    Summary

    "Everyone who knew the two of them before notices there’s been a change between them, even if they can’t quite put their finger on what it is. They whisper in the back of classrooms, using words and phrases no one else can understand, and shoot matching glares at anyone trying to eavesdrop. They defend each other, fighting tooth and nail at the smallest insult, but only in ways that can never be properly explained to a teacher or get them sent to the principal’s office. They tell lies for each other with sincere convincing faces, and don’t even feel a little bit bad about it afterward.

    'Dangerously codependent,' whisper the adults to each other.

    'Creepy, like those kids from The Shining,' agree all of their classmates.

    But Dipper and Mabel don’t care."

     

    Or, the Pines Twins leave Gravity Falls at the end of the summer, fundamentally changed, and come back to a city where everything has stayed exactly the same. They'll need each other's support and understanding now more than ever.

    Summary

    “My god,” Stanley says. “You’re losin’ it, Sixer.”

    “I am not,” Ford snaps, except—

    Except, well, Ford knows he has a tendency towards paranoia—and, sure, ever since Bill fried his brain he’s been known to see a few things that aren’t there. But this is different.

    “I’m not,” Ford repeats, more quietly. “I’m not crazy.”

    Or: a story about ghosts and the gravity that pulls a mind apart.

    Summary

    The thing is that, even in the face of imminent danger and the end of the world, Dewey loves his brothers. He always has. He’s never fought with them in any way that matters, even when he did something so diabolical as not telling them about their mom when he first found out. Even when things have gone wrong, when he’s made a misstep, when they’ve been fractured and split over hundreds of things—he loves them, and they love him. They all feel for each other, deeply and without abandon.

    And so, it’s with pain in his heart that he submits the application for St. Canard University and doesn’t tell them until he gets the acceptance (or denial—he really isn’t positive) letter two weeks after Christmas.

    Summary

    He opened his eyes with a gasp, back home, safe in his hammock and the warmth of his boat, the sway as comforting as it had always been.

     

    He went to the kitchen, took the biggest mug he had left, and made his third cup of hot chocolate in vain hope it would help him sleep. His hopes dwindled more and more as the clock ticked closer to dawn.

    Summary

    “I knew I could make you fall for me again, m’lady,” he said smugly.

    “Leave me alone already! I have enough to worry about without some annoying guy in a catsuit that works with a terrorist!”

    “Oh, same! I have homework to complete before class. You know, since I had to leave before I could finish. It was really annoying, honestly. It’s like people just don’t care about how busy I am with these akumas.”

    “Your buddy is the one who sends these akumas!” she snapped at him.

    He sighed heavily. “Yeah, well, he doesn’t care about my schedule, either.”

    ---

    Marinette is really confused by Chat Noir - on the other hand, he works with Hawk Moth and always chases her to try and prevent her from escaping after akuma attacks so she'll de-transform in the open and he'll be able to take her Miraculous. On the other hand... he's so friendly and flirty - not to mention kind of helpful.

    She has no idea what to think... until one evening he gives her a visit.
