Summary
“First sign of trouble,” he murmured. “You can make the call, whatever might inspire it. We’ll end our quest and carry on two points richer, no harm done.”
She looked back at him -- at the earnest, honest expression that she’d come to recognize, come to believe despite how long it had taken her to warm up to its possibility -- and she bit the inside of her cheek.
“Fine--”
Ezra grinned.
“--But I still don’t trust her.”
“You don’t trust anybody,” he replied, heading toward the doorway, his grin turning to a smirk.
“I trust you,” she muttered.
Or: After the Green, Ezra and Cee take a job that feels a little too familiar and, of course, goes wrong in all of the ways it possibly could, leaving them fighting cave-ins, cracked helmets, and creatures that definitely aren't just channel rats.

Summary
“Do you maybe… want a hug?” she offered unassumingly, turning to cross one arm and glance off into the trees before feeling her attention pulled inevitably back to him.
“Do I--” Astarion took a step back, angling his shoulder toward her. His eyes were wide, and suddenly the anger was gone from his face. It had been replaced with… surprise. Genuine, raw surprise. It made Karlach’s engine ache.
“What,” he cleared his throat, trying to recover his biting tone. He only half managed. “What the hells would I want a hug for?”
Or, one time Astarion's grumpy and one time he's not. Both times end in hugs from a certain fire girl.

Summary
It was the summer of ‘87. Nothing in your life had prepared you for Robin, but somehow everything had begun falling into place. It all started with a movie and a pair of ocean-blue eyes, and suddenly you were dancing to a Jukebox in a long-closed diner, or racing down the length of a pier, swimming in the moon-dipped lake and walking her home down yellow-lit streets, talking about the way The Smiths sound like indigo and the best time of the summer is when the fireflies start to come out.
It was the summer of ‘87, and you were falling in love.

Summary
“Well,” she said, her voice unapologetically loud. “Are you going to come in?”
Alucard’s eyes widened a fraction. He hadn’t thought… Maybe a part of him had hoped, but he hadn’t ever truly thought that--
“Alucard?”
“I--”
Next to her, Trevor stirred.
“I don’t want to… intrude.
Or: Alucard can't sleep and finds himself outside Sypha and Trevor's bedroom door. Comfort ensues.

Summary
Jinx would not have called herself college material. But when she finds herself forced to navigate the halls of the Academy of Piltover, she realizes just how different she is, and just how hard college can be. Until a boy who's all sharp edges and soft hair helps her get a book off a shelf she can't reach. Until that boy introduces her to his friend, who acts like he can't stand her but really would do anything to make her happy. Until she realizes that friendship can be born out of the most peculiar places -- even the trenches of the Academy.
Thus begins a tale where plankton are the topic of discussion more than once, Heimerdinger's good name is disrespected, a criminal partnership is formed, and a glitter bomb is slowly but steadily constructed.

Summary
Watching her go, he made up his mind to undertake one small act of bravery. Nothing foolhardy, certainly nothing heroic—if anything, it was closer to insurance. But considering that it made his throat feel like it was closing up in a quite different way, he credited it as an act of bravery all the same.
In the preparation for the battle with Cazador, Astarion has some matters to discuss with Karlach and Jaheira.
Or, support can come in many different ways.

Summary
He scoffed. "My dear, I can be stubborn at the best of times, but this is ridiculous! You're barely staying upright as it is."
"I'm fine-"
"No, you're not," he sharply cuts you off. He grabs your arm and pulls you to a stop, holding you there with enough force that you wouldn't slip out and keep going. You refuse to look at him even now.

Summary
“Why are we wasting time on this?” Ellie asks, hating the way Joel’s analyzing her injury and poking at the swollen skin like it’s something to be watched with caution. “We should get going.”
Another sigh. “You can’t go anywhere with your ankle like this.”
Her heart beats faster. Well, here it is. She might as well start figuring out what the plan’s gonna be. Maybe she could learn to find 9/11 conspiracy theory books entertaining if it’s all she’s left with. Maybe she can figure out how to be alone after all.
or
An alternative ending to 1x03 where Joel and Ellie have to wait an injury out in Bill and Frank's quiet, safe little town.
