(in this 'verse; warnings for character death, grief/mourning, panic attack/asthma attack (written by someone who has neither))

...


"Scott," Stiles says, sounding hesitant. Scott looks at his phone, confused, because Stiles hasn't sounded hesitant since the last time he broke one of Scott's transformers and that was, like, a decade ago.

"Stiles?" he asks. "What's wrong?"

He can hear Stiles take a deep breath. "I'm coming over there," he says. "My dad... I'm not supposed to know yet, but he - I'm coming over there."

Mom's at work, some conference that ran long. It's why she needed the car, why Allison had picked Scott up and dropped him off instead of the other way around. If Mom didn't have the car, it would've been Scott's turn. He could ride his bike to Stiles, but his breath is still shallow from Allison teaching him to use her bow.

"Stiles, what's wrong?" he asks again, but Stiles has already hung up.

So Scott has to wait.

.

Five minutes later, Stiles pulls into the driveway, which means he was already driving when he called. Scott waits on the porch, giving Stiles time to calm down, or whatever. It’s been a long time since Stiles had a panic attack, but Scott can clearly remember the last one. It was… horrifying. If Mom hadn’t been home –

But Mom was home. She’s not this time.

Stiles gets out of the jeep and slowly walks over to the porch, up the stairs. He doesn’t meet Scott’s eyes.

“I overheard my dad,” he says quietly. “On accident, this time. I’d just gotten home.” He looks at Scott for just a second before back down at the porch, and, yeah, Scott has noticed. Hell, everyone has noticed the sheriff’s son hanging out with an older guy, but Scott’s been waiting for Stiles to come to him the way he goes to Stiles about Allison. “He didn’t hear me come in,” Stiles continues, and now he’s wringing his hands.

What the hell could be so awful? This is almost like when Stiles’ mother died, when Dad left –

“Stiles,” Scott bursts in, because now it’s occurred to him, “my mom, is she – ”

“It’s not your mom,” Stiles says, voice barely there. “But something… Allison crashed into a tree, Scott, and something got her.”

He says more, but Scott can’t hear him. His breath is roaring in his ears, and he can’t catch it, and –

.

When he comes to, his mom is holding him and Stiles is beside them on the couch. “Oh, my baby, sweetie, lovie,” Mom is crooning, one hand stroking the back of his head. His face is buried in her shoulder and he still can’t quite catch his breath.

He can’t –

Not Allison –

He turns his head to look at Stiles. “Does your dad know?” he croaks out.

“Not yet,” Stiles says. “But it’ll – you’ll be okay, Scott. I swear you will.” His voice breaks, and Scott knows he’s thinking about his mom, how it’s been years and nothing’s okay yet.

Scott doesn’t say anything, just turns back to his mother and lets himself cry.

author's choice, author's choice, extreme crafting: "What? I saw it on Pinterest!" / "You have far too much free time."

Minifill, MCU, Pepper Potts + Tony Stark

[classics-lover.livejournal.com]

"Why is the Company's expenditure gone so high? The only irregularity is the volume of ... handicraft supplies? Handicraft supplies. Why is that even on the list of Company expenditures? Tony?"

Pepper's voice went from bored to confused to annoyed surprisingly quickly, Tony thought, or maybe it wasn't so surprising, really, given quite how much glitter glue he'd purchased on the Stark Industries account.

"Pepper, I'm an inventor, I need ... stuff ... in order to invent. And sometimes I need vast quantities of that ... stuff," Tony said, offering his patented Charming Rogue Smile.

"Tony," Pepper said flatly, tapping her pen on the desk in the way that said she was really annoyed.

Oh, right, the Charming Rogue Smile (TM) worked on everyone BUT Pepper. Tony kept forgetting that.

"If you must know," Tony said, trying this time for arrogant indifference.

"I must," Pepper interrupted.

Dammit, she'd been working for him for too long, she knew all his tricks.

"I saw it on Pinterest. And frankly, given some of the things I've made in the past, I would have thought you'd be happy that the most dangerous item in the lab right now is the glitter glue gun and dried macaroni."

"I ... am, in a weird way that's totally normal when it comes to you, but Tony - you have your own money and that's what you should be using for these projects. Neither of us wants the IRS breathing down our necks asking why we spent a hundred million on paint and glitter, so we?" Pepper asked, in that pleading tone of voice that meant she was about to get her own way. Tony just couldn't fight that particular tilt of the head, and those sad, imploring eyes. The next bit was going to be embarrassing.

Tony cleared his throat. "There is a perfectly good reason why I charged all that stuff to the Company, Pepper, and the IRS can go - do something to itself that's humanly impossible if they start sniffing around my Company again, by the way."

"That's ... charming," Pepper muttered sardonically. "What is the very good reason, Tony? And it had better be very good indeed if you ever want to use that account again. For anything."

"I ... uh ... I don't know my credit card number."
