Borderlands | ain’t nothing in this world for free | 9.5k | T | Rhys/Zer0
Zer0 wasn’t entirely sure why they had given Rhys their number but, regardless, it was too late to take it back. “It is for business,” Zer0 said quickly, hoping their embarrassment was hidden well enough behind the blank slate of their helmet “Professional inquiries, you understand, Rhys.” Rhys and Zer0 go on a series of totally-not-dates, packed with murder, road-trips, shiny guns, karaoke, and Ikea furniture. Or: the five times Rhys called Zer0 to spend time together under the pretence of a job, and the one time Zer0 finally became fed up enough to call Rhys out on it.
Borderlands | In One Ear | 4.5k | T | Rhys/Zer0
“So, you mean to tell me,” [Maya] said quietly, feeling a headache coming on “That a close friend of yours has been in a relationship for practically a year now, and none of you noticed?” As Zer0 and Rhys come up on their one-year anniversary, Maya attempts to organize a surprise party amongst their friends and fellow Vault Hunters. Unbeknownst to her and the happy couple, however, no one else seems to have actually figured out that Rhys and Zer0 are together. Or: the five times people seemed to come to the completely wrong conclusion about the nature of Zer0 and Rhys’ relationship.
Borderlands | Rest For The Wicked | 3.7k | T | Athena/Janey, Rhys/Zer0
If asked, Athena and Zer0 would hesitate to call what they had a friendship. For one thing, absolutely nobody would ever ask. Athena and Zer0 had been acquainted long before anybody had started seriously calling themselves Vault Hunters, and as far as the other Vault Hunters were aware, not a word had ever passed between the two of them. This was nearly true.
But, sometimes, despite the vastness of the universe, the two assassins crossed paths. When they did, all it took was a silent nod of mutual understanding for them to find themselves sharing a booth and a bottle of suspiciously paint-thinner-like booze in amicable silence, comforted slightly by the presence of someone who just got it without needing to ever say a word.
This did not last.
Zer0 and Athena meet up several times over the course of the Borderlands series and slowly learn the value of giving a shit
Borderlands | Say the Word (and I will turn around and run to you) | 3.2k | T | Rhys/Zer0
It was hard to imagine the difficult times when there were times like this. But, of course, Zer0 eventually left again, as they always did. Rhys tries (and mostly fails) to cope with the realities of dating a Vault Hunter.
Borderlands | What Makes Us Human | 1.8k | G | FL4K & Zer0 (Gen)
“Your allies call you ‘he’ and ‘him’,” FL4K stated matter-of-factly, “Yet your species has no concept of gender. […] So why bother?“ Zer0 sheathed their sword. “I do not bother. I let them make assumptions,” Zer0’s helmet flashed with a [¯\_(ツ)_/¯]. “And they assumed wrong.” FL4K and Zer0 discuss their different relationships to gender, and other dumb human inventions.
Borderlands | A Proper Reception | 1.7k | T | Hammerlock/Jakobs
Having returned to the lodge, covered in blood and officially married, Wainwright and Sir Hammerlock are surprised to find that their wedding guests arrived while they were away
Chainsaw Man | Testament | 2.9k | T | Aki & Denji & Power

Chainsaw Man | snarl and rattle | 3.6k | T | Aki & Denji
“Why did you eat it if you knew it would make you sick?” A stupid question to ask, Aki realized. “You made it for dinner, ‘course I was gonna eat it.” ... Denji still eats like he's starving. Aki adapts.
Danganronpa | Treading Water | 3k | T | Mondo/Taka
When Junko Enoshima was first setting out the rules for her ultimate killing game, the part that caused her the most trouble was, surprisingly, figuring out how long it should take to execute her failed killers. Of course, her first instinct was to have them executed immediately. Would that not cause the most agonizing despair? Or, on the other hand, would that just be ripping off the band-aid? Would it not be better, then, to peel it off slowly, reveling in the pain of individual hairs being plucked from still-tender skin? It was a promising thought. For better or for worse, Mondo Owada and Kiyotaka Ishimaru are given the time to say goodbye.
