Summary
The point is, Mike is pretty much content with going to the grave with his secret.
Or, at least, he used to think so, because, truthfully, foolishly, selfishly—
Will is smiling, his face flushed a lovely red, as he leans the slightest bit into her, with that soft carelessness that speaks of intimacy. On his side, too close to him, Robin Buckley shares a long look with him until they start giggling again, leaning against each other.
Mike hadn't contemplated the possibility of Will getting a girlfriend.
Or, Mike is jealous of Robin.

Summary
Vox had been having a rough few weeks. His rival, who he was madly in love with, humiliated him on Hell Wide TV, he realized his power was fully based off the leverage he had from other people, he lost his body, his approval was in the shitter, and he also maybe sorta tried killing everyone and himself with an angelic bomb.
On top of all that, his friends were running the company perfectly fine without him. They didn't need his help. All he was doing was dragging them down. But he could make it up to them.
He could fix this.Bookmarked by BucketInABox

Summary
"Still standing, Jason clicked on the folder and opened the first video – Jesus, there were quite a few – and suddenly Bruce was staring at him. He moved the mouse, thinking the video had frozen, but no, Bruce really did spend the first few seconds just staring. (...)
“I… I found the book in your bedside table. “The Picture of Dorian Gray.”” He paused, looked away, then back at the camera. “You were always reading. I can’t remember the last time I just read a book for fun.”"

That’s what being a dog is like – it's like you’re walking the very edge of the world, where almost all colour has run out, and you know that should you miss a step, you’ll fall off that edge... Then again, you already know all about it. The edge and the falling.” AU of the first war.

And as the cold hand of authority closed around him, Severus Snape could only wonder what awaited him on the other side of this nightmare, and whether he would ever find his way back to the light.

Summary
“I must not have heard you correctly, Headmaster,” Severus said flatly.
“You did, my boy. This isn’t only a favour to me, you understand.”
“But there must be trust," Severus insisted. "A bond… or some sort of relationship between mentor and pupil for Occlumency to be taught correctly! The only bond the brat and I share is one of mutual loathing.”
“Now, Severus, you are an adult and a Hogwarts professor. Surely, you can find a way to mend broken bridges.”
Broken bridges? Broken bridges? There had never been a "bridge" to begin with! Not with Potter, the carbon copy of his school bully, who spoke, acted, believed himself so superior to anyone else he might as well be the second coming of his father. There had always only been damp planks slogging down a river which separated them on two opposite banks. No bridge to speak of.
OR
Summer of Fifth Year. Dumbledore decides Harry should begin Occlumency immediately. Harry and Snape start seeing a lot of each other. Neither is thrilled, especially when they begrudgingly realise that maybe, possibly, perhaps, they might have more in common than they thought.- Language:

Summary
What if the golden trio wasn't the only group of Gryffindors who decided to interrogate the Slytherins in order to figure out who the Heir of Slytherin is? What if one day in study hall, a group of Gryffindors release veritsarum to all those present in the Great Hall. And what if Snape has a bad reaction to it and starts spewing his thoughts unhindered.
This never happened. But if it had, it might have gone something like this.

Summary
Severus had always known that he would die in a painful, most horrifying way ever since back when he was almost beaten to death by his father, then mauled by a werewolf, then thrashed around by a maniac overlord. His miserable, luckless life only seemed to lead to that one day when he would be struck down by a bloody snake, of all things.
Bleeding out in front of Harry Potter was just the last humiliation Lady Destiny had in store for him.
Suddenly staring into Potter senior’s eyes again while being levicorpused was just the icing on the cake.- Language:

Summary
It takes him seven years, but Severus does eventually learn to stop being alone. All of them do.
--
Slytherin would suit you best, I think. You have great ambition. The people you meet there might help you achieve it. Nothing could stand in your way.
I want to be with my friend.
Loyalty is a Hufflepuff trait. If you went there, she would not be so far away as all that.
I want to be with my friend.
Well, you are a stubborn one. In that case, it had better be,
“Gryffindor!”

Summary
"No," Ed agrees. "I loved you, too. Don't know if you knew that. I loved you, so I tore you apart and fed you bits of yourself. What's eating you, Iz?"
Izzy understands, finally. "I am."
But you fed me, he wants to say. You fed that starving thing, my heart. Fed my affliction. My affection. So when you fed me myself, I thanked you.
"That's right. And aren't you hungry, Izzy? Doesn't it hurt?"
"Ouroboros," Izzy says.
"Yeah. Stop chasing your tail, Iz."
"You don't need me."
"No. Could live without you. Wouldn't like it, but I could."
"I thought you were supposed to be convincing me to live." He's suddenly, violently, angry. "Doing a fucking shit job, Eddie. Did you come to rub my nose in it? Is that what this is?"
"You're missing the point, Izzy. I'm not the point."
