    Summary

    She’s been in the shop for an hour, just like yesterday, already as the clock chimes 5pm. Mr Fell knows she’s here. He’d given her a cup of earl grey tea without asking her anything or saying much beyond “please don’t spill it”. She’s still sipping at the last dregs of it, wanting to make it last as if it would be a good enough excuse for Mr Fell to not kick her out. She just doesn’t want to go home. It’s getting worse there and another night spent under that roof seems like hell to her. So she lingers long enough to see the red haired man stalk into the shop.

    “Angel! You fucking stood me up! We had plans! You better be discorporated or something, Zira.” The man is clearly covering his distress with the anger, it’s a painfully familiar tone.

    She rounds a shelf into the main floor space in time for the man to spin around, sunglasses hiding his eyes even indoors. He sees her and frowns.

    For the request: 'a kid comes to the bookshop for hours every day and eventually the ineffable husbands realise the kid’s parents are abusive and the kid’s been going to the bookshop to get away from them as much as possible so they’re like “screw it we’re your parents now”'

    Summary

    “Wade,” Logan mumbles as he scoots closer, and strokes a gentle hand down Wade’s spine, “wake up, bub.”

    Wade shifts, too, onto his side, and Logan tugs him closer, his back to Logan’s chest, Logan’s hand on Wade’s waist. “C’mon, you’re all right, you’re having a bad dream—”

    Logan blinks, startled, at the knife in his upper thigh.

    “What the fu—”

    [5 times Logan doesn’t know how to handle Wade’s trauma, plus the 1 time Wade shows him that his instincts have been right all along.]

    [This is the one story that probably makes the least sense if you haven’t read the other ones. Yet I was still nice enough to make it readable as a standalone. Which means you should absolutely go and read all the other ones in the series. Pretty please?]

    Summary

    Saphira and Arya have a conversation while they wait for Eragon to wake up after killing Durza.

    Or: Saphira spent a significant chunk of her life being smaller than Eragon. For a lot of her life he was the one protecting and looking after her, and I don't think anyone talks about this enough.
