Summary
It should be enough now, to have a quirk. To have lightning crackling through his veins, a small amount enough to level a town. It should be enough.
It’s not.
OrAfter dealing with a lifetime of bigotry, it's hard not to internalise it. It all comes to head in Ethics class discussing quirkless discrimination.

A scapped but relevant scene from my story Sitting Patient in the shadow (till the blessed life shall come)
Luther hasn't his room in a month (how can he when he can only look at himself in disgust? If he can not bare to set eyes upon his own mutated figure, how could everyone else?), Vanya feels it her duty to change thatSeries

Summary
Instead of drifting apart when they leave, talking to each other less and less until they pretend the only thing that ties them is a childhood tattoo and not a childhood of individual and collective trauma from their family.
Instead, Vanya acts as a tie to the house, a warm human presence - Grace and Pogo are only so good. One being an android, another a genetically modified ape. (Luther follows to much is Reginald's footsteps to be called a warm presence).Vanya stays.
(Is it fair to say that she never left if she was never truly there to begin with. She is self aware enough to recognise that she isn’t wanted.
(It’s whispered with every step she takes. Every word said to her by Father, a thinly veiled insult telling her she’s useless, every slap and black eye that she doesn’t need to cover up because no one will ever see.)Series

Summary
There is no pure train station or Dumbledore waiting for him when the Boy Who Lived comes to die.
Instead there's blood on his hands and no stars in the sky and a cowled figure who speaks lies.- Language:

Summary
Harry James Potter knows a couple of things in life.
- It doesn't matter if there's any sort of God out there; they don't care.
- Never trust anyone who is overly interested in you, whether it be hate or love or excitement, they have an agender.
- Talking is a wasted effort.
- The Dursley's were never coming back.Abandoned at an orphanage at six years old. The strange sort of comradarie there is a comfort over the years. While they're there, they look out for each other, they won't go our of their way to do anything special. But if they have a chance at something better, they'll take it and won't look back.
This way of thinking makes him much more suited to the Slytherin house. (Morally grey Harry, sort of Mentor Snape)- Words:

Summary
Two years he's been alone. Just him, his mom, and his dog.
He didn't... He could have asked for a hug, he supposes, but there were always more pressing concerns. Food to find, water to haul, fires to watch. He went whole days without even seeing Krolia, and most of their conversations revolved around the practical.
(One part exploration of Keith & Krolia's missing years, one part healing after the fact featuring simultaneously touch-averse and touch-starved Keith.)

Summary
Keith has it made. He comes home from work every day to Lance’s beaming smile and gentle teasing about the grease on his clothes. He’s got everything he’s ever wanted. He’s happy. So fucking happy.
Except that things have been a little different, recently. For the past few weeks, he’s been coming home to his usual smile and kiss, but the idle chattering or excited rambles — Keith feels as if they’ve become a rarity. Their home used to be filled with the sound of Lance’s voice, silent only when he’s reading or focused intently on something, eyes narrowed and tongue peeking out of his mouth.
Lance still looks happy. He still curls up with Keith on the couch after dinner, socked feet in Keith’s lap and three million blankets over his shoulders. He still sends Keith a myriad of heart emojis on his lunch break. Their sex life has not suffered.
But the lectures. The constant infodumps of whatever passing thing has grabbed Lance’s attention. They’re gone. And Keith’s devastated about it.
He misses Lance’s voice.
---
OR: One day Lance, the motormouth, the loud boy, the one who's always got something to say, stops talking. And Keith starts to feel like he can't live without it.Bookmarked by ArcReactorsandDragons

Summary
The reason why the shack was still standing, was because the Nevada wilderness was bleak and empty.
Open and sprawling, miles and miles of sand and rock with barely any rain each year. Nevada encompassed two deserts, the Mojave stretched across as one of the largest in the continent.
It was unremarkable, nondescript, and every cliff looked like the one before it.
Maybe that’s why the Garrison never found the shack, or maybe they didn’t care to look for it.
(Maybe that’s why the Paladins hadn’t either.)He didn’t have anything to do most days, nowhere to go, nobody to fight.
He ran, he took his knife and strapped on his boots (They were wearing thin and busting at the seams, leaving blisters that bled and bled) and just...ran.
Until his muscles burned and the air seared his throat and the closest thing to an adrenaline rush burned in his blood.(And when he found a cliff just high enough, just dangerous enough...he’d dangle his legs over the edge and scream until the coyotes would howl back.)

Summary
But Shiro doesn’t bring the sun, because that’s Keith. Keith is the one who brings warmth, hidden in the gentleness of his eyes and the curve of his cheekbones. The slope of his smile sets Shiro on fire.
Shiro doesn’t do that. Shiro brings clouds and shadows and rain that’s so fucking cold it seeps into his bones every day and turns them to ice, and it feels like he’s always just one misstep away from shattering against the ground.
God, how he wants to shatter.
In which Shiro and Keith come home from the war and help each other rebuild. Picks up right after Season 7.
