Summary
“You’re mad I stopped our fight,” Sett seemed genuinely bewildered, as though he had only just realised Draven was being serious. “What, did you think I did it out of pity?”
“You thought I couldn’t take it.” Draven huffed accusatorily, his face burning with embarrassment. You think I’m weak, was the unspoken ending, a shame too devastating to put into words.
Again, there was a silence, as Draven’s accusation hung in the air. Sett seemed to be weighing up what the right response would be. Looking back at their whole conversation, Draven was unsure if he himself even knew the right answer that could calm the storm between them. Abruptly, Sett seemed to reach the end of his calculation.
“I know you can take it,” Sett affirmed in a quiet tone. “I know how much you wanted to take it.”
That, somehow, was the right answer.
_Intent to earn his penance through violence and alcohol, a newly exiled Draven stumbles into Ionia looking to get himself hurt.
Luckily for him, Sett is well practiced at both the hurting and the soothing.

Summary
He was positive he could take on an intruder as long as they were not some huge body builder.
The door knob twisted and he was running out of time. He quickly spotted the discarded Converse and grabbed a shoe. He held the sneaker up in the air like a bat. He was ready to shoe this trespasser in the head if that was a thing. He wasn’t sure if it was. Shit!
The door flung open and a young man strolled out without a care in the world, humming some song to himself, oblivious to his surroundings – no situational awareness to be found. His brown hair was wet and messy with strands askew.
And… he was completely naked. One hundred percent bare. Peter’s eyes drifted down the pale torso that was covered in moles with some beads of water still trickling down his rib cage towards the vee of his narrowed waist.
His eyes could not help but follow the trail towards his crotch to check out… “oh my fucking God. Who are you?” The other voice unfortunately sliced through his ogling session causing his eyes to refocus back to the young man’s face who now finally appeared startled by a stranger standing in front of him.
Oh yeah, he was supposed to be confronting an intruder; not checking him out

Summary
Finishing his food only left a deep sorrow; tears forming at his eyes mimicking the ones on the daughter’s face; a memory too vivid to forget: Red… Clinging to a knife. Like red staining pink silk… Red like the bloodchurning cheers from the crowd under a sunny, blue sky…
A forever unanswered question, cried in high-pitched desperation... Red.Series

Summary
After Harvey fires Mike for betraying him with Jessica, Rachel demands that Mike confess what he is hiding from her. But unlike in canon, Mike stands by his refusal to tell her, even though that means losing the last person in his life that he loves who hadn’t died or abandoned him already. Harvey overhears their fight and finds Mike collapsed on the ground and sobbing in the Pearson Hardman library after Rachel storms out the door, leaving Mike behind. Harvey is nowhere near ready to forgive his former associate for betraying him, but he’s also not ready to let him suffer completely on his own.
Set towards the end of Season 2, Episide 16 (Season Finale)- “War” and extending through or replacing Season 3, Episode 2- “I Want You to Want Me.”
(No AU; not related to my other works).

Summary
Though Westeros does not yet know it, it is on the brink of change. Robert Baratheon is not long for the Iron Throne, and his death will set into motion a series of events that will reach every corner of the realm. In the cold North, Robb Stark comes into maturity, Jon Snow struggles to prove himself, and Sansa Stark dreams of true love. Further south, Evangeline Royce does her duty, Rosemary Mooton struggles with hers, and Caessandre Sand embarks on a mission, while Houses Caron and Tyrell grapple with love and responsibility. These are the woes of the young—commonplace and to be expected. There is one thing, however, that no one is counting on: the Targaryen threat to the East becoming a reality.
idk this is a terrible summary of what this is about but i can't even begin to describe it at this point. you'll figure it out!!

“Well?” she demanded.
“Well what?” Malfoy retorted, blanching slightly.
“Are we going to do this or not?" she snapped, her impatience barely masking the churning in her stomach.
“Do what, exactly?” he drawled, his eyes narrowing. “Pretend we're best mates now for the Ministry's benefit? I’d rather clean out Mrs. Norris’ litter box for a year.”
