Summary
When the game dumps you on your ass on the thin carpet of your living room and you realize that there are not one but two other groaning human bodies tangled up in the small space between the tv and the futon, not even your incipient universe-restoration migraine can suppress the sudden bubble of elation that threatens to burst your ribcage like a party balloon.

You have to do that for yourself.

Summary
He’s got the same kind of accent Grandpa Jim had, that Aunt Esther and Auntie Leba have, the same Brooklyn tones that linger in the way James and his sister speak too. Not a lot of New Yorkers sound that way anymore. It was a struggle for James to hold onto it in the Army, to keep himself from sounding like he was from nowhere, the way everyone else sounds to him. His hair is a pale blonde. His eyes are blue, the kind of blue they make crayons in. Cornflower blue. He’s got pale skin, and ruddy freckles across the top of his nose and his cheekbones. He’s in color.

Summary
Ah yes, conventions were the way to go when you wanted to connect with your fans one on one. It was always amusing to see what kind of questions fans came up with. Fascinating how, knowing you may as well have only a single chance to ask your idol something, could procure questions with the answer something the fan desired at heart. It showed just what fans noticed, and what they cared about. It was usually one of my favorite parts, for the answering portion was somehow so clinically mechanical, a form of social surgery. One answer could be the make or break of a fan.
But then again, I could just be dramatic. Or I could be wrong. It may be the make or break of me.

Summary
The funeral was on a Wednesday.
Funerals were never a big deal on the Ark. Bellamy can count the number of funerals he went to on one hand, because they only did any celebration if the person who passed was someone of importance. Even then, he didn’t care about anyone they were mourning, but instead he looked at the clock, counting the moments until it was over. Then, when they were on the Ground, the original 100 died one after another, they didn’t have time for any fanfare.
So this is the first funeral Bellamy is a part of that makes him feel like someone’s punched a whole in his chest. Echo’s standing near him, close enough so he can pretend she’s touching him, but even she is afraid to be near him. His entire family are doing nothing more than staring at him, or the ground, or the gravestone. They feel fragmented as well, hovering around each other as if afraid to go anywhere near. Near each other, near the other Grounders.
Near the empty grave.
~~~~~~~
Upon landing in the new world, it seemed like humanity finally had a chance at peace. When suddenly something is taken from them, Bellamy and crew must find a way to navigate this new world when it feels like it's falling apart.

Summary
Stephen Strange was never offered Mastery of the New York Sanctum. Instead, he somehow finds himself wandering the world, searching out magic and occasionally (usually) trouble. Although he does return to Kamar-Taj semi-regularly to teach classes and get yelled at by Wong for poor library etiquette.
So how on earth does he keep running into Tony Stark?
(And it's definitely not his fault that Stark is convinced that he's some sort of supervillain.)

“We can go to – I dunno, where do you want to go?”
Clint stared silently, half wondering if Stark was being serious or if he was just being Stark. “Cancun.” He tried.
Stark clutched his heart (devoid of chestplate). “The best you can come up with is Cancun? Dream a little bigger, darling.”
Clint narrowed his eyes. “Don’t make Inception references.”

That Awkward Moment When You Accidently Call A Rogue Mom by faithms

Summary
Hood snickers beside him while Robin lets out a snort.
Their amusement does not spread, however, considering the other two in this confrontation are frozen and staring at each other in growing horror as Red Robin and Harley both consider the implications of what this means.
Accidently calling a villain ‘Mom’ would usually just be a small thing to laugh at, but not when she recognizes the voice calling her that due to a previously very bad interaction between the two.
Like the time Joker and Harley Quinn kidnapped 12 year old Timothy Drake and electrotherapied him into thinking he was Joker Junior and that they were his parents before he inevitably ended up shooting the Joker point blank in the head, instantly killing him.

Summary
Having a family of his own was a dream Elijah had thought dead with his humanity, but the machinations of a coven of witches proved him otherwise. In the decades he spent plotting vengeance against Nicklaus, he gained everything he had wanted when he was just a man - a wife and son to call his own.
And now that his siblings were awake, Elijah had everything he needed to be happy within his grasp
If not for the actions of his brother.
Elijah had once thought that there was only one thing that he could not forgive Niklaus for. That is, until he took an interlude from the drama of Mystic Falls and his awakened siblings, only to find that his little brother had found his wife and child before he could return to them.
Klaus had committed no act so heinous that Elijah could not forgive. Until now.

or, How Tim Drake Found A Family, Became A Photojournalist, Learned To Love Coffee, and Grew Up, not necessarily in that order.
Tim Drake is thirteen, runs the famous BatWatch blog that has spiraled hilariously out of control, has absentee parents that suit his purposes just fine, is training himself to run the streets at night, and is doing absolutely peachy, thank you.
Alfred and Jason disagree, and get Dick and Bruce involved in figuring out their weird nextdoor neighbor kid’s life. Everything goes uphill from there.

Based on this prompt:
Because of his reputation (which initally came from nowhere) men have always assumed Kirk is a sure thing and have never tried to seduced Kirk... just used the old wham, bam thank you ma'am (or sir in this case)and have rarely bothed about his pleasure. (...)
(...)So suddenly Kirk finds himself being courted by Spock... at first Kirk thinks it is Spock trying to mess with his mind because Spock is still pissed about the 'cheating' incident but is soon disabused of that notion and he finds himself in his first loving, committed relationship in his life.

Summary
“Oh,” Stiles said, his voice coming out low and breathy, “fuck me.”
“I don’t think that’s on the syllabus, but we can check to see if there’s a spot open in any of his classes,” Scott said, grinning.
“This isn’t an actual professor, though,” Stiles insisted, unable to resist brushing his thumb over the sharp line of the man’s bearded jaw. He was laughing at something off-camera, the shot taken in three-quarters view, his coat collar casually rumpled and opened to reveal a sliver of a simple grey t-shirt. The whole thing was deliberately calculated to lend him a more accessible feel, and god help him, Stiles was falling for it.
*
When Stiles signed up for Dr. Hale’s intro to history class, he had two goals: knock out the credits his advisor was bugging him to complete before he graduated, and spend a few hours a week daydreaming about his sexy professor’s salt and pepper beard.
Derek, a few months away from turning forty and not sure when his life had started feeling so damn lonely, had never encountered someone like Stiles before. Bright-eyed, sharp-tongued, determined to throw Derek’s carefully cultivated world into disarray…and absolutely the last person Derek should be falling in love with.

John should’ve left already.
He willed himself to go. Get up, get moving. Would be so easy to gather his feet under him. Hell, there was a horse grazing in eyeshot, one of many they’d shot the Pinkerton off the back of. No Old Boy, but still. He could ride down to Copperhead Landing, no fuss. Gather Abigail, Jack, get the hell out of New Hanover.
He couldn’t leave Arthur. The thought settled in his stomach like a weight, tethering him to the ground below him.
