Lance is sick of being painted as the joker, the flirt; shoved aside and seeing the others receiving praise but him. When he reaches the end of his rope, Lance withdraws inside himself. If they wanted him to shut up, he could at least do that right.

“Thorin, son of Thrain, son of Thror”, announced Balin. “May I present to you, Miss Belladonna Baggins.” He paused a moment for effect. “Your wife.” In an Erebor that never saw the wrath of Smaug, after the death of Thror, rule falls to Thrain, who, determined to not allow his mountain to suffer in the same way it did under Thror's rule, arranges a marriage contract between a chosen gentlehobbit of the Shire and Thorin, to be activated upon his death, in hopes of creating an Erebor less reliant on monetary wealth for surivival. Thus, a grieving Thorin is thrown into a marriage with a woman he has never met. Full of resentment, he can never hope to love this Hobbit who knows nothing of their customs. Billa Baggins, inheritor of a marriage contract, is hardly thrilled either. A late present for Shivi, who had a terrible nightmare some time ago, to make her feel better :)

After four years of keeping his feelings to himself, Damian has come to terms with the idea that his respective crushes on Dick and Jason will never amount to anything. Especially when the two are already so contentedly in a relationship with each other. For him to see the truth takes a little intervention (something the pair are both more than happy to provide).

In a world where each person is born with their soulmate's name inscribed upon their wrist, John Watson, tattoo artist, often finds himself covering them up for people.

Tobirama has never had the talent for choosing well-received gifts for other people (he still remembers seven year old Hashirama's shriek and subsequent flailing when he'd discovered his birthday present from his younger brother trying to slither its way back to freedom), but he is certain that this eminently more practical and less... reptilian venture will prove a greater success.
