Summary
“If we don't change, we don't grow. If we don't grow, we aren't really living.”
--Gail SheehyIt seemed to Sollux that his brother Mituna was the best--he was popular, he was smart, he was athletic, he was attractive, and yet that all changed after a fateful accident which resulted in Mituna permanently damaging his brain, and issues that would stay with him for the rest of his life--and, by extension, Sollux's life too.
That was three years ago. Today, Sollux is fighting to keep his disabled brother out of trouble but at the same time out of his sight, to keep his friends from breaking into pieces, and to keep his family and his family's bee farm from failing--all while trying to navigate through the hellish high waters of high school, puberty, and young love, just as any other teenager.
*I haven't tagged certain ships or warnings due to spoilers for the fic. I'll post warnings in the author's notes if they apply to that chapter. *

Summary
"To Sebastian, Grandda was warm and jovial, and sometimes he would lift Sebastian up to sit on his broad knee and he would listen to the stories that Ma or Da had no time for, asking questions and laughing his great, deep, rich laugh that shook through Sebastian's chest and left him feeling loved."
Sebastian had to pick up his talent for archery somewhere, right? This is headcanon about the relationship between Sebastian and his grandfather, and how that relationship shaped Sebastian's character. A few minor canon details have been shuffled around to suit the plot, but nothing material.

Summary
Hanzo would never believe that Hana Song could give such stellar advice or display such wisdom beyond her years. He never expected to make a home for himself among the members of Overwatch. To make peace and find hope in life once again.
But he did.
He also never expected to get lassoed onto a mission with the most reckless, infuriating, irritating man he'd ever meet.
A man in serious need of some guidance.
With Hanzo Shimada as his best bet for a clear head? Not being weird is a lot harder than it sounds.Author's note: This work is not officially completed and has a very round-about ending. I do not plan on ever writing a true final chapter but would still consider the work worth reading. Thanks!

Rated by Proper Dave to be his Fourth-Favourite-Sherlock-Fic of all time. A boring story, with certainly an element of comedy, about the stuff between the lines.

Bookmarker's Notes
Possibly one of the most important pieces of fanfiction ever written, and probably one that few will dare to experience. This story does more than entertain; it teaches. It shines a light on the things that really matter, both Within the Narrative and in life.

Bookmarker's Notes
This fic is all done in the style of epic verse! An inspiring, thought-provoking proposal to cherish both one's virtues and one's vices. Novel, indeed!
A refreshingly non-legalistic take on morality/religious virtues.

Summary
“hey, hyung,” jungkook says in a tiny voice into his ear, “how are you? it’s been a minute.”
“it has, hasn’t it.” it’s been two years, which is not hard to believe, because holy fuck— “you got, um. tall.”
that’s not really it. jungkook was already taller than yoongi two years ago. and it’s not a drastic change by any means. it’s just that everything about him is… more. yoongi refuses to think of other words for it.
(or: yoongi comes back to summer camp and finds himself in something of a crisis.)

Summary
For the prompt,
Daxamites can't go too long without physical contact. (Whether that's hugging/cuddling or full sex and hormonal release is up to you.) Mon-El worries that Kara and company and their prudish alien mores will not understand, so he refuses to tell anyone about it. After going without for too long, Mon-El collapses and comes on/confesses to the nearest person in the feverish aftermath.
When something goes wrong with Mon-El, the DEO puts him back in containment, in case he's a hazard. It's not helpful.
