Summary
Iruka passes the tiny bracelets out one by one, and smiles wryly as several of the girls squeal in delight, reaching for the jewelry eagerly. The boys, in reaction to the girl’s excitement, cross their arms and pout at having their ten-year-old manliness challenged in such a way, but Iruka had made certain to be as firm as possible while explaining the importance of today’s lesson earlier.
After all, chances are that it will save their lives someday.

Summary
It strikes him one morning as she’s wandering about their room just how disgustingly in love with her he is. Maker’s breath, she isn’t even doing anything important, just looking at her meager collection of garments and trying to remember if she has anyone to impress that day.
He’s laughing at something Sigrun has whispered to him conspiratorially when she is hit once again with his beauty. He’s still got smears of darkspawn blood on him, a nasty bruise is forming on one cheek, and he’s laughing, head thrown back as the gray dawn lights his face and she is reminded just how utterly in love with him she is.
They may have different ways of communicating it, but Alistair and Sigyn are still very much in love.

Summary
Yuuri breathed out small sighs as Victor worked through more tangles, his fists unclenching, muscles relaxing, sinking into the chair. Victor hummed a few notes from an old lullaby as he combed in the gel.
“I could let you do this forever,” Yuuri said, his eyes half closed, shoulders resting heavily against the chair.
“I wouldn’t mind,” Victor said as he finished the last stroke.
“Really?”
- Based partially on that one scene from the ending credits. Canon compliant fluff from Victor's pov, including much hugging, hair brushing, and dog snuggling.

“I’m in love with you,” Bakugou said, trying to emphasize his meaning. But Kirishima understood. He always did, whether or not Bakugou put it into words. It had taken time and practice and patience, but he liked to think that, at this point, he had gotten very good at understanding.
“I know,” he said, and he shuffled forward on his knees, leaning over the edge of the bed, resting his elbows on the blankets. He looked up at Bakugou. “Katsuk—”
“No, wait,” Bakugou cut across firmly, shaking his head. “Shut up.” He closed his eyes, catching himself. “I mean… stop.” He inhaled sharply through his nose. “Just… let me…"
Kirishima watched Bakugou as he struggled with the words, and he quickly understood. This was one of those moments.

Stede took his hand and kissed the scar on his knuckle. “Are you still dreaming, dear heart?” he asked. “Was it a good dream and more importantly,” he lowered his voice and leaned in even closer, “was I in it?”
Ed smiled. The lines of his face softening as the world came into focus, with Stede in its centre, calling him darling and dearest and my love, telling him he deserved fine things, kind things. Where Ed was from, every word had its meaning, its purpose, its dramatic effect. There weren’t words that were simply said for the sake of saying them, and even less were ones meant only for affection.

Summary
From the beginning, Jaskier always knew his love language was a bit… different. His friends would hug or say nice things about each other, his sisters would gift flowers, his father would pat his shoulder with an approving look. In books and stories, there were always grand gestures and fancy words, speeches and longing looks. Words like “I love you” and “I love you, too.”
But the first time Jaskier wants to convey just how much he loves someone, it doesn’t come out with those three easy words. Instead, as little Julian, he claps his hands together and sing-songs about how pretty his momma’s eyes are.
<>
Jaskier's love language is song-writing. It takes a while for anyone to understand.

Summary
“Are you alright?” Jaskier asks. He’s been dragged outside again during the middle of one of his sets. That’s fine. He was almost expecting it. Geralt has become a little bit predictable, and a bad mood usually means he’ll want a quick pick me up at some point.
“I will be in a moment,” Geralt growls, and he pushes Jaskier up against the wall.
And it's fine. Normal. New normal. Jaskier goes and he goes happily and willingly. But there’s something that is tugging on his mind, something that aches.
He doesn’t put his finger on it until afterwards. “You really will have to start being more patient. I do need to make a living – and you dragging me away in the middle of my songs all the time is bad for business.”
Geralt gives a chuckle, “you’re saving money on the whorehouses, are you not?”
And oh.
Geralt is using him for sex.
-///-
Or, Jaskier and Geralt start having regular sex. Jaskier thinks it doesn't mean as much to Geralt as it does to him. He's wrong.

