Summary
Carter doesn't quite know what compels him to do what he does. Perhaps it's some misguided sense of heroism, his lifelong inability to just let things be when there's something- anything- he can do about it. Perhaps it's reckless stupidity brought on by yet another shift of doing anything but saving lives.
Whatever it is, he leans into it fully, and slips into the freezing depths.
OR
The one where Carter almost drowns.

Summary
Glass falls around him like a rainstorm, and for a moment, John Carter has to wonder if he was struck by lightning. It’s would certainly make sense for how much his entire, well, everything hurt. The back of his head was wet. It could have been rain, but when John moves his head, he notices a distinct sticky quality to the liquid his head is laying in.
A patient throws Carter through a window.

Summary
Finn could live with the fact that he’s dating the most charming, overachieving asshole on this rock. And he knows they’re all living on borrowed time. The Resistance at least holds the promise of a better future, of hope. And it holds Poe Dameron, which for Finn is pretty nearly the same. But even in the midst of this thing with Poe — discovering what makes him laugh and what makes his voice drop low and rough, learning how to be himself and part of another person at the same time — the headaches test his patience.
Finn and Poe guide each other through the war, and what comes after.

Summary
At last, Alfred looks at him with something akin to mercy. “Frankly, I think Master Rayner is a fine young man, and I’m sure you will think so, too, once you meet him, Master Bruce. I fail to see the problem.”
Bruce can’t believe Alfred is making him say that, but, through the gritted teeth, he speaks, “You know who he is… associated with.”
When it becomes clear he isn’t going to elaborate, Alfred raises his eyebrows again. “Ah, you mean Hal Jordan, sir?”
Bruce suppresses a shudder that goes through him. “Don’t mention his name out loud, Alfred. It was bad enough I saw him today and found out from him.”
...
In which one Bruce may be just a little biased when it comes to his children dating people associated with his not-friends. (It's not a good kind of a bias.)

Summary
If Buck draws a line from the day of that earthquake until today, he’s pretty sure it would be as red as the string of fate and as strong as spidersilk. When he was living in Eddie’s house, Buck realised just how caught up in Eddie’s web he was and ran away, desperate to free Eddie from the depth of his emotions. Now, even though he’s moved out, a single smile from his best friend reels him back in, and he finds himself wishing for more time in Eddie’s orbit.
So when the ceiling collapses in on them, trapping him and Eddie inside the parking lot, there might be a tiny, microscopic chance that it’s Buck’s fault for jinxing them.
Or, a month after Buck moves out from Eddie's house, Buck and Eddie get trapped underground together during an earthquake and have a conversation that's long overdue.
