    Summary

    "Stiles?" he asks, turning on the light, and Stiles looks at him- eyes wide, a flicker of utter devotion and heartbreaking joy passing his features before his whole face crumples and-

    "Daddy?"

    John has never seen his son like this, or maybe he has, when Claudia died, but it's different somehow, more, and terrifying because he has no idea why. He's closed half the distance between them before he even has time to think it through, but it doesn't matter because Stiles has bridged the rest and flung himself into John's arms.

    He falls apart like that, holding onto John so tightly that it's hard to breathe, but he can't care about that right now because his son is sobbing and chanting "Daddy," desperately into his shoulder.

    [Or, the one where Stiles goes back in time to save the world, and surprisingly, survives to tell the tale.]

    Summary

    “Look, the only way I know how to survive is to shove it in people’s faces as hard as I can. You want to be my date, you’re going to have to let me put you on display. You cool with that?”

    Barry nodded slowly, considering. “Yeah. I can be cool with that.”

    “Really? You’re cool with letting me kiss you? Letting me touch you, in public? Helping me put on a bit of a show for Central City’s criminal elite?”

    Barry swallowed hard, but didn’t look away. “Is that really how you treat guys you date?”

    Len allowed a bit of a smirk to creep back to his face. “No, actually. But these people don’t know that. Like I said, I have a reputation to uphold.”

    ~*~

    To track down a ring of smugglers moving goods into Central City, Barry convinces Captain Cold to bring him as his date to Frank Santini's annual end-of-summer party. Len is willing enough, especially since it means spending the evening with Barry Allen under his arm. Neither of them is expecting feelings to enter the equation.

    Summary

    Eleven year old Harry didn't know how he knew--he didn't even know what it was he knew--but as he stood in Olivander's shop with Hagrid, he vowed that he would never tell a soul about the two words written on his wrist.

    Avada Kedavra.

    It tells him to grab an umbrella and that afternoon it rains unexpectedly. It tells him to bring cash and it turns out the card reader is out of order.
    His quirk tells him to rob a bank.
    Well, why not?
