Summary
“I was sent on this journey to protect all of you.” Even as close as they were, Pippin could barely hear the elf. “I failed.”
Legolas’ hand slipped out of his and found the bandages at his wrists, touching them with the tips of his fingers. “All of my training, all of the centuries I have spent fighting until my fingers split open and my palms became raw… it was all for nothing when it counted most.”
“But–”
“Please, Pippin. I do not wish to talk any more.”
“Alright.” Pippin swallowed back the guilt rising in his throat. Pulling his wrist away from Legolas’ hand, he took it in his own once more, pressing it to his chest.
“So you can feel I’m still here, even when you sleep,” he explained quietly.
(Legolas and Pippin have been rescued by the Fellowship. As they continue their quest towards Mordor, they find that not every wound can be fixed with just medicine, and that more terrible ones may be forming just below the surface.)
(Sequel to Fool of a Took so unless you like being confused you should probably take a gander at that one first.)

Summary
The Thranduilion features were there: fine boned, aristocratic, unmistakable, but they sat strangely on him, as if someone had taken a prince and taught him to live like a weapon, and now the weapon was being asked to smile nicely and call it reintegration.
Years after being stolen and dragged into Dol Guldur, Legolas has clawed his way back to a home that now feels like a foreign land. He doesn’t want a throne, he wants the South Watch and the anonymity of the barracks.
But they all remember the child that was lost, and the shadows of the South are long.

Summary
Dog days are the hottest periods of the year, when the sun shines brighter and the weather feels too humid. Days like these often cause for people to lack motivation to participate on any sort of activities.
This leads us to the second meaning of dog days: these days can also mean inactivity or laziness; lack of action, and/or motivation to act.
It had been a hot day when Ryuji lost everything. The sun burning his skin as everything in his life fell apart right before his eyes.
Then, he began with sluggishness the day where he met the one who gave meaning to everything again. How funny, how he had thought of staying in bed that morning, not realizing how the events of this day would mark a difference in his life.
The end came to him on dog days, but so did the beginning.

Summary
Shoto hesitates. “You don’t need to worry about me.”
It’s the first thing he’s said so far that’s true.
Aizawa puts his pen down and tries to hold his gaze. “Don’t I?”
Shoto does look away this time, out to the common room, where his classmates are melted into couches and rugs. No, Sensei doesn’t need to worry about him. But things have been… That is, ever since Endeavor became Number One, he’s been…
or,
Shoto meets his long-dead brother by chance, in a dingy alley, a month before a week-long break from school. It all kind of snowballs from there.
