Summary
"'I want you—' Fabian says, and for a half-second Riz is convinced he’s about to say ‘I want you to go to prom with me.’ It is so unlikely. But it could happen, okay.
"Of course, Riz isn’t that lucky; he didn’t take that feat. '—to help me find a date,' Fabian finishes. 'You know, do your private investigator stuff. You’re licensed and everything.'"Or: a series of crises on the way to gay.

Summary
"'I just don’t see the point,' Fabian is saying, white-gloved hand cutting through the air. Basically Gorthalax’s pre-game plan had consisted of ‘just run right over them, they literally will not stop you, if even one of these kids has a positive Athletics modifier I will hang up my whistle,’ so while they are mostly huddled up, they’re largely skipping the pretense of a huddle and just kind of loosely gathered in groups waiting for kickoff. 'We’re going to win, they don’t have to be obnoxious about it.'"
Or: It's high school football season, and Gorgug loves his friends.

Summary
"Adaine’s been staring at the bright red C on the scorecard from her Transmutation demonstration for so long that she can still see it every time she looks away from it, even though her eyes are blurry with tears that she’s barely holding back, holding the paper so tightly it’s starting to buckle under her fingers."
Or: Adaine gets a bad grade. Fabian walks in on her mini breakdown. This goes, frankly, better than expected.

Summary
"Fabian’s perceptive powers aren’t exactly his strong suit—although what is his strong suit, really—but he still notices it when the end of the bed dips ever so slightly with the weight of someone small settling on it. Fabian flips over and stares at the ceiling. The skin under his eyepatch itches, and he resists the urge to rip it off and throw it across the room.
"'What do you want,' Fabian says, and when the words come out strangled, he grabs one of the pillows and smothers his face with it, fingers curling into the pillow cover. His father would call him a coward for hiding like this, for not owning up to his mistakes, but Fabian was already a coward, so. So it doesn’t matter."Or: my take on that "tiny bouncer" thing that totally got glossed over.

Summary
"By the time Fabian has regained his bearings, flat on his back and staring up at the bright, cloudless blue sky, the Ball is sitting on his chest, the Sword of Shadows at Fabian’s neck.
"'Ha,' the Ball says, grinning, and the long bits of hair that hang in front of his ears are plastered with sweat across his freckled cheeks, his upturned nose. 'Ha. Gotcha.'"Or: Summer has come to Solace. Obviously, this means doing things like hanging out with your party member who is definitely not your best friend, and doing stuff like sparring, because Fabian needs the practice. Obviously.

Summary
Director Fury activates Project Phoenix, a project designed to bring together the best heroes of the next generation and carefully nurture them so that they'll be ready to defend the world when the time comes.
In hindsight, relocating five hormonal teenaged boys with mouths too big for their bodies was probably a bad idea.
-or- the glitter gets everywhere, Director Fury gets a headache, and Tony doesn't know where all of the sass comes from.

Summary
The Texas sun beating down was merciless, almost a physical weight on his shoulders. John couldn't move even to change the angle: the collar was tight, the cuffs were tight, and the chains had been pulled to their limits.

Summary
"First," said Gale. "Do not kill any thinking creatures in Waterdeep unless you must to protect yourself or you have my express permission."
As Gale spoke, he could feel the weight of his words sinking into the person sitting across from him. It was like casting a spell, but took no effort. Astarion had been staring hollowly into his goblet of blood, but at this he made a faintly interested noise. As if the rule were novel and he was considering the shape of it.
"Second, you will obey me in all things," said Gale. There didn't feel like there was any honest way of softening that. Astarion didn't make any sound at all.
"Third, do not leave the tower without permission." Astarion made another speculative noise, considering this one too. But then his shoulders hunched and his eyes skittered down, as if he didn't want to look at what was about to happen.
"Fourth," Gale said, and paused. He started with some context: "There is a tressym upstairs."
Astarion's head twitched. He looked up at Gale, blinking, startled. He had the air of someone who had been bracing for a blow and instead had just been handed a balloon animal.
"A what?" he asked.

Summary
"Tell Lan Zhan that I'm weeping uncontrollably," Wei Wuxian says to the juniors. "Tell him I'm truly pitiful and he needs to do everything I say until I'm well again."
Lan Congyi is in the middle of carefully holding his eyelids open to check his pupils, but he still obeys, bless him. "Hanguang-Jun, Senior Wei would like us to tell you that he can't stop crying and he'd like for you to do everything he says until he's better." There's a moment of silence, and then Lan Congyi says to Wei Wuxian, "Hanguang-Jun says he already does everything you tell him."
--
Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji find themselves cursed, unable to see or hear each other. They figure things out anyway.

The Soothsayer just wanted to help.

Summary
In the end, it comes as no surprise when the first guy says, “What did you just say to me?”
“So you are deaf,” Harrington says haughtily, “that’s good to know. Or, hell, I don’t know, I could be wrong. Maybe you’re just stupid.”
Billy is out the door within a split second, just in time to see Harrington get decked in the face like an idiot.
*
Or: After their fight, Billy realises that Steve can't throw a punch to save his life. He decides that it's on him to fix that.
