Summary
**Heavy spoilers for the Earth Girl series**
The year is 2890. All Natalyn Solaris has ever wanted was to prove that she is just as good as anyone else. Unfortunately, that gets a lot harder when she happens to be the only blind girl in the universe. Blinded in her infancy thanks to a risky Procedure, Natalyn is used to being babied – and she has no intention of letting that continue for the rest of her life. Now she has an opportunity for escape: a Military call to arms to fight the dreaded aliens, the shape-changing chimera. Natalyn knows she has the skills to succeed – now she just needs to prove it to the universe. Along the way, she’ll make allies, enemies – and she might just save humanity.

Summary
“Why do you have a pillow in your backseat, Peter? Is work really that boring?”
“Ha ha,” Peter said sarcastically. “No, it’s an old one from home. Elizabeth told me to get rid of it yesterday, but I forgot, so I’m swinging by the dump on the way home. Of course,” Peter added, smirking at Neal. “This case is so easy, I could do it in my sleep, no problem.”
“Is that so?” Neal teased back. “Well, we can’t let you have all the fun.” And with that, he promptly laid down, setting the pillow on Peter’s lap and resting his head atop it.
***
Or, Neal and Peter have some shenanigans on their way to arrest a perp. Some jokes, some cute moments. That’s it, that’s the fic.

Summary
The whirring and clicking was definitely louder now, and he could swear it was speeding up. The damned thing was like a machine gun being fired right next to his ears, and Matt’s hands clamped down on them again.
Matt had lost all sense of anything else. All that existed in the world was that machine and his eardrums, the two locked in a never-ending battle.
***
Or, the fax machine in the office of Nelson & Murdock malfunctions and the noises it's making are slowly driving Matt insane. It's a good thing Foggy's there to help.

Summary
I lived with this hunger long before the Hail Mary. This is nothing new. I’m fine.
Right up until Rocky asks another question.
“When last time you touch other human person skin, question?”
Oh. Oh no. “When I… a few days after I first woke up here.”
Rocky starts to relax for a split second, but then tightens when something occurs to him.
“Grace crewmates dead when you wake up. You said this, statement. You not even know your own name, remember nothing, see dead bodies, confirm?”
I nod, because if I open my mouth I will gag.
“When last time Grace touch ALIVE human person, question.”
I swallow thickly. I don’t answer aloud because I know Rocky can hear the hitch in my breath. My stomach churns with fresh bile. He senses my vital signs tick over into stress patterns and goes very, very still again.
“Grace. When last time, question.”
I clench my jaw so hard my temples ache, and beg him with my eyes to just stop.
“Grace. Please say not when… when Evil Stratt humans put you to sleep.”
I can taste grass.

Summary
Clive has lost his brother too many times.
Once, to his own hands – even if it wasn't true in the end, the belief that he had had nearly ruined him.
The second time, he was left with a feather in his fingers and a silent promise he clung to as his lifeline through the subsequent storm.
So, with Joshua passed out in the infirmary, forgive Clive for being a little jittery. He'll do his duties, of course, but he's running at half-power, at best, waiting for someone to tell him...
