Summary
Logan looks into his eyes- the effect is so much deeper with him than with anyone else; He can see Scott’s eyes, despite the ruby quartz, which makes it all the more intimate- and quickly looks back down at his claws. He retracts them. “People do crazy things for love.”
Right. Because Logan is in love with Scott’s wife.
It feels so natural for Scott- to exist, just the three of them- that he tends to forget his happiness brings Logan pain.
He picks up Logan’s hand and caresses the space between his knuckles. There’s still a bit of dried blood, creating an outline of his claws, and Scott wipes it away.
“Sometimes I worry that because your skin heals so fast, you try to make everything else fix itself on that timeline too... Just because the scar is gone doesn’t mean the pain wasn’t real.”

Summary
Nico felt like Icarus. Fly too close to the sun, and your wings will melt. Fly too close to the sea, your wings will grow heavy.
Nico had already flown too close to the sea. He had allowed his infatuation with Percy to rule his life, his decisions, for far to many years. His wings had grown heavy, and he’d drowned.
Icarus had made a mistake. He strayed too far, entranced by the kindness of the light. The dark wouldn’t be as welcoming, ushering you in with no hesitancy and crossed arms. That didn’t work out so well for Icarus. So, Nico would allow this filter, this light, to cover him, shroud him in kindness, and possibility, and warmth. But he would not cross further. He would not succumb to the light only to fall forever into darkness. He would do what Icarus couldn’t. Nico di Angelo would not fly too close to the sun.

Summary
“Please, Em,” Mary says, seeming to realize, for the first time, that this is not just an argument. That this is a decision. That this is a choice. That they are not making the same one.
“I can’t stand by and… and watch. I won’t. I’m going to fight. We can make a difference- We can save some kid from loosing everything they’ve ever loved, like we did. The war’s not over yet, Mary.”
“Our war has been over for years. We’ve lost, Em, can’t you see that?” She walks towards her, frantically grabbing Emmeline’s forearms. “It’s not our turn anymore. We’ve let Dumbledore use us long enough.”
or,
Mary and Emmeline learn and unlearn comfort and grief after the first Wizarding War.

Summary
Sirius grins up at him, starlight encompassed, and scoots closer, nudging Remus’ chin with his nose until there’s enough space to rest his head against his neck.
Remus’ head is pounding, and his mouth is dry, but Sirius is so close his breath warms Remus’ neck, so he makes a quick decision that water is not worth moving away from this.

Summary
His life is in tattered pieces, his sister is dead, his soul is extinguished, and he is officially eleven.
In truth, he doesn’t even know why he’s crying. He made his peace with his situation, the new life he is leading, long ago. Maybe it is the fact that it’s his first birthday without his sister. Maybe it’s the fact that it’s been a full month and he is no closer to Bianca than he was when Percy handed him that stupid figurine. Maybe it’s just because he’s barely eleven, and he’s already had to fight so much. He’s tired. He wants a home, and a bed, and sister to go back to. He wants someone to miss him, while he lives like this. To know it’s worth it because in the end there will be someone there for him, to hug him and tell him it’s going to be okay.
He wants Bianca back.
He cries himself to sleep, tucked up and small as his body convulses but he keeps quiet, shivering in the cold and wishing he had some sort of answer.
He is only eleven.
Can be read on its own.Series

Merlin’s days and evenings blur together into one long, overheated, mess. He is tired.
Which is why it is perfectly understandable that he got confused.

Summary
Two years after the war, and Harry’s content with his life. OK, so it’s a little annoying that he keeps winning Witch Weekly’s Most Eligible Bachelor award, and he’s really not looking forward to the unveiling of an enormous gold statue of himself, but he loves his friends, and he loves being an Auror. And if he yearns for something more, something he can barely bring himself to think about, well, he’ll probably get over it. No one’s happy all the time, are they?
But then everything changes, and Harry’s thrown into a new and dazzling world he’s not sure he can actually escape from. And as time goes on, he starts to wonder: does he actually want to?
AKA the one where Draco is a - sort of - Muggle pop star (it's complicated)

Summary
Wally gets a babysitting gig from an old friend.
-
Dick crouches to be at Damian’s eye level, and his voice suddenly takes on a brisk tone, one Wally associates so strongly with being assigned patrol routes that he twitches. “Wally, this is Damian, Damian, this is Wally. Wally is one of my very best friends. He is very important to me. You aren't going to stab him. This isn’t a debate,” Dick says, when Damian raises an eyebrow, “Or a rule. You can’t physically do it. He is much faster than you.”
“I know what his powers are,” Damian says, sounding annoyed, and also like he considers them to be a fun challenge.
“I would like it to be a rule,” Wally volunteers.

"Who’s the last person who saw him?" Jason asks Tim. "Did you talk to D- the kid? Nightwing never does anything without talking to him, what’d he say?”
There’s a sudden, nervous silence.
“Hey,” Jason says, dangerously, “Where is the kid?”
“Hm,” Tim says. “He’s- in school -,”
“On a Saturday? In July?” Tim makes a sound like a chipmunk in a trash compactor. “Tim, did you fuckin’ forget about the baby? Do not hang up on me-”
“Don’t real name me at work!” Tim squawks, panicked, and hangs up.Series

Summary
"Will," Henry sighs, "I helped destroy the neural lattice of an entire dimension. I’m not solving for X."
"Wow. So you can annihilate timelines, but Algebra II’s where you draw the line?"
"Frankly, it’s beneath me."
"Yeah? You say that, but I bet you don’t even know what a logarithm is."
Henry’s quiet for a beat. And then—
"…What is a logarithm?"Will laughs under his breath before he can stop it. The kid next to him gives him a weird look. Will pretends to cough and returns to staring at the graph paper like it personally offended him.

Summary
Mike's life is split in three categories; the life he should have, the life he wants to have, and the life he has to have. Currently, he's living in limbo between all three; he'll never have that white-picket fence and suburban wife, not when the only girl he could try to love has left him, and while he's finding it harder to live the life he has to have— the life where he hides himself so deep, not even the people he loves know who he is— he'll never get the life he wants, either.
Limbo sucks, to put it simply. He's so close to what he wants (which is Will, no matter how hard he tries to shove it down) but he just can't push past that barrier and talk to Will, not when everything he does always feels wrong.
But, maybe, Mike might come to learn that what he wants isn’t so bad, after all.
(Or; Mike's struggle with his internalized homophobia— among other things, including the concept of free will, Robin Buckley's mildly terrifying presence, and wanting things Mike's sure he doesn't deserve— structured around the five stages of grief. You can mourn a life you'll never live, and you can mourn someone you haven't actually lost.)
