The Lonely Guardian

by Blanc_et_Noir

Dream didn't know what came over him, he wanted some time to think. Some time turned to days and thinking turned to building a nice home. Days turned to weeks and the home is bigger and cozier now. Weeks turned to years and it's been a while since Dream has seen his friends. Still, they're definitely living a more peaceful life now that he's gone, right? (Or, Dream left and started a cottagecore after the L'manberg Revolution and a Dreamon took his spot and the plot continues as it does in canon. Except, we have a Dream who likes to stay in his cottage and help his injured friends without telling them who he is, exactly)

by Experimental_Muse

Bruce finds himself stuck in the past, and while waiting for the league to pick him up, struggles to get along with his past self. Plus being in a practically empty manor is a bigger adjustment than he'd like to admit.

the things you could and

by petroltogo

"It takes Clint three months to admit to himself that he misses Tony Stark."Making a decision is the easy part. Standing by it, owning up to it, staying around to await the result, living with the consequences—that is the hard part. Clint Barton has made a lot of hard choices and no small share of devastating mistakes in his life.The difference is that this time, running is no longer an option. Neither, unfortunately, is staying still.

Battlefield

by IcyPanther

A series of short fics that I ramble out about these poor, unfortunate VLD souls. Most Recent Fic: (77) A Peaceful Death: Lance had once heard that drowning was a peaceful way to die. But as his head is shoved beneath the frigid water and ice fills his lungs and the world goes dark, this time he knows for the final time, he finds that isn’t true. Because drowning to death isn’t peaceful at all. It’s absolutely terrifying. Some Author Favorites: (11) Crimson Promises: There's blood everywhere except where it should be, which is inside Lance. All Hunk can do is hold him as he shivers, respond to his confused, pained breathless words and pray that help arrives soon.(26) Cave-In: Shiro and Lance are trapped in a cave-in. It’s really nothing bad, no one was hurt and help is already on the way, even if they’ll be in this dark, cramped space for a few hours more. Something though is wrong with Lance. And Shiro thinks he knows what might be the cause.

Somebody’s Son

by Buddieaya

“You don’t have to,” Buck says quickly. “You could just leave it. Don’t look.” Eddie glances up at him, and they both know without saying it that he isn’t going to let this go. There’s no way he can look away now, not after seeing the way Buck reacted. “Or maybe just not now,” Buck says softly, stepping closer, his hand settling gently over the screen like he can shield Eddie from what’s on it. “Maybe leave it for now. You’re not… Eddie, you’re not doing well right now. I’ve been so worried about you and this—” his voice catches, “—you… Eddie, please don’t. Just leave it.” It stings to hear the worry out loud, even if he knew it was there. He wants to do what Buck says, he wants to trust his friend and give him what he’s asking. Buck never asks for anything. Eddie moves Buck’s hand aside gently, giving it a brief squeeze. “Can’t do that, Buck.” Or; After Christopher leaves for El Paso, Buck decides that he and Eddie should trace their family trees to keep Eddie’s mind occupied elsewhere. The results lead Eddie to face a family secret.
