    Summary

    Keith and Lance fall through wormholes (and also, in love): An exercise in trust.

    //

    “I’m only stranded here because I followed you!” Lance shouted, and that was the crux of it, wasn’t it? At the centre of it all, Keith’s thumping, beating heart, bleeding out by design. Keith’s lips twisted into a sneer.

    “Then maybe you shouldn’t have.”

    If Lance tried to kiss him because he meant it, he should’ve known better. Caring for Keith was a battle, and he was going to get tired of fighting it. Keith would rather have nothing, than have something good and watch it leave him behind.

    Summary

    "Lance had watched Keith Kogane win a bar fight with a broken hand, rip open a keg with a knife, and complete a whole wretched ensemble of activities you definitely shouldn’t do with a beer in hand.

    And yet here he was, glittery Sharpie in hand, waiting to sign Lucy’s copy of Altea.

    Lance opened his mouth to say something arguably rude and not appropriate for their current audience. Until he remembered that he himself had either watched or participated in these activities and was now holding a four-year-old containing his DNA. So Lance didn’t have much of a leg to stand on either."

     

    When Lance runs into his ex-boyfriend at a children’s book signing, he not only finds out that Keith Kogane ages like fine wine, but he also apparently wrote his daughter’s favorite book. As Keith lingers in town, Lance frantically tries to keep his daughter from realizing that the writer is not only a person from Lance’s past, but a character in her bedtime stories as well.

    Summary

    “It’s been six years since your former rink mate was barred from competing, and several outlets have reported Xie Lian is planning to announce his return to competition next season. Do either of you care to comment?”

    You would think by now, after years of dodging any and all inquiries on the subject, reporters would have learned not to ask these kinds of questions.

    Feng Xin glances to his right, sizing up the other's reactions.

    Mu Qing hasn’t properly smiled in years. Feng Xin bites his cheek — instead of punching Mu Qing in the face the way he wants to — turns back to the front, and thinks fuck it.

    Every skater is replaceable. Retirement always looms. But pissing Mu Qing off? That’s forever.

    “I think,” Feng Xin says, leaning closer to the microphone in front of him with a wide smile, “they should ban Mu Qing next.”

    Sometimes, Feng Xin still says the wrong thing, Mu Qing still has trouble letting go, and Xie Lian wonders if it ever could have been different.

    Sometimes, everything you’re looking for is six years behind you. And sometimes, it can be found right where you left it.

    Summary

    Atsumu de-seeds everything from watermelons to tomatoes for Kiyoomi — carefully, painstakingly, with the very tip of a teaspoon, or, whenever that won’t quite do the trick, with a toothpick — and the fact that Kiyoomi doesn’t actually need him to is his best-kept secret to date.

    Or, Sakusa Kiyoomi vs. a public trash can, one memory at a time.

    Summary

    "Stupid Deku."

    Those were the last words Midoriya Izuku heard just before his childhood friend, before Bakugou Katsuki sacrificed his life for him. Now, months later, with All for One gone, those words still echo in his head. And as a full-fledged hero Izuku vows to never be that weak again. But when a newborn baby is abandoned on his doorstep, Izuku wonders what he should do: give it to another family or keep it.

    And here's another question he can't seem to answer: why does the baby remind him so much of his dead friend?
