Summary
Mallory Stone is the first politician that Bruce Wayne knows is honest. It's a shame that she hates his guts.
ﮩـﮩﮩ٨ـ🫀ﮩ٨ـﮩﮩ٨ـ
Bruce leaned forward, swearing to himself that he did it because he was going to wake her up, but he took a moment to study her face. In her sleep, she gave no scowls or angry diatribes, and yet she did not look peaceful. No, he decided. She did not look peaceful sleeping, but she looked dignified, as though she was about to rise from some lake in England and give a peasant boy a sword.
He placed a hand on her shoulder, and the vision melted. Mallory woke with a start, jumping onto her feet and transforming into the nearest version of a snarling animal that a human could be.
“Bruce Wayne.”
She said it like a curse word, and Bruce should know because he watched every interview that she had on television. Jason had put him up to it.
Bruce tried on a smile— a practiced one, the same smile that he used when negotiating a deal with a bull-headed investor. He knew that it was a losing battle the moment her eyes narrowed.
“Fuck off.”
Alright. Time to switch tactics.

Summary
"I don't know, dude. Don't wanna fuck up my arms," Thanos complains. The belt squeezing his bicep is almost suffocating, and the sight of syringe in Nam-gyu's hand creeps him out.
"Come on, what do you have to lose?" Nam-gyu taps on Thanos' elbow and smiles. The grimace is making his blood run cold.
The worst part is that Nam-gyu's right.

Summary
There was a certain… Indifference that Peter Parker carried with him. Every moment of his life–every heartbreak, kiss, death, celebration–washed over Peter without garnering much of a reaction. There was an emptiness in his sad eyes. An indifference.
It wasn’t that Peter Parker didn’t or couldn’t love, or that he couldn’t feel. He could. He did! He felt everything. There was a barrier: a waterfall that lay between Peter Parker and Peter Parker’s feelings. Peter Parker sat behind the waterfall, let the stream of his emotions wash over the rocks in front of him. He saw them. He acknowledged them. He didn’t dare dive in. -

Summary
This Sunday, Rosie awoke to a knock on her door. She threw a quick coverup over her night clothes and felt her teeth sharpen as she approached the door. It was a rude start to her day, but at least she'd have someone for breakfast after dealing with the disturbance.
She opened the door, and plans for black pudding with her tea fizzled out, replaced by a spike of fear her surprise couldn't quite trump.
"Hello!" The tall man smiled, eyes glowing red. Rosie looked him in the eye because it was the polite thing to do, even though her nose tried to pull her gaze to the smell of a fresh kill. "Alastor! Pleasure to be meeting you Miss Rosie, quite a pleasure, I've heard only good things!" The Radio Demon introduced, taking her hand in his own blood covered one and giving it a firm shake.
"Just Rosie is fine, dear." She replied, trying to determine whether this was going to be her final conversation. She hadn't thought herself powerful enough to draw the attention of the no-longer-aspiring overlord, and in the months since his rise he's yet to seem to care for anything besides power, so she really didn't know what could bring him here.

Summary
There's something undeniably cozy about spending the evening huddled with all the people she's come to know through being a Phantom Thief. At first, the cold outside will have everyone with a cup of coffee, but eventually, with so many people, it becomes much too warm inside to want another. Every year, despite their numbers, or the volume of conversation, it never feels claustrophobic. Sometimes it's a little overwhelming, but more akin to holding your hand next to an open flame : a warmth that doesn't quite burn.
Today is just like every year. Makoto mingles, she enjoys the atmosphere and makes idle conversation. However, every now and then, despite her best efforts to enjoy the moment, she finds her eyes wandering back to Akechi.

Summary
But now she’s pulling away from him. It makes his chest tight with anxiety. He doesn’t like—being ignored. He doesn’t like being forgotten.
“Did I do something wrong?” he asks Gran, and Gran frowns.
“No, kid, it isn’t you,” he says, and then he doesn’t say anything else.
Toshinori can't accept that, so he does the only thing he can think of. He tries to be better.

Summary
Let her hear, if she was still in the sitting room. Let her know what she’d done with her voice alone.
The air was thick with steam and static and shame.
But he didn’t stop.
His mind conjured her again—how she’d looked tonight with that stubborn tilt to her chin, daring him to fight back. She wanted heat. She’d get it.
Lucius moved faster now. His free hand braced against the counter, his hips rolling just slightly into each stroke. His skin was flushed, damp. He didn’t try to stay silent. Let the acoustics carry it. Let the house feel it.
He thought he heard something outside the door—a gasp. Light. Quick.
—
After a failed sting operation, Lucius is placed into protective custody under the supervision of a vetted Ministry official. Hermione draws the short straw.

Summary
Sugishita's gaze, which had been observing, suddenly snagged. He found himself utterly, unexpectedly lost in Sakura's eyes. For a fleeting moment, they weren't just angry, defiant eyes, but a swirling vortex of blues, greys, and blacks, reflecting the entire storm-drenched world outside. The fierce, fragile beauty of the hydrangeas, magnified by the rain, seemed to be contained within those unusual irises. It was a strange, almost mesmerizing sight that held him captive, a moment of profound, unbidden recognition that transcended their usual bristly interactions.

Summary
“I have an offer for you,” Giorno starts, in his usual, enrapturing, determined voice, “Though you may refuse, if you’d so prefer.”
Mista raises an eyebrow. A wet Pistol–No.5, he thinks?–hides in his hat, wailing about how it doesn’t wanna get in trouble and how the birds can have their spot back. He absently pats it. “What’s up?”
“I would like to drink your blood.” Giorno says simply.
giorno wants a sip from mista. mista is curious about what he tastes like, so why say no?
