Summary
Floyd’s expression falters at the clear attempt of deflection. “Wh- Branch, you just went on an insane rescue mission! You’re the one who helped save all of us, you should be resting just as much as me.” He argues.
Resting does sound nice, it’s been awhile since he’s had a full night's sleep. Branch needs to ignore the way his joints ache, struggling to hold the not so heavy-coffee cup in his paws. Hopefully he still has some ginger left in his cabinet.
“Look Floyd, this isn’t the first insane rescue mission I’ve gone on,” he turns around to rummage through his medicine cabinet, anything to avoid eye contact, “I appreciate your concern but I’ll be fine in a couple days.”
or: Branch's paranoia kicks itself into high-gear again after returning home from Floyd and the rest of his brothers capture. It's fine though, it's not the first time he's dealt with it.

Summary
Oscar Piastri didn’t mean to start a school-wide scandal.
But when his “fictional” love essay goes viral across campus and the entire media, everyone thinks it’s real. Which is awkward, considering the boyfriend in question doesn’t exist. Unfortunately for Oscar, being a Piastri means his private life isn’t personal—it’s business. His powerful, reputation-obsessed parents now expect to meet this perfect mystery boyfriend. And whoever Oscar dates? They better be someone who brings value to the family name.
Enter: Lando Norris. Model. Golden Boy. Media darling.
And currently, the center of a PR disaster thanks to a false dating rumor linking him to a problematic, tabloid-loving model and socialite.George, their mutual friend, sees potential when others see disaster. So he sets them up.
Oscar walks in with a plan; Lando walks in with an open mind and a quietly hopeful heart.
What begins as a mutually beneficial arrangement turns into something much messier, because falling for your fake boyfriend wasn’t part of the deal. And Oscar is very good at pretending.
Until he’s not.

Shards of Darkness by jumbled_messy_confused

Summary
Step into Shards of Darkness, a companion piece to Fragments of Light.
Not stories—wreckage. Splinters.
Debris, jagged and unfinished, echoes of prompts I may or may not return to one day.The premise remains the same:
Alina has only recently arrived at the Little Palace.
Kirigan is a leader, not a villain. Complex. Enigmatic. Unyielding.
Burdened.These are fragments of him. Of her. Of them.
There is far too much hurt/comfort, far too much breaking and not enough mending. Moments where the darkness wins ground, where strength falters, where all that remains is the struggle to endure.

Summary
Dick Grayson wasn’t meant to be the last one left. He wasn’t meant to stand in the ashes of a world that had been picked clean, with nothing but ghosts and regrets to keep him company. But he fought until there was nothing left to fight for—until even Gotham’s ruins turned silent.
Then, when all hope was gone, a desperate sorcerer offered him the impossible: a second chance. A way back. A chance to rewrite the past before The Light won, before his family fell, before his world crumbled to dust.
Now, he wakes up in his thirteen-year-old body, the weight of an entire lost future pressing down on his shoulders. The halls of Mount Justice are untouched, filled with laughter and life—but all he can see are the names that will one day be carved into headstones. Every choice is a loaded gun. Every secret is a ticking clock. And the people he loves most? They have no idea what’s coming for them.
He won’t let it happen again.
No matter what it takes.
