Summary
Hawkins, Indiana was always brutal in the summer.
You’re reminded of this as sweat slips down your spine and your palms slide uselessly against the edge of the teacher’s desk you’ve been trying and failing to move three feet closer to the window.
Or; you move back to Hawkins to set up your classroom and end up getting more than you bargained for from the sex ed teacher.

Summary
“The Draconian thinks his plan final, believes all of us too fearful to defy him- but…I cannot watch any longer as humanity- as you,” An icy palm raises, cupping her cheek and freezing the tear slipping down it, “...suffer. I cannot bear it. You showed me that Humanity is worth the fight,” Lunafreya cannot help the sob that tears its way up and out of her mouth, shaking her head.
“What am I meant to do?”
Gentiana smiles, not unkind, and if Lunafreya were thinking straight she probably would have caught the apology in her eyes.
Gentiana opens her mouth to speak, and Luna gasps awake in the car, the seatbelt tightening around her chest as she jerks forward. The driver doesn't notice, fiddling with the dials of the air conditioning as the vehicle keeps steady with the traffic entering Insomnia-
Oh.
Oh, no.

Summary
Jaskier knew Geralt was only being harsh because he was hurting. He knew the Witcher didn't mean it, didn't truly blame him, that he just needed time. But, as he walked away from the seething man, it felt incomparable to all the times they parted for the winter. Each step he took to further himself from Geralt, the bigger the gash in his bleeding heart grew.
Or- Jaskier takes a moment on the way down the mountain to contemplate things with Geralt.

Summary
“You must be…?” Her step-mom turned towards Langdon, eyes tracking up and down him. Her thin eyebrows were tilted up, surely in surprise.
“I’m Frank,” Langdon smiled, reaching forward with his other hand to shake her hand. He leaned across the table to shake her step-sister’s hand, before turning to Mel’s father and looking at him. “I’m Mel’s boyfriend.”✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* ✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* ✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*

Summary
"Significant pulmonary contusion and multiple rib fractures, and there's very likely a subdural hematoma in there too,” Garcia says grimly, sounding like she's citing it to herself rather than to anyone else in the room. “We’re lucky it's most probably small, but given her fluctuating GCS it still concerns me quite a bit. Also, besides the shard of metal, the bruising and swelling along her abdomen suggests the possibility of internal bleeding as well, but we need to get in the OR to fully evaluate the severity of it."
“Jesus King,” he murmurs. “You were supposed to have the day off.”
or: there's a car accident on mel's day off. she ends up at the pitt anyways.

Summary
“Mel.” Frank sounds tense and serious. She doesn’t like when he’s tense and serious, especially not when she thinks that it might be because of her - why else would he not reply to her picture? “What are we doing?”
“We’re - we’re trading pictures, Frank, like we said we would -”
“Yeah, I know, but… are you seriously gonna tell me that you’re not sending ones where you look hot on purpose?”
The air leaves her lungs in a large, violent breath. She feels like she’s been caught with her hand in the cookie jar. Or like she’s been caught leaving secret, encoded messages on a post-it note inside the lid of the cookie jar without telling anyone the post-it note or even the cookie jar itself is there. She wanted to take cute pictures to send to him this week in the hopes that he would like them, but she didn’t know that he noticed how hard she was working for it, didn’t realize that he realized - oh, God, is her new push-up bra that obvious?
“I’m not - I didn’t - um -”
“Are you alone right now?”
“Yeah, I’m alone.”
Frank sighs on the other end of the line, and she waits patiently for it all to come crashing down.
“What are you wearing?”

Summary
To young lord Hans Capon of Pirkstein, no matter whether he was the son of a village blacksmith or a noble's bastard, Henry was no more than a dog.
The moment the dog dared to disobey, all he was good for was to be kicked, and all he could hope for is that the lord, in his infinite noble wisdom, wouldn't deem him rabid—and put him down.
Let it be so, then. If he was an unruly dog, hungering after something he had no right to, then he was already damned. God can't help him.
His soul was already lost—the leash to it in different hands than God's.Henry tries to bury all the conflicting feelings about his lord somewhere deep. But was born under an unlucky star, after all: the world won't let him keep these things buried for too long. A study of Henry's state of mind after Laboratores until For Victory!; exploration of his own fears and desires he struggles to understand. Canon compliant, extended: filling in the gaps. Misunderstood religious misery, self-discovery, shameless dog motif, power imbalance and crossing the class divide; two absolute fools in horrible, horrible love.
Chapter titles reference the associated in-game quest.
