Matacuervos, ch. 7 - A heavy thing Rated M, 1.6k words - cw: death, canon-typical violence, discussions of trauma, slavery, and child abuse After Rocio murders their target outside El milagro, Zevran and Hamal contend with the fallout, and with an entirely unexpected circumstance. Read update on AO3 - Read from ch. 1 - thank you @rowanthefierce for beta-reading this chapter!
Hamal sprinted down the stairs two steps at a time, leaping over the last of them. He rushed through the front door, out where the air was cold by Antivan standards, but balmy yet for him.
“Zevran!” he called out. Where had he gone?
Hamal nervously rearranged his grip on his bow, looking down the street towards the brothel—but before he could investigate, a soft, pained noise came from behind the cart, and caught his attention. He stepped carefully around the stunned horses, behind the carriage wheels.
“Nadia?”
“¡Maldito mago!”
She was on the ground, partway beneath the carriage, her arms and knees scraped from the fall. Nadia groaned as she lifted a shaking hand to the back of her head. Hamal knelt beside her and gently eased her up. He could see her scalp was sticky with blood, and a lump was already forming under the skin.
“You’re hurt,” he observed in his meager Antivan, scrambling for the correct words and wishing he had more time to piece the language together. He understood it more than he could speak it, and even that was difficult with Nadia’s rapid-fire and distinct dialect. “Not good! Your head!”
“I’ll be alright!” She waved him off. “Where is Zevran?”
“He… looks for the man. I don’t know.”
Again, Hamal’s gaze drifted in the direction of the brothel, eager for any sight of Zevran. He could not see much from this position, but he could hear a rhythmic sound, like something being struck repeatedly, like metal hitting wet stone. He didn’t have to say what was on both their minds: this wasn’t what they had planned.
“Thank you,” Nadia said softly, leaning against him. She took a shuddering breath. “We should search the carriage. Quick! El carruaje.” She repeated the words, seeing his confused look, and tapped the carriage a few times. “Carruaje.”
A new word to him, though he’d never get the damn r’s right. Hamal did as he was told. He pulled open the carriage door and looked inside. There was no translation for the soft and pitiable sound he made then, but the feeling was something Nadia understood.
“Oh… d’alen.”
He and Nadia looked in on a sleeping child. The little girl was slumped against the back seat of the carriage. She looked to be about eight years old. A sliver of blood trickled from her nose, and her small, pointed ears poked through a mess of dark curls. Besides her, a bag of supplies lay on the floor.
Nadia exclaimed something in frantic Antivan, but Hamal only understood, “Help me!”
“The spell,” Hamal murmured to himself, as he pulled the child carefully out of the carriage. “That bastard used his magic near her. But I think she’s only stunned. She’s breathing.” He looked at Nadia, though she couldn’t understand his Elvhen, so perhaps he was saying it for his own sake: “She’s alright.”
Nadia nodded, sniffling. She roughly wiped at her face, her bloodied hands smearing red diluted tears over her skin.
But it was more the shock than her injury which troubled her now. She hadn’t truly had any doubts about what Zevran and Hamal had told her, but it had all come on so quickly; just this morning she had been carrying on with business as usual. To be embroiled now in a plot against slavers in her very home was overwhelming.
Together, she and Hamal brought the child out of the carriage, and they wrapped her up in Hamal’s cloak.
The girl was safe now. She’d never go to where she was headed, or return to where she’d hailed from.
Outside El milagro, Rocio was hunched over on the ground, her cane now discarded at her side. She did not react as Nadia and Hamal joined them, but Zevran, through his pounding headache, hurried to meet them.
“You’re alright,” Zevran said, relieved. He would have embraced Hamal and kissed him, but he noticed the child in his arms and his breath caught in his throat. “Where did- was that child in the carriage?”
“Yes,” Hamal said. “She’s unconscious, but alive. Nadia is hurt.”
“I am fine,” Nadia said, hearing her name through the stream of Common exchanged between the two men. “The girl is what matters. Maker only knows, if we had not found her tonight…”
Zevran gave her a short nod, taking in the information. This was what their efforts had amounted to. They may have lost their informant. But a child was saved!
“Nadia, you both need a doctor,” Zevran said firmly.
