He can do that, can't he?

Summary
"Riff ain't a kid no more," Tony thinks the first time he sees him again after getting off the bus from Sing Sing. It's a stupid thought, because he had come to the same realization about himself during his time upstate, but he had somehow- naively and perhaps a little selfishly- assumed that everything back in the upper West would be just as he'd left it a year ago.

Summary
Riff knows a lot of things- the sun rises in the east, nothing worth knowing about happens outside of the West Side, the Jets are the greatest, and he is more like his father than he wants to be.

Summary
The members of the Umbrella Academy all eventually walk out of its doors and never return. In doing so, they knowingly save themselves, and unknowingly save the world.
Now featuring Ben's grandma- because she is awesome.
AU where all the siblings (and Grace) leave the Umbrella Academy one by one, but do different things with their lives than they did in the original timeline. And because of that, the Apocalypse never comes to pass, and everyone lives a (more or less) happy life.

‘He could still feel the bite pulsing in rhythm with his heartbeat, remembered the sting, made more painful by emotion and surprise.’ A little ‘what if they really did it on Sakari’ story.

Summary
It’s funny how quickly this has become routine for them. Distantly, he thinks about Pavlov and dogs and pretends he’s okay with how he’s growing fond of the bell that calls him.
It could never be love. Hughie knew that from the start, from the first ring of the bell. He knew what he was getting into, knew exactly who he was crawling into bed with, exactly who he was saying yes to, over and over and over. He also knew, from the start, that none of that was ever going to stop him coming back. He knew, from the start, that maybe nothing ever would.
But it’s nice - oh, so nice, so indescribably divine - when it happens. And, afterwards, well, it’s fine. Hughie’s fine. It’s routine. The fool doing his usual little dance. Drooling like Pavlov’s fucking dog at the sound of the bells on his stupid fucking hat.
Sometimes, Butcher “accidentally” says the softest, sweetest things in the heat of the moment, making Hughie absolutely melt for him. Weirdly, though, he always says them right around the time he wants Hughie to do something for him, keeping Hughie loyally chained right to his side.

Summary
Centuries ago, marriage contracts were the norm — ready-made alliances between families, expected and complied with, without complaint. But norms have a way of changing, and when a long-dormant contract flares to life, Harry has to navigate an unexpected splintering of the path he'd thought would be easy after the war... with Draco Malfoy.

Summary
In the end, it comes as no surprise when the first guy says, “What did you just say to me?”
“So you are deaf,” Harrington says haughtily, “that’s good to know. Or, hell, I don’t know, I could be wrong. Maybe you’re just stupid.”
Billy is out the door within a split second, just in time to see Harrington get decked in the face like an idiot.
*
Or: After their fight, Billy realises that Steve can't throw a punch to save his life. He decides that it's on him to fix that.
