The Story of Finn

by LullabyKnell

The story they hear is that of FN-2187. He's a defector – a traitor to the First Order. He's not the first, nor will he be the last, and the First Order expects to retrieve him and end him quickly. But that's not what happens. The only thing Stormtroopers own are stories.

by questionsthemselves

Mantis is drowsily chopping her broccolo into as close to perfect, even chunks as the knobby fractals will make, when she’s spooked by the quiet hiss of the doors sliding open. She spins around, knife held tensely to see Nebula frozen, watching her. Neither of them say anything for a moment, then Nebula says, “I’m better with that than you, you would not win.” Where in the quiet moments, Mantis and Nebula find each other.

and she dreams through

by questionsthemselves

Neblua touches her, and there’s a galaxy exploding in her mind, and dizzying, churning oceans in her eyes, and she falls a little in love. She’s often a little in love with the people she touches, feeling the tangled kaleidoscope of the very best and worst that person could be. But this…Before she can stop herself, she’s whispering, “You’re beautiful,” and then she’s clapping a hand over her mouth, hand springing back away from the perfect smooth seam where synth flesh met skin.  For Mantis, learning to people is hard but somehow being with Nebula never is.

"I'm sorry," Cas tells him, eyebrows drawn together with a sadness that Sam isn’t sure he can comprehend. Not just its depth, but the very fact of it.He's sitting on his bed, staring at the wall. He's been like that for around half an hour now, he thinks, ever since he woke up with a nightmare clinging to his mind like a cobweb refusing to be swept away. Cas came in and asked him what was wrong, and he said something about nightmares, about his body not feeling right; he doesn't remember exactly, it was only a few seconds ago but he doesn't remember. And now Cas is sitting on the bed next to him and Sam is wondering how an angel's face can be carved with such sorrow for something like him."What for?" he says, flicking his eyes downward so he doesn't have to face the sympathy he's sure he doesn't deserve.Cas hesitates, long enough that Sam looks back up at him. "Your hurt, I suppose. That you have to face nightmares when you deserve a peaceful rest. That you have to have a body in the first place."

Wildflowers

by Samuel_Walker

It was nice, acceptance. Jason wasn’t looking for forgiveness because he knew Dick never blamed him to begin with. He wasn’t looking to be absolved, he was searching for acknowledgement. He wanted Dick to know that he recognized the fault in his actions, that he wanted to do better, that he knew Dick deserved better.And that was that. The matter was settled. But Dick’s mind was somewhere else the whole night. Jason could tell. Earlier he almost put the leftovers in the trash and the to-go box in the fridge. And before that he tried to turn the TV on with a hairbrush.So, with his worries abated, and his regrets voiced, Jason turned the conversation around. “Where’s your mind been at, Dickie?”“Off picking wildflowers.”

“Mm.” Viktor glances over at the couch- Jayce had insisted on it, had piled blanket after blanket on it, and Janna preserve him, it looks so inviting. And yet… “I do not have an alarm clock here, Jayce. How will I wake up in exactly twenty minutes, hm?”Jayce stares at him, wide-eyed. “Viktor.”“What?”“I-” Jayce sighs, pinching his nose. He stares at Viktor again, simultaneously looking younger and older. It is an unnerving sight. “V. I’m here. I can wake you up in twenty minutes.”Viktor snorts. “Of course you will.”“I’m serious,” Jayce insists. “I- seriously Viktor, go take a nap, and I’ll wake you up when twenty minutes have passed. What’s- why are you shaking your head like that?”“Because you will not.”--AKA: Viktor needs a break. Will he trust Jayce to make sure he gets it?

Danny Phantom

Autonomy and Worse

by faedemon

In a moment of stress, Danny develops a new power, one far too electrically reminiscent of his death. With it, he can play puppeteer: when he speaks, people will listen, and they'll have thought all along the idea was their own. It's a terrifying power—and when Danny fails to control it, his friendships are left shattered in its wake.A narrative that explores this new ability, everything else it dredges up, and makes halting steps towards a ghostly coming-of-age.

Nidgaest

by Kieron_ODuibhir

There are thick perfumes hanging in the air, burned incenses mingling with natural flowers. The forest that rises where the beach ends is thick and verdant and almost like home. Truly, if any place on Earth could be called Paradise, for all the naked eye could tell, this island was named wisely.  Koriand'r loathes it. Her fingers tighten on the basket of woven gold, the crystal decanter. Gently, gently. They must not break. Beside her, full crimson lips part, the teeth behind them revealed a wine-stained pink, as they cut through a plump, perfectly ripe olive. Shear the toothsome part away, and spit the pit far into the waves, where it vanishes. "Delicious."

To Dance On The Horizon Line

by pokemon216

​You ignore him as you travel shelf by shelf in the royal library. An impossible task given his leather armor creaks and his weapons clink in their sheaths. Each step you take, shadowed by the heavy thud of a boot, completely destroying the quiet sanctity of the archive. You can tell it disturbs the other patrons. They side-eye and sigh and shift away, but they can’t say anything - you’re royalty, after all. ​You stop at a shelf lined with thick, heavy-set books. Dragging a finger over gilded lettering pressed into the spines, you read the titles in search for one in particular. You stop on one especially large tome, bound in dyed leather and thicker than your forearm, and inch it out of its spot sandwiched between two others. Owing to its size, it’s quite heavy. You try not to show any ounce of struggle or exertion as you hold it in both arms. ​“Shall I carry that for you, your highness?” You bristle at the sound of his voice. His hand appears in your peripheral, prepared to accept the burden.