“We need to handle things here first,” Nadia said, aiming a pointed look at the corpse. It was not her first time seeing a dead man, and yet, her stomach turned at the sight of his bashed-in face. She gestured with her hands out. “What’s happened? Who killed him?
Rocio looked up from her perch upon the blood-soaked stones. “I did,” she croaked out. “He deserved it.”
“It complicates things,” Nadia said with a grimace.
“What’s complicated about it? You say he stole that child!”
Nadia blinked at her. For a moment, she pretended she already knew the young woman; pretended she was a coworker or a neighbor she saw often. It was a skill that aided her, in her line of work. Compassion. Exercising it now, she saw pieces of the story in the painful angle of Rocio’s leg, and the fury in her wet eyes. Perhaps a reflection of herself, too, albeit one from decades ago.
“What’s your name?” she asked softly.
“Rocio Ciriani.”
“Rocio. Have you ever taken a man’s life before?”
“No.” The admission came out, low and hoarse. Rocio gazed up at Nadia, then looked at Zevran and Hamal in turn, lingering, finally, on the child. “I haven’t.”
“It’s a heavy thing. At this rate, the city guard will be called, if they aren’t already on their way,” Nadia said evenly. “But a murder at a brothel is nothing they haven’t seen before. It can be explained away. A drunk customer. A jealous lover. A rape.”
“Braska.” Zevran seethed quietly. “And what of the children he was going to buy tonight?”
He crouched over the man, staring into his face with a keen desperation, though the life was gone from him already. “Give me a name,” he urged quietly. “I know who you work with. But where do you meet them? How often? An address. A contact. Anything!”
For Zevran’s part, he was distressed. A few hours ago, his only goal had been to locate an informant, interrogate him, and kill him later; to dispose of the body in a river, or a charnel house. He’d have killed Gloria Amilcar, too, if it hadn’t been for Nadia’s involvement. He thought, also, of what he’d learned tonight about his father’s death. This had ballooned far out of proportion, and try as he did, he could not pinpoint where he’d gone wrong.
Hamal leaned in to speak to him.
“We need to go,” he said gently in the language that they shared, but which was neither of their native tongues. “The city guard won’t care about a shem selling elves to the Crows, but they will care about a dead shem with a Dalish arrow sticking out of him.”
Zevran wrenched the arrow from the man’s broken form. There was sense in his husband’s words, but his head was swimming.
“I’m not going to run,” he said, and he repeated himself in Antivan for Nadia and Rocio’s benefit. “No voy a huir.”
“I’m not asking you to,” Nadia said.
“I won’t run either,” Rocio forced out in her tear-soaked voice. “And I won’t lie to the guard. Everyone should know what has happened! What is the point if nobody knows? We have so much proof!”
“Proof or no, you will go to jail!” Nadia told her. “And still, there will be no guarantee that the guard will care, or do anything to help. What’s the point of that? I have worked this brothel for thirty years. This is how things are. A whore can be replaced.”
“The way things are must change. This is my life.” Rocio, unmoving, let out a hiss of air. “If it makes even a little bit of difference, I have to try.” There was a cold edge to her words.
“Brave girl,” Zevran murmured.
Then there was nothing more to say. There was no convincing a determined Antivan. This, he knew.
Nadia rolled her shoulders, feeling quite lightheaded. Her neck throbbed. She looked up at Zevran and Hamal, these men who had so disrupted El milagro ’s routine.
“To think, you returned without anyone asking you to, and in a single night made a mess of everything.”
Zevran’s eyes flitted to her, hurt. But she looked back at him with the strangest combination of pride and sorrow.
“Thank you,” she said, emphatically. “You came to help us, and you have. You made us aware of horrors that needed to be exposed. Leave Gloria to me; I will help Rocio turn her in. Leave Rocio to her fate, for she chose it. Now take that child with you. And go.”
Zevran rose to his feet. He exchanged a look with his husband before asking, “Where would you have us take her?”
And so the plan for the child was crafted in the mismatched pieces of Common, Antivan, and Elvhen they shared. Stitched together with a potent need for justice and a measure of patience.
In Hamal’s arms, the child slept dreamlessly. The spell had been strong enough to stun a horse and two grown adults, and it would take her time to recover her senses.

