    Summary

    “Oh my God, May, what’s wrong? Are you hurt? Where are you?”

    She takes a breath. “I’m – I’m – I don’t know where I am I – I left the party – ” she says, her head still spinning too much to form a coherent sentence while she’s still crying.

    “Did someone hurt you?” he asks, and he sounds afraid. For her. Not even angry. She hadn’t realised he’d be that worried about her.

    “No – no – ” she gets out. “I’m fucked – I’m so fucked up, Buck, I fucked everything up – I got high and I’m freaking out – I fucked everything up – ” she tries, before dissolving into tears again.

    ***

    At a party with some friends, May leans in to the college experience a little too hard.

    At 2 am, drunk and high and emotionally spiralling, she calls the only adult she knows who might not judge her, and doesn't have kids to disturb. Someone who might unexpectedly just the right person to help her out....

    Summary

    “Just don’t expect me to walk you down the aisle,” Phillip laughed, looking around like he expected the rest to agree.

    And when no one did, glancing at one another in shock, confusion, and hurt on his behalf... it’d been the last straw:

    “I wouldn’t ask you to,” Buck said, as if discussing something as inconsequential as the weather, “I’d ask Bobby.”

    Summary

    It was wishful thinking. It had to be the truth. Glinda may not know much but she knew performance, and the more she thought about it the better it fit. Elphaba’s death didn’t make sense. Glinda had seen it with her own eyes and had stupidly believed that was proof it had happened.

    Elphaba’s melting shadow had been wearing the hat. Glinda wasn’t sure of the scientification of melting, but surely either all or none of her clothes should have melted. Surely Elphaba herself shouldn’t have melted. Fiyero’s body was missing, and Elphaba’s hat was in her hands.

    Glinda stared at herself in the mirror. Her eyes were bloodshot, and she realized she must have been crying. She looked crazy. It didn’t matter.

    Elphaba was alive.

    Summary

    Mrs. Young smiled. “As teachers, we don't get to sit down and talk one on one with each child as much as they deserve. This assignment always grants me a beautiful insight to my students. Their proudest accomplishments, their darkest moments, or even some facts I've never known.”

    She lifted a hand to her heart. “So with that, I would like all of you hear from one of the most beautiful essays I've had the pleasure of reading, from one of the-” she sighed. “-funniest kids I've met. Please welcome Christopher Diaz.”

     

    ...Christopher smiled into the microphone. "My name is Christopher Diaz. Here's my essay."

    "Dear abandoning dead Mom."

    The silence from the audience was deafening.

    "Oh god." Eddie whispered beside him.

    **OR**

    Chris gets an award for Student Performance night!

    “He baby-trapped you,” the man said with a misplaced confidence that was almost impressive, “that’s fucked up, man.”

    Buck blinked. Then blinked again. Then, “Uh... no. No, that’s not—”

    “Shut it, Benji, that’s not what happened,” the other robber scowled, no longer trying to pretend he wasn’t eavesdropping. “They’re both dudes. A dude can’t baby-trap another dude.”

    “Of course they can. Equal rights and shit! That’s what the parades are for.”

    There's a hostage situation at the bank and Buck is forced to reevaluate his relationship with Eddie (and vice versa).

    Summary

    His mind, being helpful for once, circled back to everything Tim had said before Jason got sidetracked with the whole knowing-their-secret-identities-since-he-was-nine thing. Something about a curse…people forgetting Robin if he were to take up the cape…constantly checking that Jason knew his name…

    “Jesus Christ, kid,” Jason said finally. “Were you cursed to have everyone forget your existence?”

     

    Or: Tim Drake is cursed to be forgotten by everyone he meets, over and over again. Somehow, Jason Todd is the only one who can remember him.

    Summary

    “Well, if you’re alive, you’ll have no problem setting the table,” Janet says, and glances impatiently at the wood he’d cracked his head on when he’d fallen down the stairs. “Blood in the wood, Timothy. It’s as if you don’t understand the value at all.”

    “I’ll pick a better place to die next time,” Tim says dryly.

    “See that you do,” she says, and sweeps off to call someone about the wood, presumably. It’s not too late to fix that situation, after all.

    [Tim’s immortal. Somehow, he ends up using it to bring the second Robin back home.]

    Summary

    Dead people are dead. Sokka's seen it himself. First, his mother, then Yue. Dead people don't come back. And even if he spent a long time wishing otherwise, there are no exceptions.

    Except, Zuko Sozin should be at least seventy. All evidence points to the fact that this kid was born in 1940. But, last Sokka checked, anyway, Zuko looked like a sixteen-year-old boy. He dressed weird, talked funny, and that massive burn scar pointed to something.
    ___

    The house up the street is haunted and the ghost inside has a scar he doesn't remember getting. The ghost is also pretty cute.

    It's kind of a sweet deal, actually.

    Summary

    What begins as a transforming love between Dean Winchester and Castiel Novak in the summer of 1965 quickly derails into something far more tumultuous when Dean is drafted in the Vietnam War. Though the two both voice their relationship is one where saying goodbye is never a real truth, their story becomes fraught with the tragedy of circumstance. In an era where homosexuality was especially vulnerable, Twist and Shout is the story of the love transcending time, returning over and over in its many forms, as faithful as the sea.
