Summary
"No," Kolivan said, shifting on his feet. He clutched his holotablet like it would somehow rescue him from this situation. The absence of the man's usual detached confidence was off-putting, and Keith twitched with unease. "I have received news from the Castle."
Keith lurched from the bed, on his feet in seconds. "What?"
"The blue paladin is missing."or: Keith is away with the Blades, and Lance goes missing.

Summary
"And there were a lot of things Keith wanted to say at that moment. Three words he couldn’t think in their entirety, gasped into his ear over and over. You’re beautiful, you’re beautiful against his collarbone and clavicle. I didn’t know they made boys like you into that freckle over his ribs. A hundred little confessions, whispered like secrets into every swathe and patch of skin he could trace with his fingertips, until the lights flickered on and he had to leave again like his heart wasn’t cracking in his chest."
or: Keith and Lance start sleeping together, and it ruins their lives—until it maybe fixes them.

Summary
“What the hell is up with you lately?” Maki seethes. “Your head couldn't be more in the clouds right now."
“Just…” Fushiguro closes his eyes for a few beats. “Do you ever feel like…” He opens them and turns his head slightly away, and he hears a puff of impatient breath shoot from Maki.
“Feel like what?” She stares him down, fury and concern both in her gaze, and he swallows hard.
“Like there's someone who's supposed to be here but isn't.”
When Gojo executes Sukuna's vessel, Fushiguro can't escape the feeling that someone is missing.

Summary
"You know," Iroh had said, tea cup steaming in front of him. "Some say that everyone has a matching heart, beating perfectly in time with their own. Decided by the Spirits—soulmates, of a kind."
Toph's head whipped around to stare in shock at this strange, wise old man.
"How did you know that?"
Iroh shrugged, a careful nonchalance about him. "Old stories can be found in all sorts of places. Have you found your matching heart, stranger?"
"No." She looked away. "But… I can hear them."

Summary
It’s not that she didn’t understand. Of course she did. She knew what was wrong, what was banging around the back of her skull like an incessant insect, what was twisting around her heart like a slithering snake.
But as she sat in the grass of the training grounds, Suki laying on her back beside her, she couldn’t quite get herself to think it.

Summary
And— her. You almost die fetching the flower that saves his life, and she kisses him when he wakes. You sit at the table of the feast thrown for you, and she giggles with him at his side. It’s— he lives for you. He loves you. But not the way you love him.
It tortures you. It kills you.

Arthur's been gone for two months attending an extremely private meeting with the five kingdoms, one that Merlin was strictly forbidden from attending.
Arthur didn't miss him, of course. And neither did Merlin.
(They're both not very honest men.)

Summary
Uther never truly goes, though. No. He is tethered to the mortal world by his sins and his guilt, and he wanders the halls aimlessly of a palace that was once his. He can no longer hurt anyone. He doesn’t think he wants to.
Now, he walks and he watches. He listens and he learns. Now a mere spectator, an observer of his former life, Uther wonders if he ever truly knew anything at all.

Summary
"Did you ever love me?" Merlin asks. They are lying side-by-side on the warm grass, covered by darkness, a millimeter's space between them.
