    Summary

    Peter never made any plans to run away, until the day he leaves. It isn’t an idea that slowly creeps up on him. He just stands over the sink one day in early spring, watching his father’s bright red ashtray bob up through the soap bubbles, and feels an overwhelming urge to get the hell out of this place.
    Two years later. Tony Stark has been keeping his identity as Iron Man a secret, successfully hiding behind his spoiled, rich asshole persona. It’s isolating, but he doesn’t even like people anyway, so it’s fine, he’s fine, he’s great. And then he gets saddled with a new intern, who isn’t just hiding secrets—he’s barely holding it together.

    Summary

    Zuko’s arms are locked tight around himself, shaking, breath snagging against Sokka’s chest. “Why are you being so nice to me?” he whispers, voice all frayed edges.

    Sokka just kisses the corner of his mouth, soft like forgiveness. “Because I love you. And I like being nice to you.”

     

    or, Zuko doesn’t know how to be touched without flinching, doesn’t know what to do with gentleness that asks for nothing back. But Sokka holds him like something sacred—cleans him up, keeps him warm, kisses the trembling out of his spine. Love doesn’t have to be earned here. Not anymore.

    Summary

    He finds Ellie right at the gate, back pressed to it and gun held out.

    The sight of her makes him falter for just a moment. There’s no other word for her but wrecked. She’s far too thin, her cheekbones and the single collarbone he can see from where her shirt has slipped a bit under the strap of her backpack sharp, and there are dark circles under her eyes. She’s wearing a flannel that has to be Joel’s, though it’s rolled up to her elbows. On one forearm is a thick wad of dirty-looking bandaging.

    On both arms are dark, splotchy bruises.

    “-down. We’re not trying to hurt you,” George says. He’s a grandfatherly man, kind, even-tempered. He’s gotten tapped in to solve disputes and settle conflict more than once.

    He is also, at a glance, winding Ellie up like a spring.

    (on the way back from salt lake, joel and ellie get separated) (ellie makes it to jackson alone before joel, and tommy has a rough start with uncle round 2: electric boogaloo)

    Summary

    As the crowds disperse in the twilight and the trucks drive away, Thomas watches Safe Haven’s massive front gates begin to close on the outside world with a huge dull groan. The sound of it settles deep inside his chest. "C'mon Tommy," Newt calls easily from the huddle of their friends, sunset lighting them up all in a way that makes Thomas's heart squeeze, nothing more noticeable than the gold in Newt's eyes. Thomas turns, but can’t resist a final glance over his shoulder at the forests beyond the gates. He freezes.

    Because this is what Thomas knows.

    She’s not there, not really.

    Summary

    Jayce’s eyes snap to him, and Viktor almost gasps. There’s something wrong. Well, obviously, your lab partner’s just been regurgitated from a roiling ball of energy with a beard and a massive fuck-off hammer, thank you for the observation, Viktor - but there’s something wrong with Jayce, with his eyes. He looks crazed. He looks horrified, and all the more horrified the longer he stares.

    “No,” Jayce breathes. He staggers forward, catching himself with his hammer. “No. No, no, no, it can’t be you. He didn’t mean- no.”

    Viktor holds out a hand like he’s soothing a feral cat. “Are you alright? I can help you. Just- just let me stand.”

    He picks up his cane, leveraging himself from the ground. Jayce keeps trembling.

    “Not you, that’s not- that’s not what he said, not you, I can’t kill you.

    --

    Jayce is sent back to a time before it all fell apart.

    Summary

    "Jesus, Vik," Jayce said. There was a slightly sharp edge to his voice that was entirely unfamiliar. "Because I was - fuck, because I'm embarrassed."

     

    Viktor notices a pattern: the days grow short and Jayce stops smiling.

    Summary

    “Andrew,” Kevin pants, his eyes wide, chest heaving. “I found us a striker. Oh my god. I found him.”
    “Kevin, don’t-” Aaron yells from the hallway. Kevin slams the door shut, cutting him off.
    The desperation in Aaron’s voice catches Andrew’s attention.
    “Who is it?” Andrew asks, shocking himself with his own interest.
    “Neil Josten."

    Andrew thinks of Neil Josten’s abomination of an essay and resists the urge to hit something.
    “Neil Josten barely knows how to spell his own name,” Andrew drawls.

     

    In which the Foxes need a striker, and Neil somehow fits Kevin's criteria.

    Summary

    The last thing Peter sees is Tony's horrified, heartbroken expression leaning over him. The guilt in his eyes is almost worse than the burning pain that's taking Peter apart piece by piece. The world starts to go dark.

    There's a flash of gold and green. For one moment, he finds himself standing amongst the Guardians and others. And then darkness again. It feels like blinking; an extended period of nothingness that ends as abruptly as it begins. One moment there’s nothing, the next there’s light.

    “Easy,” a woman says. Her words are gentle, and carry a slight accent that he can’t place. "I'm called Wonder Woman. What's your name?"

Months later, during an unusually cold November, Tony and Happy are attempting to bond with the kid but don’t understand why the harder they try, the more Peter seems to be pulling away.

    Summary

    Viktor is not the leader of the Haven community, no matter what Mel and Caitlyn say, but he does act as the spokesman when they're forced to deal with the other clans that roam the wastes. So when Ambessa Medarda and her warband show up at Haven's gates with a prisoner for trade, it's Viktor who goes to negotiate with her. Much to his shock, her prisoner turns out to be Jayce, whom Viktor has long known to be dead. But in the intervening years, Jayce has become something dangerous and feral, and he no longer remembers Viktor.

    Obviously, Viktor isn't going to leave Jayce in the cruel hands of the Noxians, but he both longs for and dreads the moment that Jayce's memories return, because he knows that will be the moment that he loses Jayce again, forever.

    Summary

    Nobody rescues Jayce Talis. He’s left for dead in a blizzard. A young boy claws his survival from the forests of Freljord to become a man who barely remembers that name.

    And, eventually, a yordle professor drags his assistant along to study murk wolves in the field.

    Pinned lightly against a pine by his throat, the scientist studies the face of a wild man. Long hair, scraggly beard, a small gap in bared teeth, eyes deep and searching. Severe.

    “I’m Viktor,” he says, once the strong, callused fingers permit him the room to breathe properly. “Who are you?”

    Summary

    Maybe this is all Jayce Talis was meant to be: a cautionary tale of trying to outshine the shadows that were his birthright. Maybe he was always supposed to end up right here: alone, defeated, and shrouded in darkness forever.

    As always, Viktor refuses to let that be his fate.
