Summary
The idea of one of his parents laying hands on him simply because he wanted to fucking talk made him nauseous in a way he had never thought possible. But his commanding officers made up for it, laying their own rough, calloused hands and words on him– scarring him both physically and emotionally. He was a quick learner, with a remarkable sense of self preservation. He wasn’t going to let something he knew he should have fixed on his own get in the way of him doing what was right, fighting for what was right– even if deep down he knew the injustices he faced from his peers and leaders wasn’t.
After that, it didn’t take long for him to decide to be better. To prove everyone wrong.

Summary
The mission brief was simple, the words all familiar and put in an order that almost made Ghost bored. All goes well and he doesn't think twice about the sequence of events.
Except he wakes up to do it again. And again. And again. And he can't help but overthink his time with the man next to him.- Language:

Summary
Ghost lets himself be pulled up slightly, his hand just as steady on Soap's thigh. "That what you need, Johnny?" he asks, licking his lips behind the balaclava. Soap’s eyes drop to his mouth, flick back up. "You wanna draw blood? Be in control?"
"Lt–" Soap starts, lips parted on a rough exhale. A plea or a warning, Ghost can't tell. He's too focused on the way Soap's pupils dilate, and the way the edge of the knife digs into the fabric at his throat.
---
When Graves rears his head not ten days after Las Almas Ghost starts questioning Soap's loyalty, and with it whatever's left of his own sanity.

Summary
"Kids?" Soap asks, curving his fingers into a silent okay to Ghost without thinking. "Plural?"
"Yes. A boy and a girl. Little Joseph was born a couple of months ago, according to the records."
"Oh," is all Soap says because oh. He has a nephew. A little baby nephew. And then, because that is apparently not enough of a revelation, the doctor says:
"You are listed as their legal guardian, Mr. MacTavish. We need you to pick them up."

Summary
“Bolg is my son.” He prodded again, even though the scales of dwarven armour were rather unforgiving against bare hobbit fingers. “He has been my son nearly all his life, as good as born to me. You dwarves respect adoptions as good as blood kin, and you will respect my family in my home, just the same. Or you'll leave, now, through the door you came in.”
On one fated night, Bilbo Baggins finds a pitiful little creature huddled in his garden, bleeding and broken. Adopted!Bolg AU, written for a kink meme prompt.

The Intelligence Control and Analysis Program by inkandpaperqwerty
Fandoms: Criminal Minds (US TV)
25 Jul 2019
Tags
Summary
Aaron Hotchner couldn't ask for better agents than David Rossi, Derek Morgan, Emily Prentiss, and Jennifer Jereau. In fact, he prides himself on heading the best team the BAU has to offer. Still, he's not so arrogant he doesn't know when it's time to call for help, so when his team hits a brick wall with a ticking clock, he reaches out to the Intelligence Control and Analysis Program. ICAP sends him a mountain of files, all of them good candidates, but Hotch is repeatedly drawn to the same file. Genius #2036334-4383 has three doctorates and a high success rate with the Bureau, though he's never been in the field. According to his file, he has behavioral issues and doesn't play well with others, but Hotch doesn't see that being a problem. It's a temporary arrangement, after all.
What's the worst that could happen?

Summary
"You're a psychiatrist," Will says. "Between your personal and professional lives you must have met thousands of people, you must know dozens of different flavors of pathology. Do you know anyone who would take me as I am? Who would be able to love me," he gestures in a sweeping motion, from his messy hair to his stained knee, "just as I am?"
"I do."
Bedelia's words shock Will into stillness.
“Really?”
AKA an AU where Bedelia is Will’s psychiatrist instead of Hannibal, Will makes a series of increasingly questionable life choices, and no one should ever take Bedelia’s advice. Ever.

Summary
SHIELD never find Captain America.
But one spring, the Valkyrie melts anyway, and Steve Rogers wakes up in the ice, alone.
———————————
He tried to move – and it burned. There was fire wrapping around his body, dragging cold tongues of pain across every inch of him. There was nothing but the screeching pain and the blackness and the silence -
He breathed, and choked, because his lungs were full of ice.
Water trickled delicately from his nose, dribbled over shrivelled lips. He jerked reflexively, throat cracking free from frost. He tried to gulp, tried to swallow, tried to snatch at air.
