Summary
“Hokage-sama,” Kakashi said, aware he sounded like a harried retail worker. From the corner of the ceiling, Hawk's chakra fluttered with silent laughter. Kakashi flicked a glare at her before settling his gaze back onto his sensei's impenetrably beaming face, feeling distinctly harassed. “This is flagrant disregard of protocol.”
“Yes,” Minato-sensei said peaceably, and nothing more. The smile on his face didn't budge an inch. A silence filled with expectation swelled between them.
“What are you doing?” Kakashi asked finally, hands placed on his hips disapprovingly.
“Abusing my authority as your supreme commander,” Minato-sensei replied smilingly.

Summary
“Difficult to explain,” Bruce said shortly, looking at nothing in particular.
Slowly, Clark lowered his head, wordlessly prompting eye contact. Then, he raised a brow.
“What was I supposed to say?” Bruce asked archly in response. “‘Hello, mother, your untimely murder opened my eyes to the glaring flaws in Gotham’s criminal justice system, and in the decades since, I’ve gone out every night in a bat costume to perform acts of vigilantism through gratuitous application of incredible violence. Would you like more milk in your tea?’”
Martha Wayne is resurrected for a day. Clark is mostly here for moral support and to make sure Bruce doesn’t crawl out of his skin from sheer stress, but he certainly wouldn’t mind making a favorable first impression on one of the most influential women of his best friend’s life. He just hadn’t expected her to be so incisively observant, though he really, probably should have.

Summary
Then, Clark’s eyes met his, and he pulled away so quickly that the sound of his retreat whipped through the air. His face, for a moment, was startlingly open, and naked grief cracked harshly through his expression like a fist shattering the surface of a frozen lake. Then, it was gone, and the slate was wiped clean as though there had been nothing but a mild smile there since the very beginning.
But Bruce knew what he’d seen.
“How long?” he asked.
Clark’s mouth twisted. “I don’t know why I thought I’d be able to keep it from you,” he said softly. “You know me too well. Was that even five minutes?”
“Clark.”
Clark’s lips turned up into a smile, fracturing his face, his eyes glittering shards of lapis lazuli. “How long for what?” he asked. “For how long we were married? Or for how long it’s been since you died?”

Summary
A hand snapped out, wrapping around his wrist and tightening until he could nearly feel his bones grinding against each other. Superman’s eyes were open, but his pupils had swallowed his irises until there was only a thin ring of blue. He didn’t blink at all, gaze faraway and unfocused. Not quite conscious.
His grip certainly wasn’t weak, in any case. Batman took that for a good sign.
He opened his mouth to say something sufficiently reassuring that would hopefully result in him without a broken wrist—he’d still be able to get the kryptonite out, of course, but having to accommodate for an injury whilst performing a medical procedure wasn’t exactly his idea of a pleasant experience. But Superman cocked his head a little, and all the tension in his body fled him, his grip loosening from around his wrist.
“Br’ce,” Clark slurred indistinctly, his hand falling to his side, and immediately, trustingly fell back into unconsciousness.
Bruce stared at his slack face, hands frozen, mind buzzing with white noise.

Summary
Kryptonians ran hotter than humans by about 5.4 degrees, give or take a few decimal places. Clark felt like a radiator even on the bitterest of rainy nights on Gotham rooftops, a foot's distance between them; Bruce wondered if it would feel different somehow, if he pressed his hand against his chest, where his shield would lay, with intention—touch for the sake of touching. If it would feel different without the barrier of triple-weave kevlar and impenetrable alien fabric between them, stripped of the context of battle and the excuse of necessity.
Bruce was, however, in possession of all his faculties and thus was sound of mind enough to create a 20-item list (organized by relevance) of all the reasons why following through on his desires would be unwise. Chiefly among said reasons was, of course, that there were approximately thirty minutes before Clark would be married to the love of his life, Lois Lane, and that Bruce would never jeopardize their happiness for something as petty as feelings that he’d failed to smother in the cradle—no matter his alleged ‘self-destructive tendencies’.

Summary
“Your Qing Jing Peak, shixiong,” the doctor said slowly.
Qing Jing Peak? The peak of scientific innovation and scholarly pursuits, as well as the setting of the first forty chapters of Hollow Sword Path, led by Kurosaki Ichigo’s shitty master who also happened to be called Urahara Kisuke? The very same shitty master who was Ichigo’s first human kill and inarguably one of the most prominent reasons for his fall into darkness?
Kisuke’s mind whirred, recalling the electronic voice’s claim that this was his afterlife; he’d recognized that he’d transmigrated within the first moments after his return to consciousness, but into Hollow Sword Path, of all the medias?
And considering the name coincidence… Was he Urahara Kisuke, kid punter and puppy kicker? Whatever higher beings there were probably weren’t that cruel, right?
“Urahara-san? Has your memory been impaired?” the doctor—Unohana Retsu, peak lord of Qian Cao Peak and head of Cang Qiong Sect’s medical division, Kisuke rapidly realized—asked, a line appearing between her furrowed brows.
Yeah, okay, fuck.

Summary
The trail died a few feet away, so short that it could barely be called a trail at all. So, he closed his eyes and followed his intuition instead, familiarity leading him to the parlor room. He stepped over the threshold, opening his eyes, and he saw—
Oh.
There were two figures wrapped in an embrace, holding each other. The one that had the Khun characteristic light blue hair tilted his head, deepening their kiss and drawing a soft, breathy noise from the other. It was difficult to see in the dim dark, but with the meager moonlight streaming through the window, Ran was able to see the red of the jumpsuit they were wearing. They continued to make wet kissing noises.
Yeah, okay. One of his siblings was battling for tongue dominance with Santa Claus. Sure. Figures.
Ran sighed deeply, taking an obnoxiously loud slurp from his Killua mug.

