Summary
"I have memory problems," he explains.
"Okay," she says, no judgment in her voice. "When did that start?"
When I started popping morphine pills like candy. "Middle school."
Dr. Sterman — no, Andie's — pen stops moving. "That's young."
Maybe it is. He wouldn't know. Bob has felt ancient his entire fucking life.
He shrugs.
AKA: Post-Thunderbolts*, Bob Reynolds finally sees a therapist outside of an emergency situation for the first time in his life. Between his memory issues and all of his records being incinerated, he has to retrace his medical history with the help of his psychiatrist, Andrea Sterman. There are a few mistakes along the way.
AKA: What if you put a superpowered bipolar guy onto an antidepressant and triggered a manic switch?

Summary
"Viktor thought he knew the comprehensive list of all his nonworking parts: the leg, of course, but also the childhood rickets, his lungs, his spine, the calcium deficiency that left his teeth stained slightly more yellow than topsiders’, whatever made him… bendier than the average person, and not always in a good way.
Evidently, topside is intent on adding more to that list.
It does not matter. When he is the only one in the lecture hall who can answer the professor’s question - a leading one that she said they will know by the end of the semester - as a self-taught trencher, he relaxes. He even smiles.
There is only the work."
AKA
Snapshots of Viktor's time at the Academy. There are quite a few necessary adjustments he must make.
AKA
The Academy-era Viktor fic I wanted to see in the world.

Summary
So, Viktor sleeps only three hours through no fault of his own. But if he had slept more, he would have arrived at the lab earlier. Or he would have seen the sliver of light underneath the door. Or he would have heard the footsteps inside.
Decidedly not human footsteps.
But because Viktor failed to sleep properly last night, he arrives at the lab later than usual, later than Jayce, and does not notice these things.
Hence his surprise when he opens the door to see Jayce playing with a dog.
OR
There is a dog in the lab. Viktor and Jayce have a conversation about keeping it. What they don't say to each other is probably more important.

Summary
It’s longer than it’s ever been, mostly evened out from the last crooked bowl cut she got from Before - the last one she’d ever get, which, hey, she can’t fuck those up anymore, one less thing, whoop dee doo - and it falls into her face ever time she hunches over something with her tools.
When her hair flops into her face again, she screams. She shoves everything off her bench and hunts viciously for a pair of scissors.
OR
The Jinx hair evolution/symbolism fic I wanted to see in the world.

Summary
"Eddie had a sip of beer for the first time at nine. The can was lukewarm, sitting by the overflowing ashtray in the living room. It was gross.
Rehab centers, Steve thinks, shouldn’t look so fucking depressing."
OR
In which Eddie went down a path he shouldn't have, and Steve crawls back up, against all odds.
OR
The sequel/prequel I've been incapable of shutting up about for months.

Summary
“I’m still kissing you, aren’t I?”
“Technically, I guess,” Vi grouses, still rolling her hips down into Caitlyn’s thigh.
“Technically?” Caitlyn repeats, voice higher than she’d meant it to be and Vi, the devil, laughs. Caitlyn is genuinely affronted, but she thinks she has a right to be, given the circumstances. She pulls back to glare at Vi, the effect ruined by the reflexive smile that breaks across her face at the sight of Vi flushed and grinning at her.
“I mean, I don’t know how you Topsiders learn to do it,” Vi says. “But where I’m from when you’re kissing, y’know, for real, like you mean it, there tends to be a lot less room for talk.”
Well, fine. If she wants it to be like that.
-
Caitlyn and Vi spend some time together in the morning.

Summary
People don't want to be broken into pieces for Gale, and so he pretends that he doesn't hunger for it.
For knowledge.
For the power that comes with true understanding.
For the intimacy of it.
He tries not to force his companions open like a book and devour them page by page; it would break their spine in the process.Astarion needs blood and protection.
Gale just ... needs.
They're both full of cracks.- Language:

Summary
He looked at the dusty wall besides him, licked his finger and wrote on it BOB in big blocky letters. He pointed at the name, then at himself.
The three approached with careful steps, their guards slightly down. The blonde woman was the first to reach him and the first to read the name on the wall. She looked him over, presumably scanning him for weapons, before she lowered her own and tucked it in her waistband.
She licked her own thumb, then wrote her name in a loopy cursive right under his. Yelena.
