Summary
"Don't—" but what could Kara say? Don't tell anyone, maybe, but there was no way, not a single chance in hell, that Cat would keep her secret. She was a news reporter, she was the news reporter, and revealing Supergirl's identity would guarantee that she never fell from the top. "Don't."

Summary
Alice knew she’d later make plans to run far, far away. She didn’t want to stay with her sister and do paperwork and be sad. She didn’t want to attend a funeral, and she didn’t want her entire class to tell her “Sorry for your loss.” She didn’t want to read sympathy cards or open up pity gifts. Alice didn’t want to mourn. But for now, while the stars were still out, Alice just wanted to lay in Alfred’s arms and do just that.
Or, how Alice Spencer's parents died.

Jotaro stares blankly at his reflection in the mirror of his room. His hair is slicked back and neck tie in perfect order, even the cuffs of his jacket seem almost flawless. At first glance, someone might think he's attending a wedding or a special event of sorts. You can call it that, but to Jotaro, nothing is further than the truth.
Today is Kakyoin Noriaki's funeral.

Tags
Summary
He was supposed to be the star, so why isn’t he shining like one? No, he is a star; a fading, dying star that will collapse in on itself and form a gaping black hole. A suffocating black hole where time does not start nor cease; an empty void that brings others to their knees as it eats away their will to continue forward, and he will be joining them. Brian Thomas is a plague, a virus—just like the faceless monster that stalks him and the ones he used to deem as friends.
------------------------
orBrian is dying, and all he can do is lie down in excruciating pain and drown himself in his delusions.

Summary
Stars aren’t meant to be touched, aren’t meant to be reached, lighting up the darkness of the night and guiding you through the shadows. But when Atsumu reaches up to cup his cheeks, propping himself on his elbows and tilting his head to the side, Kiyoomi can only think that the being standing tall over him can’t be described as anything other than a star, the brightest star there is. And when he dips down and their lips meet for the thousandth time tonight, Kiyoomi feels his whole body shivering because who knew kissing could be like this, altering landscapes, unpouring the rain, making volcanoes erupt and sending rivers up the mountains.
or: kiyoomi wants the world at atsumu’s fingertips.
