Summary
When getting to Khem seems impossible, tactics change, and people fall.
'It was Charn who had remained beside Jet. Every so often, he’d run his hands down to check the pulse, which continued to beat strongly in Jet’s wrist. A constant reminder that there was still light in the newfound darkness. He’d shift the ice around, carefully checking to make sure that the condensation hadn’t dampened Jet’s shirt each time. He’d run the back of his hand every so lightly up against Jet’s neck and cheeks, which had regained much of their color, as if checking for fever.'

Summary
Jet ends up in a bit of trouble, and Charn lends him a helping hand.
'Jet had intended to ignore the assholes. He had intended on walking back over to where Charn was currently painting, intended on saying something oddly threatening while asking if he’d remembered anything about the previous night, intended on then drinking a crap ton of water and heading back to his master’s place.
But now he couldn’t.
It wasn’t even that he wanted to go and confront those assholes; he had to. The match had been struck, and now the need burned something horrid.'

Summary
Jeff watches as Charlie's happiness finally breaks free from the mask he's always worn.
'Several years ago, Jeff would have never believed he’d be standing shoulder to shoulder with the love of his life, watching his big brother — the only person who’d ever matter to him, who’d ever cared, who’d ever tried — get married. He’d never believed that Charlie would be able to smile in such an unrestrained manner. Vibrant, bright, magnetic, warm. Never before had Jeff even allowed himself to hope for such a happy future.'

Summary
Charlie wakes up having lost years of his life. Memories gone. A hollow void having replaced them. But he was still Charlie. His body recognized safety in Babe, and his trust in Jeff was unshaken. However, neither seemed to fully dispel the inexplicable unease Alan seemed to bring him.
Charlie might not remember what exactly happened between him and Alan, but his body doesn't trust the leader of the X-Hunters anymore. It doesn't go unnoticed.

Summary
When Alan agreed, he had done so under the small hopeful light of protecting the others. He should have known what was to come. He should have thought it through. But now, he has to move forward in the shadow he's created.
"Maybe once he dealt with Tony, Alan could volunteer at the lab in Charlie’s place. Maybe then Charlie could be cared for in the way he deserved, and Alan would be able to prove to everyone that he was capable of protecting them all."

Summary
At some point, in the quiet safety that followed Tony's downfall, an understanding formed between them. Nothing loud. Nothing bold. Just puzzle pieces falling into their proper places. In the thick humidity of summer, Alan vowed to stand by Charlie if ever the younger needed support. And in the fluorescent lighting of the garage, Jeff came to understand just how deeply Babe's affection truly was. They didn't pick sides intentionally, but they knew where they'd be if they ever had to.
A look into why Alan stood with Charlie following the Willy debacle, and why Jeff championed Babe even to his own brother.

Summary
It had always been an inevitability for Charlie. As long as he could absorb someone's gifts, he'd always known he'd do it to protect people he loved. At any cost.
"Charlie had asked once, years ago, back just after they’d escaped Tony’s and Jeff was suffering from another power-driven migraine. They were eating cheap instant ramen in their run-down single-bedroom apartment. Drowning in the unrelenting humidity that their small air conditioning unit couldn’t win against. Eighteen and sixteen. No money. No real job, though Charlie had been lucky enough to find day labor nearly every week since they’d escaped."

Second Chances by ChibiPanda

Summary
Six months had passed, and everything was tearing at the seams. Jack's group of misfit friends were struggling to keep everything together. Desperate for answers. Desperate for closure. A chance sighting was all it took to send the world spinning once more. Hopefully, this time things would end right...
'There, clear as day, was Joke. He was thinner, weak-looking, limping sluggishly along the path, hand clasped over his stomach every few steps, but the tattoo on his hand was a screaming beacon.'

Summary
Faifa's skepticism following his mother's 'apology' was proven right in an instant. While he has had years to come to terms with this reality, his brothers seem less inclined to let things continue as they are.
'The biggest difference between his brothers had always been how they responded to conflict. Yotha, regardless of what his role in the incident might be, would match the veracity. Attack wildly. He’d fight fire with fire, fists with fists, and anger with anger. He’d always been that way, even when he and Faifa could barely walk. In contrast, Faifa only matched energy for someone else’s benefit. Otherwise, he absorbed it quietly. Eventually retreating to one of his ‘secret’ places. Places Newton once knew all the locations of, but now, likely couldn’t even find one of them.'

