Summary
“Katsuki,” his mother said carefully. Her grip was tight but she wasn't shaking. “Katsuki I'm only going to ask you this once. Did you hurt that girl?”
It hurt to be asked, even if Katsuki knew his mother believed his innocence without question. Katsuki told everyone he didn't hurt her. The police said nothing. The girl said nothing. No one said anything, no one believed his confession it felt like. It hurt that no one did. It hurt he had to be asked.
“I didn't,” Katsuki whispered and his mother gave his hand a squeeze and nodded.
“I know.” She told him and pulled him into a tight hug. “I know you didn't.”
No one else seemed to though.

Summary
"Good. We will play host to a party at the lake and ingratiate ourselves with the neighborhood," Thranduil stated matter of factly, unmoved by how both of his children had begun to stare at him and his apparent second head.
"You… want to… socialize…?" Tauriel asked quietly.
"I do not want to, but I would like our lives here to be significantly easier."
"So… you're going to throw a party on one of the lake's busiest days," Legolas's frown deepened. "And invite everyone?"
"Everyone, and, in return for your kind donation of fireworks for the display, we will pretend this never happened," Thranduil nodded.

Summary
Leo waited. His leg was growing painfully numb under the ice. He wanted to rip the pack off and heave it across the room where it could shatter on the floor. Instead, he forced himself to stay quiet as he watched everyone disperse on their assignments, feeling his heartbeat inexplicably rise in his chest until he finally couldn’t stand it anymore.
“And me?” Leo looked to Splinter. “I know portaling is kinda off the table right now, but, you know, plans are still kinda my thing. Just give me a minute—an hour max—and I know I can come up with a place for us to stay...” Leo’s voice faded as Splinter placed a warm pink hand on top of his own, making it lay still.
“Do not worry, my baby blue.” He said, giving the back of his hand a pat, a soft smile reaching his furry face. “I know exactly where we will go.”
----------
Leo knew losing an arm would be a hard change. He just didn’t know exactly how many changes he'd have to deal with. Turns out that narrowly avoiding the Krang apocalypse doesn't mean everything goes back to normal.
