Summary
Jaime Reyes struggles interacting with the little voice inside his head, who not only has partial control over his body but also only bothers to communicate internally. This takes “battling with his inner demon” to a whole new level and makes for some rather unique conversations. If only his teammates knew what sort of backseat driver he dealt with in and out of costume.
Or: It's hard to act like a regular hero when an artificial intelligence is fused to your spine and constantly wants to wipe out any and all threats, whether or not they are.

Summary
Even before becoming a superhero Nino was no stranger to protecting those around him. Since the birth of his baby brother Chris, he understood the importance of watching over those precious to him and keeping a steady vigilance over his family whether they needed his protection or not. Over time, it became less of a need and more of a want, longing to support those close to him as it spilled into his daily life.

Summary
At first, picking up the hedgehog had been a whim, some instinctive impulse to save a hapless creature from the outside realm. The city streets were no place to roam at night, let alone search in hope of food and shelter.
Collecting the over-eager animal was simple as it nosed at his pants with all too trusting eyes. And wasn’t that just another reason to scoop up this tiny thing who seemed so willing to go with any odd patron who walked by.
But arriving back at the hotel room was when Licht realized his first folly: he knew next to nothing about how to care for his latest hitchhiker.

Summary
In the days set after the not so end of the world, now henceforth dubbed as “The End...or Is It?,” the remainder of the once formidable Umbrella Academy decided to remain at their old haunt and try to mend the strenuous and blatantly fucked-up relationships patented by Daddy dearest. It wasn’t without complaint and the occasional stepping of toes (once even literally when moving luggage up the stairwell), but the six, err seven, siblings managed to co-exist without any major damage for the first several days. It wasn’t until the eighth day that something amiss occurred which didn’t include superpowers or cramming a multitude of ill-managed adults under one roof. Rather, it was Luther who noticed the food storage or lack thereof when exploring the pantry.

Summary
Molded by Sir Reginald Hargreeves, the Umbrella Academy is designed to be lethal and effective, utilizing their powers to eliminate threats and enemies alike. The carnage they leave is unlike any other and each is their own brand of terror. However, there is one that never lives up to the potential of their siblings, never manifests their powers for the thrill of the kill.
(Or: The members of the Umbrella Academy each leave behind a trail of bodies and destruction in their wake using their powers but for little number Four there is only heartache.)

Summary
"Do you know what just happened?" Peter asked, frowning. "Do you know what Derek did?"
"He dislocated my shoulder," Stiles snapped, but Peter just arched an eyebrow, unimpressed by that answer.

Summary
"Our Nile may have missed her calling,” Nicky says with a choked, hoarse laugh. “She should have been an actor. Or a surgeon.”
Then he slumps over in Joe's arms, unconscious, and Nile drops the scalpel, spins around, and throws up on the carpet.

Summary
"Honestly, she’s only 90% sure that Nicky is the white guy and Joe is the Middle Eastern guy. She’s been waiting for somebody to drop a name to 100% confirm it, but Andy just calls them 'Joeandnicky', and they call each other a lot of stuff in a bunch of different languages that are probably pet names."

Joe, Nicky, and Nile are on dogsitting duty.

Summary
Nicolo Genova, or Nicky to his American friends, is just trying to get through his PhD program. He's writing his dissertation on Post-classical homoerotic poetry, but he cannot find anyone who speaks an extinct dialect of Arabic so he can translate a famed love poem by a little known poet, al-Kaysani.
Strangely enough, his friend knows a professor on campus who can translate the poem. What starts as a simple request for assistance on his dissertation blossoms into something that Nicky -- shy, reserved Nicky who abandoned his plans for the priesthood months before ordination -- had never imagined for himself: true love.
What he doesn't know is that Dr. Joseph Jones (his handsome, erudite, kind, lovely Joe) is harboring a secret too large for anyone to believe -- and that secret might just cost them everything.

Summary
Sarwa is ladling stew into bowls and she hands the first one to Yusuf, who passes it to Nicolo and takes a drink from the now filled flask. “Is he your lover?” she asks.
Yusuf chokes on water and Nicolo pounds his back, eyebrows peaked with concern.
“I—” Yusuf pauses, wiping his streaming eyes.
Sarwa looks at him, nothing but mild curiosity on her face.
Yusuf glances at Nicolo. The firelight paints his cheekbones flickering gold, his eyes hooded and sleepy in the dim light.
“I don’t know what he is,” Yusuf finally admits, still looking at Nicolo.
Nicolo’s mouth quirks and he takes another bite of soup.
“He looks at you like you belong to him,” Sarwa says.
Nicolo keeps eating, oblivious to what they’re saying.
“I think he belongs to me too,” Yusuf whispers.
