Summary
Sherlock Holmes isn't a goldfish, and those who aren't goldfish don't have problems.
So why is everyone acting like he has?
Perhaps it's because in the aftermath of his relapse and Moriarty's reappearance, certain... cracks are beginning to show. A tracery of vulnerabilities. A map of breaks and scars. The possibility that all is not as placid within as Sherlock would like his loved ones to believe. But that doesn't mean there's anything wrong, far from it. That doesn't mean he has any problems, not at all.
And even if he had... Why would some part of him seem convinced that Molly Hooper can help?
That's the greatest mystery of all...

Summary
Stiles is basically doing fine. He's surviving, anyways. So what if it's a struggle to get out of bed most days? Back in high school, everything about the supernatural had seemed edgy and romantic and exhilarating, but after seeing everything he has, wanting to go back to ignorance is only natural. Only then Derek comes back to Beacon Hills and says he's in love with him, and everything changes.
For the worse.
-----------------
Stiles catches himself at the last minute and blinks hard, as if that might change the fact that, yes, the person sliding onto the stool next to him is Derek Hale. He’s more than back in Beacon Hills, he’s right at Stiles’ elbow. And fuck if the unbidden reaction to that doesn't feel like a return to high school: the palpable uptick in his pulse, the anxious desire to be funnier, louder, and brighter balanced with the feeling that he’s already the best version of himself when he’s got this man’s attention on him.
Derek is smiling, his kaleidoscope hazel eyes flitting intently over Stiles’ face in a searching examination of his features. Stiles can feel his mouth pulling into a wide grin. It’s Derek. Derek’s back.
“Hey, hi,” he says. “Hey there.”

Jotaro’s heart jumped into his throat for just the barest moment before he swallowed it down and put the newspaper aside. It had been an entirely instinctual gesture- because he knew what those kinds of sounds meant, especially about this time of evening."

Summary
After abruptly trying to close down Stark Industries' weapons division, Tony Stark has been ousted as CEO by the company's board of directors and is attempting to cool his heels and rehabilitate his image with a cushy one-year appointment as a guest lecturer in engineering at Shield University. Dr. Bruce Banner also has a one-year appointment at Shield, but his is a lowly adjunct instructor position that doesn't pay enough to meet the high cost of living in Southern California.
Bruce is trying desperately to keep anyone from finding out he's living in his car, while Tony is desperately trying to ask Bruce out and can't figure out why he won't accept. But when Bruce gets pneumonia, things change. Bruce has to trust Tony with his secret, Tony has to play nursemaid, and they both have to learn how to take care of each other—and still get their final grades turned in on time.

LAST READ UPDATE -- ch 17
Kakashi stumbled upon a healthy coping mechanism, and the whole of Team 7 is better for it. Of course, an emotionally healthier 'Team Kakashi' makes different choices than their canon counterparts, and the ripples of change slowly spread across the surface of Lake Canon... let's see what happens, eh?

Summary
The months following Allison's death have passed Stiles by in a haze of monotony. He sleepwalks through days that seem to lose their color, an unwilling passenger in a body he no longer trusts. Eventually, he thinks, he'll just fade away. He isn't sure anyone would notice. Then, during a spur of the moment grocery run, he stumbles upon Derek Hale attempting to console a lost child, and for the first time in recent memory the world doesn't seem so awful.
He's not sure what he'd been expecting when he eventually convinces Derek to move into the Stilinski's spare bedroom, but a newfound passion for weeding and topsoil certainly isn't it.
