    Summary

    Duncan reaches up to cup Paul’s face; he brushes a thumb over Paul’s cheek. He tilts Paul’s face this way and that.

    “You look like you never sleep.”

    Paul can barely breathe. He doesn’t know what to say. He hasn't slept, not well, anyway. He wakes up early or in fits in the night, and he can never escape those strange dreams. They’re getting harder to shake during the day.

    Duncan’s hand drops away.

    “You can stay with me,” Duncan offers. “Anytime you need. Tonight, if you want. If it will help you sleep.”

    ***

    Paul has trouble sleeping. More accurately, he has trouble with his dreams. Duncan Idaho notices something off with his boy, and he offers Paul a place to stay. Paul only has to take him up on it.

    Summary

    For Sunday, Memoria had been an integral part of his life. In truth, he had spent so many years in a field of Memoria, in a Dreamscape, that he knew it better then the reality he has now been thrust into. Or, at least, that's what he thought to be the case.

    For Blade, memories are bitter, striking him with anger, making him lose himself to what he once was, what he still yearns to be deep within himself. Forgetting fully is impossible, as they fill his mind again and again. Yet when they are thrust completely before him, that too, feels just as unbearable.

    Blade and Sunday are sent to neutralize a rogue Stellaron corrupting a Memoria Field. It doesn't go terribly well for either of them.

    Summary

    Yes, he supposed the physicality of the situation was somewhat distracting but Izuku couldn’t say it was bad so much as it was just… there. He actually wasn’t opposed to the sensation of someone being there, pressed against his body, their heat seeping against him even when he wasn’t cold.
    It was just … strange. Nice. Peculiar.
    Alright, Izuku, there’s no need to break out the dictionary for fuck’s sake.

    Or,

    A quirk accident binds Izuku and Shota together, mind and body, and Izuku tries to convince himself he doesn't like it. Spoiler alert, he really fucking likes it. It's a good thing Shota isn't all that opposed.

    Summary

    The thing Steve Harrington fears most about Billy Hargrove?

    It's not the temper, not the violent streak of cruelty, not the way he makes the omega's heart race. What really scares Steve about the new alpha in Hawkins is the way he makes Steve honest.

    Or, Steve Harrington has been pretending to be a beta since freshman year but then Billy Hargrove comes into town and figures him out. To both of their embarrassment, Steve has no idea how to be an omega.

    Good thing they’ve got other shit to deal with.

    Summary

    Jaskier has zero intention of sharing the degrading experience of getting tortured. Ever. He’ll bury the memories and someday they’ll be as scabbed over as Caingorn was.

    Which had been completely, absolutely, fine. And the only reason that wound is bleeding a little now is because fucking Geralt came out of nowhere—after the most humiliating experience of his entire life—and reopened the fucking thing. But that’s fine because he’ll leave and return to the terror of his smuggling work and forget about Geralt all over again. There’s nothing hard drink and the constant danger of execution won’t get his mind off. Because there’s something therapeutic about fearing for one’s life that makes anything not of immediate concern go away.

    So yes, things were just fine before Geralt showed up.

    Two years post-Caingorn, Geralt rescues Jaskier from prison and sends him with Ciri to Kaer Morhen. However, Geralt suspects Jaskier is hiding serious trauma.
