    Summary

    Who of us had not loved something or somebody? How much did these feelings, these loves, these worships, have to do with pure reason? Little or nothing, we saw at last. Were not these things the tissue out of which our lives were constructed? Did not these feelings, after all, determine the course of our existence? It was impossible to say we had no capacity for faith, or love, or worship. In one form or another we had been living by faith and little else.

    from The Big Book by William G. Wilson and Robert H. Smith, Chapter 4: We Agnostics

    Armand and Daniel on living by more than faith.

    Summary

    “Consider how this looks. The Senju proposes peace at the height of their power. The Uchiha, already losing, don’t have the resources to match the Senju. If the Senju provides us with food and armour, the Uchiha must become subordinate. Is that what you think of as peace, Senju? Over at the Uchiha compound, we call that subjugation by the most powerful.”

    “It seems that there is only one possible solution: the Senju must choose a symbol to subjugate itself to the Uchiha to balance out the scales. For that role, I volunteer myself.”

    The wise ones know: fires can warm and not burn; and rivers, if given strength and permission, will carve the land.

    (Or, the one in which Tobirama becomes Madara’s concubine, and peace is won and held through neither power nor love, but food, water, clothes, and medicine.)

    Complete.

    Summary

    Peter looks at Mr. Stark. At Miss Hill. When they don’t budge and don’t back off, he looks at Bucky with what he is confident is pleading.

    Bucky turns his face to the window, but then speaks.

    “Stark, I owe you more than one, and this is the only reason I’m not laughin’ right now, but have you been hittin’ the bottle?”

    Oh, thank god. Finally, an ally.

    Was Peter having to dump Harry not enough? Because in Peter’s humble opinion it was, and he’s still unsuccessfully trying to scrape off the lingering guilt with a mental squeegee.

    Summary

    “Lord Phainon…” Hyacine starts, “have you been pushing your body to look like your old self?” Her voice breaks with her words.

    The betrayal felt is clear as day. Phainon has no choice but to keep his head down in ashamed silence. Here he was, bearing the visage of the Chrysos Heirs' executioner, and staring at the ground like a kicked dog.

    Mydei groans, leaning back in his chair with a huff. “A whole year of that, and look where it got you. I guess this is your version of falling ill.”

    With one final sniffle, Hyacine composes herself, ever the doctor. “Alright. Rest here until you can change back. I won’t ask you to walk home like this. But, doctor’s orders: from now on, when you’re home, you must allow your body to breathe properly!”

    What else could Phainon do but nod?

    Within The Eternal Page, a year has passed since the battle with Irontomb. The retired life is going well enough for Phainon, spending his days happily idling away.

    That is, until his body suddenly bursts into flames, shining light on his most deeply hidden secrets.

    Summary

    "I'm not asking you to look after me, Mel," he begged softly. "I know things are incredibly hard for you right now. I know you feel like you're drowning under the weight of this place and Becca. But let me be the person who helps you breathe, not another task on your to-do list. Let me help you carry it. I’ll step back. If I’m crowding you, or if my stuff with Abby and the kids is putting too much pressure on you, just tell me where the line is. I’ll stay behind it. I’ll do whatever you want. I will change whatever I need to change about myself to make this work. Just please, don't shut me out."

    And right there, in his desperate plea, was the absolute, terrifying core of why she had to stop it.

    He was too willing to erase his own needs, to compromise his own emotional limitations, and shrink himself down into whatever shape she needed just to keep her comfortable. He adored her completely. He cherished the very ground she walked on and treated her with a level of devotion that she felt unworthy of.

    Summary

    Colin Bridgerton is a jet-setting 28-year-old travel writer and social media influencer. He’s constantly moving from place to place and person to person. That’s the way he likes it. Everything changes when a skiing accident has him stuck back in London in his childhood home for several months while he recovers. One good thing about being home, however, is his proximity to Penelope Featherington. They’ve been good friends for years, but this newfound consistency of his presence and communication between them brings some feelings that have been simmering for a long time finally to the surface.

    Summary

    Rose volunteers for a nonprofit that rescues sex-trafficked omegas, and Shane thinks it's a great cause. He even attends their fundraising galas.

    Then, one night, Rose calls to ask for a favor: She wants Shane to let a recently-rescued male omega live with him. In his apartment.

    His name is Ilya, Rose explains, and the thing is, despite omega hormone levels, he acts and smells just like an alpha. He can't keep staying in an omega group home because he's scaring the other omegas and endangering the staff.

    But he could live with Shane, Rose insists. "You're a big strong alpha hockey player, so he can't intimidate you physically. But also he needs to feel safe, which he can with you, because you're not like other alphas." She pauses. "You know?"

    By which she means Shane has never had a full rut, his scent glands barely work, he can't form a knot, and he has no interest in sticking his dick in anyone. Which, whatever. It's fine.

    But if being a failure as an alpha means he can help this omega, Ilya, who's apparently as much of a biological anomaly as Shane is…

    Shane says yes.

    And maybe it's a stupid decision. But he knows that it's also the right one.

    Summary

    Ilya wasn’t trying to kill himself that night. Suicide is something that belongs to his mother- he’s just lazy, and he wishes Shane would stop making excuses for him.

    Shane has everything under control. His body is a tool, the one that’s given him both his career and his relationship, and he wishes Ilya would stop prying into the way he maintains it.

    or: Ilya learns a whole lot more about his mother, Shane remembers a whole lot more about his childhood, and they both get diagnosed.

    Summary

    "He doesn’t really understand how he’s gone from being a genuinely happy person, thick as thieves with everybody on the team, to this. It’s almost as though somebody’s cut the rope tying him to the others and now he’s drifting away, sinking without everyone else’s buoyancy to keep him afloat. He can see them all still tied together, barely seeming to notice their drowning team member, clearly not missing his presence."

    When Spencer is shot in the knee and Hotch's whole family comes under attack, the depression that's been slowly creeping up on him over the last couple of months takes over, shrouding him in a dark cloud he can't escape.

    Hotch finally realises what's going on, but before he can say anything Spencer leaves the BAU. He throws himself into the life of the younger man, desperate to make him happy again, but will their budding new relationship actually blossom? And is Spencer's relationship with the team broken forever?

    A Hotchreid-centric recovery fic centering on season five, heavily featuring Penelope Garcia. As it should.

    Summary

    Of course a goblin would be the one to tell Harry that he had a surviving family member. His life never made sense, so he really shouldn't have expected assuming the Lordship of the House of Black to be easy.

    And of course the last surviving Black wouldn't make Harry's life easy, either.
