Summary
Wadanohara never felt anything halfway, and her heart should have been on her sleeve. But when they first met, Ver still saw hidden depths within her. And when Ver spoke with her, it was the only time she felt she would allow herself to plunge below the waters and let the current take her where it may.

Summary
he always wanted to get lost in it. that deep dark sea of believing in something more. he wanted to feel the surge of the waters accepting him, wanted to understand what was so addictive about it. shane never realized the price he’d have to pay to be pulled under the surface into the cold, unforgiving roaring swells of the ocean.
AN: so i promised some commenters on for you to be happy and loved that i would write some happy shyan after that heartbreak. This… this is not that. This may actually be worse. Don’t read if you don’t feel like crying.
Title from Keaton Henson's amazing song Alright. Go listen to it and cry if you want.

Summary
His dreams are always strange, strange things.
They speak of the twisted, ocean-filled past that was, and of the star-lit path of the future that will be, and of the gentle in-between of the present that is. They tell him who is is, who he was, who he may be. Ten years is not enough to remove the terror of a hostage, or of a confused child and his newfound, terrifying power, but it is enough to dull the pain.
And when the skies are blotted out with storms, Izuku will rise from the depths and take his place in the sea, as he is meant to be.

Summary
Hotch said, “You’re keeping score, just like Owen.”
If Spencer had been keeping score, the world was winning. The rolled eyes, the disinterested gazes, the way they spoke to him only when they wanted something. Only when they wanted notebooks read at an inhuman rate or statistics they could use for the profile, for a bet, for the delight of having them at all. If Reid was keeping score, he had the right to do so if only to prove to himself that he deserved to feel a little hurt. He deserved to step in front of a bullet to save a kid that felt the same way he did.

Summary
Loki was not a villian, they had tried to be but it did not work out - a passing fad. At least they weren't, not this version. They were no longer at odds with themself, not with their nature - the ever changing ways of the sea. And no longer did they struggle against what they could not control. That being life; the sky, and the earth.
Or, Loki's life in moments with the sky, Thor, and the earth, Mobius.

Summary
Oikawa at the water. Again and again.
On the edge of California, he says, “I’ve never been to a beach facing west before. It's weird, looking in this direction. It’s just what I already know.”
“A lot’s changed there,” Iwaizumi replies vaguely, before something clicks. The moment it does is visible on his face. “Ah. I still thought you were planning to come back to Japan."
