Summary
Buck's fingers mindlessly come up from his sides to intertwine with Tommy's hand, now hanging leisurely over Buck's shoulder. That's when it catches Eddie's eyes—the headache-inducing shine of a sleek silver band, reflected in the light.
It's not blinding, too small for it, but it hits Eddie's head in a stabbing painful throb all the same. He tries to blink the dizziness away, to no avail.
He watches as Tommy whispers something into Buck's ear, smug lips shaping around the name Evan in a way that sounds entirely off to Eddie in tone, even lacking the sound of it. Watches as Buck chuckles, turning his head to press a quick peck to the other man's lips. Watches as Tommy grins and kisses him back, with the weight of metal binding him down.
Or: Buck gets engaged to Tommy. Eddie has some feelings about that. It gets messy.

Summary
His fingers curl around the half-moon shape, bringing down the knife in a repetitive motion. He's done it a million times before. Dicing onions, dying inside. It should be easy.
Eddie is watching him intently. “Thanks for taking care of the house. You didn't have to do that.“
“Yeah no, of course. I didn't want you to worry about it. There's nothing I wouldn't do to help you get back to him,“ Buck states, simply, because it's true.
He watches his best friend's adams apple bob, swallowing hard. “Yeah.“ Eddie's shoulders tense. “Yeah, I know.“
There's really no reason for the knife to slip, he's careful. He learned to be careful ages ago. It doesn't matter. He still can't do it right. It doesn't spare him. It never seems to.

Summary
The silence is loud in the confined space. There's something brewing in this car, in the noise of downtown LA not filtered by any hum of the radio, surrendering them to clouded gray thundering through dark skies. Buck knows it will come down soon, lighting always strikes twice with him.
He comes to a halt after a few minutes. Eddie's rigid expression is illuminated in traffic light red. The heat of it travels into a hand on Buck's thigh.
The light turns green. Eddie doesn't move his hand. He drives.

Deep Misunderstanding by some1_around

Summary
“Am I a bad friend?”
Hayden has always been the guy Shane joked with, the guy he trusted to feed him without mocking him, the guy he roomed with on the road, and Shane is the only man who has ever seen Hayden cry, and Hayden loves Shane. He fucking loves him. They are like brothers, and they have been for almost ten fucking years. He’s always been Shane’s guy, Shane’s best friend.
Except all along, maybe that wasn’t true. Ilya Rozanov, apparently, had been the guy. Before Hayden had ever met Shane, Ilya Rozanov had been there. And Hayden had never even noticed.
Shane is all over every inch of Hayden’s life. Hayden thought that was reciprocal.

“You know I think about you all the time,
And my deep misunderstanding of your life,
And how bad it must have been for you back then,
And how hard it was to keep it all inside.”- Language:

Bookmarker's Notes
Cried the entire fic. Hayden's regret and love are both so deafening and alive here. It's very moving.

Summary
Mia woke up in a cold sweat. She was shivering- more than that, really, more like trembling. Convulsing. Like an earthquake in her bones.
The sheets were wet against her back. It was…sweat, her sweat, she could feel it plastering her pajamas to her skin, dripping through her hair down to the nape of her neck. Shit, was her first thought, as if through a haze. These are Ollie’s. A too-big t-shirt and sweatpants, pilfered from his closet when he wasn’t looking. She had been pretty sure he wouldn’t mind. They were comfy, anyway, and Mia had a habit of snatching things first and thinking later. They were all rumpled with sweat now, though…would he get mad? Would he be angry at her, for ruining his clothes?
Or, Mia wakes up in the middle of the night with a bad fever. She can't quite think straight. Things go about how you'd expect.

Summary
"How old are you anyway?"
Bruce smirks a little, “Pretty old.”
“How old am I?” Dick rephrases the question. Realistically, given the lines on Bruce's face and the grey in his hair, he has to be more than a decade or two in the future. But, well, Dick's still reeling from being twelve. He can't begin to imagine a world where there's anything past tomorrow.
Bruce's smirk sinks a little, but not quite to a frown. It's a distant smile, fighting through the shadows of whatever it is Bruce sees when he looks down at him. In a quiet, mournful tone, he says, “Not that old. Not old at all.”
(A young Robin and Nightwing swap places; Batman is always the constant.)

Summary
roy & mia bonding through archery, food, and fucked up pasts
---Roy rubs his eyes then flops his head onto the table dramatically, his hair just long enough to curtain around him and rest against the table. As a final, killing blow, she adds, “Have you seen the art piece ‘You construct intricate rituals which allow you to touch the skin of other men?’ I’m starting to think it was based on you.”
Roy groans into the table, kicking her shin softly. “Okay, I get it,” his voice is verging on whining, “I already have to deal with Ollie telling me I ‘counteract my complicated relationship with my sexual identity with hypermasculine posturing.’ You don’t gotta start on it too.”
