Summary
This is set during the main quest "Righting Wrongs."
What was Cid even thinking, splitting up before the meeting to sneak into Oriflamme? Leaving Clive to arrive in Sanbreque by himself, not only as a lone Bearer without a master but also marked as a deserter. It's not as if Clive easily blends in...
Things take a downward turn for Clive in Moore as he attracts the ire of a nobleman by being a Branded who speaks his mind.

Summary
Clive has lost his brother too many times.
Once, to his own hands – even if it wasn't true in the end, the belief that he had had nearly ruined him.
The second time, he was left with a feather in his fingers and a silent promise he clung to as his lifeline through the subsequent storm.
So, with Joshua passed out in the infirmary, forgive Clive for being a little jittery. He'll do his duties, of course, but he's running at half-power, at best, waiting for someone to tell him...

Whumptober Day 7 & 10
It’s like his life force if being syphoned away, made into flames and sparks and pressed into the forge as he wills it to light. It takes a few moments, and by the end of it, he’s more than a little bit woozy.

Summary
Bolt Academy has everything: prestige, affluence, renown. Almost every world leader, CEO, athlete, and have stepped through its doors. Problem is, it’s only for boys. But it’s the only school with the most challenging architecture program in the country. What else is Annabeth Chase supposed to do? Desperate to achieve her dream of becoming an esteemed architect, she cuts off her long curls, binds her chest, and goes by the name of Andy - the newest male student on campus. Now she must travel the dorms, the locker rooms, even the hallways with her secret. It’s smooth sailing, that is until Annabeth’s roommate Percy Jackson - a nationally ranked freestyle swimmer - starts to have feelings for Andy.
Coming to understand his sexual orientation, Percy navigates a campus filled with homophobia and hate crimes, all while every day taking a step closer to competing in the Olympics. Around every corner lies an opportunity for sabotage, and Percy has a target on his back.
But when Percy discovers the secret that Annabeth has been keeping, hard choices must be made and neither are willing to let the other give up on their dreams.
An interpretation of “She’s the Man” and the Korean drama “To the Beautiful You.”

Summary
It wasn’t necessarily misfortune to be in love with one’s neighbour, however it was certainly an event that relied upon fortuitous circumstances to end well. He’d tried as hard as a man rapidly approaching his thirties could to remain unbitter about the situation and some days perhaps even thought he managed it.

Summary
I made my way down the drive, handkerchief pressed discreetly to my nose, toward the small car that had become both my companion and tormentor in these months; the car that promised me the world’s distance while dragging me unresisting through its motions. As I placed a hand on the door handle, I heard a familiar voice call out to me.
“Nick!”
I turned, startled, and there he was: Gatsby himself, immaculate even at such an early hour. He was clad in loose trousers and a collared shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his forearms, yet despite the casual air of his clothes, he managed to look as elegant as the night I first encountered him. He came down the marble steps of his mansion with a speed and certainty that betrayed his alarm, coming to my side as if honing in on a beacon.
“You can’t possibly be going to work,” he declared, as though the very idea were obscene.
Nick is sick. Gatsby insists on looking after him.

Summary
Dream is not coping well post-imprisonment, after he has finally set things to order otherwise following the Vortex. There are unexciting times with migraines, dissociation, and panic attacks galore. Also copious references to sand and glass. Almost like a leitmotif / metaphor, even.
Title from "The Sound of Silence" by Simon & Garfunkel. (Opinion hours: 1964 acoustic version on Wednesday Morning, 3 AM album is the best version. You cannot change my mind.)
The head pains, the sparkling lights, the nausea - they come back. Again. And again. He gets better at hiding the signs, cursing whatever has caused this. He gets better at pretending he's not constantly behind a barrier of glass, that he's free, that he's fine. Dream is constantly behind glass. Stained glass, bloody glass, rounded glass, broken glass, all muffling the world around him, filling his head with cotton. Sometimes he wonders if it was easier being in the glass cage. At least then he didn't have to pretend.

Summary
You would not want your spiked fishbowl to be rotational. Or the fishbowl has spikes, and is also capable of rotation with Dream inside as a means of torture. Fortunately, Jessamy has escaped, and gone in search of help...
(He would learn, later, that the cruelty – watching him fall and gash himself open, bruise and break his bones – was the point. That the cruelty would only get worse and worse as Roderick Burgess realised Dream truly could not bring Randall back, and took whatever else he could instead).

Summary
In hindsight, Neal Caffrey should’ve realized nothing good could’ve come from Peter Burke smiling at him with such a mischievous glint in his eyes. But Neal was nothing if not a little too optimistic—a little too romantic—to not croon gleefully when Peter had described the two month vacation to Paris he was taking Elizabeth on.
It was just two months with a different handler, after all? What could go wrong?
—
Or, Neal gets abused by his new handler. Will Peter be able to stop it before its too late?
