    Summary

    “Lots of nerdy dudes with intimacy issues keep fish tanks.”

    When Neuvillette learns how close Wriothesley came to being killed by the Primordial Sea, he finds his desire to care for the Melusines (diligently and from a safe emotional distance) has expanded to include the Duke of the Fortress of Meropide.

    It’s not that odd. Neuvillette can do his best to help this particular human thrive, just like he’s done with the Melusines. It will help him better understand humans in general, which will help him better understand his purpose.

    Surely he’s never going to have to think about it any more closely than that.

    Summary

    Back then, when he’d been shaken from sleep during his reflective punishment and told, ‘The Yiling Patriarch is dead!’ To be suddenly awake and alive in a world that no longer held Wei Wuxian— no pain had ever come close or ever will. Even screaming his throat raw, even plucking the strings of his guqin down to the bone, even holding a brand too close to the fire before burning its design into his own skin— nothing, nothing, nothing to the fracturing of his heart.

    And more than just loss, it had been regret.

    “Back then, back then,” Wei Wuxian echoes in a sigh, the sound of it cutting through the memory. “Be here with me instead, Lan Zhan.” It isn’t dismissive but instead kindly coaxing, a guiding path to the present they now share. Here is Wei Wuxian, bright eyes and curling corners of a smile and heart open wide. Here is Lan Wangji, gathering it all to him, holding it as close as he always wished he could with a selfishness learned in loneliness. Here are the both of them, falling to the bed in a knot of limbs that only gets more tangled when someone tries to pull them apart. Here are the both of them, laid bare both in body and in love. Each can see everything of the other now, not a shadow in sight.

    Summary

    Some days, Keith wakes up wondering if he's in the wrong reality after all, but he knows the truth of it is that things went bad long before Honerva ripped the universe to shreds and Allura wove it back together. Things were bad before they even left Earth on the Atlas.

    Summary

    Just before they are to head back to Earth after the fal-tor-pan, Spock detects that he has a bond with Jim. Still having gaps in his memory, he attempts to analyze the nature of the bond. Spock concludes that he and Jim are bondmates, and says as much in front of Starfleet brass. Jim is shocked, but goes along with it out of fear that Starfleet would declare Spock unfit for duty. After telling Spock the truth, they agree to continue letting Starfleet believe that their bond is romantic in nature, while both privately wish that it was.