Danganronpa | Promise Me A Place | 6.6k | T | Mondo/Taka
“I don’t think these are regular dreams,” Kyoko said in her usual even tone. “That’s what I was saying,” Yasuhiro added “They’re visions.” Kyoko quirked a brow, gloved hand resting on her chin. “Well, either all of us are psychic and the dead can come back to life, or…” she paused deliberately, raising her eyes to meet the gaze of everyone at the table “… these are our school memories.” Kiyotaka Ishimaru had survived the killing game and was now, along with his remaining classmates, under the protection of the Future Foundation. However, in addition to his usual nightmares, Kiyotaka has started having dreams about his dead friends that he cannot explain…
Danganronpa | a cold night close to the end | 1.8k | Mondo/Taka
On the night before the second class trial, with his hands only freshly washed of blood, Mondo finds himself unable to go back to his room alone. He spends the night with Taka instead, and secrets are revealed.
Doctor Who | I Can’t Hold You Tomorrow (but I hold you in my hearts) | 4.9k | T | Doctor/Rose, Doctor/River, Doctor/Yaz
He said a lot of things that night. You’re getting married in the morning. I’m nine hundred and seven years old. I don’t get older, this can’t ever work. You’re human. All of them true, but not quite right.
“Oh, you are sweet, Doctor,” Amy had said, and the heat in her voice still made his stomach clench with anxiety at the thought of it “But I really wasn’t suggesting anything quite so long-term.”
I don’t think I have ever felt the way you’re feeling right now he should’ve said instead.
…
An exploration of the Doctor’s asexuality told in snapshots, across their different adventures, relationships, and regenerations.
Good Omens | but still there was no rest for me | 2.5k | T | Aziraphale/Crowley
Of course, Crowley had almost never purposely caused the atrocities he’d received commendations for over the millennia. It just wasn’t his style. Aziraphale would say he was too good, yet every time – when blood began to spill and smoke choked the air - Crowley could still feel the angel’s questioning gaze on the back of his neck. The familiar words would come, unprompted. It wasn’t me, angel. There isn’t a thing I can do to them that they don’t do themselves already, but with a nastier imagination. That didn’t mean he wasn’t responsible. As the Great War wages on, Crowley begins to worry that his demonic presence may be having unintended effects on human history. To ease his guilt, and perhaps even end the war, Crowley travels across the Atlantic to the port of Halifax, only to find himself once again immersed in the worst of human suffering.
MCU (Avengers) | we need to fetch back the time they have stolen from us | 6.4k | T | Thor & Loki (Gen)
“How can we trust you?” the Captain demanded, stepping in front of Bruce and advancing uncomfortably close. “After everything you did in New York?” His cold eyes were a stark reminder to Loki that this was not the same man he had fought against what seemed like a lifetime ago. “I don’t think you have much of a choice.” AU where Loki lives to die another day. Snapshots from Thor and Loki’s experience of Infinity War.
MCU (Avengers) | can’t bring back what’s taken from me | 1.7k | T | Thor & Loki (Gen)
In the aftermath of Infinity War, Thor watches from the plains of Wakanda as, one by one, his friends come back to life, and he accepts that some things just can’t be undone.
For the first time in years, Thor lets himself grieve. An Infinity War fix-it (sort of)
MCU (Loki Series) | A Passing Mood | 800 | G | Loki & Sylvie (Gen)
“I’ve seen you in the memories of TVA agents –”
“I’ve been on a streak,” Loki said defensively.
“A man streak?”
“If you like.” Loki smiled as Sylvie scoffed at him. “When you live as long as we do, a few years is just a passing mood.”
On a train at the end of the world, Loki and Sylvie talk about their different relationships to gender.
MCU (Spider-Man) | Universal Constants | 1k | T | Peter & Peter & Peter (Gen)
In which Peter Parker has had the chance to move on after Gwen’s death, and has something to share with his counterparts from other universes.

