Summary
“We started out, cat and mouse - I was always on his tail, trying to catch him. Then we were just a couple of guys trying to make our unconventional partnership work. Somewhere along the way, our partnership turned into a friendship, and uh, we got to where we are now.” He ignored the way his lip began to tremble, and voice began to shake. “Family. Somehow he charmed my wife and wiggled his way into the Burke’s growing family. He had a knack for doing that: fitting in places. Whether that be ventilation systems, underground tunnels- if he wanted to be there, he’d find a way. I could always catch him. He could never get away for too long. But now he’s run so far that even I can’t catch him anymore."
Or, how Peter grieves Neal's death.

Summary
"He gasped as the pain in his body continued to grow, and he wondered if being dead would hurt as much as it did now. Would the flames of hell engulf him into an eternity of torture? Or were the very real flames around him proving that he was already there? He racked his mind to find the cause of his unending anguish. Had he sinned so bad that the gods decided this was his way to die? Had he sinned so horribly that there was no way for him to repent? Was there no atonement left for him?"

Or: Jon saves a child from a burning building, but at what cost?

Summary
"How long have you been going through this, Jonathan?"
“A few months..” Jon began, trailing off.
Mentally coaching himself to stay calm, Clark could only be grateful he hadn’t been doing this to himself for too long.
“..after we moved, I guess.”
Oh.
Clark did the math in his head.
Something inside him broke.
The blonde shrugged - almost casually.
As if Clark’s whole world hadn’t crumbled before him.
“You- you’ve been doing this for two years?” He made eye contact with his son, his voice barely a whisper. Was he such a horrible father that he didn’t notice his own child was in so much pain that he felt like hurting himself?

Summary
The media is a cruel, fickle thing, and one’s image can easily be swayed by what’s pasted onto a little screen if a publisher so desires.
However, in his case, Johnny Storm couldn’t have had a better media personality! Always the shining star amongst Earth’s heroes, The Fantastic Four, with his extroverted and inviting personality as he saved the day, nothing else could be better!
He may be flirty with the ladies, but he gets the job done with a smile and a wonderful life. What’s there to struggle about when you’re the best?
Or: Johnny Storm is reduced to a flirty playboy with a fiery and exuberant personality according to the media, and to keep up appearances, he plays into it until he can’t differentiate his public and private life anymore. It gets worse now that his family is slowly seeing him as the same and it only causes problems from there.
