Summary
Leon knew touch far better than most would assume. It was the agony of a swift kick to the ribs, the clasp of fingers around the throat, or the strippage of personhood and individuality. The Government, the military training, the disaster at Raccoon City, even that orphanage from his childhood; all his life, Leon had been surrounded by a sea of meaningless and painful contact.
Hands were to be pinned or broken, never tenderly held. So, that impulsive decision to hold Luis Serra's hand as he'd died really hadn't been something Leon foresaw coming back to bite him in the ass. Irregardless, it had, and now Leon possessed no clue about how to combat it all. Rather than weaponising this one universal tool, Luis' touch instead verged on the unbearable. It was careful, gentle, and tender. It was agony in all the opposite ways than those Leon had come to expect.
How was he supposed to hold a hand so gently when he'd only ever been taught to break things? How was Leon meant to endure this when it all hurt so terribly?
Aka. Leon is very touch starved and dealing with the consequences of that are hard

Summary
Life hasn't lent many good choices to infamous outlaw Luis Serra Navarro. It's probably why the world finds a way to catastrophically ruin his most recent attempt to go straight (or as straight as someone like him feasibly can, anyway). It appears that the shackles of the Los Illuminados gang are far more tedious to break free from than he'd hoped.
Out of the frying pan and into the fire, or however that saying goes. Luis slips his head free of Saddler's noose, only to end up stumbling into a very physical one. Sheriff Graham seems a merciless man, the sort one can't bargain with. Lucky for Luis, the man's Deputy slash Bounty Hunter, Leon S. Kennedy, doesn't seem quite so infallible.
The agreement to rescue the missing Sheriff's daughter from his ex-gang sounds like a disaster in the making, but this might be the only opportunity he's going to get. So, whatever keeps him out of that swinging rope, right?

Summary
Primal Dialga is defeated, the Future of Darkness has ended, and second chances have been granted. A new day begins, the first in many decades to be graced by the warmth of sunlight. Grovyle's lifelong mission has been achieved and he can finally take solace in a job well done.
Except, where does he go from here? With the planet no longer paralysed, there is seemingly little for him to do. Where once there had been Hope and a battle for justice, now there is only faded memories and peace. Grovyle doesn't know how he's supposed to move on with his life. He doesn't know how he's supposed to pretend everything is fine when his best friend has forgotten him.
Celebi and Dusknoir remain by his side, and perhaps he can learn what it truly means to be alive with their support. Still, he worries happiness isn't in the cards for him. It's hard to figure out this living thing when he'd never once envisioned an actual future for himself.

Summary
Sometimes the most curious objects work as vessels for our love. A lone lab key is all that Leon has left of the man, it's once polished surface now dulled and dented. He's learnt how to live with regret, but that doesn't mean he has to forget. Doesn't mean he has to stop dreaming.

Summary
Struggling through a strange, hostile town while attempting to locate the President’s missing daughter, Leon begins to doubt his ability to complete this mission. He's never been able to save the people he's cared about before. The people he's cared about have never bothered to stay before. He’s very aware attachments only exist to break his heart. So why then, does he find himself growing closer with the smooth-talking Luis Serra? It’s bound to end in disaster, especially when one of you are shackled and not really sticking around voluntarily.
Aka. What if Luis and Leon stuck together after the chain scene? How would such a simple, single event change things?
Canon rewrite, except I play extremely fast and loose with canon and everyone is Mentally ill and a Disaster because I say so

Summary
Charon is privy to the vast amount of knowledge pertaining to the denizens of the Underworld. But very few know anything regarding him. That is until, of course, he meets a certain someone.
Alternatively: a series of loosely connected vignettes following Charon through several moments leading up to the events of the game.

Aromamtic Charon rep lets go. Very good character study and exploration of what it means to love

Summary
It was only once he was worried about a second wave of tears that Normal realized he had stopped crying. Taking a couple deep breaths, he scrubbed his other hand across his eyes messily, and finally looked up into the face of the person comforting him.
It was Hermie, because of course it was Hermie. It couldn’t have been anyone else. Hermie, who remembered the little details about him, like the time when Normal talked about his occasional meltdowns: limbs and torso are off-limits when I'm freaked out, but hands are okay to touch. Anything else, and I start to feel a bit suffocated.
Hermie sat there, holding Normal's hand and looking as Hermie-ish as he ever had.
“Can you be him? Please?” Normal heard his voice crack. “I need you to be him.”
Hermie smiled at him sadly. “I think we both know that I wasn’t very good at being Hermie even when I was alive.”
-
post-ep 51. Normal is having a hard time dealing with the fact that his dead crush is suddenly right there next to him, and Hermie 2.0 talks him through it. If you are (like me) wondering, "how much Hermie-ness does Willy Scampler actually contain?" then you've come to the right place.

Summary
It starts in Paris.
“You can’t steal things just because you like them,” Sam tells Bucky, feeling innately that this is a losing battle, and Bucky cocks his head to the side, considers Sam very thoughtfully.
“Really,” he says. “I’m stealing you, aren’t I?”

Some of the loveliest imagery and symbolism worked in from scenery/objects. Great exploration of recovery and healing after loss