Mob Psycho 100 | the only certain things in life | 10.6k | T | Reigen/Serizawa
“Yeah, I guess it’s true, we haven’t –” Reigen barely hesitated before Serizawa was finishing his sentence for him. “– Filed taxes?” Serizawa suggested, another nervous glance in Mob’s direction. Reigen would’ve rolled his eyes clear out of his skull if he weren’t so anxious himself. “Fine, yeah. Sure. We haven’t filed taxes yet. So?” Serizawa smiled a bit, clearly grateful for the indirect route. He visibly swallowed, throat bobbing as he steeled himself. “Sorry,” Serizawa said, “it just didn’t occur to me. I’ve never... filed taxes before.” Reigen wanted to scream. ... Reigen is asexual and has no interest in sex. Serizawa is inexperienced, and isn't too sure about what he wants himself yet. Instead of talking about it like adults, they decide to keep everything to themselves and just guess what the other person's expectations of their relationship might be. As you can expect, this goes swimmingly.
The Old Guard | the castles of time we built up straight (just to run out of room and build sideways) | 3.4k | T | Andy & Nile, Joe/Nicky
“It’s hard to explain to you now,” Nicky said carefully “but once you get comfortable speaking more than one language, you find that you have a different… personality when speaking each one. You reach for different languages at different times. They have their own character, you could say.” “Believe it or not,” Joe chimed in “I am even funnier in Italian.” “He is not,” Nicky refuted without missing a beat. … In her first few months as an immortal, Nile Freeman learns some new languages, and learns even more about her new family in the process. Andy especially.
The Old Guard | I couldn’t ever tell you to your face (that I’ve only been pretending to enjoy this place) | 4k | T | Booker & Nile & Joe & Nicky, Joe/Nicky
When Booker’s sentence of a hundred years’ exile was handed down, it was with the unspoken acknowledgement that he would see them again before his time was up. For no matter the severity of the crime, no matter how deep the betrayal, they all knew they could not deny one of their own the ability to grieve together when one of their number passed. The countdown to the end of Booker’s exile slowly ticked down, synchronized against the beating of Andy’s newly-mortal heart. Booker had been exiled only seventeen years when he received the call. … Booker finally reunites with his family after Andy’s death.
The Old Guard | Act of Creation | 2.3k | T | Nile & Andy & Joe & Nicky, Joe/Nicky
“We can’t get sunburns?” Nile didn’t entirely mean to, but she looked at Nicky across the table when she said it, the palest immortal of the three of them there. “Sun damage happens so gradually,” he said with a casual shrug “and we heal so quickly. We don’t have a chance to burn.” Nile nodded. That made sense. But, wait – her head stilled, expression turning into a frown. … After Andy gets her first sunburn in millennia, Nile begins to question the rules of her new immortality. There are no easy answers.

Samurai Flamenco | and I can see the great glowing coils of the universe unwinding | 2.5k | T | Masayoshi/Goto
It wasn’t a perfect life, but after everything it still seemed too good to be true. Masayoshi swore he could feel the universe still bending around him, but now it was coiling tighter, squeezing, making it harder and harder for him to catch his breath. All he could do in the face of an unknowable universe was push. The thing with prodding the universe, however, is that it is indistinguishable from being reckless. After the events of the series, Masayoshi begins to doubt his happy ending and tests his place in the universe. Luckily, Goto is there to pick up the pieces.
Samurai Flamenco | you know you’re an angel; you know we’ll get through | 1.6k | T | Mari/Moe
"I’m happy just being with you, however long you let me.” “Let you? Let you?” Mari raised her voice to an angry pitch, but she wasn’t angry at Moe. Not really. “That isn’t – that isn’t how this works.” “Isn’t it?” Moe’s voice held no malice, only innocent confusion, which only hurt more. At Masayoshi and Goto’s wedding reception, Mari finds herself confronted with worries about her own future - and Moe’s place within it.
