    Summary

    Rei knows he’s in love with Akai. It’s more a clinical assessment than anything else, a bias he needs to be aware of in order to address.

    And Akai, in turn, clearly feels the same way. He’s at least fond enough of Rei to invite him out on a Christmas date, and comfortable enough with him to joke about marriage.

    But it doesn’t matter that their affection is mutual.

    Because Rei’s true lover is Japan.

    And there’s no place for Akai if Rei wants to keep serving it.

    It’s not so simple for a spy to date a foreign agent.

    Summary

    It’s strange to Rei, that he’s somehow stumbled into an acquaintance with someone he can be something approaching genuine with. Strange that he’s found someone to share not his easy, mindless chatter, but more personal silences. He looks at Okiya, traces the way the moonlight falls across his cheek, the way it catches in his hair and streaks in slivers of silver and ivory. The train jostles; their knees touch. Neither of them moves apart.

    Or: Proven wrong about Okiya Subaru's identity, Rei finds himself increasingly letting his guard down around the man. What starts as innocent curiosity doesn't end there.

    Summary

    "He's acting fucking crazy," Gabriel continues breathily, wincing when Andrew has to jostle him to open the door to their getaway car. There's a moment when a shadow briefly flies above their heads, and for a second, the two of them hold their breaths.

    "Can you blame him?" Andrew whispers after a long while, "We killed his damn kid."

    Robin hadn't been seen in months.

    People are always curious.

    (The realisation of Batman being a father starts in Ethiopia.)

    Summary

    Benvolio Montague knows two things: He doesn’t share his family’s beliefs and he embarrasses his family.
    His family is Anti-Cybernetic. They hate what they are, and they think that attaching anything cybernetic to a person should be illegal. He doesn’t agree, and he doesn’t know of a single thing that could change his mind.
    He’s prone to being overwhelmed and anxious, though his family calls him “shy” and “a worry wort.” He hardly thinks that’s better, in fact he finds that more offensive than anything.
    He meets a boy, though: Mercutio Escalus. He’s about the only person that’s treated Benvolio like he has emotions that truly matter.
    Romeo grows distant, family bonds start getting taunt- and Benvolio falls in love. What he doesn’t know is that Romeo has too. The aftermath of it all may be something that the family may never recover from.

    Summary

    Corruption is as familiar to Zhongli as the backs of his own hands, shapes traced until he can feel the shift of them before they move. He knows what it feels like, knows what it sounds like, the neverending litany of your fault, your fault, your fault, except it isn’t Xiao’s fault, not when he looks at his watery reflection on the banks of Dihua Marsh and still sees dreams staining the mouth of a feral creature.
