Summary
“It’s a chess move, you see. Pawns must be strategically sacrificed in order to achieve the goal. I know that sounds harsh, but think about it. When the goal is so beautiful, what do those pawns matter?” He glanced eagerly over at Bruce, searching for approval.
“They matter more than ever. You can’t just let people die to get what you want. You know that, Jeremiah.”
His eyes darkened as he gazed out the window, disappointment clouding his pale face. The blueprint in his hand began to crumple as his grip around it tightened. He had been so sure, so very sure that his friend would realize how important this was. For Jeremiah, for the city…
For them.
His voice was soft when he spoke, but laden with disappointment.
“I thought you would understand.”
(Part Three of "The Brother I Never Had" series.)

Summary
“What do you want from me?”
The car’s fogging up and daylight is soon to creep over the horizon, but neither notices as Oikawa closes the space between them, indifferent to the silt and mud skimming the backseat leather, all to frame Iwaizumi’s face in his palms.
Oikawa’s touch is deathly cold and hesitant and nothing resembling the man he’s gotten to know three months ago. It’s a shallow attempt at soothing him, thumbs grazing over wet cheekbones, and when Iwaizumi clasps the other’s elbow, the look he gets in return makes him question if he had ever really met Oikawa until today.
Iwaizumi, jaded and haunted by past circumstances, returns to his childhood home after years. Something's amiss.

Amell becomes a runaway apostate, searching for purpose and a place for himself, and that is how he finds out about distant relatives of his living in Kirkwall.

Summary
For some reason, Sayu had just assumed that she’d have more time.
She couldn’t really say why.
It was probably in the same vein as most things in childhood- time slips by and you can’t keep track of it.
Hell, it had been so long since she’d given any thought to the future that she’d nearly forgotten. But she’d needed help with her homework, had gone to Light, only to find his door locked- and just like that, everything had come flooding back to her.

Summary
As far back as I can remember, I've dreamed of flying...
The closest I could ever get was the Air Force... Until a rogue missile shot me down and literally shot a hole through my life. For all my trying, all I gained was a wheelchair and a healthy helping of scarring. Yay, go me.
I still dream, though.

Sheppard left the military a cripple. A decade later they want him back. Not for him. For his gene. But will they want thechallengeschanges having him brings?

Summary
Matt Murdock has been missing for just over a year when he comes back out of seemingly nowhere, determined to make the most of his junior year of high school (despite having a shitton of issues that literally no one wants to touch with a ten-foot pole).
His former best friend can't seem to reconcile him with the Matt he used to know, everyone's torn between treating like he's glass or like he's some sort of freak, and his supersenses in a building full of hormonal teenagers ensure that it's going to be far from an easy school year.
Luckily for Matt, things start to look up with the arrival of a new student: rumored troublemaker and delinquent Frank Castle. School suddenly seems a lot more interesting.

sometimes you help others as much as you are helped, sometimes you're buried ankle deep in regret and fear.
eventually, you reach the end.
or; Dick Grayson and trauma, recovery, and his siblings. Something's wrong with all of them but they work through it, eventually.

Summary
"Ever since York died in the accident, she had been pouring her heart into her work. Distraction could only do so much in that situation, and she was well aware of it, but at least for a little while she had to fill her brain with something that wasn’t her sense of guilt. Not that it was easy, she was the one at the wheel. Plus, it was right because of York that she had moved to another country: he would study ancient Japanese folklore and she would admire the beauty of the locations, working as a freelance photographer. They had moved with the idea of starting a new life, they had gotten engaged and perhaps they would have started making plans for a family, in fact they were happy to have bought a big house because one day they would have raised their children in there.
…But that couldn’t be a reality anymore, so all Carolina could do was take another picture, and then another picture, and then another."