Summary
Ye Xiu rapped his knuckles on the wall twice, shifting the bouquet in his arms.
“Come in!” called a voice.
Ye Xiu entered the room, navigating his way with familiarity. With his free hand, he took hold of the vase on the bedside and tilted his head as he considered the flowers. Hydrangea, he thought they were called.
“Hey, do you think hospital tap water would kill these?” Ye Xiu asked thoughtfully.
A snort. Ye Xiu lifted his gaze to find Su Muqiu seated in a wheelchair, his chin resting on a loosely closed fist. Early afternoon light streamed through the large windows, setting his light hair aglow. His face was paler than usual, and dark bruises of exhaustion were smudged under his eyes. There was a mild smile on his face.
“Who are those even from?” Su Muqiu asked.

Summary
“Tsk, tsk,” Dazai tutted disapprovingly, a motherly—or rather, what Chuuya approximated as motherly; he had no reference for what a maternal figure was like, aside from maybe Kouyou-san—expression of disappointment on his face. Chuuya could feel the vibration of his vocal cords against his fingers. “Was that you doubting me that I just heard, chibikko?”
“You motherfucker,” Chuuya spat, yanking his hand away from his carotid artery as if he were burnt. “The only thing you heard me doubting was my sudden fortune in your long-awaited absence from my life!”
Dazai leveled him with an irritatingly knowing look, expressing himself without words: Stop deluding yourself, Chuuchuu Train-kun.
Chuuya grabbed him by the high collar of his prison jumpsuit, pulling him to his feet. “Who the hell are you calling Chuuchuu Train-kun!” he shouted, shaking him.

Summary
There is no monster in your chest; now, you are the monster, and you feel it irrefutably—as if all is as it was meant to be. This is what you are, without him. It’s liberating. It’s awful. If this is what freedom from your loyalty is meant to be, you would rather put a collar around your throat and place the leash in his hands and die at his feet.

Summary
Bam hummed interestedly, his eyes wandering past Endorsi's head absentmindedly before they stopped and caught on a figure at the bar, several paces away.
His breath hitched in his chest.
A woman, sitting on a bar stool, her legs crossed gracefully at the knee. Her skirts split high on her right thigh, so the position revealed a swath of her skin—a slice of her pale thigh, leading down to the bend of her knee and ending at the strappy black stiletto on her foot. His gaze trailed up, following the artful fall of her silken dress, to the glittering appliqués wrapping around her svelte waist and slender throat.
FUG's 25th Slayer goes on a honey trap mission and has an unexpected encounter with an enchanting figure.

Summary
“I’m sorry, but I couldn’t help but overhear my name,” Kisuke said, smiling his polite smile; the one reserved for strangers. Ichigo wanted to scream, bare his teeth like a wild animal, let Zangetsu take over so he wouldn’t have to be in his own mind, at the sight of it turned onto him. “It’s always a pleasure to meet someone interested in my work. What’s your name?”
Caught in a brief moment of lunacy, Ichigo considered the thought of taking him by the shoulders and howling, I am Kurosaki Ichigo, and I would burn every realm in this forsaken world to ashes if it meant you’d look at me and see me again. I have known you in nearly every way it is possible to know a man; I have ripped and mangled and torn apart what used to be my universe’s space time continuum to see you whole and well and mine and you dare to not recognize me?
He did not say this, of course; not even as an afterthought, though the urge to was very strong. That would've served as a terrible first impression. So instead, he said shortly, “Shiba Ichigo.”

Summary
Takeshi takes the most reasonable line of action a person can, when he finds out that the man he's been unhingedly attracted to for the past five years is an eldritch being and his untouchable aura of death is not in fact just a personality quirk, but a factor of his status as a creature incomprehensible to the human mind.
He asks him out on a date.

Summary
Takeshi twisted at the waist, turning to face the fusuma doors at the sound of them clacking open. Kyouya, dressed in a gray yukata, stood under the doorway, a silent sentinel.
"Kyouya," Takeshi greeted easily.
Kyouya said nothing, staring for a long, deliberate moment. Then, he stepped forward, allowing the door to slide shut behind him.
"Yamamoto Takeshi," he said. "Why are there seven dead men on my porch."

“I was number sixty nine,” Vanitas said softly, breaking the silence and drawing Noé away from his thoughts, “out of one hundred twenty-four subjects. During my time with Moreau, I’ve been a witness to the deaths of forty two of them.” He dropped his eyes from the sky to look at Noé, his expression almost unreadable.
“Because I was his favorite,” he spat.

Summary
The one with the black soul was bristling like a cat whose fur was petted in the wrong direction. “You’ve been staring at us for the past five minutes,” he snapped. “What is it?”
The other one, in the striped hat, said nothing, smiling without conveying any particular emotion. A rush of immediate and inexplicable annoyance crashed over Allen, and he eyed him warily. This guy smiled like a con man. Allen, of all people, would be able to tell.
Allen contemplated just walking away without a response. But no, he was trying to be more polite or whatever. He had to at least say something.
“Just fucking kiss already, by the grace of God,” Allen said.

"I'm sorry, what," Shibisu said, blankly.
"Are you going deaf in your old age, grandfather?" Khun said sarcastically, still scowling at his cup. "Do you need me to repeat myself?"
"What the fuck do you mean, you're engaged to Jyu Viole Grace?!" Shibisu demanded, ignoring him.
Khun Aguero Agnis and Jyu Viole Grace, arranged to be married: snippets of fourteen conversations across the twenty seven weeks until their wedding.
