Rodney waited for John to return; it was inconceivable to him that John would not stroll through that Stargate one day.

Title: Hers
Fandom: Buffy
Character(s): Faith, Buffy
Rating: Gen
Notes: A moment in S07E21 End of Days
Summary: "I guess that means it's yours."

Faith accepted the weapon that Buffy handed her, but she hadn't been expecting the reaction she got. The scythe fit in her hand like it had been molded from her palm, and a power thrummed through it into her, like the most amazing, powerful, perfect high ever. But with that feeling came a touch of sadness, of regret, because she was always second best; it wasn't hers.

Title: The Weak
Fandom: World War Z
Character(s): WHO Doctor
Rating: Teen
Notes: Spoilers for ending!
Summary: She takes a moment to contemplate how ironic life has become.


They walked a fine - irony laced - tightrope every day, devising new ways to slowly kill a human without actually killing them. It was a paraphrase, but the weak were finally inheriting the earth. Or, at least, the few parts of it that weren't full of mindless zombies.

[Naruto | Uchiha Sasuke]

When Itachi dies, it's slow and painful and not the way it's supposed to end.

Sasuke holds his breath and clenches his fists in puddles of blood and waits for the world to settle again, for his clan to be avenged, for the relief to fill his lungs, for everything to be alright, for the ability to just go home again, for anything at all to just happen.

There is nothing, just an echoing silence.

[X-Men: Evolution | Shadowcat/Kitty Pryde, Scarlet Wtich/Wanda Maximoff]

"We made a good team, you know," Kitty calls after them.

Only Wanda looks back, towards Kitty with her omnipresent, overly optimistic smile holding the door to the Institute open: an always open invitation. Pietro grabs at her wrist, but Wanda shakes him off.

Sorry, forgot one.

[Bleach | Hinamori Momo]

The heart that beats in her chest is no longer her own--all that's left is engineered tissue. And the two scars that run her through completely. She wears them with pride and hopes that, wherever he is now, it makes his blood boil to know that, for all his strength and brilliance and power, he couldn’t even manage to knock down his tiny and delicate vice-captain.

Being Human US

"Hypnosis," recommends a friend, and Kat's a skeptic, but she goes so far as to look up a name. It's so odd--usually she can handle her alcohol; even in college, she never blacked out--but every time she tries to remember what happened after Josh and Nora left, it goes all fuzzy. She feels like she's missing something important.

Flashpoint

Spike sometimes thought about what might have happened if he hadn't been kidnapped by Natalie's ex. If the two of them had gone for coffee again, and talked over their issues and found a way to make it work. Then he remembers Sam's expression when Sam thought Spike was dating his sister, and decides that maybe the team will be better off if he looks elsewhere.

The Mentalist

Officially, Teresa didn't know anything, because if she did, she'd have to report it. Unofficially, she tolerated it because she hoped--deeply and desperately--that on the day they finally found Red John, Cho would somehow be able to keep Jane from throwing his life away. She knew that Jane knew she knew; she wondered if he suspected why she didn't tell.
