Tara flew to his shoulder and gazed down with him, taking in the scene.“Do you see it?” he whispered. “What…”“I see it.” She rubbed her cheek against his, her tail curling around his hunched shoulders.“What does it mean?”“It means hope, Gale. It means something real.” --- Gale is a divination wizard, but a mere shadow of his former glory. Aoife is an Oath of the Ancients paladin, haunted by the grief of her past. After a fateful meeting a year ago Aoife's path crosses the Wizard of Waterdeep's once more.

“Who are you?” Keith demanded, excitedly putting his free hand to his cheek. “What’s your name?” “Eat the cracker, Keith.” “Did god send you? Are you an angel?” Keith didn’t look very frightened as this concept of being dead worked its way out of him. Lance ran a hand through his own hair, smiling wryly. “Please, eat the cracker, Keith.” “What’s your name?” Keith’s voice cracked, desperately, excitedly. “Please. Who are you?” “My name is Lance,” Lance paused, nerves sitting uncomfortably in the bottom of his stomach– deep, in the part he never searched. He licked his lips and ran a hand through his unwashed hair. “I’m, um, I’m your fiancé.”

“This young man claims to have been invited by you personally.”Tony has learned to read Happy’s expressions. That one is disapproval, and it’s highly familiar. “Peter is helping me out in the workshop today.”“Why?”“Uh.” Tony has enough presence of mind not to carelessly throw Peter’s alternative identity around. “He won a competition.”Happy’s expression flickers, grows tense. “I did not approve any competition that included a trip to Avengers Tower.”“Okay. Well. If we had theoretically organized a competition, he would definitely have won it.”-Tony’s life lately has been a perfect storm of incompetence. But perhaps he can get some solid spiritual advice from a mischievous teenager with a secret identity he meets by the side of the road one evening, like a lucky little leprechaun. If only Happy would stop being so paranoid about Tony inviting a random kid into Avengers Tower, sheesh.

He has been there to see all of that. The entire 'Been there, done that' scenario. It wouldn't have been the first time that he's been "courted" or "confessed" to (by those suicidal people), but this is most definitely the first time he's seen something like this. It shocks him, at first, but Rivaille is determined to take it too far and push Eren away without having to say a word (since Eren is the one that asked him to.) This is the simplest route. Not that Rivaille can't fit into the role. Of course he can, and it comes to him as naturally as breathing. Eren's the masochistic little shit that refuses to stop.
