    Summary

    If Wally were a better person, he would walk away and leave Dick to his new life—he would let him be happy.

    But Wally needs this moment of selfishness. He needs closure. He needs a chance to say goodbye before he leaves for the Sanctuary tomorrow. He can’t put this off any longer.

    Wally pushes the door open. A dulled bell clinks above the frame, announcing his arrival. Dick—Ric doesn’t even look up.

    (Companion fic to "Feels More Like a Memory," this time from Wally's POV!)

    Summary

    “Dick’s fine. We’re fine. We’re just…kind of tipsy? Maybe a little drunk. It’s hard to tell.”

    Bruce would be less alarmed if Wally told him Dick had replaced his left hand with a meat hook. “What.”

    “You’re mad, aren’t you? You’re totally mad. Oh man, he told me you’d be mad. Y’know, not to be a snitch, but it was all Dick’s idea and he’s the one who even bought the beer and—did you know I get straight As? Being a first offender should get me some kinda…kinda leniency, right?”

    Summary

    Dick doesn’t mean to relapse.

    It’s been almost ten years since he’s been in recovery. He wasn’t planning on it being a problem again. He’s an adult now—older, stronger, more capable of finding healthy ways to cope with the stress of his life. Bruce would be so disappointed if he found out Dick had relapsed into his eating disorder because of him.

    Dick can’t even say what the tipping point is, if it’s really about Bruce's untimely death or if this was simply the final straw in a long line of terrible events.

    Summary

    The first time it happens, Will classifies it as a little accident.

    When he wakes, the morning sun is burning through the window onto their faces, and Mike’s cursing as he stands to close the curtains, stumbling all the way.

    “Scoot over,” he grumbles, voice dry, and for a second Will can’t do anything other than sigh like a lovesick idiot. It’s a second too late for Mike, because he grumbles more words Will doesn’t catch under his breath and then physically pushes Will towards the wall to lay beside him, arm over Will’s middle. A second of silence passes, then Mike sighs, only to whine: “Fuck, my head hurts.”

    Will can’t help it: he breaks down laughing, much to Mike’s offense.

    ---------------

    Alternatively: five times Mike kissed Will, and one time Will kissed back.

    Summary

    But he’s not, like, obsessive about it. He still eats, and most of the time it’s perfectly fine. He’s lucky that Alfred already cooks for a vigilante diet, so most of his meals are lean and filled with protein anyway. He’s just…more careful about it.

    No one lingers or comments on how little Dick eats. Anyone who looks at him can deduce that he’s an athlete. Health-conscious eating comes with the territory, and being an acrobat at that means everyone expects him to stay lithe.

    Besides—he’s Robin, isn’t he? Might as well eat like one.

    Summary

    “Dick,” the therapist said seriously. “Why are you here?”

    Dick floundered, searching for words that wouldn’t come. “I…” He thought of Catalina’s hands washing soap from his body, massaging his back, feeding him sweet strawberries one by one. “I… I had a girlfriend.”

    It doesn’t matter if Dick always feels Catalina's hand on the back of his neck, or her breath ghosting against his lips. He needs Nightwing. He needs to do good. How else will he counterbalance the sin weighing on his soul? So he’ll lie to his brothers, to Bruce, to Alfred. He’ll even lie to his reflection in the mirror. Because he knows that he'll be alright eventually. He'll be fine.

    He'll be totally okay.

    Summary

    "I don't think you did it, for the record."

    "Did what?"

    "Killed Garzonas," he said. " You were too good, Jay. You woulda never."

    "...I've killed, Dickie."

    He waved that statement away with the bottle. "You're just saying that because you're a manifestation of my subconscious and I've killed."

    "Right," Jason said flatly. "How much have you had to drink?"

    "Just enough," he said, taking a sip. He didn't want to get too much drunker past this point. Knocking himself unconscious has sounded nice earlier but he wanted to keep this hallucination going now. It was so nice.

    Summary

    Erik is single, working a cube job he hates, letting his master's degree in mutant studies collect dust, and living on his best friend's couch. When she kicks him out, he's forced to trawl Craigslist for the least-offensive rooming option within his meagre budget. He never expects a response from the persnickety, high maintenance ad he replies to as a joke, but it's possible this too-nice apartment and mysteriously absent roommate might be the answer to all four of his problems.

    Summary

    Erik is the grumpiest, most foul tempered worker at Stark industries. His grumpiness is the stuff of legends.

    So it's obviously the talk of the office when Erik is being made to go to the company party and he's bringing his husband. There's rumors flying round about how much of a masochist or equally antisocial bastard Erik's husband must be to put up with him. Others think he must be a meek mouse perhaps bullied by Erik.

    What they weren't expecting was the confident, charming, adorable and unbelievably nice Charles that turns up on Erik's arm. What they certainly weren't expecting was how much Erik obviously adores his husband and how happy he is to let others see this.

    Based on a prompt from the kink meme.

    Summary

    So much of a person depended on their parents. Charles was like his own mother. He was an unlovable asshole, a neglectful drunk, a bitter hermit. He wanted, so desperately he craved, a family. Erik was right, he was drowning. But not in alcohol or drugs, Charles was drowning in his own guilt. In trying desperately to be different, he had inadvertently become just like his mother.
    "...You will follow your mother's footsteps. You will continue to neglect those around you, until they grow resentment. Charles, they will bury you the same way you buried your own mother. With indifference."

    OR

    Charles tries desperately not to become like his mother.

    Summary

    It’s been seven years since Will Byers vanished from Hawkins for the second time; seven years since he picked up his life, moved across the globe, and finally settled. He had found himself in a small town outside of Dublin with no desire to be anyplace else. He was happy. Ireland was great — beautiful sights, decent weather, and it was far. So, so far.

    But when past feelings bubble from under the surface and start to poison his creative endeavors, he doesn’t think things could get any worse.

    Seeing Mike Wheeler at his local grocery store quickly proves him wrong.

    OR: Running away and the reunion of a lifetime.

    Summary

    It’s been three years after the events of season 4, and time has done nothing to mend the growing cracks in Mike and Will’s friendship. The party, once thought to be lifelong friends, has broken apart and gone their own ways, trying to move past the horrors they’ve endured. They closed the gate. They saved Max in time. Vecna is dead.

    Will Byers, however, is still haunted by the memories of what happened all those years ago, trapped, alone, and unable to move on. But when those memories start bleeding into real life, and imagined threats start to become all too real, Will must find it within himself to fight this evil one more time.

    When that leads to Mike Wheeler showing up in his life once more, well, that’s just one more headache Will doesn’t want to deal with. He’s moved on, and Mike is just a bitter reminder of everything he’s lost.

     

    -

     

    “I’m sorry, Will.” Mike spoke the words softly, a near-whisper that could’ve easily been swept into the quiet whistle of the wind, only heard by the one who uttered them.

    “No, you’re not,” Will says without turning around. “If you were, or if you had been, you wouldn’t be saying this three years too late.”
