One last breath, 'til the tears start to wither by thepatchmatrix

Summary
Chase almost pauses, almost lets his steps falter, knees crumble, body fold into itself to protect the wound throbbing to his heartbeat. Wants to turn around and find a dark corner to curl himself into and never leave. Craves stumbling forward and demanding a hug from his older brothers and the family he’s found himself in Rescue.
It’s been terrifying, spending the night with a gun to his head, blood on his hands, and a dead man under his care.
~
Chase has always been seen as the irresponsible Gallagher brother, the one most likely to spend a work-night out on the town and show up in a rumpled uniform from the day before. If only he was so lucky.After a night spent as a hostage, Chase doesn't get a chance to explain himself when he stumbles into the squad house just before his shift. And his day only gets shittier from there.

Summary
Things have been good— besides some lingering regret over not killing Shroud and the careful consolidating of corporatizing Mecha Man with dispatch work, Robert’s been alright. Hell, he even bought a bed recently.
Things spiral pretty quickly when he’s a victim of some sort of bizarro mugging and gets turned into a cat. Surprisingly, it doesn’t even rank in the top ten worst experiences of his life.

Summary
Robert Robertson had grown used to the Z-team's constant HR violations, and what they discussed during work hours. So a game of Fuck, Marry, Kill about fellow superheroes during break time isn't too out of the ordinary.
What he isn't used to is what they have to say about Mecha Man.

Summary
Inspired from a post made by wheeloffortune-design on tumblr.
Tired of his lonely kitchen in Yavanna's Garden, Bilbo Baggins wonders if the dwarven love of being underground is true in death. If so, maybe his dwarves are living (ha ha) under the very land Bilbo is weeding.
With that thought, Bilbo goes and asks Hamfast for a shovel.
