My 13 year old cousin came back from a date with her boyfriend and said, "I can't wait to grow up and spend sunday afternoons with him." At first, I wanted to laugh (after all they're just 13), but I remember being 13 and having the world in my hands. I remember getting excited to talk to someone about my dreams and wishes, and how happy these daydreams and fantasies made me. There's this innocence you can only have at 13 and the world rises and falls and crashes and burns every year... until you do not think about quiet sunday afternoons.
So I asked her about the date and heard her giggle about bubblegum flavored ice cream, and how much she loves this little life. I think she makes me love it too.

“our towers, they rose up and set with the sun / our sermons, they burnt us with fiery tongues / we wrought our wings of metal, surprised when we fell,” eastward of eden by amelia day
“The Valyrians learned one deplorable thing from the Ghiscari: slavery. The Ghiscari whom they conquered were the first to be thus enslaved, but not the last. The burning mountains of the Fourteen Flames were rich with ore, and the Valyrians hungered for it: copper and tin for the bronze of their weapons and monuments; later iron for the steel of their legendary blades; and always gold and silver to pay for it all.” a world of ice and fire, ancient history: valyria’s children
“The freed slaves parted before her. “Mother,” they called from a hundred throats, a thousand, ten thousand. “Mother,” they sang, their fingers brushing her legs as she flew by. “Mother, mother, mother!”” a storm of swords, daenerys iv

there is just no universe where catelyn likes jon i’m sorry. she knows about R+L=J? ned made traitors of her and her children, put jon’s safety above their’s and is now an even bigger threat to their lives. she hates him. Rhaegar wins and he’s prince jon? he’s still the product of the event that the entire country had to go to war for and probably got her father killed in the process. at the very least she resents him. maybe even hates him. modern au? he’s just the cousin with the teen mom that gets high with her son in the basement and sneaks arya razor blades or whatever. she hates him!

Firefighter Ghost
Danny learned what a true hero was when he was 5 years old and his parents almost burned down their house by accident (or on purpose, he wasn't quite sure). At that time the firefighters were just getting to know the Fentons, but the boy couldn't help but be amazed at all of their actions.
After that, firefighters were a fairly weekly and common sight in his house but Danny always considered them his own heroes (sometimes they even gave him edible food!) so when he manifested ice powers, he decided he wanted to be that kind of hero too.
The problem was that by the time he decided, he was no longer in Amity. He became a kind of "walking firefighter" in his head. To all the other heroes he was a strange individual who saved people by freezing them.
Flash was pretty sure he was a hero (or trying to be one), but Batman had second thoughts about him after saving someone from hypothermia, in Danny's defense he really couldn't control the temperature of his ice and those were very honest accidents. What mattered was that people were safe.

Do you ever think about how Scott was blue and calm and level-headed, and Pearl was red and volatile and hurting and unstable, and yet when Pearl hurt Scott it was with ice and it was slow and cold. A waiting game, just like him. And when Scott killed Pearl, he did it with a blast, an impulsive burst of fire and force delivered with an unsteady laugh. A blaze of glory, just like her. Do you ever think about that. Because I can't stop.

I was a gifted child. Until I wasn't. I was the golden girl. Until I couldn't burn anymore.
My parents expected me to build wings of gold and fly further than anyone could ever try. I don't blame them, having a child to raise is like sculpting a clay pot, you can shape it the way you like, paint it the colour you fancy. To raise a child is to play God. To raise a child is to be God.
But to be a child is to fall, to make mistakes, to fail. The thing about being too bright at an early age means you burn out by the time you're 16 and suddenly the world around you becomes more gray and terribly, terribly lonely. The fire is never warm enough, nothing is ever enough. And one day you find yourself begging to a godless sky, begging for a new spark.
I was a gifted child once. I was the golden girl. And one day, I burned out.
