    Summary

    Ilya doesn’t even realize when Arthur slips from his thoughts. There’s no sharp turn, no clear moment where the article stops being about a little boy who loves reptiles and starts being about the man lying beside him in bed. It just… happens. The way his mind always seems to find Shane eventually, like water finding its lowest point.

    a character study on shane’s undiagnosed autism

    Summary

    Nothing feels right or good. Not the weight of his pads or the glide of his skates over fresh ice. Not the crispness of the rink air or the roar of a sold out Montreal crowd. Not his teammates’ triumphant shouts when he sinks a goal or cool water in his throat after a hard workout or well wishing texts from his parents before every game. It’s all just… faded.

    Grey.

    Empty.

    Shane doesn’t know how to bring color back into his life. Not when he leeched it out himself with every step he took away from the only person who has ever truly, honestly seen him.

    • • • • •

    After Shane walks away, his life falls apart one piece at a time.

    Summary

    “I feel really good about this kid, I think he could be great on your wing, he just needs some help settling in. Someone to show him the ropes.”

    “Yes.”

    The line went silent for a moment. Ilya wasn’t really sure why his coach felt the need to run this by him.

    “Rozanov,” his coach said at last. “I want him to live with you.”

    Ilya blinked, then nearly shouted into the phone. “What?”

    Summary

    "We're setting you up with a billet situation," Fletcher continued. "It's pretty common for first-year players, especially international guys. Gives you a chance to settle in, learn the city, have someone looking out for you."

    "Okay," Ilya said slowly, not entirely sure what a billet was, but not wanting to admit his ignorance.

     He could guess from the context – he’d heard of rookies being assigned to live with older single players, veterans who could show them the ropes. Maybe that was what Fletcher meant. Connors maybe, he was probably a handful of years older than Ilya. Or perhaps Becker. Ilya just hoped it was someone who–

    "You'll be staying with Nikolai Petrov and his family."

    The words hit Ilya like a punch to the gut. For a moment, he forgot how to breathe.

    "Petrov?" he managed, his voice coming out strangled.
    __________________________________________________________________

    The Bears decide that Ilya should be set up with a billet for his first season. The idea of spending a year living with a man that Ilya is sure hates him is completely terrifying. And yet, it ends up being the best thing to ever happen to him.

    Summary

    In the midst of capturing a magical creature, Merlin is transported to a world where Camelot is home to thousands of magic-users. King Uther is nowhere to be found, Arthur is a prince again, and Queen Ygraine sits on the throne.

    Merlin plans to get back to his own reality, to his own Camelot. To do that, however, he must have access to information that is inside a shielded castle protected by powerful sorcerers. The only way in is to participate in the Apprentice Exam and be an apprentice to a magic-user included in Camelot's court. Should be easy . . . right?

    Conspiracies are afoot and Merlin just knows that, somehow, he is or will be involved. Just his luck.

    ARC 1 CONCLUDED!

    Summary

    Like he’d done time and time again since he was nine years old, Dick Grayson silently took a burden from his father and made it his own.

     

    Fics, mostly centred around Dick Grayson, that all take place in my version of DC canon.

    Can be read separately.

    Summary

    They were quiet for a long moment, two birds nesting on a rooftop under the haze of the Gotham fog.

    “You’ll catch me?” Robin whispered, words almost lost to the night air.

    Robin watched him in a way that was different to the circus, different to Batman, different to the people he saved. He watched and he mimicked and he looked up to Nightwing in a way that made it all feel worth it.

     “Every time,” Nightwing promised.

    .

    Dick Grayson was eighteen when he got a baby brother.

    He was twenty-one when he lost him.

    (He is twenty-five when he gets him back)

    Summary

    Dick has always been the responsible one—the one who holds the line, keeps his cool, and plays by the rules. But after a long night of venting to Jason Todd about how he envies Red Hood's freedom to unleash hell, Dick comes home to find a custom-made Red Hood suit waiting for him. The note? Classic Jason: "Go nuts, Dickhead."

    He knows it’s a bad idea. He knows he shouldn’t.

    But Jason’s out of town. The city’s still a mess. And maybe—just this once—it’s time he stopped playing nice.

    Summary

    After the impact of Dark magic on their armies in the war against Xadia, the other kingdoms apply pressure on Katolis to ensure a repeat offence doesn't occur. As a result, Callum's tasked with assessing the danger of any artifacts King Viren left behind in the High Mage's chambers. Only, Callum falls mysteriously ill after the work commences, and coming off the back of a plot against Ezran, they can only assume the Crown is being targeted again.

    “Why would they go after me?” Callum asks, like Soren can’t be serious. “Ez is the king.” Callum leans back like that settles the matter.

    Soren softens, “Exactly.” He comes closer, brushing a hand over the wood of his father’s desk. His chest pangs. “You’re not the king, so you’re an easier target.”

    Summary

    “You should know that a hummingbird’s metabolism is so incredibly fast that they live their lives in a perpetual state of starvation. They wake only to eat. They cannot stay perched for long—to take in the world as if they have the time. If they do, they will die.”

    And in that moment, Sanji realizes it isn’t the hummingbird he’s looking at, but a boy with a heart and hunger too vast for human nature.

    “Fascinating, are they not?" the man continues, turning to him with eyes of awe. “To be a bird that has no choice but to fly.”

    Or: Whole Cake Island was the last place Sanji ever kicked Luffy.

    Summary

    He keeps moving forward at a steady pace, resisting the urge to run because how fucking embarrassing would that be, running because he missed them, and as he breaks through the treeline he shouts, “Oi, oi—what took you guys so long? It's been—”

    And then he freezes, because yes, actually—something is very, very wrong.

    The Sunny is anchored just off shore, close enough to see the deck but far enough away that the crew has had to take the Mini Merry to make land. Scattered across the beach in various stages of chaos—rolling around, yelling, fighting—are his crew but not his crew, so similar and yet so, so different. They look younger, fresher, and whatthefuck there, on the deck of the Sunny just peering over the railing, he catches a flash of green—his own green hair

    “Ah, fuck,” he grunts, and then immediately turns back around because no, actually, he does not want to deal with this.

    Summary

    Douxie and Merlin spent centuries dancing around the topic, implying, but never quite confirming how they saw each other… like a father, like a son. Douxie only got that confirmation on Merlin’s dying breath. It took dying for Merlin to admit he saw Douxie as a son…

    So honestly, it baffles Douxie how easily the kids admit they view him as an older brother.
