It wasn’t the first time they’d had a fight, and it wasn’t the first time Impulse had been angry at him.
The worst part was, Scott knew exactly why Impulse was angry at him.
He feigned ignorance.

Summary
Ren's head feels full of cotton- like he has a cold, like he might pass out. He can't feel his fingers. He's soaked to the bone from the blood rain, his clothes stained with red.
"Don't do this," Martyn whispers. He already sounds defeated.
He already knows what Ren will say.

Sorry About the Blood in Your Mouth by starlight_matrix

Summary
What would you like? I'd like my money's worth.
Try explaining a life bundled with episodes of this-
Swallowing mud, swallowing glass,
The smell of blood on the first four knuckles.We pull our boots on with both hands,
But we can't punch ourselves awake,
And all I can do is stand on the curb and say:Sorry about the blood in your mouth.
I wish it was mine.- "Little Beast" by Richard Siken

Summary
“You know,” Grian said, “on my first server, some people used the moon to say, I love you. You’d find your person and tell them, The moon looks beautiful tonight. It’s an indirect way of telling them you love them, without actually saying it. Bit of a cliché, if you ask me.”
—
Grian’s hands loosened around his. Mumbo grabbed back onto them, feeling suddenly much too warm in the snow. “Hey.” He cleared his throat, and Grian tilted his head at him curiously. “The moon. It’s, uh… the moon. It’s...”
Too close. The moon was much too close.
“Grian,” he whispered, “is the moon big?”
—OR: Mumbo Jumbo grapples with two equally impossible problems: the oncoming end of the world, and how to tell Grian he's in love with him.

Summary
There is this:
Roy, gasping: "Fullmetal--"
"I've been Ed to you for years, Roy." As he slides his automail leg against Roy's thigh. "Or is there something you want to tell me?"
Fullmetal was dangerous, a force of nature, but Ed evokes a terrifying cacophony of warm emotions in Roy's chest, fondness and exasperation and some measure of awe, and comradery, of intellectual challenge and a measure of truly equal partnership that Roy never imagined having, comfort in his own home and his own skin, and all told Fullmetal's the safer option.
"You've caught me out." He gasps, fingers curling in the sheets. "I'm just with you for the automail."
Ed snorts.
"Liar." he mouths, smiling, across Roy's shoulder blades, the tickle of golden hair cascading in his wake.

Center Stage by Amethystfairy1

Summary
He wasn’t sure why he even bothered to come…much less why he was here before 7 AM. But it wasn’t like he’d done much sleeping in the past three months, anyway. He’d gotten an email that the performing arts department was reopening it’s doors to faculty who were still in the city, those who wanted to root through their offices or even just try to get back to routine.
Routine...? Come in, check the broken stage lights…fix up things upon these very same boards where he’d sat for long hours surrounded by grading papers and an extremely uncooperative tablet.
How strange, to ask that of him. To ask him to just settle back in as if he were full again when he was bled so dry by the past three months he only could think of one thing that might refill him. Here he was, center stage...and this really was something out of a playbook.
{In which Martyn performs to an empty crowd, Ren runs fast, Scott is still a bit delirious, and Jimmy is just happy to be here.}
