Summary
The Eridian thrills a high sound that doesn’t get picked up by the translator which means that it has no clear meaning. Like when a human gasps or sucks in a deep breath. It actually sounds a little like that. When they notice that I’m staring straight at them they scramble back into their hiding spot and hold very still.
A child, I realize with a start.
That’s a child!
“Hey,” I call and the kid squeaks again. I was about to get to my feet but abort the movement and crawl closer on my hands and knees until I'm inches away from the xenonite wall. I wait and it takes me much too long to realize that they don’t have to peek around the corner to see if I’m still there.
“Hey there,” I try again, my voice low and calm. It’s my teacher voice, the one I use for shy and scared students.
Used.
The fact that I haven’t had to use it for years and it still comes to me automatically almost knocks the air out of my lungs but this is not about me, it’s about making sure the little pebble doesn’t die of fright from the scary alien. “Hi, I’m Grace. It’s alright, you don’t have to be scared.”

Summary
Things start as they always do, on a normal day, on a normal planet. They save everyone, and in turn, Lance gets to drink a Truth potion he didn't ask for.
Keith looks too beautiful and his body hurts all the times, and there are so many things Lance wants to keep quiet.
The longer it lasts, the harder it gets. He can only hold on, and hope his friends will love him in spite of everything he never wanted to say (they will).

Summary
When Kim Dokja went under due to the probability storm after destroying the 'Absolute Throne', he had not expected to wake up in what seems to be a theater of sorts with no doors. He wakes up in a chair front and center, as close to the screen as possible. Kim Dokja knows exactly what this is and he does not like it. He doesn't like it one bit.
or
I'm absolutely using this as a way to both shove myself out of writers block and start getting into writing Orv.

Summary
“This is the most stupid thing you’ve ever done!” Hermione yells after Harry. Then she blinks. They’re no longer at Grimmauld Place and, sitting huddled together on a familiar four-poster bed with red hangings, are four teenaged boys, staring avidly at them. Well, this is just brilliant, she thinks. “And you didn’t even get the year right!”Or: the one in which Harry is done with the war and thinks it’s time he got something he wanted for a change. He misses his godfather, goddammit.
