Summary
Shane whined, high and strained. He tried to push up on his forearms, but the machine’s next thrust drove him back down, his forehead rubbing against the carpet.
Ilya crouched down, bringing his face level with Shane’s. He reached out and brushed a sweat-damp strand of hair from Shane’s forehead, the touch deceptively soft. His lips curved into a knowing smirk.
“Well,” Ilya said, his voice calm, almost conversational. “What a pretty picture.”
or
Ilya gives Shane time to himself for some real honest self reflection.

Summary
Lily remembered her sister, how there had been a time she was curious and delighted about magic, before it slowly sank in that she could look and not touch.
The last thing Petunia had said to Lily before she died was a chilly goodbye, ending a holiday dinner where they'd had a shrieking row in the entryway. Petunia had said 'freak' and Lily had hissed 'better than this, better than this being my whole fucking world, Tune, do you even see yourself, are you happy--'
And now here was Dudley Vernon Dursley fussing himself to sleep as Lily walked the halls of the Godric's Hollow house. His tiny soft hands with their tiny soft fingernails curled under her chin, the same way Harry's always had.
She passed James, who was gently bouncing his way up the hall the opposite way. "I think he's asleep," James mouthed over Harry's tousled head. His hair was the same mess, his head bent down as he peered at his sleeping son.
Lily stopped where she stood, her nephew heavy on her chest, her husband smiling, her sister buried. "James," she said. "How are we going to do this?"

Summary
set during episode 1x107. vax says goodbye to gilmore.
“If you want to tell someone in person," Keyleth says, "we can go there. Since we’re up so early, we’ll probably be back before anyone else is even out of bed.” She’s looking up at him with wide eyes, like she’s trying to will him to realize something. “Like, someone in Emon, maybe...?” She raises her eyebrows. Vax wants to laugh. She’s never been good at subtlety.
“I don’t know,” Vax says quietly. “Seems like every time I go to see him it’s to ruin his day.”
“He’d want to know, though,” Keyleth says, propping herself up on her elbow. “He loves you.”
“He shouldn’t,” Vax says.
“Maybe none of us should, but we do,” Keyleth replies.