Bakugou had called all of them for an emergency meeting. Together. And Eijirou and the rest of the class are currently staring at him like they’ve entered some alternate universe where everything’s the same except Bakugou willingly called for an emergency meeting with the whole class of 3A.
Well, almost everyone.
That was also a surprise and another warning of the end times probably...
Because Izuku Midoriya wasn’t here as a result of Katsuki Bakugou’s stubborn pettiness even amidst a probable apocalypse prevented him from inviting his rival, no…
No, Midoriya wasn’t here because the meeting was about Izuku Midoriya.
Izuku Midoriya’s birthday, to be exact.
“What the..?” Eijirou said after a while, beginning to speak Bakugou’s language because everyone else was confused with a dash of fear into silence.
“What?” Bakugou drawled like they didn’t just enter the twilight zone. “Are you all deaf?”
 Or, A Secret Relationship fic, a birthday fic that's months late and a fic that might make you feel a little too much, all wrapped up in one and narrated by Red Riot himself.

Hank Anderson. Sorry – Lieutenant Anderson.

*
In which Tomura wants attention, and if that means he has to sit directly on Dabi's lap to get some, then so be it.
A Life of Bliss - 652, single chapter author: tobiosbae fandom: Haikyuu!! pairing: Iwaizumi Hajime/Kageyama Tobio

“Connor?”

Henry, your package has been delivered.
He’s been waiting weeks for this notification. Realistically, he knows it’s only been a week or so since he made this order, but he’s been waiting so impatiently for it to arrive and it seemed to take forever to get here.
He runs up the spiral staircase of their brownstone home, he knows Alex will be home any minute from class, but he just has to look at how it turned out. He sits on the chaise in the bedroom and tears the plastic sleeve and there it is: a bandana for his beagle, David. The material is super soft and is a combination of colors: red, white, and blue. The words on the bandana is in a classic cursive font. The words displayed on the piece of cloth make him feel giddy: Will you marry my daddy?
All the Stars Are Closer - 2.3k, single chapter author: Boxstorm fandom: The Witcher pairing: Geralt of Rivia/Jaskier
"Come with me to Oxenfurt," Jaskier had said, tucked up against Geralt's chest in the moments before their parting for the winter.
"I can't," Geralt had replied, tightening his arms where they wrapped around Jaskier's shoulders in silent apology.
"Just for a day or two," Jaskier had insisted, pulling back just enough to look Geralt in the eyes, and giving him that hopeful look that they both know Geralt is unable to deny, "Please."
The pass to Kaer Morhen would not remain open for much longer, but faced with Jaskier's bright blue eyes, pleading for something that Geralt could so easily give, he had relented.
Jaskier's smile as he'd been pulled in for a gentle, acquiescing kiss had been worth whatever he might find on a late return to Kaer Morhen this year.

“And where do you think you’re going?”
Iwaizumi turns around in time to see Kageyama whip around like a started colt, guilt flashing across his face. The expression is fleeting, quick to disappear into the determined crease between Kageyama’s eyebrows, the familiar downturn of his lips.
Iwaizumi tries not to smile.

Kaz, Nina, and Inej sat together on a couch in the corner of the Crow Club. It had been the better part of a decade since the Ice Court Heist, (or the Heist Court, as Nina had named it,) and the three of them had found happiness with each other for most of that time. It was a lovely and all too rare occasion when both Nina and Inej were in Ketterdam for them all to be together, so they were enjoying watching what was a relatively slow night at the Club.

