    Summary

    “Satoru?” The word rings, fuzzy in his ears as it whines like tinnitus, familiar and heart stopping.

    ‘I’m dead.’ He can’t even hear his own thoughts over the loudness of the world, staggering where he stands, eyes still fixated on the sky, on the sun. ‘I’m dead, I died, I felt my heart stop, this can’t be, it can’t-’

    “Hey,” it comes again, a little more urgent than before, a little closer, another hammer to his ears and all the noise shrieking behind his eyes. He recoils hard enough to go stumbling as a hand reaches for him, covered in flesh rather than empty bone, tan and recognizable. Unbelievable.

    There’s something wet trickling from his nose. Bile stings on the back of his tongue. The words dissolve into the rest of the white noise as he stares up at the blue of the sky, and tries to remember if he’d ever had a hallucination as bright as this.

    ‘I have to be dead,’ he thinks. Somehow, he isn’t.

    Or: Gojo Satoru goes back in time. He makes a couple of changes for the better.

    Summary

    You've been dealing with chronic pain for a long time.
    But it's okay, because you can navigate your disease - that's so intent on kicking you while you're down - with your caring, attentive partners.

    And then, because healthcare is a gift that never stops giving, things get worse.
    The pain was already bad enough when it was just your body betraying you. It gets harder when the medication starts taking pieces of your mind with it - your memory, your words, your grip on reality.

    Good thing your boys are stubborn.
    And good thing they love you, even when you can’t quite remember how to feel real.

     

    *A warning bc it would be irresponsible of me not to write one here, too: everything beyond and including Chapter 4 deals more heavily with medical trauma, brain fog, dissociation, medication side effects, and the very fun experience of having to fight your own body, your own brain, and the healthcare system at the same time.

    Still hurt/comfort. Still self-indulgent. Still the Main Three doing their best to love you through the horrors.

    Just, y’know.

    More horrors.

    Summary

    “Do you think we'll ever get through to her?”

    “Everyone meets their breaking point eventually.” At Zoey's worried frown, Mira’s expression softened. She leaned down to kiss her forehead. “Don't worry, we'll be there to catch her when she falls.”

    -

    Mira's attempt at a spiel about love and friendship and unbreakable bonds turned to ash on her tongue.

    “Rumi. Rumi, no.”

    Rumi inched closer to the rail.

    “Rumi, please don’t.”

    Zoey’s foot moved.

     

    Rumi leapt.

    -

    Aka, another version of ‘Mira and Zoey find out about Rumi's patterns in a different way’ but this one's ✨mine✨

    Summary

    ‘Weird hair,’ is his first thought, eyes switching between the two people stood in front of them. ‘What do they want,’ is his second, fingers twitching at his sides as he wonders if he should try to call the demon dogs.

    “Fushiguro, right?” The taller one says, hands settling on his knees as he lowers into a crouch. “Megumi and Tsumiki?” He smiles as he says their names, glossy lips as bright as his eerie blue eyes in the warmer light of the late afternoon, familiar and fond.

    Almost, Megumi wonders, as if he knows them.

    Or: There are consequences to time travel. In this case, they turn out to be good ones.

Brendon found Ryan when they were both alone and needed a new start, and now, years later, he's the star of Ryan's cabaret. Ryan's sugarcoated abuse slips right past him and he continues to convince himself that it's just love.

    Summary

    Lan Xichen is a broken man no longer able to trust his own judgement. Jiang Wanyin was broken long ago, and he healed... badly. The cultivation world is off-balance, and it hasn't gone unnoticed.

    In the middle of an icy winter, a comet appears in the sky. Is it a warning? A celestial dragon? Have the gods, weary of waiting for cultivators to sort out their own mess, decided to take action?

    Over the course of three seasons, the two sect leaders are forced closer as they attempt to appease the gods and rebalance their land. Perhaps, in the course of their adventures, they will also find a way to rebalance themselves.

    TLDR: In which a fiery plot device in the sky forces two lonely, broken men to sort their shit out and find everything they'd been lacking in each other.

    Summary

    When Jason died, Bruce immortalized on paper what grief refused to let him utter out loud, lest his loss become final and his defeat become permanent

    Years later, a revived Jason would find those books and slowly piece together the shattered fragments of who his father was before he lost him, while reckoning with the fact that he was loved in every right way (and it had not saved him... and perhaps, it was never meant to)

    And Bruce now has to reflect whether or not his inability to reconcile with uncontrollable changes in his son is brought upon by strategic bitterness or fear (or both, if god would allow it)

    Because ultimately, there is no version of their family's story where one is totally in the right or wrong. There is only love; ugly, misguided, but honest, true love between people who are doing the very best they could.

    The file doesn’t read their names, but he knows what they are anyway.

    “What exactly is this,” Suguru utters, staring at the breaks in the cage where two little girl’s battered faces peer from, two wide sets of eyes fixing on him and where Satoru hovers just behind his planted feet, an overwhelming sort of noise picking up in the back of his head.

    Of course Neal was good with kids. Of course Neal was good with kids in languages Peter couldn’t hope to name. Of course he’d de-escalated the situation practically before Peter could get there.

    But all he could see was a kid, covered in blood and dirt and terrified, running into Neal’s arms as if he knew the conman would keep him safe. Make him feel safe again.
