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
Rocky’s impatient, translated sigh was loud. His echolocation could tell where I was and how long it was taking my part of the installation. He was also moving all over the place, which wasn’t unusual, but at the moment, it felt like too much.
My lips thinned and I yanked my arm harder than was necessary. “Ow. Yes, okay! I’m getting there, just…oh, no-“
Seriously? I looked away for two seconds and somehow, my traitorous wrist had actually begun rotating it back the other way.
“I was almost…oh c’mon! No, Rocky- do not ask, just -just hold your darn horses!”
‘Rocky hold what?’
Ah…shoots and ladders. Me and my dumb dumb mouth.

Ryland Grace has his own reasons for not wanting to go to Tau Ceti, but they're not reasons he could tell Stratt. They're not even reasons he can really admit to, himself. But hey, can't a guy choose to die on Earth after he nearly made a colossally stupid decide years ago?

Summary
Tucked and hidden away in the bottom of the personal storage container is a simple manila envelope with Grace's name on it. He certainly didn’t put this here, but he has a good guess of who probably did.
It’s just another reminder of home and all the mixed feelings that go with it; just another thing he’s not exactly sure how to handle right now.
Thankfully, he doesn’t have to do it alone.

Distantly, Grace recognizes what he's experiencing is either impossible or has already happened -- but it doesn't make the nightmare any easier to process. The science behind dreaming and nightmares is easy to explain to an Eridian. The emotional turmoil that comes with it is...not so much.

The radio blares to life when the car first starts, a too-cheerful song playing too loud, before Kurebayashi fumbles it off. After that she doesn't try to turn it back on, or start a conversation. All they have to accompany them is the motion of the car bumping along the road, the flash of streetlights throwing shadows across their faces - and Hikaru, who wants to shrivel up and die.

Summary
"The blood of your father may demand violence from you, but your mother raised you with nothing but love and that is who you are meant to be.”
Something flickered in Percy’s gaze, like she had lost him in that last line.
(She had forgotten — there had been another influence raising Percy.)
A little panicked, she added as sincere as she could. “I love you, Percy. You do know that, right?”
His gaze softened again. He kissed her. He didn’t answer.
She should have put it together. That should have been it. She had all the puzzle pieces.
But she thought she knew everything about Percy Jackson.

Summary
Not Percy tilted his head. “And if you could?”
“Could what?” Annabeth’s voice was soft and wary, her edge thrown off by the way those sea green eyes stared impassively at her. “Change who I am-who we are? Make us mortal?” Annabeth paused, but only for half a second. She wished she had paused longer. Later she’d wish she hadn’t spoken at all. “Of course. I’d give anything for a normal mortal life with you, Percy.”
“So you’d chose a safe mortal life, with Percy, over your demigod life.”
Annabeth tried not to flinch at Percy’s third person name useage. “If I had Percy with me. Yes. Yes I’d give anything to just be able to live a mortal life.”
Percy smiled, but it wasn’t any of the smiles she knew. “The choice is yours, Annabeth.”
And then everything went black.
---
Being a demigod is hard. Being a demigod hero of prophecy and dating the son of Poseidon is even harder. When the dream asked if she would take a mortal life with Percy, she didn't exactly think it was real. But now she's in it and maybe it's not so bad, especially when mortal Percy and her start really bonding. There can't be too much different about this world for them... right?Bookmarked by lio_org

“I’ve been dreaming about the war.”
Izuku was silent for a moment. He thought he’d fallen asleep for real this time, until he shifted over onto his side and looked at Katsuki with weary, green eyes, full of empathy.
“Me too.”
Katsuki inhaled sharply, as if the vulnerability had physically pained him. “I dream about dying.”Katsuki can't sleep after the war. Worse, when he does sleep, he has nightmares. One night, Katsuki experiences an episode of sleep paralysis. Izuku is there to comfort him, and they find their problems are more similar than they thought.

He couldn’t survive this. Not unless there's something major he isn’t telling her.
And then she remembers there is.

Valerie and Danny are kidnapped by the GIW due to their anomalous ectoplasmic radiation readings. In the lab, they're put trough testing to determine whether or not they still count as human.

Summary
⚠️ Please read tags carefully! I want to be as transparent and responsible as possible about what this work is. Reader discretion is advised!
📚 What do I get to be, if I was never allowed to start from me?
Ranma wants to be rid of the curse. That’s all.
But the more he fights to reclaim his body, the more it slips away—from him, from what he thought he was, from the person Akane thought she knew.And Akane—fierce, hurting, loyal to a fault—wants something too.
To understand him. To reach him. To be chosen by him, without becoming someone else in the process.A slow-burning story about shame, identity, and the uneasy intimacy of growing up in a body that doesn’t always feel like yours.
Genre: Please see tags
This is a grounded take on Ranma’s masculinity—one shaped by martial arts, parental expectation, and a curse that is no longer comic, but invasive. The transformations progress like a metastasizing condition, integrating into the nervous system with irreversible consequences.
Metamorphosis explores what happens when the curse stops being funny—and starts feeling real.

It’s different. “Connor”.
Bland.
Hank thought it had a stick up its ass before, but this is something else. Every morning it’ll greet him in that annoying synthetic lilt, all placid smiles and canned platitudes. It’s banned from the field, too, just so that Hank never gets a break from its scrawny silhouette in his periphery. Haunting the precinct like a plastic specter. Gone are the little smiles, the attitude he thought he’d caught glimpses of. No more weird-ass small talk. Figures it’d drop the human act now that the gig is up.
Still, it creeps him out. The way it’ll look at him sometimes — wide brown eyes with nobody in the driver’s seat. He’s pretty sure it used to blink.
(The android revolution falls to a bullet. Hank returns to work to a familiar face.)

“Skip to the point, Jim. The sooner you spit it out, the sooner I can refuse and get back to work.”
“It’s really no big deal,” Jim says as the door slides closed behind them. “I just need you to come down to Hearth with us…as my husband.”
The Enterprise has been sent to negotiate reaccession to the Federation with an isolationist religious group known as the Kindred. While there, Jim notices that some of the children seem to be gravely ill. The problem is, the Kindred practice faith healing and refuse to allow a doctor to be brought in. So Jim does what he does best: he improvises.
