Summary
“Idiot!” Crowley smacks his forehead with the heel of his hand in a gesture of frustration.
He spins on his heel and marches straight back into the bookshop, his fingers flexing at his sides as he looks around for his sunglasses. Grumbling under his breath, he spots them on the corner of Aziraphale’s desk and moves to snatch them up.
Aziraphale’s hand catches his wrist in a lightning-quick strike, holding him fast. Nervously, Crowley glances towards where Aziraphale is sitting and not even looking up from his book, just holding tightly onto Crowley’s wrist and reading. No, not reading, Crowley realises, he’s waiting.
“I don’t know what I did,” Crowley admits, relaxing his arm rather than fighting Aziraphale for control.
“Is that so?” Aziraphale says coolly.

Summary
Cody walks in to an apartment on Coruscant and finds the last thing he ever expected to, his dead brother holding a baby.
"He feels like he's in some kind of liminal space. Here in this apartment where his brother has a life with these people and the war can't touch them. There is no war in this place, with its baby pictures and rugs, there is only love.
He takes in the scene in front of him, still frozen in place and it's in that moment that Cody realises that he'd never stopped looking for his brother, not really [...]He's looked for his brother in every corner of the galaxy. A thousand places on a hundred planets. Wherever Cody goes, he is looking, still, just out the corner of his eye for a flash or a glance. But he never looked here. Here on 000 is the last place Cody might have ever looked for his brother and yet here he is.
[...]Ponds is here and he's alive and here isn't a prison; or a lab or a market or a cantina, here, is a home.Cody has finally found his brother in the last place he ever thought to look for him, here, in the heart of a family.
[...]The kid has Rex's hair. It's as damning as anything else. This child with its unknown face and his brothers hair and Cody's eyes."

Summary
Things were going well for Alaska. She had nearly everything she’d ever wanted out of life, which should have made her the happiest person on earth. But she didn’t feel that way—not entirely. At the end of the day, none of it left her feeling fully satisfied or whole, and that lingering emptiness turned into guilt, only for a new day to start the cycle all over again.
And Sharon? Her life was in turmoil. One day at a time, she was just trying to survive in this madhouse called life. By now, she had almost nothing left, except for her shattered feelings, twisted thoughts, and heavy absences. What more was there to lose?
The existence of that "almost" revealed their unfulfilled heart, and a heart that’s been incomplete for so many years has a way of pulling you straight back to the place—or person—you once ran from and tried, unsuccessfully, to break free from.
What might unfold if they both stepped over each other’s lines?
In other words, pure Shalaska! Simple as that. Buckle up; it’s going to be a long journey. I hope a reference or two brings a smile to your face. There will be time jumps, so hang in there and stick with me!

Summary
The sound was the voice of a young man, a voice Makoto did not recognize.
“Begone.”
Followed by what sounded like a massive cannon firing.Makoto pondered these sounds. Where did they come from, and why could he hear them? Did this voice just command so much power that the dead could hear him? Or was there more to it than that? Or had Makoto finally gone insane?
He didn’t have much time to think about it, because all of a sudden, a rush of sensations hit him like a flashbang. Music, a familiar song. The uncomfortably flat surface beneath him hurt his back slightly. And his eyes snapped open.

When Thwayne plucks Thomas Wayne from his crumbling universe as an act of revenge, three unexpected things happened. One: Kal had refused to let him go, he'd clung to his friend through time and space. Two: He was not in the universe of the Bruce he knew, this Bruce was young, barely a Bat, this Bruce was savable. Three: Alfred, full stop, because everything about Alfred in every universe is unexpected.
