I've been trying to figure you out, tell me then would you lend a hand? by Dark_Rosaleen
Fandoms: Stranger Things (TV 2016)
10 Oct 2022

Summary
“So, tell me what’s so great about Harrington, then.”
He doesn’t really know why he says it, it’s not like Eddie cares about the old King of Hawkins High; Steve Harrington is an asshole. That’s just a fact of life. The sky is blue, high school is pointless, Steve Harrington is a dickhead.
But Eddie likes this kid, likes all of them actually.
Dustin turns to look at him, a small smile on his lips, his eyes softening, and bingo.
-
Six times Eddie tries to understand who Steve is, and the one time he finally manages it. (and works some things out about himself along the way.)
Title is from 'Figure you out' by Djo - because I had to and the lyrics fit.

Summary
Zoro just crosses his arms in return, clearly defiant. “Captains orders.”
A muscle twitches in Sanji’s jaw. “Don’t be an idiot.”
Zoro’s eye narrows. “Captains orders.”
Sanji knows a losing battle when he sees one, but he’s never gone down without a fight. “I will not share a bed with you,” he hisses, hands tightening into fists.
Or, five times Zoro and Sanji sleep together... and the one time they don't

"Are you hitting on me?"
John stared openly at Butcher as he reached blindly for the scotch and downed it like a shot. Butcher’s grin was a dangerous thing and his eyes promised a beautiful ruin.
“Name’s Billy,” he said, holding out his hand.
(AKA Homelander goes out in his civilian identity and encounters Billy Butcher at a bar)

Summary
He’s a boy hiding in a closet, temporarily safe from the men who will inevitably tie his ankles to the bedframe until they pull into harbor somewhere at the bottom of Africa. He’s a monster who killed a paralegal in cold blood eight hours ago. He’s five hundred years old. He’s fourteen, maybe— they guess his age instead of asking at the auction. It doesn’t take long for Arun to forget all the things he used to know about himself, to be reliant upon the slavers’ incomplete records for his last name, his birthday, the name of his village.
They don’t pass this information on to the brothel owner. The next time he loses it, he can’t get it back.
[Armand has a nightmare. It sticks around when he wakes up. Louis talks him down.]

cast of crouching boy, 1524 by IgnoreThePineapples
Fandoms: Interview with the Vampire (TV 2022)

Tags
Summary
“I never saw the finished piece,” Armand says wistfully, “only the preparatory sketches.”
It’s mostly the surprise that knocks the laugh out of Daniel.
Armand twists to face him, face twisted into a wounded grimace.
“C’mon,” Daniel groans. “I mean, seriously? Michelangelo’s muse?”
“Don’t laugh,” Armand says quietly.
Daniel should stop. He knows he should stop, that he's pushing too far on buttons he knows he should leave well alone. But what was it Armand had said at the penthouse? It’s his nature. He can never resist throwing one more bomb.
or:
a museum date goes wrong.

"I know what a breakup looks like," Daniel says. "The better question is, why are you coming to me about it? I'm the one who broke up your little sham."
"This is what humans do, don't they?" Armand asks, letting his voice drop. "Crashing on their friends' couches when there's a blip in their romances?"
"Except we're not friends. We're actually very much not friends." Daniel shrugs, as if it's all the same to him. "And I can't imagine the great vampire Armand deigning himself to sleep on my fucked-up sofa. That thing's been here since the nineties."
"Well," Armand only says. "I saw you have a guest bedroom."

"Armand?" said the man with the silver hair. "Hey man, it'd be great if you could weigh in here."
"My name is Amadeo, sirs."
The silver-haired man stared at him.
"You see?" said the blond man after a moment, folding his arms. "This is why I have long mistrusted the craven commercialism of online recommendations. Daniel, when it comes to magic, you really should learn to rely on word of mouth instead."

Summary
“When Jee met Zuko the first thing that struck him was the sheer tininess of the prince. He was thin, almost concerningly so, and he barely reached past his uncle’s waist. His prepubescent face still clung to baby fat.
Half of his face was wrapped in bandages and Jee knew the injury underneath must be horrific.”
Or
Jee hates the fire nation, Ozai and homophobia. He adopts Zuko along the way

Summary
Angel's eyes are back on the city, now, but he's a little more slouched. He seems almost…
Vox can't tell. Disappointed, maybe?
“I didn't know he hurt you, too.”
Vox bristles, electricity crackling between his antennas, and he reaches out, grabbing Angel's shirt with another smile, far more dangerous.
“He doesn't hurt me."
Angel can't do that. He can't treat Vox like he's—
Like they're the same. Like the two of them are anywhere near the same level of anything.

Summary
"Sanji took pleasure in the strength of his legs, the ease of flexibility, his joints a smooth glide beneath his skin, not like they were in the early months of recovery after the rock. He took pleasure in food. In the joy of cooking for the people he loved. In a good lay after a long dry spell. Pain was a part of life, but it wasn’t everything.
Except after Whole Cake Island, things were… different."
OR:
In the aftermath of Whole Cake Island, Sanji develops trauma-related chronic pain, and Zoro makes it his business.

Summary
"Sanji would have given anything to be in Zoro's position, to have such a woman fawning over him. But it’s clear Zoro isn’t into what’s happening, and Sanji can feel something bitter on his tongue at the sight.
Sanji stands, feeling drunk despite the lack of alcohol in his system. He's not sure what he's doing as he approaches the pair. He's relieved they're locked in such an intense stare with one another that they don't notice him. He's certain he would have turned on his heel had anyone perceived what he was about to do. "

"He hears a strangled sound – a laugh poorly disguised as a cough – and maintaining his dignity becomes significantly more difficult at the abrupt reminder that Emmrich can hear everything Spite says."
Self-indulgent and slightly silly Rookanis feat. a decent amount of sleep deprivation, a slightly touch-starved Crow, and an elven Rook who, at the end of the day, just wants kisses.

“So I’ve been thinking,” Tom begins one evening over dinner, “Indulge me, if you will.”
Greg nods, expecting some outrageously normal idea for the night ahead. ‘Let’s rent a movie and do ketamine, Greg, it would be so fucking funny, bro.’ Par for the course type shit.
“I, uhh,” Tom pauses to sip his wine, “I think we should fuck.”

“You are taking all of this too much to heart,” Lestat scoffed. “I should not be surprised that Louis’ latest fledgling would have such compassion, but Armand is quite happy with Marius. He saved him, mon ami. Do not fret over him, Daniel. He is right where he wants to be. I swear it.”
Or:
Canon Divergent AU: The Great Conversion is coming. Louis needs more help than just his newest fledgling, Daniel, can offer to get his memoir published. Lestat calls in a favor from an old friend. Daniel didn't have to be one of the best journalists of his generation to see a messed up dynamic between an abuser and his victim.
