Summary
This is the sequel to Spring In Paris.
One sleepless night, Chris finally chose that diary to pour his soul onto the lined pages. He wrote on the go, without even stopping for erasing or changing words, just one long, uninterrupted stream of consciousness. As the sentences were forming, so were heavy, big tears in his eyes. And when they finally fell, they formed a decoration on the paper, marks of pain that mixed with the ink to give even more importance to what he was writing, to underline that he was trying to save not only a memory, but himself and probably his future. That first draft was finished as the sun was timidly rising up in the sky, when Chris literally threw the pen away and started sobbing all the tears he was keeping inside, as if his whole soul was vomiting pain and hurt.

Summary
“You should ask Superman out,” he says as if it were the most obvious thing in the world, despite the scowl still on his face. “Why haven’t you done it yet, Father?”
It only takes Bruce a moment to find his voice again, and then he sighs as well, rubbing his forehead with his fingers. “Clark and I are just friends, Damian.”
“Why?” Damian asks suspiciously, eyeing him like Bruce is trying to hide something. “You don’t find him attractive enough? Strong enough? Intelligent enough? The only flaws I can think of are his insufferable optimism and the way he wears that godforsaken suit, and neither of those is enough of an excuse, Father, really. You have no other viable reason for not having asked him out, correct?”
(Or, Bruce had long accepted that his feelings for Clark would remain forever platonic. But sometimes, all it takes is a small push to change everything.
And in this case, emphasis on small.) -

Summary
What if she went after Lord Debling? It would be bold, to be sure, and would perhaps signal more desperation than she would like, but at this point what did she have to lose? She imagined the worst case is that she would stumble upon Lord Debling and Penelope together, embracing as two newly engaged people were wont to do. Perhaps they would laugh at her, pity her, for scrambling after him like a dog begging for scraps. But even desperation can peak and tumble into something worth risking.
___
Or, after Lord Debling learns of Penelope's feelings for Colin, Cressida knows she has one chance left

Set in 2009, this is a pre-series AU where Matt Murdock isn’t just blind—he’s deaf, too. During the summer after his second year at Columbia Law, Matt lands a prestigious clerkship at the Southern District of New York. He’s got the tie, the migraine, and the sensory overload to prove it. Navigating the courthouse is one thing—navigating his own body is another. Stick thought he was too compromised to train. Foggy thinks he’s doing just fine.

A peaceful weekend getaway and help from Jill leads Leon to some much-needed introspection.
X
“It’s weird, right?” Jill finally said, taking a sip of her beer.
“What is?”
“Them,” she said, a hint of longing in her gaze as she studied Chris flipping another burger. He didn’t understand the longing at first. There weren’t any secrets here; the bedroom arrangements gave anything away, but when he glanced back over at Claire, he understood.

Summary
They would not love him if they knew what he was, what he has always been. They would not love him if they understood him.
The dampness of his hair, and the chill that the rain sends through him, is a reminder—the day that he and Zam talked about home—the cold of the ice castle on his skin; the shared itch for something more; the way Ros and Aimsey looked at them when they mentioned the killing, and the violence, and the—
They would not love him if they understood him.
The orbital strike is to get rid of the corruption. Nothing else. If he believes it, then it's true.

Summary
She was trying valiantly to adjust to the world around her, but it was harder than she thought it would be. Being abruptly yanked out of chemical subjugation had been disorienting at best and dehumanizing at worst, as she tried and failed to learn how to be a person again.
At least before the Blip, she’d had Natalia to guide her. Now, Yelena had no one.
…Or so she thought.

Summary
“How did this… happen?” Aegis asked, waving at the glass. Frytz imagined the gesture encompassing the entire apartment, the badge, the glasses of scotch still left on the living room table, the sharp absence of the hurricane that had swept through his home. At Frytz, deeply unhappy, misery made worse for having become aware of it.
The answer was the same as it always was. “Faze,” he said shortly.
or - Frytz returns to his apartment three days after his argument with Faze. In the mess of shattered glass, spilled whiskey, and remembered cruelty, he manages to find something else: a way forward.

Summary
Years after the war, Ty Lee travels to a quiet Fire Nation village to help teach healing techniques. She expects peace. Closure, maybe. What she doesn’t expect is to find Azula—scarred, half-alive, and hiding under an alias no one questions.
What begins as a chance encounter unravels everything they left behind: memory, betrayal, and something like love that never had the chance to survive the flames.
A slow, aching redemption arc told in fragments of heat, silence, and second chances.
