    Summary

    Strong arms wrap around him pulling him back. Further and further and devastatingly far from the ledge. Far from the end of his misery. He fights and hits but the arms don't let up. The arms finally let go and he whips around to see who kept him from freedom.

    Hopper towers over him and he has fear in his eyes. More fear than Steve saw in them when they were facing literal monsters from hell.

    Summary

    Izuku had always been too much. Too intense, too sensitive, too emotional.

    His heart overflowed with love for every person and every little thing in the world,a love that still burned brightly even after being buried beneath years of mistreatment and contempt for something he could never control.

    But perhaps he would find a place where that love was not only welcomed, but needed. He would discover that some souls are so broken they ache for that kind of connection, even if they cannot admit it. And he would come to learn how something as simple as affection could completely change the course of a story.

    Or: Izuku finds a family within the League of Villains and becomes the piece that binds them together, reminding them that they are still human.

    Summary

    Steve Harrington has spent years becoming exactly who everyone expects him to be.

    The babysitter. The hero. The guy with the nail bat. The one who smiles, shrugs off another bruise, and insists he's fine before anyone can ask twice.

    It's easier that way.

    After Vecna's defeat, Hawkins begins the long process of healing. Eddie Munson gets a second chance at life, and for reasons he can't quite explain, he finds himself drawn to the one person who never seems to let anyone get too close.

    The more Eddie learns about Steve, the more he realises just how little anyone actually knows about him.

    Some people keep secrets because they're ashamed.

    Steve keeps them because he doesn't believe anyone would stay if they knew.

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Or: Steve Harrington has spent years making sure nobody looks closely enough to notice anything about him.

    Then Eddie Munson survives the Upside Down, starts asking questions, and refuses to stop looking.

    Summary

    Grandpa, still smiling with hints of affection and pride at his son, spoke up. “She's a prodigy, just like you, Light.” Mom hugged her daughter tightly.

    “Ah! I'm so proud of my little girl! She's doing great in kindergarten, she's well-mannered and courteous, she's also good at drawing... and she even plays the piano!”

    After a few seconds, mom broke away to hug dad. Hikaru watched the scene in confusion, noticing her father's grimace, which disappeared as soon as he met her eyes.

    “Light. You're really lucky to have a family like that.” Her grandfather nodded at his own statement, followed by his younger colleague, who exclaimed, almost sobbing. “I think I'm going to cry!”

    The afro-haired man cupped his eyes in exasperation. “Oh my God, Matsuda, don't start!”

    Or: what if Light and Misa had a daughter after L's death?

    Summary

    At eleven, Tim Drake tried to blackmail Batman into making him Robin. Batman made it clear that he did not want another Robin, and certainly didn't want Tim. Which is...fine. But Batman tattling to his parents about Tim's hobbies and getting him sent to a boarding school overseas feels a little targeted. Now, he is back in Gotham under the conditions of 1) not bothering the Waynes, 2) not blabbing about his home life, and 3) following through on "familial duties."

    So, why is Dick Grayson trying to talk to him at a gala?

    Or:

    Tim misunderstands adults, Dick is concerned, Bruce is trying very hard to adopt this feral child, and Jason is still Tim's favorite superhero.

    Summary

    Chase's heart practically fell out of his ass when he saw Mecha Man Blue explode and fall out of the sky four months ago. He had been tempted to run his ass all the way over there to save the poor kid when he saw it on TV.

    He feels the same way when Mandy tells him Robert's stable and awake.

    It makes him think about everything he's done for Robert and his family. He could've done more. Tried harder. Been there more. Been there quicker.

    If only Robert didn't get his stubbornness from his dad, then maybe he could've been there for him and prevented him from pulling that dumb shit. Maybe he could be there for him now instead. He fucking hopes so.

    Summary

    “Because you’ll let yourself feel that. You’ll let yourself be angry. You’ll let yourself play the protector. You’ll even let yourself flirt with me.” Her voice dropped to a fierce, broken whisper. “But God forbid you let yourself be honest. God forbid you feel something real.”

    SIARA TIERNEY returns to Cork for the first time since childhood, expecting nothing more than ghosts. The streets are familiar, the faces are not, and every step through the city reminds her that she's spent a lifetime mastering the art of keeping people at arm's length. Love, belonging, permanence—she's long since convinced herself those are things meant for other people.

    TADHG LYNCH is tired of being the person everyone has already decided he is. Cork sees a troublemaker, a reputation too heavy to outrun. Beneath the anger and the sharp edges is someone desperate to be understood, yet certain that the mess inside him will only destroy anyone foolish enough to stay.

    Summary

    Nations are like boys. They grow fast and lanky and stretched-out, aching in the joints and the muscles and baring bloody teeth, angry, hungry. Salt and iron between the teeth, under the tongue, spilling rivers into land that was never theirs to own. Wanting so much, wanting what isn’t theirs, wanting the security of being grown, sea to shining sea. Eking blood and life by the scraped, welling skin of their fingertips from stone and dirt. The nectar of growing boys and young nations.

    The territory of Kansas is a bed of kindling in a lightning storm in 1847, and by 1856 it is on fire. Dean has a secret he's forgotten is a secret, Sam's so full of teenage angst he can't see what's right in front of him, and John wouldn't be alive if it weren't for the all-consuming poison of revenge. The flames are lapping at their heels and the fire is hungry.

    Summary

    Daenerys Targaryen had a five-year plan, a successful law career, and complete control over her life.

    Then she woke up married to a six-foot-five cowboy she met in Las Vegas.

    Jonathan Stark is everything she never expected: stubborn, steady, frustratingly charming, and determined to do right by the woman wearing his wedding ring.

    What starts as a disastrous mistake turns into something neither of them planned for—a ranch, a family, a whole lot of chaos, and a love neither saw coming.

    Sometimes the best things in life happen completely by accident.
