Summary
“Okay,” Ben says, putting down his slice of pizza, “So do you believe in fate?”
She narrows her eyes at him, still chewing her fourth slice of pizza, and for a moment Ben wonders if he said the wrong thing.
“Fate as in soulmate type fate, or, like, everything-happens-for-a-reason fate?” asks Rey.
“Both, I guess.”
She sets her pizza down, pink lips twitching as she thinks. “Well, I guess it’s more of a question of free will, you know? Do we actually choose things in our life or is some cosmic plan in place just giving us the illusion of choice? And then when it comes to soulmates, why would the universe give us soulmates but never let us meet them? What’s the point of that then?”
“Maybe it was supposed to lead us to something else,” said Ben.
Rey scoffs and tucks a stray wave of hair behind her ear. “Do you really think the cosmos wanted you to be here, soulmate-less, jobless, living with your mom, and eating shitty pizza on the hood of an even shittier car?”
Yeah, Ben thinks, if it’s with you.
OR: a Soulmate AU where Ben and Rey aren’t soulmates but might as well be.

Summary
All it takes is one order of Butterscotch Blast for Hyunjin to etch his dream-lines into the open air. Of course, he barely scratches over the surface of how he’ll get to his promised land, but his smile floats to the dewy clouds hanging over them as he speaks of his heartiest desires.
Seungmin thinks it’s nice. Their town isn’t built for dreamers, but Hyunjin retains them nevertheless. A bakery overlooking a busy street, he tells him. A bakery renowned for its duplicity, in presenting every newcomer with a mouthful of delight and a sleeve-full of heart. Here, every shop is just a shop, nothing strives to invent new standards or strike hearts in starkly-driven voyages.
❁ alternatively: — Hwang Hyunjin, whose eyes are so struck with stars that his dreams outweigh his desire to conform, falls under Seungmin's attention when he learns of his plans to run away and start anew. Startled with the news, Seungmin, for as strongly as he dislikes Hyunjin's character, decides that he'll do whatever it takes to stop him.
Even if it means having to tag along. -

Summary
Alex keeps hold of the paper, trying to consider how to handle this situation. On any other occasion he would just get Madison and make him deal with it, but Madison is away schmoozing potential clients in Dubai for the next two weeks. He could call Gil, but Gil is frankly not their most responsible friend, and there’s decent chance he’ll simply leave Jefferson alone with a bottle of brandy and tell him to sleep it off. And it’s not like Alex has any interest in being involved enough in Jefferson’s social circle to know any of his other friends.
No. For some godforsaken reason, the cosmos has conspired to make this Alex’s problem.
Fucking great.
It's such a simple, convenient arrangement. Amazing sex on tap, with no obligation, no commitment, and no requirement to care. The fact that they hate each other is an irrelevant side note.
Until Jefferson gets sick.
Because of course, it's always simple until it's not.

“Jesus Christ, when was the last time you slept?” He demanded as he dragged Izuku by the arm.
Izuku’s face paled further. “Right,” he said, his face turning contemplative.
He did not answer Katsuki’s question. The blonde really did not expect him to either.
“It’s fine,” the blonde sighed. It was not as though he could blame Izuku for not sleeping. It was a miracle if Katsuki himself could get a full six hours of sleep uninterrupted since the war ended in the first place. “You should have told me if you were having trouble sleeping,” Katsuki mumbled.
Izuku took a deep breath. “I know, but…” he said mildly, trailing off, as he went deep in thought, contemplating his words. “...it’s just you’d think it would have gotten better by now, you know?” he said quietly.
Sleep never came easy to Izuku, Katsuki knew that better than anyone

Vash feels one word blooming underneath his sternum. He shoves it back into the earthen pit of his gut. If he were honest—well, that’s what tended to get him into trouble the most, wasn’t it? The honesty. The vulnerability.
Some things have to be learned, or, sharing a bed does not come naturally.

“All I wanted was this,” she spits, the anger she’d set aside slowly coming back to the surface like a disease with no remedy. Around her, the Hydro Dragon trembles. “Not a vision, not whatever kind of consolation prize you think this fragile, weak human should be granted—I just wanted—”
“I have been unable to cope with your sudden absence,” he says all in one breath, just before she can finish the sentence. “Forgive me, Furina.”
Furina reflects on the source of a certain new possession of hers.

Summary
Sitting still was the only thing that didn’t hurt to do on his ‘burn’ days. Wade would quietly leave the apartment so as not to bother Al, and go sit in the night air and allow his body to buzz and sting until he felt himself doze off. Then he makes his way back and sleeps on the couch in their living room. That routine worked out for a while, despite waking up briefly sore (which went away as soon as he moved around, and his healing factor took course). But then Logan moved in.
or
Wade has chronic pains, and Logan has emotional baggage. They talk it out. Make pasta not war.

“Good afternoon, Ms. Harkness. My name is Rio Vidal, and I’ll be your interpreter and liaison during your time with us.”
Agatha’s face twitched slightly.
“Just Agatha.”
“Of course, Agatha.” Rio tested the name in her mouth, felt the way it slipped through her teeth. “Will this be your first time with an interpreter?”
Agatha’s face immediately transformed into a predatory smirk. “Oh, that is bold. It certainly could be,” she drawled, her voice silky smooth.Or: Agatha feels like she's running out of time and ends up at a fertility clinic in Spain, where Rio is her interpreter

Mishima had a curse: Every time he died, time seemingly reversed, and without fail, he came back to life.
Though perhaps, when you meddle with the yakuza as often as he did, it might turn out to be more of a blessing than a curse.
