    Summary

    Buck didn't think he'd end up back at Eddie's after everything. All the things that drove him here haven't changed and neither have the things that made him leave again. Thirty four years old and able to drop everything in his life because he had no dependents, no responsibilities, no ties. Chris was gone and Eddie was following him and Buck was only at South Bedford because he was being left behind.

    Buck has reckoned with his feelings by now, this past year after Bobby, after everything that went on in the desert, the lengths Eddie went to, bringing things into sharper focus. He's in love with Eddie, has been in love with Eddie for so long it just became part of the fabric of the universe, the baseline from which Buck operates. He's made his peace with it too, aware that Eddie doesn't feel the same.

    He'd do anything for Eddie and Chris but he felt more like a guest than he ever had when they came back to LA, sleeping on their couch, waiting to be asked to leave. Better to go than be pushed, he figured, and yet the path always seems to lead back to here.

    So, South Bedford it is, only there are four of them now, not three because Buck is responsible for more than himself these days.

    Summary

    Daniel thought he may have just won the award for the worst possible time to lose his passport: immediately post-bomb-drop with the trial script, and alone in the penthouse with a very angry vampire.

    Louis had told Armand not to touch him before he left, but would that have any sort of meaning now? The whole Maitre thing was definitely over. There was nothing stopping Armand from coming in here to kill Daniel, because he couldn’t leave. Rest in peace, Daniel Molloy. Died because he provoked an ancient vampire and then couldn’t keep track of his stuff when it actually mattered.

    Couldn’t Armand just stay in the hole he’d made in the wall? It would be so much easier for Daniel if he just stayed in the hole in the wall.

    “Daniel,” Armand said, very much not in the hole in the wall.

    Summary

    "You left," Daniel says and it's his turn to gain emotion in his voice. He looks away briefly before looking at Armand again. "I don't want your stupid fucking letter bullshit, okay? You want to apologize, I want to hear it right now."

    "Daniel—"

    "Are you fucking sorry or not?"

    Summary

    It's gym period and M.J.'s bench-pressing The Second Sex while deep in speculative thought. So, the way Peter's shirt stretches over his biceps and shoulder blades is not a joke. On the other hand, his eyebrows are always in the middle of an identity crisis, and his lips are kinda thin. His smile, though--really, really nice. First class, one might say. A solid, toothpaste advertisement smile.

    Yeah, M.J's not doing great service to Simone de Beauvoir right now.

    Summary

    He leaves the news channel on long enough for her to comment, "Must be fun, swinging from buildings like that. Well, either fun or completely terrifying."

    "Yeah," Peter says. And then, because he's an idiot, adds, "He's cool."

    Michelle shifts, kicks her feet up onto the coffee table. "Hm. I'm more into The Winter Soldier type. Dark, mysterious, dangerous. That's cool"

    Peter is about to reply through a steadily deepening frown - The Winter Soldier??? Cooler than Spider-Man??? Really??? - but when Michelle had shifted on the couch, she had somehow ended up with her shoulder bumping his, their arms almost pressed together, and for some reason the warmth of her body so close is really distracting. So he doesn't say anything.

     

    (Peter is a dumb teenage boy who just wants Michelle to think he's cool).

    Summary

    Luckily for Ned, Peter chooses that moment to slide into the spot next to MJ. “Hey guys, sorry, had a phone call,” he says, setting his lunch tray down on the table. The tension between MJ and Ned is apparently pretty obvious, because he starts to look back and forth between them, eyes narrowing in confusion. “What’s going on?”

    “I was just asking Ned about the videos on your laptop,” MJ replies candidly, “since you won’t tell me what they are I thought I’d look for answers somewhere else.”

    Peter groans. “You’re still on that?”

    MJ nods, licking the yogurt off of her spoon. She doesn’t miss the way Peter’s eyes flicker down towards her mouth briefly, or how he pointedly swallows and steers the conversation away from the videos and towards a different topic. Huh.

    (MJ develops a crush. Everything's fine, until it's not.)

    Summary

    On Monday, Flash catches Michelle's gaze in the hall and Michelle catches his, turns it into something dark and scathing, and throws it back. The incline of his eyebrow is asking, have you sorted Peter's shit out yet? Michelle doesn't even bother schooling into her features into an expression that could read as an answer. He's not worth her time.

    And, plus, the answer is no.

    She's given up all her recent opportunities to question Peter. She doesn't want to interrogate him about his life. She doesn't want him to think she cares.

    Because she doesn't. Not really. The thought of caring, of being actively involved in someone else's life seems messy. Complicated. Especially if that someone is Peter Parker.

    This is why she sticks to observing people quietly from the sidelines.

     

    (Peter has been acting weird and Michelle tries not to care).

    (And fails).

    Summary

    “I don’t want to intrude.”

