Summary
Anger’s followed Johnny like a carrion bird from the moment he could walk.
He used to look over his shoulder as a toddler struggling to keep up with his sisters, chasing after them with enraged squeals and chubby fists clenched after they stole his crayon with light-hearted giggles. He still doesn’t know why he felt the need to stop that first time, why he had to look back at the footsteps he wore in the carpet, new and still soft enough to deform under his slight weight. It was like there was some other presence in his head urging him back, urging him to look. There wasn’t anything there beyond his faint tracks.
Until the shadows leached out of the fibres, filling the depressions like an oil spill. Like they were waiting for him to dent the earth just so they could flood it, leaving no light behind.

Summary
They call them lows.
He guesses it’s supposed to be polite, less clinical. It doesn’t carry the same bite as “episode”; doesn’t sound so recursive. So inevitable. It’s not a state he necessarily has to find himself in again. It’s just a rough patch. A temporary setback.
Ghost’s been in a low for so long, he doesn’t remember what it’s like to feel alive.

Summary
Ghost isn’t so far gone to put his face on the toilet seat, but at this point, he can admit he’s cuttin’ it fuckin’ close.
He spits out another mouthful of bile-yellow gunk, his ragged breaths filling the crawl space the military calls a bathroom, and collapses bodily against the wall. He slings his arms over his knees, still stinging from the harsh landing on the floor, and lets his mouth hang loose; breath smelling rank even to himself. He sighs and digs his head back into the cold tiles.
It’s getting worse.

Summary
(This is chapter five of You Will Not Be More Than A Rat in the Gutter restored with its original cut beginning and ending!)
Shouta tilted his head back, eyes falling shut, and let himself enjoy the breeze. It was always so much stronger this high up, trying to tease his feet out from under him with every step, his hair whipping around him as if he’d activated his quirk. A single misstep and he’d be lost to free fall…
He let out a low sigh, watching the smoke catch and drift away on the wind to waft up towards the light-polluted sky. It might be the only part of living in the city he actually liked; being able to fly across buildings, far above anyone else.
Alone in a city of many, hidden from a world that had forgotten to look up.

Summary
Soap does his research whenever he encounters something strange. By his best guess, with what little he knows of Simon's bloody and fraught history, and from observing Ghost, he thinks he's dealing with a doppelgänger. A manifestation of something darker, a little more alien, forged when on the very edge of death, half a soul lost to the afterlife while the rest remained to power its human body, doggedly forcing itself to survive.
Depending on the culture, doppelgängers are either a ghostly mimic, or a manifestation of a spiritual twin - able to share memories and feelings, but often bringing bad luck or representing the 'evil' side of the person it haunts. In some cultures, this spirit is not malicious, but more often than not they are frightening, and cause distress to the victim of their mimicry as well as those around them.
Personally, he doesn't think Ghost is inherently malicious. He doesn't go out of his way to cause Simon trouble, or behave in any way that feels out of character for Simon aside from his Otherness, which isn't something he can help. Animals sense oncoming rain, liminal spaces cause an instinctive crawl of fear beneath the bones, and Ghost unsettles people. That's just the facts of life.

Summary
When John Price's… partner went MIA, presumed KIA (hoped KIA) on a mission to take down the Zaragoza cartel in Mexico, Price had eventually been forced to come to terms with the fact that he was never going to see him again. He'd done the work to accept that, to stop letting it consume him, to start living his life again, without the man he'd been sure he'd spend the rest of his life with.
A decade later, while he's on a new mission to take down Zaragoza, Price is faced with a ghost from his past, a zombie maybe would be a better description; Simon certainly hauls himself out of the grave like one. Simon doesn't remember him, Simon doesn't even seem to remember English anymore, let alone who Price is to him…
…was to him.
And so starts Price's new mission, the only one that will ever matter again: to get Simon back from Roba's brainwashing, to convince him he's a person, to convince him he's safe, to help him live again when his brain has been turned inside out.
To help him remember.
He has to remember.
All those memories can't just- they can't just be gone.
Right?

Summary
Clint Barton doesn't have a lot of time to prepare the IMF for S.H.I.E.L.D. going up in flames, even if he does have a modicum of sway as William Brandt. Still, he figures he can probably get a solid benefits package out of the deal if he survives his life coming down around his ears again.
