Summary
Ino kicked at a pebble on the ground, her arms folded across her chest. “How long?”
Shikamaru sighed and pulled the cigarette away from his lips. “The war."
It was a lie somewhat. He’d liked her since they were kids but had simply ignored the budding crush expecting it to fade over time. It hadn’t and by the time the war came around, he accepted he would always carry it despite his increasing efforts to drop it. He’d tried drowning it in the river, burning it in a fire, covering it up with something else. But it was all to no avail. It stuck with him, always apart of him.
“Have you ever told anyone? Chouji? Her?”
"No."

Summary
Sandrock needed a builder. Lucy needed a fresh start. What better place to reinvent yourself than a wasteland town that also needs reinventing?
In matters of romance, Lucy wades in limbo between logic and emotion. As she navigates what she truly wants out of a relationship, she finds an unlikely confidant in Pen, helps Owen with his own love and loss, and ultimately uncovers what she never knew she was looking for in Logan.

Summary
He watches, his thoughts a jumbled mess of malice and mirth, as the poor vendor sweats and stammers.
Every needle and thread he ever owned he did unspeakable acts for, just to keep the clothes on his back from fraying, from flaying the way his skin so often did.
He sees as his companion lowballs the merchant and yet the trade is made, and the fine satin fabric is hers for the taking.
She gifts it to him with a smile, and he knows not how to react.
~*~
Or: Five times Astarion is reminded of owning nothing, and five times his traveling companion gifts him trinkets to change that.

Summary
"My love, look at me."
And she does, if not by his command, then by instinct.
"Smile for me, will you? Can you do that for me?"
And she does precisely as commanded, her lips turning upward and raising to reveal two sharp teeth— and nothing more. It's uncanny and revolting and wrong. There is nothing behind her eyes, nothing at all. No light, no life, and certainly no love.
There must be a way to undo this. To save her. To bring her back to him. There must be.
He would give anything to see her smile again. Truly smile.