Samurai Flamenco | In The Kind of World Where We Belong | 8.6k | T | Masayoshi/Goto
Masayoshi may not officially be the president of the world anymore, but that doesn’t mean the title hasn’t followed him since. A few years after the events of the series, Masayoshi finds himself on a promotional world tour, promoting peace and justice across each continent. The only problem? He’s been strongly encouraged to keep his relationship with Goto under wraps so as to not “distract” from his message. Not one to stir up conflict with management (at least not intentionally), Masayoshi goes along with it. However, the longer the tour goes on, the more strained Masayoshi and Goto’s relationship becomes…
Samurai Flamenco | to everything there is a season | 4.4k | T | Masayoshi/Goto

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine | Second Chances | 8.8k | T | Ezri/Kira, Julian/Garak
If the Prophets themselves had emerged from the Celestial Temple several years ago just to tell Kira Nerys she would one day be upset at the prospect of Dr. Julian Bashir leaving Deep Space Nine, she might’ve just had a crisis of faith. Yet, here she was on this surprisingly solemn occasion, sitting with Ezri at Quark’s, just to get as many familiar faces in one place as she could. … After Julian’s departure from Deep Space Nine, Kira tries to help Ezri with the resulting break-up, while trying not to think about what this might mean for her own feelings for her friend.
Star Trek: The Next Generation | Anachronism | 3.5k | T | Data/Geordi

Supernatural | you will still be here tomorrow (but your dreams may not) | 5.4k | T | Jack & His Family, Castiel/Dean
“I won’t be hands on. Chuck put himself in the story. That was his mistake. But I learned from you, and my mother, and Castiel that… when people have to be their best… they can be. And that’s what to believe in.” “But what about you? Is that really what you want?” Dean’s question gave the newborn God pause. The serene expression on his face folded a little in confusion, head tilting just a little to the side. He looked so much like Cas when he did that, Dean had always thought, but now the sight made something clench in his chest. “I don’t understand,” God replied, and wasn’t that just the damnedest thing? God, a child standing in the middle of the road, knowing both everything and nothing at all? Jack struggles to figure out his new role as God, determined not to turn out like Chuck. Luckily, he has his family to help him through it.
Supernatural | like the holding of hands, like the breaking of glass | 3k | T | Castiel/Dean
Dean was different in Purgatory. He had always been a man that operated mostly on instinct, and it was only amplified here. There was no time for second-guessing in Purgatory, no time for petty human doubts or crises of morality. You did everything you could to survive, or you didn’t. When Dean was threatened with violence, he met it with the same. When he was tired, he slept. And when Dean needed comfort, needed someone to soothe his raw soul – he took it. Cas hadn’t been aware of all the arbitrary human rules that had existed between them until Purgatory had torn them down. Cas lets himself fall into a doomed relationship in Purgatory, believing that it will be the last time he will ever see Dean. When Cas reunites with Dean after his mysterious escape, he finds out that what was easy before has become lot more complicated.
Supernatural | Give Me a Reason to Carry On | 3.8k | T | Castiel/Dean
Dean was pressed awkwardly against a wooden support beam, his feet not quite flat on the floor. Cas was reminded of hanged men from those old cowboy movies Dean had made him watch, of bodies reaching fruitlessly for stable ground, stuck in suspended air. Dean’s eyes widened as he finally spotted Cas over Sam’s shoulder. “Cas?” Dean’s voice was rough and wet with blood, staining his teeth crimson. Sam turned at the sound, looking at Cas with the same slack-jawed expression. But there was no time for greetings, no time for explanations. Not now. … In one of his first acts as God, Jack pulls Castiel from the Empty, but Cas is reluctant to return to Earth and face the consequences of his confession. But when Dean finds himself in danger and sends out an involuntary prayer, Cas can’t help but reveal himself, forcing them both to pick up where they’d left off.
Venom | Table for Two, Dinner for One | 1.6k | T | Eddie/Venom

Welcome to Night Vale | this is the only way we know time works | 1.3k | T | Cecil/Carlos
“Rough day at work?” Cecil asked knowingly, turning to glance to his side as he put the car in gear. Carlos stared at him through his fringe, giving him a defeated smile. “You can say that.” Cecil and Carlos go home after the death of yet another intern. Set after the Welcome to Night Vale novel.
