Summary
Ava pushes aside the crew, who are all strangely huddled around something on the starboard side of the ship. She commands, “You will be in charge of handling our latest catch.”
“What the hell am I–”
Simon's words die in his throat as Ava finally makes a path for them. Laying upon the deck with four harpoons pointing at him is a siren.

Ch11
Gang, this fic goes stupid hard. The premise is basically "You know how Grace and Simon meet, Simon is shown proof that the stars aren't gone and all is well? Yeah so, what if nothing was well, actually? What if the first meeting went as bad as it could've been and now you live in a biodome with a guy and you both hate each other?"
And the smut is really good. You know the "name one plot relevant sex scene you couldn't just cut"? I'd argue every single one (of which there are many) is sooo important to the story and characterisation that at points i was in total awe while reading.
The narration is also very nice. Grace struggles with derealization/depersonalisation, especially in the beginning and his hazy kind of mindset reflects in the prose. Do you say it like that in english? I forget. You get what i mean. Narration fucks.
If you like messy, ugly and incredibly human relationships/conflict this fic is for you.
Chapter 11 Spoiler for my shit memory:
THEY MADE UP!! REJOICE! Getting more Simon pov sprinkled in and wow he is way more whipped than he lets on huh -

Summary
Ed had thought, after the whole Promised Day, homunculus, entire country harvested for alchemical batteries thing, the batshit quotient of his life would have settled down some. He really ought to have topped out the meter with that one. But no. The bullshit is just getting started.
“Are you fucking kidding me,” Ed demands. “The wizards?”

Really comedic. The way the author meshed magic and alchemy is a masterclass in taking the half-assed hp worldbuilding and doing something interesting with it.

Fox has seen many things seized during raids. Illegal weapons, Spice and other assorted of banned drugs, slaves, carnivorous beasts trained for the fighting rings, the list goes on.
Nothing prepared him for finding beskar among the crates of contraband and bad life choices.

Re-reading this and realised i never bookmarked it. What an oversight. How could i have let this happen? This masterpiece? No bookmark? Rest assured, i will not be reincarnated as a lotus flower 😔
That is to say, holy fuck, this fic is packing heat and you should read it. Deadass. Right now. I can see you. What is the holdup?

Summary
Tangerine probably hadn’t considered how reckless they’re being by diving back into work as close as Lemon had. It was the burning desire to prove that he was better than whatever happened at the Shinkansen, to bury that part of his life and not even spare it a second thought, but he can’t do that if he hasn’t moved on. He needs to know that he hadn’t rusted in his dormancy.
(or, Ladybug and Tangerine keep running into each other on the job.)

Good god, this was a joy! Something about the author's prose really hits the spot for me, i don't know why. The characterisation was on point too, really, my only complaint is that the work is orphaned so i can't kiss the author on the lips.
Here's a quote that i saved while reading:
“Do you—Have you ever heard of pairs in the business?”
“Like the twins?”
“No, like romantic pairs.”
“Icarus and the Sun.”
