Never Have I Ever Cut Off My Nose Just to Spite My Face (Loki TV, MCU) | Loki leaned back against the couch cushions, reaching up to loosen his tie as Mobius prattled on about AARs and TVRs and several other acronyms that Loki was sure he was supposed to recognize. It was late; usually by now heād be sliding into a hot bath with a glass of wine, letting the day wash away. And while he had the wineāhis goblet was half-full, sitting on the coffee tableāhe was in Mobiusās office, which was far from a warm bath.
Challenge Accepted (Shadowhunters) | Simon fluffed a throw pillow and carefully set it in the corner section of his couch before taking a step back and looking at the whole area with a critical eye.
All We Have Are the Choices That We Make (Crossover b/w The Adjustment Bureau & MCU) | David still went by the bar sometimes. Not very often; his every move was tracked by the press since he won the election, but every once in a while he could slip in and have a beer before someone noticed him. Charlie always gave him shit for it, and David knew heād have to stop eventually, at least if he ran for a higher office. It wouldnāt do to have a presidential candidate slumming it at a Brooklyn bar.
Bring Your Dog to Work Day (Hawkeye comics) | Clint shoved his cell in his pocket, sighing as he stood up from the bench. So much for a couple of days off. He whistled for Lucky, who paused in his grass-sniffing to look back at Clint, his ears cocked towards him.
Crystal Clear (MCU) | Phil looked over various posters tacked to the community bulletin board as he waited for the coffee to finish brewing. The break room wasnāt busy; there were only a couple of agents sitting at a nearby table, which wasnāt unusual in the late afternoon on the week before Christmas.
The Way the Story Ends (The Magicians) | It had hurt, when the blue flames erupted all over his body. Quentin remembered hearing screaming; first, Everettās as he realized what Quentin was doing, and then Aliceās and Pennyās, and then his own. The pain was agonizing, but there was a kind of peace with it, especially when he saw Penny yank Alice out of the room.Ā
Why We Fight (MCU) | Thanos had been dead for a month when Natasha kissed Steve. Heād been living in a haze since that day at the Garden, stumbling through a fog of sadness and regret and fear and so much anger he scared himself.
Girl's Night (Hawkeye TV, MCU) | After the chaos that made up her Christmas break, Kate wasnāt sure what a return to normal life would be like, since her ānormal lifeā didnāt really exist anymore. Her mom had only spent a day in jail, but seeing as Kate was the one that put her there, she wasnāt speaking to Kateāwhich was fine, because Kate wasnāt speaking to her either.
So Crazy (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) | The vampire crumbled to dust in front of her, and Buffy let out a small exhale, focusing on scanning the tombstones for any more vamps andĀ notĀ on the heat swirling in her belly.
One Night at a Time (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) | As soon as she saw who was waiting for her behind the glass partition, Faith knew. When Willowās eyes caught hers, and Faith saw the grief and exhaustion that Willow seemed to be drowning in, she knew.
