You Allow Me To Feel

by CatherineWinner

Joe cared little for the communities that rose and fell in the millennia that they travel to each small town and booming city. It was enjoyable enough to dance in their streets, consume their beverages and be treated to their arts. It was worth his time to fight battles to protect their ways of life…. But they offered him nothing. These communities with their dance, drinks, and people offered him nothing compared to a moment with Nicky. AKA : Joe is jealous of Nicky's affection for humanity.

Paper Ships

by unencryptid

He holds the little boat in his hand before impulsively fishing the graphite from his robe’s inner pockets and writing FEAR across both sides of the bow of his little paper boat. He leans over the end of the docks and gently sets the boat in the calm water. It bobs and dips for a moment before finding its balance and floating away from the dock. Stede watches the pale paper boat sail away from him and begins to fold another. He takes his time, making sure the creases are sharp and folds sturdy, and soon he has another paper ship. This one is larger than the last, and much better formed, and Stede taps his graphite against the ship thoughtfully as he debates which personality defect to send into the blue. “Coming up with a name is the hardest part.” Stede gasps, head spinning to the other end of the dock. “Edward,” he breathes, tension easing out of his limbs in an instant.  _______Stede's thoughts keep him from finding sleep; he finds a way to get rid of them—one that helps him and Edward back to each other.

Free Wills Ways

by Miraculous_Content

Most people would focus on specific things after hearing that Paris was no longer in danger of akumatizations. They'd be glad that the unwelcome interruptions to their daily lives would cease, or that they'd no longer be at risk of having their emotions be taken advantage of (by a supervillain, at least), or that they wouldn't have to walk on eggshells due to the risk of being chased down by an evil, superpowered version of the person they offended.Luka, however, just wants to know how Marinette is doing.
