Summary
“Wei-xiong,” Nie Huaisang says with a faint smile, and opens a small door in the cage. The canary hops from his hand onto a twisting nearby branch and then flutters its wings to fly away.
Wei Wuxian notices, idly, that all the birds are quite small, small enough that the vast cage lets them flit as cheerfully from perch to perch as any wild thing. Nie Huaisang never could bear the idea of clipping his pets’ wings to keep them near.
In which two old friends play a game of truths.

Summary
This is all life is, Meng Yao knows: a moment, built on another moment, built on another moment. He will hoard these moments forever, gather them to himself like a possessive thief who knows he’s living on borrowed time.
or; four times Jin Guangyao sees Nie Huaisang for who he is, and one time he does not.

Summary
Sometimes Lan Qiren wondered why Nie Huaisang was so determined to hide his light under a stone. He would have long ago grown bored of playing weiqi against the foolish headshaker of legend or the vacant-eyed crybaby that perennially sobbed into his nephew’s sleeve, and yet they had been playing these games for years and years, all throughout the decade since Nie Huaisang had become Sect Leader.
He didn’t ask, though, and he didn’t point it out to anyone.
He’d find out the reason, one day.

Summary
When Claire said she was dropping out of college to pursue hunting full time, Dean said, “right,” and left the room.
Or, the cross-generation conversation about formal education, choosing your own path and figuring out what it looks like to find a family.
Or, in other words: "But what I do have is a GED and a give-'em-hell-attitude, and I'll figure it out." - Dean Winchester

Summary
Izuku is five years old the first time he's saved by heroes. He's an instant fan of the woman in pink with her cheerful smile and the man with his ice powers and fine-boned features, even if they both refuse to tell him their names.
For most of his life, Izuku has been the centre of villain attacks, but he has never been injured. Every time, he's saved by bright, unknown heroes—heroes who smile at Izuku, and ruffle his hair or ply him with hugs, and seem mesmerised by how small he is.
Heroes that the rest of the world doesn't believe exists.
(Time-travelling Class 1-A AU)