Swept the area under the net. Glanced up again and finally gave in. “Tetsurō?” Hinata said, purposefully using his given name. Within seconds, Kuroo was on him and peppering kisses across his face, making him squirm and let out a high pitched laugh.

Dirty Hit - 6.7k, single chapter author: venvephe fandom: Detroit: Become Human pairing: Hank Anderson/Connor
Four minutes left in the second period, Connor goes down to a bad hit. Head-collision-against-the-boards down. Not-getting-off-the-ice down. Blue-blood-pouring-out-his-nose down.
It’s when he’s shakily on his own skates, each arm slung over his teammates’ shoulders, that he thinks to look up and see the source of all the sudden noise. Something twists in his gut, something that has absolutely nothing to do with the injuries from that nasty hit.
It’s Hank. Of course it’s Hank.

Hearing the familiar sound of their apartment door opening and Deku’s soft voice calling out “I’m home” immediately drags out a sigh of relief from Katsuki.
“Welcome home, nerd,” Katsuki says, deliberately clearing his throat when he realizes his voice comes out too softly.
(or quirkless katsuki pampers his pro hero boyfriend, deku)
Expense Report - 1.6k, single chapter author: Masu_Trout fandom: Detroit: Become Human pairing: Hank Anderson/Connor
Fowler had a vaguely shell-shocked sort of look on his face. Hank knew it well; it was the same look he occasionally wore while staring in the mirror, on mornings when he couldn't stop thinking about just how goddamn weird his life had become these past few months.

Summer, summer - 4.1k, single chapter author: Xachyn fandom: Haikyuu!! pairing: Hinata Shouyou/Kageyama Tobio
Five minutes later, they shared a bag of candy between them as they walked. The bag was nestled in the basket of Hinata’s bicycle, and the sweets were every bit as lovely as they imagined it to be. Kageyama wondered if Hinata walked past the sweet shop with such pining in his eyes everyday, and was distracted by the way Hinata sucked on his fingers to get the sugar dust out.

The Art of Subtlety - 3.6k, single chapter author: aresmisia_HQ fandom: Haikyuu!! pairing: Hinata Shouyou/Kageyama Tobio
It's not too bad, and Shouyou admits, there's a different kind of thrill being involved in a secret relationship. It's in the little, knowing smiles they give each other; Kageyama's lingering touches when he ruffles Shouyou's hair, fingers lightly tracing his ear when he retracts his hand; the constant roughhousing and bickering done mostly as an excuse to touch without raising suspicion; sleeping against each on bus rides, their hands linked and hidden out of sight under their jackets and bags. Once or twice, they get away with stealing small kisses when they're absolutely sure everyone is asleep.
Maybe they're not doing so well with the no touching or kissing rule but holding back has never been in their forte in the first place.
Keeping his romantic relationship with his supposed rival a secret has been a great struggle for Hinata, but Kageyama is there to help him through it. Or make it even more difficult.
The Bed (Where We Rest) - 3.1k, single chapter author: Brookelocks fandom: Naruto pairing: Haruno Sakura/Uchiha Sasuke/Uzumaki Naruto
The center of their bed is definitely the softest spot, it has the most give and seems to mold itself to your body. But that isn't what makes it his favorite spot, no, the best thing about being placed between Sakura and Naruto is the physical contact. The way that Naruto's chest is plastered to his back, the blondes nose pressed gently into Sasuke's neck, strong arms wound around his waist. The way that Sakura traces soft patterns across Sasuke's chest as she falls asleep, how her legs tangle with his beneath the covers, when she nuzzles into his shoulder while muttering softly, how her hair tickles his nose and he can faintly smell the floral shampoo that is just so Sakura. How he can feel Naruto's heart beating against his back, how he becomes aware of every breath Sakura takes as she exhales into his skin.
Just a bunch of little snippets about bed sharing.
