Summary
“Anyway, I must insist,” he waves his long list beside his head, “You’ve provided me with more than a few suggestions.” Zhongli acknowledges this with an incline of his head and Childe continues, “Besides that, it would set a bad precedent.”
Zhongli’s pleasant neutral expression adopts a slightly pinched confused look, “A bad precedent?”
Childe nods, smiling for the upteenth time, humming an affirmative. He pauses to turn off one of the lamps, reaching up to feel for the valve. “I would like,” the light dims and then flickers out as he turns the valve closed, “to hire you on as a cultural advisor, at least for the beginning of my stay here.” He turns back to Zhongli, his eyes still adjusting to the dark so that all he can see are Zhongli’s bright irises, “I think visiting all these places will be much more exciting and informative with you there to tell me about them.”
-
or: how Childe and Zhongli grew closer during Childe's first few months in Liyue, and how Zhongli betrays that trust. -

Summary
When Jason takes his first breath after dying, seven other people take a breath at the same time. He’s still half-dead and won’t be himself until he’s gone crazy with green-tinted madness and dragged himself back from it. But he tastes grave dirt. He also tastes the muggy air of Gotham, chai, an ocean breeze, bitter coffee, burnt sesame oil, cherry lip gloss, and toothpaste. Somehow the sensations are all separate despite the fact that they’re happening at the same time.
Maybe the shock of it is part of what puts him into a coma. Part of what keeps him wandering and confused for a year, chasing sounds and smells that don’t exist to anyone else. It isn’t until he surfaces from the lazarus pit that he remembers that first breath and takes another one.
Things move much quicker after that.
--
or: Jason Todd dies and then he, Tim Drake, Cassandra Cain, Damian Wayne, Stephanie Brown, Dick Grayson, Duke Thomas, and Barbara Gordon form a (Sense8-inspired) psychic connection. None of them know what's going on. It's slightly frightening and confusing but also- it's better than being alone. This maybe saves all of them. -

Summary
Dean is never gentle with himself, and rarely gentle with other things. His brother (sometimes), his weapons (if he’s not attacking), children, photographs, glass bottles when he sets them down, fruit when he’s picking it up, sexual partners just before he leaves (if they’re asleep). It’s tiny moments that only add up to a single year out of Dean’s thirty-three. And never with himself. He’s not gentle with his wounds, or cleanliness, or this.
When Dean takes himself in hand, it’s roughly. If Castiel was in his vessel, he would force gentleness on Dean. He thinks he could make him cry from it. And it would be beautiful because Dean’s eyes always get brighter with tears, and when he’s not clenching his jaw through it he makes soft sounds that would mix well with pleasure.
--
aka, if Castiel can look everywhere in two seconds… how else might he spend his time? I think: watching Dean Winchester. -

Summary
"...I didn't wake you up, did I?"
"Ah, no," says Xinyan, "you did, but it was nice. I didn't mind one bit."
Barbara laughs, "Well, as long as you don't mind."
Xinyan smiles back, and it's sharp like it was last night. She asks, "What's not to like?"
Barbara answers, "Plenty, but you won't catch me telling you the details."
She wonders if this is flirting.
--
aka, Barbara and Xinyan's first meeting (sparks fly, water evaporates, etc., etc. except that it's all pretty tame, even if Barbara is stressing herself out about it and already half-in-love). -

Summary
“Honestly, Potter, it’s like you’ve never even read Hogwarts, A History.”
For some reason, Potter finds this riotously funny.
And so there they stand, in the empty hallway, Potter bent nearly double in his laughter, just to Draco’s left so that their wrists are nearly touching.
It’s surreal.
Eighth Year has proven so much different than Draco ever could have imagined, he thinks, amazed, as he openly stares at Wonder Boy.
Draco and Harry are cursed during class, forced to remain within five feet of each other or else feel the burning consequences. It's going to uproot their lives for an entire month unless their friends can figure out a countercurse.
Draco's prepared to grit his teeth and survive, though he doesn't expect anything good to come of it...
Featuring: forced proximity, too much empathy and infuriating friends.

Summary
For the record, Ajax was not at all opposed to being sent on missions as another Harbinger's backup. As long as he was given things to fight and the rest of the tasks were not excruciatingly boring to get through, Tartaglia would comply without issues.
The actual mission, the actual tasks, the actual experience of being the backup was not the issue here.
The issue was-...He was the only Harbinger being tasked with things like these. The only Harbinger being designated as backup. The only Harbinger being treated like a class below the rest.
(Because Tartaglia was rash and reckless and could not be trusted to keep himself safe.
Tartaglia was to be looked after like an unpredictable rabid animal that only behaved under certain conditions.Tartaglia was off.)
---
Or, Childe struggles to understand why the Tsaritsa insists on treating him differently from the other Harbingers, and tries to pretend like his affiliations aren't irrevocably shifting towards the mysterious god he meets in Liyue.
