Summary
Be kind to yourself, Cassie says in his head, soft and gentle. But Frank can’t. There is no world in which he can be kind to a version of himself that hurts Robby, especially sober. He’s supposed to be better now; he’s spent ten months clawing his way back inch by inch to being a person instead of a loose collection of hurts and cravings and spikes that pierced anyone nearby. But it seems that the version of himself that can connect with Robby, see eye-to-eye with him, talk to him without feeling like a gut punch, died the day of Pittfest last year.
--
Three conversations between Langdon and Robby, after Langdon's return.

Summary
The wind changes and blows the smell of death right into Trevor’s face. He suppresses a gag.
“Something has happened with Alucard,” Sypha deduces, her hand still clasped over her nose.
Trevor chances another look at the scantily-clad corpses fluttering about in the wind like a pair of scarecrows on Alucard’s doorstep.
“...Dare I say you may be onto something, Sypha.”

Summary
When a man manifests in a flash of blue light at the center of their laboratory Jayce raises his arm to shield his eyes. Viktor is wearing dark lensed safety goggles, so he’s able to recognize the face immediately. The man shifts his giant hammer in his gloved hands and scans the lab with a serious expression. When his gaze lands on Viktor, his blue eyes go wide.

Summary
"It’s warm, he thinks, floating through the arcane in Jayce’s arms. Somehow here and not, between places, an existence and not at the same time like dust carried on the wind or the precipice between sleep and waking. He’d be satisfied if this was his end.
And then, like tumbling from a cliff’s edge, he wakes with a gasp.
And the world has not ended."
Or; Viktor wakes up in a cabin surrounded by ice. Jayce is there, too.

Summary
It had all started when Aventurine asked Ratio for "monthly cooperation calls". The Doctor, of course, didn't take them too seriously.
As time passed and calls continued, the only separation of their intimacy was a thin phone screen.
It was not until the tragic events of Penacony, that Ratio realized he had taken all of their calls for granted.
(I.e. Aventurine falls first, Ratio falls harder. But by then, was it too late?)

Summary
“You’re being more amenable than usual,” Ratio says, carefully, warning bells blaring. “Perhaps you should be feverish more often.”
Is Doctor Ratio flirting?
Aventurine should laugh. Any previous thoughts of seeing Doctor Ratio flirt had involved chalk and terrible mathematical pick-up lines. This? Well, it was relatively smooth.
But he doesn’t laugh.
Or, after encountering some strange magic on a mission with Ratio, Aventurine wakes not only with a sister but also the title of "Prince". And apparently he's engaged to Ratio. What luck.

Summary
“Kaveh, come on, I didn’t mean—”
Kaveh cleared his voice, “Yes you did,” he kept his gaze fixed on the wooden flooring, “my fault for assuming you had any sense of empathy, God forbid you treat me kindly for once, right?” he trailed off with a bitter laugh, shutting the clasps on Mehrak before taking a decisive step towards the front door.
“What? I was just sharing my opinion—I simply think you’d be happier if—”
“Yeah? Well, I didn't ask for it! God, you are so cold and critical sometimes I wonder if you actually love me.”

Summary
"Dance with me, Kaveh."
Kaveh expected Alhaitham to finally charge him of his bill, or maybe to charge him over other expenses that he missed and forgot to pay. ‘Dance with me’ was the last thing that Kaveh expected.
Years have passed since their first and last dance, which also means Kaveh already spent years secretly yearning for the chance to dance with Alhaitham again.
But now when his wish actually comes true, will Kaveh allow himself to fall into that intoxicating dance again?

Summary
“Welcome home, Mom,” Izuku plasters a smile on his face, and it’s the most plastic thing Hitoshi’s ever seen.
Inko doesn’t respond to her son, who clearly loves these boys more than her, and he shouldn’t, when she’s given up everything for him. He’s choosing these boys over her, choosing to use them in his little hero plot — she heard them after all; talking about winning the sports festival and joining heroics courses, and she’d listened to Izuku rambled about it enough when he was little to read between the lines and get a good idea that they were working together on that. Izuku must be planning on using them, even if he doesn’t realize it — since he can’t make it far without a Quirk to call his own.
So yes, it’s clear he loves them more than he loves her, despite all she’s done for him, but it’s not his fault he’s selfish, that he takes and takes, that all he ever does is use people. How can he do anything but, when he’s so weak, when he’s so fragile? That doesn’t mean she will reward him for his unfair behavior. She watches him for a moment, watches the way his expression falters and then crumples, and then she turns around and walks to her room, silent.

Kaveh accidentally ends a phone call with “I love you.” Alhaitham… deals with it.
