Date: 2016-07-28 07:48 pm (UTC)But he made it. They made it.
Mikasa and Eren are still by his side, he didn't lose them, the only family he has left is with him. Ready to face another day together and bear witness to a new dawn. The first rays of sunshine warm Armin's skin, light up his face and he almost believes he sees the faintest of smiles on Mikasa's face. Eren looks solemn, Armin knows he feels the same peace they experienced when they realized it was over. He's contemplating their new life. Once more.
They've reclaimed Wall Maria, they've won. There won't be any more Titan attacks, no more lies and secrets, and plots. No more fights for power.
All that's left is humanity's freedom.

Date: 2015-08-10 06:48 am (UTC)Fill: Riley + Capheus + Nomi
Date: 2015-08-14 11:02 am (UTC)Now, home again, she stands under Reykjavik's first snowfall and something about it hums, resonates deep within her, a part of her like her cluster is a part of her. It's just beginning to stick on the driveway and the road, but the lawns and fields and houses are a flat white, as far as she can see, and little flakes settle on her hair and shoulders and hands. She breathes in home.
"This is snow?"
Capheus has come, stretching halfway across the world for a peek—hardly dressed for the weather, but it doesn't seem to bother him. He grins up at the sky, delighted, and then tries to catch the flakes on his tongue. His joy sweeps her up too, infectious—she hasn't felt this awe for the snow since she was a child. Somewhere off out there, Kala smiles over her dinner, and Lito rolls over and tucks his blankets more tightly under his chin, and Nomi inhales half a mug of scalding coffee in one go.
"So this is why I've been so cold this morning." Nomi looks around the untouched landscape with interest tempered by sleep, blinking owlishly through the steam billowing from her mug. "Prettier than I remember."
"You don't get snow in San Francisco?"
"No, never." She smiles a little in memory. "I went to New York in March, once, but it was all ice and mud by then. Not much to look at."
"Look!" Capheus wanders back to show them the flakes he's caught on his fingers. With the body heat to melt them thousands of miles away, the tiny crystals stay frozen and perfect as they peer at them. "They say no two are alike—is it true?"
Riley shrugs. "I've never checked, myself."
Nomi hands off her coffee mug—Riley can feel the ghost of its heat through her gloves, like an echo—and tries to scrape enough snow together to make a snowball.
"It won't hold," Riley says, as Nomi squeezes the snow in long, bare fingers. "It's too soft." And sure enough, the snowball falls apart in Nomi's hands. She considers the remains thoughtfully a moment before dumping it unceremoniously down the collar of Capheus's shirt.
Capheus yelps and reels away. There was a time, not that long ago, that anything half so jarring would have broken the link and sent Capheus and Nomi home. But the cluster is stronger now, and instead, Capheus picks up a handful of snow and throws it at the both of them. Heavier than he thought, it falls a little short of its mark, but it's enough to spark a full-on snowmush fight of the kind Riley hasn't had since secondary school.
"It's hardly fair," Riley laughs when it dies down, and they all huddle together flushed and giggling. "You'll both get to go home dry and warm. I've got snow in my sweater." She shakes it out in demonstration.
"Next time we get snow, I'll invite you over to throw some at me," Nomi says, smiling, and is gone. Riley turns to Capheus, who's drinking in the scenery one last time.
"Will the snow still be here tomorrow?"
"And the next day, and the next, I expect. I'll be sick of it by next week. It'll be nice to have someone around to appreciate it." She cocks her head in his direction, and he grins again, wide and awed.
"Next week, then," he promises, and she feels the baking Nairobi heat on her skin for half an instant as he goes.
Riley stays a moment longer before she turns and trudges back towards the house, where a box of her favorite hot chocolate is sitting on the high shelf, and her father is humming over his newspaper, and outside the snow falls.

Date: 2016-07-29 08:34 am (UTC)"You were here," Bruce states taking the cup and drinking it like it's the last cup he's ever going to have. Wally grimaces, not understanding how one can drink coffee with no sugar or cream. "Isn't a bit early for those?"
"Bruce, were you desperately looking around for me? Did you think I fell of the bed--again?" Wally teases, making his tone as sugary sweet as he can --which is not difficult at all-- something gruff comes out of Bruce's mouth. "To answer you, it's never too early for a frozen treat, especially in this heat." Wally fans himself with his left hand, while he licks the bottom of his popsicle that's already melting, juice running down his finger and arms.
Bruce leaves his cup where it was before, his mouth is a thin line, a twitching on his eye imperceptible to the untrained eye. He's even more silent than usual.
"What? Is there something in my face?"
Bruce doesn't answer him, instead he moves closer backing Wally against the kitchen counter. "Wha--" He licks the corner of Wally's mouth and he's sure he fucking squeaks as Bruce's tongue works its way inside Wally's mouth, just tasting him. Wally drops his pop, wrapping his arms around Bruce's neck, sticky fingers digging in the skin he can reach. Tasting black coffee from Bruce's mouth is not as bad.
When they break away Wally is panting and Bruce has a self satisfied smirk that Wally wants to kiss him again. In fact he wants to be kissed by Bruce everyday for as long as possible. Even if he loses his breath.
"Alfred is not going to like the mess you made," Bruce points out looking at the red mess on the otherwise immaculate floor. Wally finds out he doesn't care because Bruce is kissing him again, so deep Wally's going to have a hard time going back to his apartment.

Date: 2016-07-29 07:36 am (UTC)"I'm freezing," he says making a show of shivering, "You would think the heating would be repaired first thing in the morning when there's a big probability a snow storm is coming, but no. I've been ignored." In fact his landlord answered in noncommittal monosyllables when he brought up the subject when he ran into him earlier in the day.
Bruce makes a sound that sounds like agreement. At least it does to Eddie. "If you weren't so stubborn you wouldn't have to suffer from this cold."
"Ha, are you seriously calling me stubborn?"
Eddie looks up at Bruce, tries to catch what he really meant. Sometimes it's like a game between where they have to read between the lines and guess the hidden meaning in their words. "Wait," Eddie begins, sitting up. "Is this you inviting me to stay over at your big scary mansion?"
"Not scary, and I suppose I am."
Eddie bites his lips to stop from smiling, he's never stayed at Bruce's for more than a few hours, not because of a lack of wanting, but because it never felt right. Not until now. He finally feels like his place in Bruce's life is clearer. "You're tired of slumming it here, I get it. I don't have a butler and fancy china."
"That's not--"
"Bruce, I'm gonna say yes. You're gonna have to fuck me in your huge bed for the next couple of days," Eddie answers causing him to chuckle and pull him down.
"Here's a preview," Bruce says against his lips, kissing him hard.
