Summary
Between Paris and now, it had gotten more painful to exist in his sarx. His scars were more plentiful, and they hurt more. The sensation of his ectoplasm turning back into glass was a frequent and unwelcome guest. It would happen at random, a limb or muscle seizing up and refusing to move for unpredictable periods of time. If anger alone could kill Nashira, she’d be dead a thousand times over.
Struck with another wave of pain from the scars and stiffness in his legs, I sat heavily on the bed and positively wallowed in my desire to make being in his sarx more pleasant for him. An idea began to form. I couldn’t do anything to ease the pain, but could I add to the pleasure?
“Arcturus,” I said slowly, “Could we try something?”

Or: Paige gets creative about possession practice

Summary
Darcy huffed as she sat on the common room couch. “Look at this, Jane, they’re calling me the most useless person at the Avengers tower!” She threw her handful of gossip magazines down on the coffee table.
A voice that was decidedly not Jane’s responded to her. “Why are you reading things written by idiots?”
She looked up to see Bucky Barnes, ex-assassin supersoldier extraordinaire, peering curiously at the magazines.
“You’re not Jane,” She said blankly.
“Not last I checked,” He agreed.
Or: Darcy and Bucky have an argument about who least deserves to be the most useless person in Avengers tower

Summary
AU with spoilers for The Bone Season and The Mime Order. The Rephaim openly control Scion. Voyants are London's elite. But even with her privileged upbringing, Paige has never been one to follow the rules and she isn't content with the status quo. This does not bode well for the quick approach of her permanent binding to her keeper, Arcturus.

Summary
Steve squawked as a hand wrapped loosely around his wrist. He braked, wings banking so hard he almost somersaulted over himself, and surged up and away from the ocean, spinning to find himself staring at—
A triton was laughing up at him, sharp teeth gleaming in the sunlight. Steve had seen tritons before. He knew what lurked under the water. The power and violence wrapped in muscle and skin.
The triton's grin turned knowing, like he could see what Steve was thinking. "Hey there, Feathers. You want to go for a swim?"

Summary
Dabi is in the strange position of hiding from his past by being really, ridiculously obvious to everyone from his past on national TV. With the League bar a smoking ruin, he jumps straight from The Bachelorette into Bachelor In Paradise with the hope that the program’s “secret” location and army of bodyguards will keep him from being kidnapped a second time… or. Well. A third time, really. He just needs to play it cool, but that’s hard when Hawks has followed him to Paradise too, and Dabi can’t seem to concentrate on any of the other contestants.
Hawks is in the strange position of playing secret bodyguard for the man he’s fallen for, because the only other informants for the HPSC’s darkest secrets have either disappeared or been killed. This piles more angst on top of his already-confusing crush. Is he even allowed to have a crush? Emotions are hard. Hawks is suffering.
Meanwhile Natsuo is horrified but vindicated when he learns that the details of his brother’s death were forged; half of the U.A. staff is on the hunt for Oboro Shirakumo, who called into a radio show despite being dead for over ten years; and the League may not be villains, but they don’t take an insult laying down.
