When Owen finds out, Tosh is shocked that he not only cares, but seems to be convinced this is a solvable problem. -

Summary
Cate has been feeling off and very, very tired. Thankfully, she's friends with two very good doctors who will make sure she gets the care and rest she needs.
“Oh, Caitlyn, I’m so glad you’ve come to me with this.”
She looks up at Elias with watery, disbelieving eyes. “…Really?”
“Of course. It sounds as though you’re experiencing burnout.”
“You think so? I’m not just, I dunno, being a wimp?”- Language:

Summary
Elias lays a hand on Cate's shoulder, rubbing circles with his thumb. “You’re not alone anymore, alright? You’ve got me, and Julian, and we’re here to help. Whatever you need.”
“I know. I know, it’s just… my anxiety is screaming at me that you’ll both be angry with me for keeping this from you. That’s why I wanted to talk to you – I can’t even imagine you angry.”Cate has a chronic medical problem she's been trying not to talk about for a long time. When she finally gets desperate enough to ask for help, she needs Dr. Martins' particularly gentle bedside manner.

Summary
Two years ago, my grandfather died of lung cancer. This is the vent fic I wrote during and after that, giving my trauma to fictional people for processing reasons.
Liz doesn’t even realize she’s frozen in the hallway until Dick comes up to her and asks if she wants a hug. She nods, tears prickling at the edges of her vision, and Dick obliges. He gives the best hugs, warm and solid and soft. She intends to let go whenever he does, to make this last as long as possible. But Dick doesn’t let go. She starts to feel a bit awkward but the comfort still outweighs that for a while longer. When she finally pulls away, she’s expecting the dreaded question: are you okay?
But Dick doesn’t ask it. All he says is, “Alfred says dinner will be ready in half an hour."

Summary
Hal stood at the edge of the room, running one hand through his sleep-mussed hair, in his old USAF sweats and one sock and the ring on his hand, always the ring, and he looked at Batman with a baleful glare.
Then, he flicked the kitchen light on.
“Tell me you at least brought coffee,” Hal said, his throat dry and scratched with sleep.

Summary
A broken, disillusioned Steve Rogers is afflicted by a delusion that the mysterious assassin who nearly killed him is actually his best friend, who died 70 years ago. SHIELD wants to lock him up and return him to being a perfect, sparkling nationalist symbol as quickly as possible. Sam Wilson, who has wrestled with his own disillusionment and his own ghosts, knows that Steve needs compassion and the support of a true friend, not a forced regime of recovery that takes away what is left of his shattered autonomy.
Meanwhile, as Natasha tries to track down the Winter Soldier, her discoveries get more and more disturbing. She uncovers footage of the Soldier being subjected to, and forced to commit, horrific acts to maintain Hydra's cruel hierarchy. What's more, his resemblance to Steve's dead friend is too close to be coincidence. Sam and Natasha grow determined to stop the Soldier from being recaptured by his abusers, but how will Steve react when he learns the true extent of the Soldier's torture, and the true horror of what he was twisted into?
Is the Winter Soldier Bucky Barnes? Or is he a thing wearing Bucky Barnes's face?
Which of those things is worse?

Summary
"I just want to go home and sleep it off. I'm okay. Really." Her jeans are stained with blood, and she's starting to regret turning down Walsh's offer of body armor. Her halter top had done little to protect her arms from the demon's claws.
"This is standard procedure when one of our operatives sustains an injury," Walsh says.
"I'm not one of your operatives. I'm the Slayer."
"You're bleeding. Let me see it," Walsh says, stepping closer.
The I in Team, but with more medwhump and less betrayal.
