    Summary

    Robert Robertson is not a lonely man.
    Robert Robertson is not a man who needs to rely on other people.
    Robert Robertson is loved by his dog, and that's enough. It has been enough for a long time now.
    Yes. Yes, it's enough, Robert Robertson is convinced of this, despite the times when it doesn't much feel like it is.


    Robert stared at the screen, the remote laying upside-down and forgotten at his feet. He was dreaming, he knew he was dreaming. He could see his reflection in the dark areas of the newscast's image, younger by fifteen years, no eyebags in sight; but his expression was slack with horror. The feelings of disbelief and despair were still just as vivid, just as cutting, jostling and raking against his ribcage.
    Not again.

    A collection of drabbles—some interconnected, others standalone.

    Additional characters, pairings, and tags will be included as needed.

    Each chapter will have its own content warnings in the author's notes. I might yap a little in there, too.

    Below, the latest five drabbles.


    17. Kyle burns your pie
    18. Simon paints
    19. Simon makes you cum
    20. Hammer on hot iron, you mould me
    21. Simon scares you

    Summary

    Spinner is often up at night, which never proved much of a problem until he joined the League of Villains, where he spends all day, every day, with the same group of sleeping people. Or attempting to be sleeping people.

    Spinner is also someone who has very loud thoughts, one's he physically says out loud.

    And this time, his intrusive thought got heard. And responded to. And comforted, slightly.

    "Do you ever wonder if you made yourself so palatable, you're boring?"

    Summary

    Dick remembers a similar time, a little Robin in green pixie shorts, a head full of determination and dead circus patents, captured by a clown with a face-splitting grin.

    He deserves to rot there in his cage, but he was saved by the least expected person Dick could think of.

    Batman was supposed to always be there for his Robins, always there to save them. Batman's arrival, he would understand.

    But not him.

    Summary

    Outside his window, the city hummed with the quiet energy of a world where heroes and villains played their eternal game of cat and mouse, each side believing they understood the rules while missing the larger patterns that connected their battles into something vast and complex and beautiful.

    Somewhere in that complexity, Izuku was beginning to suspect, lay the answer to questions no one else was asking. But, then again, in the morning, his real work would begin. Tonight, all he did was close the notebook and go to sleep. A researcher needs it, after all.

    Or: how a teenager with notebooks full of ignored insights accidentally revolutionized hero work by asking the questions no one else wanted to hear, while accidentally acquiring a collection of professionals who decided he was worth listening to.

    (Sometimes, the most important battles aren't fought with quirks.)

    Summary

    Every quirk has drawbacks; Bakugou’s palms are rough with callouses, Kirishima has a scar running through his eyebrow and Kaminari sometimes goes completely braindead. It’s a fact of life as simple as 2+2=4

    Sero’s quirk leaves his joints aching, his skin peeling and sore. It isn’t pretty or admirable. It's a fragment of himself he actively dislikes, others disagree

    Summary

    His old neighbors in Morepesok were confused when they learned about his vision; ‘But he was always such a nice boy, wouldn’t he make for a good healer?’. His parents had asked the same thing at first, too. They didn’t understand that he couldn’t– the Abyss didn’t do healing. Any attempt would be futile, and at the end of the day not especially useful; after all, nothing could truly die in the Abyss, only be corrupted to the point of being unrecognizable.

    Of course, outside of the Abyss he’d had to figure out how to mend his wounds, but his vision wasn’t much help. No matter how injured he was, no matter how much it would be really nice to be able to heal himself, it never flickered to life when he needed it.

    Or:
    Childe gets hurt, and Zhongli learns about his past with the Abyss.

    Summary

    Dean is fine. The way he sees it, things are simple. He had a house and a family and food in his stomach, and now he doesn't. And yeah, that's a downer, but he's not going to let that stop him from being fine, because he's in control of the situation. He definitely doesn't need anyone to save him. And it's not like the weird guy with the nice butt from down the road is the knight-in-shining-armor type, anyway.

    Summary

    It feels, sometimes, like Jiang Cheng's waiting to have a bad day so he has an excuse.

    It’s a Tuesday and Jiang Cheng finds himself huddled under the portico in front of Nie Mingjue’s impressive double-doors, wondering what the fuck he’s doing with his life. He’s drenched to the bone, all of his formal clothes sticking to all of his skin, waiting for someone to answer the door before he freezes to death. 

    Or maybe he’ll just freeze to death! Maybe that’s the option at play here. Considering how the rest of his night is going, he doesn’t think it’d actually be all that surprising.

    -or-