“Oh,” Tommy says.
Wilbur laughs. “Sorry,” he says. “Just … it’s a good way to be able to communicate with you. No point in giving you gifts if what you really need is a hug.”
Tommy thinks about it. Wilbur’s arm is still around his shoulders. “Okay,” he says. “That makes sense.”
“Well, of course. I always make sense.”
Words of affirmation. “I mean, you do. Most of the time. You’re really smart. It’s weird.”
Wilbur’s eyes crinkle with a smile. “Aww, Tommy. Are you using my love language on me?”
Tommy flushes. “Wha— No! You bitch, I’m not—that’s not—”
“Tommy is bein’ sweet?” Techno pokes his head out of his door. “Where’s the flying pig?”

Summary
"Are you dying? Am I dying?" Merlin looks genuinely alarmed, eyes darting back and forth between the feast laid out on Arthur's dining table, to Arthur himself. Beside him, his fingers fidget, as though he's already trying to conjure up a spell to heal whatever ailment must surely have befallen Arthur to incline him towards such generosity. "Is Gwen dying? Morgana? Gaius? Lancelot or Gwaine or -?"
Arthur rolls his eyes. "No one is dying, Merlin," he says, before Merlin can hyperventilate his way through every person they have ever met. "I just thought I would do something nice for you, for a change."
"Oh." Merlin looks down at the table again. His brow creases. Then, prompting Arthur to once again wonder how on Earth he could have fallen so deeply in love with such an idiot, Merlin asks; "Why?"

Summary
“Great. Now that you two are awake, we can begin.”
They open their eyes to look at him, but he isn’t very concerned with the acidity pointed towards him. After all, he’s gotten used to Batman’s and the kid’s- well Robin’s- just doesn’t hit as hard when he’s used to the more personal anger of the previous one.
He should check on Nightwing as he’s calling himself these days.
Opening the letter that showed up on his pillowcase this morning, seriously what the fuck? How did someone break into his phone AND his place?
Maybe he’s getting old. Or complacent.
He starts reading off the letter, “Good evening. You don’t know me, but I know you.” Creepy. Nice. He ignores the confused looks from the two in front of him. “This isn’t from me, obviously,” he clarifies, which clears up the confusion even if not the anger.
Slade just shrugs. “I’ve hired Deathstroke, AKA Slade Wilson, to kidnap you without harm and take you to Warehouse 14 by the East Docks. He is being paid to read this letter to you, and then after he will leave, again, without any intentions of harm.” The kid looks at him dubiously, but Slade doesn’t have much of a response.
That is what he’s being paid for after all.

Summary
Having friends is a new experience for Bakugou. It's difficult and confusing to comprehend his feelings for the people who have quickly become his closest friends, much less express those feelings. But when he learns that there are different ways of showing that he cares, he's determined to make sure that they know just how much they mean to him.
He refuses to be the one just receiving affection. There’s no way he’ll ever let them doubt just how much he appreciates having them around. He’ll learn their love languages until he’s fucking fluent, until they’re choking and drowning in his love, unable to escape it.

Surprise laces through her, unfurling in her limbs and becoming shaking nerves. “Are you going to kick me out of the palace because I’m not a firebender?” she asks, intending for the comment to come out dripping in sarcasm. Instead, it sounds almost genuine, a worry she did not realize she had—
—and why does the idea of leaving here—
—leaving Zuko—
—make her feel more than a little afraid?—
—until she gave it the power of words.
He looks half horrified. “No, no. Agni, no,” he says, shaking his head. He waves a nervous hand through the air. “No, you’re welcome here—more than welcome—especially more than some people are.”

Life has a habit of throwing challenges at anyone. Some are almost mundane, like surviving finals or breaking your wrist in a bike crash. Others are much harder, like standing up to your father and making your own path. All of them, though, are easier to bear if you have someone who sticks with you through hell or highwater.
Or—five times Arthur shows in his own way that he's there when Merlin needs him, and one time Merlin does the same for him. A study in love languages.
