Summary
“If we don't change, we don't grow. If we don't grow, we aren't really living.”
--Gail SheehyIt seemed to Sollux that his brother Mituna was the best--he was popular, he was smart, he was athletic, he was attractive, and yet that all changed after a fateful accident which resulted in Mituna permanently damaging his brain, and issues that would stay with him for the rest of his life--and, by extension, Sollux's life too.
That was three years ago. Today, Sollux is fighting to keep his disabled brother out of trouble but at the same time out of his sight, to keep his friends from breaking into pieces, and to keep his family and his family's bee farm from failing--all while trying to navigate through the hellish high waters of high school, puberty, and young love, just as any other teenager.
*I haven't tagged certain ships or warnings due to spoilers for the fic. I'll post warnings in the author's notes if they apply to that chapter. *

Summary
"To Sebastian, Grandda was warm and jovial, and sometimes he would lift Sebastian up to sit on his broad knee and he would listen to the stories that Ma or Da had no time for, asking questions and laughing his great, deep, rich laugh that shook through Sebastian's chest and left him feeling loved."
Sebastian had to pick up his talent for archery somewhere, right? This is headcanon about the relationship between Sebastian and his grandfather, and how that relationship shaped Sebastian's character. A few minor canon details have been shuffled around to suit the plot, but nothing material.

Summary
Park Jimin isn't asexual. Sure, his boyfriend just broke up with him because he doesn't enjoy having sex with him, but that doesn't mean anything. He's just stressed and it's taking a toll on his body.
Actually, this is a good thing. It finally gives him time to focus on his giant crush on Min Yoongi.
Min Yoongi who dates one person after another, who probably has more sex in a month than Jimin could bear having in his whole life.
But that's okay. Because Park Jimin isn't broken. He just hasn't found the right person yet. Right? -

For the prompt,
Daxamites can't go too long without physical contact. (Whether that's hugging/cuddling or full sex and hormonal release is up to you.) Mon-El worries that Kara and company and their prudish alien mores will not understand, so he refuses to tell anyone about it. After going without for too long, Mon-El collapses and comes on/confesses to the nearest person in the feverish aftermath.
When something goes wrong with Mon-El, the DEO puts him back in containment, in case he's a hazard. It's not helpful.