Summary
Now officially together, Wine contemplates what he can and can't say to the people around Faifa - how much he can interfere and how much he should. Discoveries are made, and new lines are drawn. But one thing is clear, Wine's live for Faifa runs far deeper than he thought possible.
'Faifa nodded, sinking into an even more deflated posture, “I don’t think… I don’t think I can keep doing this…knowing she doesn’t,” he paused again, and Wine could see the word ‘love’ form and die on his lips, “that’s one thing. But constantly being reminded of it. Constantly being left…”
If Wine could make everything better, he’d do so in a heartbeat. Instead, he gently pulled Faifa into his arms, offering as much love as he could possibly pour into the hug.'

Summary
An accident pushes Wine to conclusions and confrontations. Neither of which are things he likes, but for Faifa he can do it.
'But he’s not your priority!” Wine snapped back, “He’s never been your priority — he’s afraid to even try. But you know what? He is my priority"

Summary
From the outside looking in, Faifa always appeared to have it all put together - but Wine could see through the cracks. And, perhaps, more importantly, he wanted to.
'He loved Faifa, even if he wasn’t ready to put the feeling into words just yet. Each day, the feeling grew and overpowered all his insecurities with terrifying ease. Loving Faifa was effortless somehow. He made Wine want to do things – to socialize, to help, to care – he made Wine feel right, like nothing in the world could ever change it. He felt protected but wanted nothing more than to protect at the same time.'

Summary
Once the dust had settled, Joke grapples with the past and Jack proves nothing will get in their way.
'It was a silly thing really. Strange that humans could be sidelined over something as small as a virus or a bacteria. When he was little, Joke used to envision those microscopic organisms like tiny monsters that would set up a camp in the back of his throat – lighting fires and building houses – whenever he was sick. Why else would his throat feel so raw and agitated? Why would his nose run if not for the small monsters with their small water hoses clearing the area for their small houses? Plus, if viruses and bacteria were monsters, then his father was a superhero fighting against them.'

The Things we Fear by ChibiPanda

22 Feb 2025
Tags
Summary
Peace and safety weren't things Joke was particularly accustomed to - it was a hard adjustment - and certain things pushed him right up to the edge without his permission.
'They hadn’t been nightmares. Not by his definition, those were more visceral. Nightmares had Jack turning a blind eye when Joke needed him — had Toi’s body, lifeless and bloodied — had his father publicly disown him once again. Nightmares lingered in the shadows for hours after he’d wake up, taunting him with their potential reality. No, these dreams had been illogical, colorless images with no storyline just deep-seated anxiety flooding through Joke’s entire body. Unfettered unease threatening to crack his ribs and crush his core from the inside out. He would wake up from these types of dreams confused and anxious, unable to settle.'

Joke in a Box by ChibiPanda

01 Feb 2025
Tags
Summary
In the wake of everything, Jack lets himself bask in his love for Joke and sees things with clear eyes. Some of which he wished he had seen sooner. Some things he wished he had never had to see at all.
'The box suddenly felt heavy in Jack’s arms. Weighted down by years of neglect at best — the realization of it all only added to its intensity. The reality of it all was far more troublesome than he had ever imagined. He’d known Joke’s relationship with his father was precarious. That was plain as day, clear for all to see, and he’d assumed it had been because of the stealing — not that it went back so much farther than five or six years ago.'

Summary
Both Jack and Joke struggle to move forward after the dust has settled. Too much has happened, and everything leaves a mark.
'Things like this always made Joke feel so many conflicting emotions. He loved it — craved it — wanted to stay in moments where Jack was affectionate indefinitely — wanted never to break the atmosphere and allow the feeling of safety to consume him. It was like a drug; he wasn’t sure he could survive a day without the affection anymore. He’d grown too used to it and needed it like oxygen.'

Summary
A chance encounter and a night of drinking give Jack insight into Joke's past. Some revelations are great and some are less than ideal, but all of them make up the person Jack sees before him.
'“Without it, I’m nothing. Insignificant. Worthless. Poof — I’d only have given it up with good reasons,” his arms fell to his sides heavily, deflated, “Some things are worth losing everything for…'

Summary
Joke runs into some old 'friends' and makes some less-than-ideal decisions - thankfully, Jack doesn't buy into that bull most of the time.
'“Okay…” Joke tried to reel in his emotions, “next time…next time I’ll call you,”
“Next time?”
“Yeah, next time I get stabbed I’ll call you,”
Jack scoffed, resting his head on Joke’s shoulder, “Of course you will...”'*this is a stand alone fic*
