    Summary

    John grins sharply. “Hit me, Bobby. Come on. Fist. Not that floating crap.”

    Bob’s jaw tightens. “Don’t call me that.”

    John doesn’t apologize, just shrugs under him. “Hit me then.”

    Bob hesitates again. Then he pulls his arm back—still straddling John—and goes for it. A clean punch, not fast, but committed.

    John is lonely and somewhat depressed, but so is Bob. Somewhere along the line, they get used to each other’s silences, odd as they find it.

    Summary

    Bucky is fine. Really. He’s had therapy, he talks to Sam. He’s had plenty of time to settle down and focus on getting better.

    Except, now he’s part of a team, a family, and when things happen, they look to him.

    And sure, he wouldn’t mind taking a minute to himself, those shame rooms hurt a little more than he’d care to admit. But there’s no time for that with all of this new responsibility.

    So, his nightmares are back, sure, he’s used to them. And no more therapy, no time. And oh? Sam doesn’t want to talk anymore? Okay that’s fine. He’s back in the middle of all the chaos? Cool sure.

    And as for focusing on himself and his own health? Okay let’s be honest, when did he ever do that?

    Or, Bob has a bad night, and Bucky’s the only one around to help. Unfortunately, they end up in Bucky’s shame rooms instead. But that’s okay, cause Bucky’s totally over it now. Totally.

    Summary

    "So, I was thinking," Red begins after they're done, a sheen of sweat still on their bodies. "I'd be easier if I had a phone number I could call. So I don't waste my time wandering the streets for hours."

    He says it like he's joking. But his body doesn't lie. His posture is stiff, and the fingers of one hand are tugging at a loose thread in the cheap blanket.

    It's not a big deal, really.

    So, Frank becomes a booty call. A phone number Red can call when he needs to feel human for a little while, before he slips back into whatever nightmare he's chosen for himself.

     

    (Or, they start off as enemies, become allies (sort of), Frank becomes a booty-call. And something else entirely.)

    Summary

    Venti realized something was wrong. His songs and tales came out as normal, but he found himself stumbling and having to change his wording. They would catch in his throat, threatening to choke him if he wasn’t so quick to phrase things differently. Other than a few quizzical looks here and there, no one seemed to really pick up on it.

    By the time the sun sets and most people have left the area, Venti finds himself sitting on his statue's hands. He closes his eyes as a breeze comes by, and quietly he says, “My name is-I like to go by Venti.”

    “I'm nothing but a simple-I enjoy playing as a Bard.”
    “Melted cheese is the most deli-di-digusting thing ever.”
    His brow twitches. “The one I want to see most right now is-”

    He cuts himself off.

    “Oh no,” He mumbles, taping his lips lightly. He’s not sure if he feels amused or irritated at this predicament. “This will be a little troublesome.”

    | Venti is left unable to lie after a fight near a distorted ley line |
