    Summary

    The clunky purple hearing aids are new, as are the sweeping, intricate patterns of black and purple ink escaping from under the rolled sleeves of his flannel, but it’s still him. Bucky could identity that soft mess of blond hair in his dreams - does, sometimes, his subconscious remembering that familiar lanky walk and off-kilter smile.

    As Bucky stares he catches the belt loop of the girl’s jeans and tugs gently so she’s not in Tony’s face. She rolls her eyes but obeys with an air that suggests she’s just humouring him. A second later he turns and his eyes meet Bucky’s. His lips tilt up into a ghost of a smile, the smile Bucky’s been thinking about for the last two years.

    He turns around so he doesn’t have to look.

    Summary

    Bucky is so competent that it hurts my feelings is not a rational complaint to have about a person, and yet, after a year of being Captain America and partnering up with Bucky for the new and improved, post-Blip Avengers, that’s kinda how Sam’s feeling.

    It’s not great. It maybe leads to Sam making some rash, ill-advised decisions like claiming he has a previously undisclosed superpower, and then getting caught in a web of lies when he ends up actually developing that surprisingly inconvenient superpower. Talking to birds had seemed like a harmless superpower, but it turns out that birds have a lot of opinions, and they don’t hesitate to tell Sam about them, especially when it comes to his supposedly subpar courting skills. Which is ridiculous, because Sam isn’t courting Bucky. Right?

    Summary

    Everything, for the rest of the night, is just natural. They naturally head back into Stiles’ room, where Stiles naturally hands Lydia a Beacon Hills lacrosse t-shirt with his name stamped onto the back. It’s natural when Lydia steals Stiles’ hairbrush and he asks her if he can help her, and he does, tracing it as gently as he can over the silky strands that are dripping water onto his plaid comforter.

    And when Lydia falls asleep buried under Stiles’ duvet, folded inside of his arms, that’s the most natural thing they’ve ever done.

    Summary

    It's been a few weeks since Derek's return to Beacon Hills when he collapses in his kitchen. He's never been to an ER before and never thrown up so many times in his life or felt too horrible for more than the time it takes a wound to heal.

    Luckily, the hot young doctor doesn't seem to mind that he also flirts when he gets nervous.

    All in all not the best way to spend his first month back in California. But it could be the start of something new.

    Summary

    The blur in front of him sharpens.

    It’s human-shaped, that blur. Then face-shaped. Then—oh—hot-face-shaped, with a five-o’clock shadow, long-ish hair, and seriously blue eyes. And, fuck. That jaw.

    Peter… knows that jaw? He also knows the metal arm, although it’s not the one he caught in Germany. It was different when that happened—the first time Peter had worked with Mr. Stark, and also had his first ‘Do I like dick? I might like dick’ revelation. Jesus, it was so long ago, and what a truly fucked-up day to reconnect with a blast from his pubescent sexual confusion.

    Peter attempts to get up, gets very softly pushed back down with a frown, opens his stupid mouth, and, still a lot out of it, lets this slip past his filter:

    “In my defense, I was imagining a robot uprising.”
