Summary
A love song. Who the hell was listening to such whimsy, amongst the murderers and the thugs of the Barrel?
(You are, and you’re the cruelest of them all.)
Kaz scowled into the darkness of the room. It’s not like he had much choice, unless he opened the window and shot the singer.---
Most sensible people avoid the Barrel during major celebrations, out of a healthy sense of self-preservation and fondness for their limbs and wallets. Kaz, on the other hand, does not have the luxury of avoiding everyone else's good cheer. What he does have is a useless gang full of teenage idiots, an irritatingly persistent three-legged dog, a few memories he'd rather forget, and a time limit.

Summary
[SPOILERS TO C4E5.]
Occtis is still holding his head up high, but now that they’re in better lighting, Julien realizes he looks a bit unsteady. Nonetheless, the boy's voice is steadfast. “I have some work I need to get done this evening. If you want to stay in this stupid room while that happens, I can’t stop you, but I expect you to be polite about it.”
Deciding the unsteadiness is only to be expected, Julien tries to muddle past it. “What kind of work?”
Occtis’s jaw goes tight. “I… have to start making some adjustments, or else I won’t ‘heal’ properly. Is that going to be a problem for you?”
Julien doesn’t know what he’s supposed to respond to that, so he defaults to setting some parameters. “There’s a sorry excuse for a curtain that you may use as a partition if you desire. I’ll take this bed; that side of the room is all yours to do as you see fit.”
Occtis just stares at him. “You’re… fine with this?”
Julien rolls his eyes. “Yes. I am extremely fucking fine with everything that is happening. Everything is extremely fucking great with me.” He flops down on the nearer of the two beds. “Do what you must.”
“Thank you for being so kind.”
Julien’s eye twitches.

Summary
Julian, it's a hungry world. It's gonna eat you alive, son, yeah
Oh Julian, when their fangs sink in, I'll stitch you but then I gotta throw you back in
You just try and sleep, even though you're alone
You just close your eyes, boy, you dream of home"Maybe I'm not me at all."
"That's the first thing you've said to make me believe you are what you say you are," he admitted, knowing his voice was still harsh as he turned, stopping in front of the trembling young man.
Occtis laughed despite his misery, or maybe because of it. "You are a complicated man, Sir Julien Davinos."

Summary
“Dude, you’re not supposed to touch my cape. That is not allowed. It is A Rule. And look at you, look at what you are doing! Do you know what you’re doing Karkat?” A pause, for dramatic effect. “You are touching my cape. You are not just touching it, you are wrapped up in it! It’s a cape, not a blanket!”
Karkat does not seem moved by this logic. Well, actually, he is moving. No, wait, he was just getting a hand free of the blanket so he could flip you off. “I’m not fucking giving it back, Dave. It’s mine now, at least until this meteor warms the hell up already.”

Summary
“You’ve always been so impatient. Give yourself some time.”
“It’s been weeks,” it comes out sounding more desperate than he meant, and he hates it.
Azula, in a rare show of mercy, doesn’t comment on it. “Then give it more time, stupid. You’ll readjust. What else can you do?”
(Zuko avoids his sister on the ride home from Ba Sing Se. It's harder to avoid her once they get there.)

Summary
The darkness leading down to the dungeons feels like it wants to swallow Tim, the absence of light a vacuum.
He navigates the descent by touch.
His bare feet trace the edge of each stone step before he takes it, trying to feel past the frozen numbness that’s thoroughly claimed his toes and is making a run for his ankles. He keeps his left hand on the wall to steady himself.
His other hand clutches the handle of his basket like his life depends on it.
Or. Not his life.

Summary
Kaz is prepared to bribe the owners of the other gambling halls not to admit him—he’s prepared to send some of the younger Dregs to beat Jesper to a mild pulp every time he tries to enter the Barrel, if necessary—but he hopes it won’t come to that. If you could beat an addiction out of someone, Jesper would have been cured years ago.
“What, then? Spit it out.”
The other man pauses at the window, staring out at the rain, and swallows before finally saying, “Wylan asked me to marry him.”

Summary
Dick rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly. “I’m mostly used to sparring with my little brothers, it’s kind of just habit, and I was having fun. I didn’t want the match to be over too quick.”
“Too quick?” Derek asked, eyebrows raised. “I’m twice your size, kid.”
Dick shrugged. “So’s Bruce and we’re pretty much tied at this point, or at least according to the score board the kids started to keep for Saturday spars.”
“Saturday spars?” Derek repeated, following him towards the locker room.
Dick flashed him a smile. “What? Don’t have any weird family traditions?”
“Not ones that include hitting each other,” Derek said
OR The BAU gets a probationary profiler who is a little more than he appears at first glance. Or second. Or third. Just how many secrets can Dick Grayson be hiding from a team full of profilers?

“Oh, ah. Hallo.”
Essek startles so badly he drops his levitation. He whips around, a hand thrown reflexively out to defend himself, a spell ready on his lips. He has to blink. And blink again. But no, he is not imagining this. Here is Caleb Widogast in the flesh, standing in Jester and Fjord's sitting room.
“Hello,” Essek manages, his throat very dry.
[Or: Four times Dynasty fugitive Essek Thelyss sought refuge with Jester Lavorre, and one time he found Caleb Widogast instead.]

Summary
Alucard stares down at the child in his arms in rapt silence, eyes taking in every tiny feature, every little movement, every breath. She’s drowsy; half asleep and blinking slowly in the low early-morning light. She looks so much like her mother. Perfect in every conceivable way.
“Well, what do you reckon, Belmont?” he says, after a long moment.
“What do I reckon about what?”
“The baby. Yours, or mine?”Bookmarked by a_olive_tree
