Summary
[By the way: facing the wall, such gentlemen—that is, the “direct” persons and men of action—are genuinely nonplussed. For them a wall is not an evasion, as for us people who think and consequently do nothing; it is not an excuse for turning aside, an excuse for which we are always very glad, though we scarcely believe in it ourselves, as a rule. No, they are nonplussed in all sincerity. The wall has for them something tranquillising, morally soothing, final—maybe even something mysterious ... but of the wall later.]

Summary
“Can cranes drown?” you had asked. And you’d worried for a moment that asking had been wrong, because Daddy stared at you with eyes like scalpels between bites of sweet melon until the water stilled.
“Oh, yes,” he told you. “If it breathes air, it can drown. Never, ever forget that, Helena.”
Helly is a person. So is Helena.
Only one of them truly believes that.Bookmarked by Stopwatch

Summary
“Lu Guang,” Cheng Xiaoshi sighs, in utter bliss, “have I ever told you that you’re the best in the world? How could I ever repay you? Tell me right now because I’ll do it, I swear.”
Even from this distance, Cheng Xiaoshi can make out the hint of a smile tugging at the corners of Lu Guang’s mouth.
“Don’t sound too happy yet,” Lu Guang hums.
“How could I not—” Cheng Xiaoshi starts, right before Lu Guang’s skilful thumbs sweep gently upwards, find a divot in his skin, and dig in like hot coals. “OWWW—LU GUANG—ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL ME BEFORE WE GRADUATE—”
phantasmagoria; noun

He knows that he can't save everyone. But it would be nice if he could just save someone.

It starts as it always does with children; a bomb dropped into a few words, underlined by the curious intonation that comes with it and the deafening quiet that always follows.

Summary
“Anya let it slip that Becky has something of a crush on you.”
Loid’s face heats, and he clears his throat. “How on earth could she? I’ve barely met the kid.”
“You can’t blame Becky,” Yor starts.
“I guess not. Kid’s whims are always--”
“You’re very kind and handsome, and--”
They both stop. At this rate, Loid will never get Yor’s hair untangled. He shakes himself and continues, about halfway through at this point. He should just leave it, but he can practically feel Yor vibrating with doubt, and what sort of husband would be comfortable abandoning his wife to her anxious thoughts?

Summary
Gwen Stacy falls for Spider-Man. Falls in love, falls and breaks, falls and gets caught, falls but really trips and catches herself, falls and falls and falls for him. That’s how it goes.
But what if you’re both? The girl who falls and the superhero left behind? Brings to mind a spider’s skin, shed husk as she wiggles out of her past life. Sacrificial lamb to canon and its martyr both. Some Joan of Arc, victim and champion, burned at the stake.--
The conversations, upside-down and rightside-up, recontextualized. How would you feel, knowing you're supposed to die half the time so he can fly - knowing your best friend was never supposed to fly at all?

“Wei-xiong,” Nie Huaisang says with a faint smile, and opens a small door in the cage. The canary hops from his hand onto a twisting nearby branch and then flutters its wings to fly away.
Wei Wuxian notices, idly, that all the birds are quite small, small enough that the vast cage lets them flit as cheerfully from perch to perch as any wild thing. Nie Huaisang never could bear the idea of clipping his pets’ wings to keep them near.
In which two old friends play a game of truths.

Summary
Sometimes Lan Qiren wondered why Nie Huaisang was so determined to hide his light under a stone. He would have long ago grown bored of playing weiqi against the foolish headshaker of legend or the vacant-eyed crybaby that perennially sobbed into his nephew’s sleeve, and yet they had been playing these games for years and years, all throughout the decade since Nie Huaisang had become Sect Leader.
He didn’t ask, though, and he didn’t point it out to anyone.
He’d find out the reason, one day.

Summary
Izuku is five years old the first time he's saved by heroes. He's an instant fan of the woman in pink with her cheerful smile and the man with his ice powers and fine-boned features, even if they both refuse to tell him their names.
For most of his life, Izuku has been the centre of villain attacks, but he has never been injured. Every time, he's saved by bright, unknown heroes—heroes who smile at Izuku, and ruffle his hair or ply him with hugs, and seem mesmerised by how small he is.
Heroes that the rest of the world doesn't believe exists.
