Summary
/dəˌzidəˈrädəm/
something that is needed or wanted.
---“....My dear brother! To what do I owe the pleasure of this meeting?” Kaeya asks back, voice a little hoarse from hours of non-use, as if they are not in dragonspine in a snowstorm with Kaeya having two broken limbs, being visionless, as if this meeting is anything but troublesome.
“You owe the pleasure of explaining to me why the fuck you decided to explore dragonspine during a snowstorm, Sir Kaeya.” Well damn.
Or: Diluc rescues a weakened Kaeya during a heavy snowstorm in Dragonspine.

Ch 5may take years before they can be proper friends…but, Diluc thinks they’ll be alright. Eventually. Maybe one day, they can go back to calling each other brother again. Maybe. And he doubts they will be able to close this chasm that exists between them. But…over the years, perhaps they will learn how to cross it. That, maybe, Kaeya even coming here and asking for a drink is his own way of perching at the edge and throwing Diluc a rope

Summary
The plane leveled out with another horrible shudder. The air was suddenly thick with an eerie silence. The pilot made an announcement: “Engine emergency. Landing immediately. Please, follow crew instructions.” Distantly, Shane registered someone yelling about a fire. We are going to crash. I will never see him again.

Sometimes being brave means driving 2 hours to dramatically reunite with the love of your life in the middle of a parking lot after a near-death experience.

Summary
Maybe it’s the thinning oxygen in the building affecting his control over his brain-to-mouth filter, or maybe it’s the fact that he’s already locked in on the task at hand, but Eddie just says it. Says it like it’s the most casual thing in the world. Says it like it’s not the first time one of them has said it since they’ve been together. Says it while he’s not even looking at Buck.

Summary
When Harry chose to come back and not move on, he didn't think there would be repercussions, but there was. His magic. Every spell he used, every incantation muttered, and any magic that came forward slowly decreased his magical reserve. Malfoy, his healer, goes to great lengths to keep Harry alive. All Harry has to do is to not use his magic.
Should be easy, right?

Summary
“I love you.”
He’d been terrified, then, when he heard it. Not afraid that Will loved him, no. Afraid that Will loved him, told him, and would’ve died before Mike could tell him that he loved him before he ever knew what loving someone the way he did Will meant.
Because he’d stopped shaking, right after those words spilled out of his lips in a desperate gasp. His sniffles had died, breath stuttering until he was quiet. Will had always been a quiet boy, but Mike had always heard him, even before he started truly speaking when they were children. He couldn’t hear him, then.
He couldn’t hear him, and he had fallen apart.
or, Mike knows it's him Will had been tragically in love with. He acts accordingly.

Summary
Silence. Hungry, carnivorous—or maybe cavernous, vast and lined with teeth, ready to bite. The quiet before the storm, the gasped breath in before the heart stops. Tragedy tastes bitter. Blood tastes like pennies. Both are in the air, promises coating the tongue. Something bad is about to happen.
From beneath the bed, something reaches out—a mass of darkness, a shapeless nothing—and it grabs Mike by the wrist, yanks him forward. Mike chokes on a yelp and flails his arm free, blood dripping from where the shadows grabbed him, like the touch of darkness has split him open. He tries to scramble away, unfolds his legs to kick himself back but only makes himself easier, more vulnerable. The unidentifiable mass encircles Mike's ankle, and he screams something agonized, terrified—and then it pulls Mike, clawing at the carpet with his bloodied fingers, under the bed.
This time, the silence isn't hungry. It's satisfied.
will starts entering the mindscape in his dreams on the same night that mike gets taken by vecna. this is probably the least confusing part of everything that happens after.

Stuck on an island alone, pregnant she has to try to survive for her and her baby.
Eddie has to mourn his only love.
No major death, presumed dead.
Alternating POVOr,
"The water," Christopher cried, his voice pitching up into hysteria. "She fell off the ambulance! I tried to grab her, Dad, I tried! But she yelled at me to stay! She yelled at me and then the water took her!"
Eddie stared at his son. He felt like he had been hollowed out with a spoon. The water took her.
"Did she... did you see her get up?" Eddie asked, gripping the chair arm a little too tight. "Did she swim to to safety?"
"No," Christopher wailed. "She didn't come back to me! She didn't come back! I couldn't see her."
No. No, absolutely not. She is Evi Buckley. She survived a ladder truck bombing. She survived a tracheotomy. She survived a pulmonary embolism. She does not die in a wave.
"Dad?" Christopher was looking at him, terrified. "Is Bucky dead?"

