Summary
“I was a magistrate in the upper city before I was taken,” the elf said when they first met, his smile perfectly wide and eyes perfectly steady. They thought about the ease in which he swept them to the ground, the tips of fangs hidden behind his lips, the sunlit dagger flashing at his hip— and they also smiled, and let it slide.
“Sure. What a wonderfully reasonable occupation to have.”
Five times Astarion withholds the truth, and one time he does not.

Summary
When he is born, the world is overwhelming and assaulting, but nothing hurts more than Her slicing off the cord that ties them, and casting his fragile newborn body off Her plane.
On the dreams and desires of a heartless puppet, and what he undergoes for them.
(A 3.2 canon-compliant Scaramouche introspection)

Summary
“Recently, we received a tip about something going on in the forest. There’s been talk of a strange crying that comes only at night, not one of person or Pokemon, but that of weeping trees. A week later, rumours of a girl having gone in and never left began to surface.” Xingqiu’s voice turns low and muffled, like he’s covering his mouth, “We’ve tried going in, but the spirits haven’t been… cooperative. We were wondering if Director Hu could lend her expertise.”
The course of gentle waves against a lamplit boat, cyclical, comforting.

Summary
Illuminated by the glow of gold-scorched parchment, the harsh lines of Xiao’s face smoothen into confusion, then resignation. He takes a steadying breath. “You aren’t leaving.”
“I’m bound to you until I find you love,” Venti corrects.
“Yeah, so you aren’t leaving.”
“Wrong! I have a hot streak of success.” Venti claps his hands, the contract scrolling back up into non-existence. “Now that you understand, shall we start over? My name’s Venti, and I’m your assigned Cupid. Your wingman, if you will.”
“... Xiao.”
Or: Xiao is, maybe, a little in love with his Cupid. Venti does not catch on.

Summary
It’s customary for the people of Liyue to pitch in for the Mingxiao lantern. Even Xiao can acknowledge its opulent grandiosity—it’s a symbol of unity, a celestial body rivalling the full moon, a beacon guiding old warriors home. In the glittering wake of its trail, he finds reticent peace.
Now, however, he defers his gaze to the maiden on top of the church spire. “I fail to see how catching a ball of yarn is the main event of your festival.”
Xiao's convinced to attend Ludi Harpastum with Venti, and he can't help but make a few comparisons.

Summary
“How old are you?”
“What do you care?” is the hostile reply.
“Because I don’t remember agreeing to hire kids on the cleaning team.”
Peter Parker takes another bite of his sandwich and says, around a full mouth: “I’m just here for my community sentence.”
“Huh,” Tony says. “Why?”
“I spray painted ‘superheroes should go fuck themselves’ on the side of this building. Got caught.”
“Better luck next time, then. Were you in my lab yesterday?”
“I was in several labs,” says the kid dismissively.
“Did you mess with my calculations?”
“I corrected them, if that’s what you mean. Today is my last day, and the thought of leaving them up like that, half-assed, gave me angina. So, yeah, sue me.”

Summary
"A witch popped out of a rabbit hole in Central Park," Tony says. "Sorceress. Evil person. She was making inanimate objects come to life, there’s still trash cans running around Central Park, throwing beer cans at citizens, probably, Rhodey is wrangling them. Because with that suit of his, the hope is the trash cans might be persuaded to think of him as their supreme leader, or perhaps mother duck.”
Her impatience is making a rapid comeback. “Stick to the medically relevant information, please.”
“Kid says he was hit by a truth spell.”
“Yes,” Peter says. “I was hit by a truth spell.”Bookmarked by chivience

Summary
Peter is fine, anyways. His boss might fire him soon, the Avengers might arrest him soon, the principal might expel him soon, but none of it has happened yet. And his dad—
“You didn’t get my coffee,” his dad says, halfway through his burrito. He has been in a state of low, simmering irritation all evening, and apparently this is how long it took for him to find a reason to blame Peter for it.
“You didn’t tell me to get coffee.”
“Do you have eyes?”
“Yes,” Peter says. “I have eyes.”
“So you could have checked if we needed coffee without me telling you every little thing, Jesus Christ.”

Peter just wants to make it to sixteen so he can escape this life and strike out on his own. He has a plan and nothing will ruin it.
Not even Tony Stark quite literally crashing into his life.- Language:

Summary
“I know all about your secret identity.”
A beat of silence. “Um,” Peter said, bunching his sweater in his hands. “Which… which one?”
--
Peter has three secret identities: Spider-Man, the superhero who swings around the city to save people. Parker Benjamin, who gives Tony Stark unsolicited advice on his research. And NightMonkey, the Instagrammer who keeps uploading increasingly popular but embarrassing drawings of Iron Man.
And he can juggle them all just fine, thankyouverymuch.- Language:
