke slowly, choosing his words with either care or caution while looking at Daniil’s signature coat on the rack.

    Summary

    Phoenix Wright, owner of Wright & Co. Art Supplies, navigates moving into a new apartment with his daughter (to say nothing of the horde of other kids he's accidentally become a father figure to), a soulless new art store seeking to ruin his career, and a new neighbor that doesn't get home until 3 a.m. each night.
    Miles Edgeworth, owner of the KRMA radio station, navigates trying to keep the staggering amount of kids on his payroll out of trouble, attempting to breathe life into the dying medium that is radio, and a new neighbor who he's only ever seen at 3 a.m. each night.
    Their friends hope that those two lovestruck idiots figure themselves out.

    Summary

    Wilson had bought stickers.

    They were the kind that had little praises on them. “Gorgeous!”, “Stunning!”, or “Beautiful!” some read, while others were more like “Good Job!”, “Great Work!”, and “Wow! Spectacular!”

    The hospital had very good pediatrics, and Wilson took great care in making sure the cancer kids felt worthy of their life, even for a moment, even from a doctor who only knew them for a moment.

    That’s Wilson’s logic, anyway. House just called him silly.

    Summary

    A slow burn that's on one level about Gay Lawyers, and on another about healing from pain and finding joy in a world that sucks. Each chapter springs up around various homes, furniture, and found family. As Phoenix and Maya attempt to pick up the pieces after Mia's death, Edgeworth and Franziska are likewise struggling to figure out themselves and their feelings in the wake of Von Karma. Mostly about letting people into your life and letting them change your way of life: how caring for others can ultimately help you care for yourself.
    Title is taken from a poem of the same name by Jack Gilbert.

    Summary

    Ed turns himself, tugging Stede to turn with him. When he reaches up, catching Stede’s chin between his thumb and his forefinger, he’s gifted with an unexpected smile.

    Most people are terrified when they see him. They turn their heads, never looking towards, always away. There’s almost nobody alive willing to meet his eye. Yet, somehow, every time he looks at Stede, he’s met with this connection. Bright eyes and a warm, blooming smile and a reaching hand. Every time.

    He’s never had a constant before; he’s never felt so steady.