Summary
After the war, Hermione Granger rebuilds her life quietly: running a small apothecary called Sage at Diagon Alley, healing where she can, and researching impossible cures in the hope of repairing the damage the war left behind. Draco Malfoy, now a single father determined to break the legacy he inherited, is doing his best to raise Scorpius and stay far from the remnants of his past as an auror in France.
But when a long-buried blood curse resurfaces, Scorpius becomes its next target. Meanwhile, scattered whispers of Antonin Dolohov’s return begin to stir in Britain, pulling dark forces out of dormancy and threatening to reignite a war that never fully died: it's time for the Malfoys to come back home.
Driven together by necessity, Hermione and Draco enter a reluctant partnership to decipher the curse, develop a cure, and protect the boy caught at the heart of it. What begins as obligation becomes trust; what begins as fear becomes tenderness; what begins as survival slowly, inevitably, becomes love.
A slow burn Dramione about healing, second chances, found family, dangerous research, and the quiet miracle of choosing someone even when the world tries to tear you back into who you used to be.

Summary
[Phantom Liberty DLC · IF / Alternate Ending]
Dogtown's nights always smell like rust and rain.
V's only goal was to pull President Myers out of Kurt Hansen's grip. She never expected Johnny Silverhand—the loudmouth rockerboy squatting in her head—to get kicked out... only to be replaced by a soft-spoken, terrifyingly calm netrunner: Songbird. Song So Mi.
Songbird clears the path. V takes the bullets.
From forced brain-roommates to reluctantly sharing a narrow bed.
From wariness and distance to the quiet, terrifying realization on a rain-lashed night that the other woman's breathing feels safer than any neural matrix ever could.
Songbird carries secrets too heavy to speak aloud. V doesn't trust anyone to have her back.
Yet when the Blackwall whispers again and the Relic's countdown ticks louder, they have to choose: keep using each other... or bet everything on the person who once lied to them.
"I'm not letting you carry this alone anymore."
"Try shaking me off? Maybe next lifetime." -

Summary
“Sorry—“ Blueberry stuttered, “M’sorry—s-sorry, sorry, sorry—“
A silencing hush from the hermit made Sage’s sobs simmer into whimpering pleas. The former wonders, venomously, if this is how he begged to the Witches. When they were cutting and confining him in their bony hand, did his Sage stammer such as this?
He’s going to kill them.
—
On just a simple occasion of healing, Recluse never expected his patient to be Sage, bleeding out and dying on his classroom floor.

Summary
After Eddie’s harsh words during a moment of fear—“you’re exhausting”—linger like a ghost in Buck’s mind, he begins to fracture under the weight of his own silence. Convinced he’s too much for those he loves, Buck hides his growing despair behind forced smiles and reckless heroics, convinced vulnerability would only push the 118 further away.
But when a near-fatal rescue leaves him drowning in more than just seawater, Eddie and Christopher refuse to let him sink alone. Together, they navigate the storm of guilt, trauma, and unspoken fears, stitching their makeshift family back together with patience, late-night confessions, and the quiet certainty that healing isn’t a solo mission.

Summary
After recklessly leaping from a collapsing bus to save a child, Evan "Buck" Buckley finds himself sidelined with broken ribs, a concussion, and a strict order to rest—whether he likes it or not. The 118 crew descends on the Diaz household to enforce his recovery, but it’s Eddie Diaz, frayed by anxiety and sleepless nights, who refuses to let Buck out of his sight.
Between Bobby’s casseroles, Hen’s medical threats, and Christopher’s hero worship, Buck begins to see the cracks in Eddie’s stoic facade: the fear he can’t hide, the touches that linger, and the unspoken words that simmer beneath every argument. When a moment of overexertion spirals into a raw confrontation, years of quiet longing collide, forcing them to confront the risks they’ll take—and the mess they’ll make—to hold onto each other.
