It has come to my attention, that I have quite a few one shots. It's cluttering up my Story Manager window, which has become rather unacceptable with that symptom of my OCD. So, this will be a compilation of the one shots I have, and when I write more, I can put them here instead of burying my stories beneath my Teen Titans one shots. Since none of them have a terribly large amount of faves or reviews, it seems like a good option. Anyway, the next eight stories will be reposts, but the rest that will come after that will be new! Enjoy!

As they charged into her room to find the massive hole in the ceiling, Beast Boy's keen sense of smell captured everything. There was the vanilla and tea leaves scent of Raven that he had come to enjoy, the scent of what he would find out was the ingredients of a spell, and something else, something foreign, ancient and evil. And though he could smell that the bulk of that scent trailing out through the hole in the roof, something of it was still there. His eyes searched the room and pinpointed a white book and a paper rose that both lay on the floor. For the moments after Robin called for the Titans to battle, Beast Boy remained in the room with Raven. He took a step towards her.

"Raven, are you—"

"Please, just get out of my room."

What came next was a fuzzier memory. He had flown out of the room as a hawk and joined the other three to fight the dragon. He had made a note to see if he could morph into a copy of the winged reptile right before he was swept off the edge of the tower. At the point where it was clear that the Titans were losing, Raven saved the day and trapped the beast back in the book. Ever since then, she had been in her room and he could practically smell the sadness from where he was. Next thing he knew, he was knocking at her door.

"Raven? It's me. Look. I'm sorry."

A pause.

"For what? You're not the one who—"

"No. I'm sorry that...he broke your heart." Beast Boy held his breath, hoping she wouldn't somehow be offended by that one simple statement.

"I know it was all a lie. But he was the only person who ever made me feel like I wasn't...creepy. And don't try to tell me I'm not." He scratched the back of his head nervously.

"Okay. Fine. You're way creepy. But that doesn't mean you have to stay locked in your room. You think you're alone, Raven, but you're not," he finally replied. He knew exactly what it felt like to not fit in. Every girl he went after laughed at him for his appearance and on the Doom Patrol he had been nothing but an unexperienced, screw-up kid. Here, he felt like he was accepted; that was something he wanted everyone to feel, no matter who they were.

He waited for a few moments outside the door. He had no clue what it was he was waiting for, but the changeling stayed in his spot anyway. Suddenly, the door opened and his nose welcomed the scent of vanilla and tea leaves again. Closing the two steps between them, Raven surprisingly pulled him into an uncharacteristic hug.

At this, Beast Boy froze. Not only because of the sneak attack hug, but also because of the paper rose that greeted his vision through Raven's half open door and the evil scent that wafted from it. That was from that "Malchior" guy, wasn't it? Then why would she keep it? He pulled away from the hug to ask her.

"Uh—" WHAM. For some reason his nose was suddenly overwhelmed by something horrible and he was lying on the ground. As he sat up, groaning, the mass attached to his face was removed and he saw Cyborg down the hall saying something about "Stank Ball". In yet another whirlwind of events, something occurred with Raven taking on Cyborg in Stank Ball and destroying him completely. That was fun. He hadn't witnessed the whole thing though, she had chased the robotic teen around the corner and all he could hear were the shouts and screeches of Cyborg fading away as they got farther.

Now he lay on his bed, recalling everything that had transpired. Why would Raven keep the rose? What had she said? Something about him being the only one who didn't make her feel creepy? That was probably it. That was why he had kept the Doom Patrol mask for so long. If he covered his face, he could pretend he was normal, even if he was shifting into various, green animal forms at the same time. He had only taken it off after Raven told him it looked goofy. They had more in common than he had ever thought of before.

Beast Boy's thoughtful look turned into a grin. He knew what to do.

Raven was meditating in her room an hour after her death match with Cyborg when she was again interrupted by a knock on her door. She looked at the gray steel of the metal door for a moment and recalled what had happened last time someone knocked on her door, but this time no one spoke though the door. She reached out with her powers and just barely caught Beast Boy's quickly retreating aura. She frowned. Was that little gremlin doorbell ditching her?! On today of all days?! She walked quickly to the door and opened it, prepared to storm after the boy. But what she found was something she hadn't expected at all.

At her feet, was a plastic vase filled with paper roses of all colors. Upon further inspection, each was hand made with a green pipe cleaner as the stem and single strips of paper coiled around the end of each and stuck with messy hot glue. There were at least twenty of the flowers in many colors of construction paper. The bunch smelled vaguely of her tea leaves and upon further inspection she saw that some of the dried leaves had been shredded and scattered in the vase. She picked one out of the bunch; it was the only green flower and it was covered in massive hot glue blobs with stringy glue coming off of it in all directions. There was a green construction paper note attached to it, which she promptly tore off to read.

Just because you're the only one like you, doesn't mean you're not beautiful. ~BB

Holding the note in one hand and the vase in the other, Raven's face broke into the smallest of smiles and she looked down the hall, where she felt a strong sense of satisfaction from around the corner.

"Thank you Beast Boy."

"Don't mention it."


I recently was watching Spellbound online and that paper rose that Malchior gave Raven caught my eye. Just that spiraled into this. Hope you enjoyed, read and review please!
