Into the Grey by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
breakthecitysky PG Ben, Cooper. It's short and 100% amazing.
“You can’t save everyone,” Cooper says, and Ben knows that’s right.
It still takes everything in him though, not to turn and say, “Yeah. But you saved me.”
by the same author Ache is Hiding, Hoping
He watches Cooper, but Coop’s as hard to read as ever, that calm, easy face, the eyes that know how to keep secrets. He meets Laurie, which is weird, because it’s hard to imagine Cooper with anyone, really. They get in the car, they head back to Los Angeles. He gets a few more glimpses. He gets that glimpse.
He watches Cooper’s profile as he talks about his dead friend. About seeing him in gay bars, and getting ignored. He watches for any sort of flicker of reaction in that face, for regret, or loss, maybe even anger, but he can’t seem to find it. Just another peek into a part of Cooper that Ben’s never had access to and as greedy as he wants to be he can’t bring himself to ask for more. He just lets it go, hang in the air before dissipating, eyes moving back to the road.
It’s not like he stops thinking about it, though.
Star Trek
Earth Kids are Assholes Gen Spock and Kirk meet in a different way. When he gets back to his aunt's house, his mother asks him what happened to him, and he says, "I made a friend."
She arches one eyebrow. Others would say 'almost as well as a Vulcan,' but she is his mother, and he knows better. She says, "With your fists?"
He thinks about it. "Yes. With my fists."
His aunt laughs. "Congratulations, Amanda. He's finally mastered the culture of eleven-year-old human boys."
Spock doesn't understand the joke, but it makes his mother smile.
Supernatural
Vagabondage byrivkat NC-17 Wincest Dean shrugged. “What, I can’t have fantasies? Look, I do something crazy unsafe, it’s gotta be hunting evil. Otherwise it’s just stupid.” People who weren’t them were either dangerous or not yet proven dangerous, and he could handle that ordinarily. But letting himself get disarmed and under someone else’s control--he’d be taking too big a risk of leaving Sam behind, and no matter how hot the thought got him there was no way it was worth that price.
Sam closed his mouth. Then, with the deliberation of someone drunker than he ought to have been, he reached for the bottle on the nightstand between them and took three long swallows, throat rippling as he tilted the bottle up. When he put it back, it rocked and nearly tipped over, until Dean reached out to save it.
While Dean was occupied with that, Sam said, “There are ways. If you wanted.”
The Vampire Diaries - vids
The Little Things bysilviakundera Who says Because Damon and Elena's friendship is 1 part honesty, 1 part coming through when it counts, and 3 parts making awesome faces at each other I'd watch a show of Damon and Elena hanging out, no questions asked so this vid is a very happy place for me.
Fic
A Corner of Your Heart bytigs PG Damon/Elena (Elena/Stefan, Caroline/Matt). This is a fun light hearted fic. I love the dialog and the characters getting a chance to be themselves without all the things that go bump in the night.
Elena says, "Care— Damon—" but Caroline grins and Damon just smiles ingratiatingly and holds out a single rose, because he knows how to play the gentleman. Those of Elena’s sisters that are on the first floor are looking between Damon and Elena and Elena knows that they're wondering if this is the infamous Stefan. Maybe Damon knows it too, because he says, loudly enough for all the gossips to hear, "My brother wouldn't want you to miss this night because of him."
So, under Caroline's direction, Elena gets pulled back upstairs. Halfway up the staircase, though, they pause so Caroline can say, "Most of the guys are hanging out in the basement. Try not to eat any of them alive, okay?"
Ignorance is Bliss Until They Take Your Bliss Away bydevilc Mature Jeremy Gilbert/Tyler Lockwood
Tyler laughs and says, "You are so hung up on her. She's gone. Get over it."
Anger bubbles up in Jeremy like water from hidden spring. He's so fucking sick of it. Sick of the people he loves dying on him. Sick of Elena and Stefan and their secrets. Sick of people treating him like he's five. Sick of all the pretending. Sick of all the lies.
see us all as lonely fires byomfgsh Bonnie, PG When Bonnie Bennett falls apart, the world does the same. Bonnie doesn’t (shouldn’t) fall apart. She’s solid, reliable, and Bonnie. Her life is dull, the slots neatly aligning with no space left for the fantastic or the horrible.
But it does happen and this is how it goes: She leaves. She’s scared and she leaves.