    “You’re not intruding at all.” MJ unlocks her door and steps inside, gesturing with her head for him to follow. “Besides, I’m just repaying you for the flowers.”

    “You don’t have to,” Peter insists. “I was just being nice.”

    “Then I’m being nice too. Come on. I have too much food and only myself for company.” 

    She holds up the plastic bag in her hand, where Peter can see two boxes of takeout inside.

    “Okay,” Peter agrees, his hunger winning against his common sense. “Thank you for having me.” 

     


     

    Peter has done a good job avoiding Ned and MJ for the past four years. Until they both moved in across the hall and began inviting him for meals and giving him leftovers (suspiciously looking freshly cooked). He really shouldn’t get involved in their lives anymore, but Peter Parker is broke, hungry, and can’t resist the temptation of delicious food and the chance to talk to his friends again.

    Or: Healing and loving through awkward leftovers, impromptu lunch hangouts, and maybe admitting Peter’s not quite satisfied with his life as he thought he was.

    Summary

    Refusing to let Ilya ruin his career by signing with Ottawa, Shane chooses to really give their relationship a try and moves to Boston to live with Ilya and become a Raider. What follows is enough public scrutiny and backlash from his team that it has him questioning if he made the right decision. Until moments with Ilya and the Raiders show him exactly why he chose correctly.

    ---

    Hayden’s eyes flickered to Shane as he sat on the bench, chewing on the edge of his mouth guard.

    “Don’t fucking look at him,” Ilya insisted as he bent down for the faceoff.

    “Excuse me?” Hayden mumbled, eyes darting back to him.

    “You heard me,” he retorted, his tone clipped. “He’s not your teammate anymore; he’s mine. If you think Marlow is a problem to your game, wait until you see what I will do to your team if you hurt anyone on mine again.”

    Hayden scoffed, dipping his head as he tried to focus on the game. Something about Ilya’s words still rang through his head though, sounding so definitive that he didn’t want to risk seeing what he was actually referring to when he said that.

    The puck dropped again, and Ilya stole it before he could comprehend how quickly it happened.

    Summary

    Ilya was used to hazing. He had been subjected to it, he had participated in it, and, as a captain, he had stood guard over the rookies and protected them from anything truly harmful. But if he had been asked, Ilya would have approved of this prank. He would have authorized it, given Cliff and Vicky his seal of approval, perhaps even helped orchestrate it.

    Any other day, Ilya might have been happy to play along.

    But, in perfect dramatic irony, it had not happened any other day. It had happened today. And, cherry on top, of course the rookie had to walk in when Shane was already freaking out about Ilya saying his name.

    +++

    A prank-gone-wrong leads to the Boston Bears finding out about Shane and Ilya’s relationship in 2016. The day Ilya first invited Shane into his house. Right after they say each other’s names for the first time. Fuck his life, honestly.

    Summary

    "Happy birthday!" Daniel croons, his grin hooking his mouth wide, eyes bright and glowing with pleasure between dark eyelashes.

    He holds out a small packet, haphazardly wrapped in colourful paper; a hint of pink dusts his cheeks, his heartbeat quickened with excitement and nerves; he smells sweet with it.

    Slowly, Armand takes the packet from him; it's light, and when he turns it over in his hands, it emits a quiet, gentle rattle.

    "Okay, birthday tutorial: at this point, we usually say 'thank you'."

     
    Or: Daniel Molloy and the many birthdays of the vampire Armand, across decades.

    “I don’t see why I have to go,” grumbles Maomao as Xiaolan dresses her.

    “Of course you have to go! You are the consort of the Moon Prince, my lady!”

    Maomao has still not met the emperor’s younger brother. She almost doubts his existence. There is a slight curiosity in her mind as to whether or not he will attend this garden party. Though, honestly, she much prefers him as a spectral figure than a flesh and blood one.

    Summary

    It’s like a knife to the gut, seeing in real time how Mickey doesn’t trust him as much.

    “I’m glad someone was there for you.” Is all Ian has as he tries to stop his eyes from watering.

    “Yeah, you sure as hell weren’t.” He spits out, and it’s angry and mean and yeah, fuck, it’s true, isn’t it? Mickey was in here all fucking alone, while Ian didn’t even bother to visit. Spent all his time missing Mickey, but trying to forget he ever existed. At the time, it seemed the best thing for both of them. Allowing a clean break, letting them both move on.

    Turns out that ‘moving on’ is a little different when one person is locked up.

    Ian swallows, wiping at a tear before it has time to fall. “I know.”

    “See, this is fucking why I didn’t want to talk about this.” Mickey mutters, shuffling closer in an attempt to console and help.

    ///

    Ian and Mickey may be back together in prison, but they still have a lot to talk about so that the past won't keep hurting them.
