My Hero Academia

Only Then I Am Human, Only Then I Am Clean

by TheNarator

Fumikage and Dark Shadow have each other, and that's fine. They don't need anyone else. They don't need their parents to believe them. They don't need their teachers to accommodate them. They don't need their friends to understand them. They don't need anyone else. It's fine. Right up until they meet someone who shows them they could have had more. And then it stops being fine.

the gift is to the giver

by UglyGreenJacket

Shane loves Christmas. He always has. A quiet time surrounded by family, with good food and presents, and time to let his brain just sit. He can’t wait to bask in his parents' love and attention, being with people who he (mostly) doesn’t have to hide or perform around. Though he’d be lying if he said that his thoughts have been solely on them. Because every time he’s not busy, he finds his thoughts wandering to Ilya Rozanov. What is Rozanov doing? Does he even celebrate Christmas? Does he wish he could spend it back home in Russia? Does he have anyone to spend Christmas with? Would he want to spend it with Shane if he could? Fucking, of course. They would be fucking, because that’s what they do. Always. There is absolutely nothing else there. But still, in the quietest moments, he wonders…

All For The Game - Nora Sakavic

Like Holding A Knife By The Blade

by sambutwithbooks

“Rough day?” Neil asks, the upturn of his tone making it into a question. He’s being handled with kid gloves and the itching feeling under his skin ignites into fury. When Neil goes to reach for the half-finished cigarette, Andrew jerks his hand away with a scowl. “Guess that answers that,” Neil says, too at ease in the face of his childishness. “What’s wrong?”Andrew makes a noise, something derisive and mean. He’s been on edge for days now, the loop of Neil’s voice playing between his ears- how casual and sincere he’d sounded despite the lie on his lips.I love you. -----Neil has Feelings and Andrew has Feelings about those Feelings.

Ace Attorney

Scribbled in the Margins

by BaconnEggs

A small leather-bound journal was in Phoenix’s hand.“What is this?” Miles had asked, grazing the tips of Phoenix’s fingers as he took the book, the attorney’s skin hot and dry.“Ah, case notes,” Phoenix had clarified, his voice worn thin by the fever. “I…took the liberty of studying some of Mia’s old cases. Hope they help in some way.”“...I see,” was Miles’ reply, the lesser option when compared to nagging his bedridden friend for working while in recovery. Pot meets kettle, he concedes.“I’ve, um, bookmarked the relevant pages, so it’s easier to find when the time comes. So you don’t spend your precious time leafing through things irrelevant to Iris’ case,” Phoenix explains, rather hurriedly, his gaze pointedly away from Miles’ own.————————————Edgeworth reads through Phoenix's case notes and makes a discovery or two. Or three.

Harry Potter and Draco

by GingerTodgers

Written for this mind-meltingly good prompt:The epic love story of Harry Potter & Draco Malfoy, narrated for the Daily Prophet (Or the Quibbler) from their rocky start at Hogwarts, to the fighting in opposite sides during the War, to the rebuilding, to the marriage/partnership until their old age. I would love something about the "big picture" of Harry/Draco's relationship, from 11 years old to 110 years old!
