Summary
I heard myself cry out- and I was gasping in great lungs-fulls of air until the pressure hiked and choked me off again. The spikes of pain became constant and white-hot, but succeeded in clearing enough of the brain fog that I could hear the alarm of-
Of my ship. It was the Mary’s alarm-
-and I realized just how screwed I was.

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.

The Fire Nation Royal Palace is empty.
After the comet,
the Phoenix King declared his sovereignty of the world,
took his military, and left.Firelord Azula defeated her traitorous brother, then banished all who'd sought her harm.
Which must have been everyone, because she was alone.
At least... until an employment ad is posted requesting a very specific type of employee.'For consideration, applicant must be a young, attractive, non-firebending woman with long black hair, golden eyes, and pale complexion. Looking specifically for combat experience, exceptional aim, and some sort of useful, domestic skill (negotiable). Bonus if you generally remain unimpressed, or hate, nearly everything.'

Summary
A series of one shots (possibly more) set in a dystopian Supernatural/Steampunk crossover universe where Dean and Sam work as the Winchester Bros, a mechanic and a scientist duo taking on the usual slog by day, and odd jobs of the supernatural in the Victorian underground by night.
A post-war torn world, rebuilt and restructured with airships in the sky, combustibles on the streets, and synthetic humans in every home, known as TickTock's to the commonfolk. Nothing but tools, all of them, until they aren't anymore.

Summary
Maybe Grace notices his hesitation, because he reaches up to cup his cheek with his hand. His blue eyes — not the buzzing, neon cyan of the advertising signboards scattered around the city, shimmering holographic illusions selling dreams to the damned, but the colour of what K imagines to be the gentle blue of a summer sky: the kind that people whisper used to be the norm, before they choked the air with smog and ash — are kind. His palm is so warm without the usual thin barrier of his medical latex gloves — K can't help the way he leans into his touch, like a sunflower turning its face towards the sun, a stray dog seeking comfort from the first kind hand that feeds it.
It's okay, K,
Grace says soothingly.I'm here. Don't be afraid; take as much from me as you need.
How do you teach a man who has only ever been taken from, how to take?
The answer: slowly. Fortunately, Grace is a dedicated teacher.

I could find him. I should find him. Stop him somewhere quiet and say…what? Hello?
Hello. I work at Eastwood. I saw you today, talking to Ethan. I need to tell you something.
Need to tell you something.
Need you.
I need you.
Please.
…That’s it, isn’t it? Was that not clear before?
The majority of what I’m thinking, what I’m now doing, had already crystallized inside me before I even left work today. There’s no murkiness or indecision about what this is: I’m following this man. Right now I don’t know where he is, and yet I’m trying to find out where he lives and go there. I need to go to him and…stay there. That’s what I want.

Summary
Colt is hiding something, Ryland is clueless, and Driver just wants that cookie so effing bad - or: a lot can happen during a three-day camping trip.
"The moment Ryland met Casey could have been a scene in a cheesy romantic movie. One of the good ones, where the leads fall in love at first sight and just know that they've found the One even if they're too scared to admit it to themselves at first. That's how Ryland likes to fantasize about it, at least. And then he imagines the happily ever after that follows once the protagonists get over their insecurities, and a part of him knows that if he gets to kiss Casey, if he gets to feel that soft smile against his lips even once, it would break him to ever let go."

Summary
When Rocky wakes up after Adrian, he's relieved they're both alive, but immediately knows that something is off with Grace. He's having trouble breathing, sleeping a lot, and spiking fevers. As much as Grace wants to blame it on lung irritation from the ammonia in Rocky's atmosphere, Rocky knows he's downplaying it, and it's not going to work.
However, before he can actually do anything about it, the ship's power goes out. Taumoeba have gotten into the fuel and eaten all the astrophage, leaving them with no choice but to steal from the beetles.
Which are on the outside of the ship.
Which means two EVAs and a lot of lab work for Grace, all while his condition declines from what's quickly turning into a serious health problem. All Rocky can do is make sure he has what he needs and try to take care of him as best he can from afar, hoping they can get to safety before Grace's health is too fragile to recover.
