    Summary

          Vanitas liked to consider himself a practical man.

                He liked to think that he was rather adept at overcoming unexpected situations, that he could react accordingly to any surprises that arose in his path. He had one goal in life, and it was as steadfast as it was all consuming. He didn’t need to think about anything else, didn’t want to think about anything else because nothing else mattered, not to him and not at all.

                He had believed that for a long time, right up until now, as he sat rigidly on his usual spot on the roof, cheek still burning despite the cold.

                Burning in the spot where Noe had kissed him.

    Summary

    Akaza laughs, but something much darker flickers across his face. “A host typically provides amenities for guests because they can trust them, Kyojuro,” he says. “You have me wear your clothing, you dry my hair. Did you do this because you trust me, or in order to convince yourself that you have to?”

    Or: Akaza and Kyojuro meet on a brief middleground during a rainy night.

    Summary

    “And have you made this entire call without once vexing or offending poor Miss Ghafa?”
    Captain Rietveld looked coolly at him. Inej bent her head over her sewing to hide her smiling, since she was not sure she would not laugh outright. She had not thought that Wylan would deliberately provoke the Captain, but perhaps his deference to his father did not reach anyone else.
    “I am sure that is not for me to decide,” said the Captain, “But I own I have been perfectly well behaved.”
    “Does he lie, Miss Ghafa?”
    “No— he has been quite tolerable company,” said Inej. “If not quite a perfect gentleman.”
    “You wound me, Miss Ghafa.”
    “I suspect I do not, Captain.”

    Summary

    Once, Kaz had said that Wylan thought like a lockpick. Wrong. Wylan thought like a clock, ticking, ticking, counting down the seconds he had left to live.

    Breathe, he told himself, told Jesper, as the world spun and the canal waters swallowed him under: six minutes. He could survive without oxygen for six minutes.

    ----------------------

    Or, a Wylan character study: the one in which Wylan meets a lost prince, Jesper writes a song, and Kaz loses a chess match.

    Summary

    It’s good for circulation, Jesper would usually tease, but now he only turned and added: “Pay up, Kaz.”

    “You cheated,” Kaz accused.

    Wylan shrugged. “We can play again.”

    --------------

    Or, the one in which Wylan proves a point with chess, Jesper finds a blindfold, and Kaz visits a canal.

    Summary

    With Inej...there was a lot he couldn't control, a fact that he still wasn't comfortable coming to grips with. But he could control the shaking; he could focus on his breathing, and square his shoulders, and even out his footing so his weight wouldn't crush his leg too bad. He could walk to her and talk to her; touch her sleeve, maybe even slide down his fingers to the pulse in her wrist.

    Seven months she'd been gone. He could - he had to do this.

    --

    Kaz faces feelings as Inej makes her return to Ketterdam.

    Summary

    In the four years since Sebastian finally laid claim to Ciel's soul, he has visited Elizabeth four times. Because even with no remaining obligation to Ciel or those he left behind, he can't seem to forget six years of steadfast loyalty. (Elizabeth is not impressed, but even now, inexplicably, she can't bring herself to distrust him. And he always is a great deal of help...)

    Summary

    The ship's horn sounded again, loud, washing through the air like a tangible thing he could grab if he tried hard enough, and another shiver wracked his body, involuntary and painful. The relief he felt was overwhelmed by the reminder he still had to sit in this squalid boat until his rescue.

    He heard a contemplative noise from behind him that he had learned a while ago meant Sebastian was assessing his health.

    "Here, young master," Sebastian said quietly, wrapping the wool coat on his shoulders tighter, as if that could help, as if he wasn't still just as wet as before. When Sebastian pulled his hand away, Ciel was dismayed to find himself automatically leaning with it, chasing the contact.

    It had been a rough night. He hadn't slept yet. He doubted it meant anything.


    Ciel and Sebastian, in the aftermath of the Campania's sinking, in the day after being rescued.

    Summary

    Wade scoffs, shaking his head and elbowing Peter in the side. “Sure,” he says, sarcastic. “That’s why your spidey-sense doesn’t see me.”

    Peter’s on the verge of laughing, wanting to join Wade in his amusement, but he freezes. His entire body goes still. He finds himself staring at a roof three buildings over, not even looking at anything. Two blocks away, a car alarm finally shuts off.

    “I never told you that,” Peter says, the realization startling him.

    Or: Peter's starting to realize just how much Wade knows about him.

    Summary

    No, Felix Hugo Fraldarius is far from immune to emotions. Glenn's death made him feel emotions. Dimitri's childlike laughter on the battlefield made him feel emotions.

    "I knew I should have been singing about bears! Or swamp beasties!"

    Annette's voice makes him feel emotions.

    Felix has also gotten good at compartmentalizing emotions, setting them aside, dealing with them later, and later, and later. But if "later" didn't exist for Glenn, for Dimitri..."later" definitely doesn't exist in wartime. What a shame those "emotions" still do.

    Summary

    There is a thud and a vibration that courses through the wood at his back, and now his voice is a lot closer to his ear. Almost like he is in there with him.
    “I’m scared,” he confesses, almost as quiet as a whisper.
    Shoyou turns his head, leaning his ear closer.
    He sniffles. “Of what? Of me?” He asks.
    Kageyama is quiet for a long time. In that time, Shoyou’s breathing evens out some.
    “I guess I’ve always been like a beetle,” he finally says

    When a fight with his parents results in Shoyou dashing out into the snow blizzard without a place to go, chance has him stumbling into Kageyama out on his daily jog--and by extention--has him stumbling headfirst into his lonesome life.

    When a storm keeps them locked in with nothing but each other as company a thousand things rise to the surface.

    Summary

    A long moment passes between them, and Hinata watches, starstruck, as Heitor’s eyes linger on Nice’s silhouette from across the venue. His voice is deep, rich, all encompassing. “Some people change your life just by being in it, and you don’t want to let that go.”

    Huh, Hinata thinks grandly.
