Summary
At first, no one noticed anything besides how irritable he was.
It wasn’t anything new; Bakugou had always been a touchy guy, yelling at anyone who touched him or even gave him a halfway sideways look. These levels were new though— he was louder, crueler, choosing to isolate himself and arrive seconds before class began or late than to walk the halls. He was the first one to shower and leave the dorm and the last one to go to bed. His class just assumed it was frustration with his less than stellar internship. They all unanimously, silently, decided to give him a little space.
It was when he snapped at Kirishima that they realized there was something wrong. -

Summary
Chrom tilts his head back to her, eyes already fluttering feebly. He had so much to give, so much to do - this…shouldn’t be the end. This shouldn’t be /his/ end. Still, a brilliant smile transforms his pallid gaunt face and Robin cannot pretend anymore, cannot pretend that things were as they were.
But for a second, everything is right, like they’d been transported to before they were separated from their army at the Border Pass and captured by Mustafa’s men. Before they lost Lady Emmeryn.

Summary
Bucky finds out Steve is gay, and really, he could have handled it so much better.
What happened when Steve and Bucky were apart?
The journey as seen through Bucky's eyes, from before the war to after the fall of Hydra.***
Bucky just never imagined that someone he’d put so much faith in, someone who, with his so-called flaws: his purity, patriotism, and pride—could be hiding such a perverse secret.
Not until he came home late one night from work at the factory, eyes tired and body aching from hours of hauling metal scraps—and a brown envelope tucked on the inside of his coat— to find Steve and Stark on their ugly yellow sofa. Together.

Summary
Derek doesn’t want to call the window repair guy. He doesn’t want to sweep up the glass. He’ll inevitably miss a few shards and pull them out of the bottom of his bare feet for weeks.
He doesn’t want to try to make this place feel like home when it isn’t.
Derek stayed in Beacon Hills and tried to make it work because he wanted pack, wanted purpose. He gave his best effort and found himself back where he started: alone, with a few begrudging allies. He’s tired, and even though his werewolf body heals quickly, he feels the weary ache down to his center.
He packs his car with the few things he cares about enough to drag them from place to place. He locks the loft and calls a realtor about listing the building he’d bought in a misguided attempt to secure a future.
And then he leaves.

Summary
She had always been curious about her family and from the moment she entered the Academy, Naruto thought that she would have to wait till she turn 16 or become a Chunin before learning the truth about her parents. She was the child that no one wanted and she thought that she would forever remain an unwanted child. That was why Uzumaki Kenji surprised her by telling her that he was taking her to Japan to be with their clan.
The only thing Naruto has to wonder was...where the hell was Japan? And why were those Old Geezers putting up a huge fuss about her leaving the village?

Summary
“Dr. Stiggs doesn’t think our marriage is healthy,” Chris told Piers. He was trying this, “Talk about what’s on your mind” thing that had never worked out for him in the past.
Piers had told him to. Chris had said he would try. Chris was trying.
Piers gave him a serious look over their dinner. It was steaks and potatoes. Chris had asked for it and had looked Piers in the eye when he did. “What do you think?”
Chris paused. “It isn’t,” he finally admitted. “But I like it.”
~::~
“Your jaw’s getting soft,” Piers said.
Chris looked up. Piers’ different colored eyes followed the angles of his face. “I like it. I like this softer-looking you. Do you?”
Chris thought. “Yeah. It feels good.”

Summary
Tony can't get himself back from Siberia, and it takes the night for him to be rescued. While waiting to see if he'll die of hypothermia, he realises something for the first time. It wasn't that he failed because he hadn't tried hard enough. He had failed because he had tried too hard. His so-called team-mates had formed the habit of blaming Tony for everything because he had let them. He had shouldered the blame, let them attack him without consequence, and cleaned up after their mess, all so they could continue to feel self-righteous in peace. But it wasn't just him they were attacking, and saving the world didn't give them a free pass to be the very bullies that Steve claimed to fight against.
Tony woke up in hospital, still sustained by the relief of his realisation. Things sucked, but they would get better. He was Tony Stark, and no challenge was too much for him. It was odd how much easier it was to plot when he actually did intend ways to manipulate the ex-Avengers into falling in line. And since that was what they seemed convinced he was doing all along, they didn't deserve a warning that it would now be true.

Summary
After Bucky was released from the hospital, it only took him a couple of weeks to give up on himself. Difficult to believe in any kind of future when the simple act of staying alive was almost too big an effort.
Out the frosted window, across the street, there was a tiny homeless guy burrowing under an awning.
