Summary
“It sounds like the Marsupilami's overhearing love confessions,” Mlle. Suzanne suggested, thoughtfully. “Is he repeating conversations between a married couple? Mainly the wife’s side, I’d say…”
“Or,” Mlle. Jeanne sighed longingly, “a young lady’s musings about the man of her dreams, which she yearns for… oh, how romantic!”
“Er. Yes.” Spirou swallowed. “Maybe.”
Or: The Marsupilami has started parroting an unknown gentleman's romantic sentiments, which are clearly directed at another man. Recovering from injury and with nothing better to do, Spirou gets a little too invested in the mystery...

someone to hold you too close (someone to hurt you too deep) by WyvernQuill
Fandoms: Spirou et Fantasio
27 Jun 2024
Tags
Summary
Fantasio’s eyes flitted to him, and away again, and he asked “...and I didn’t do anything else, did I?”
Spirou swallowed. “What do you mean?”
“During the… the madness. Did I do anything else. Anything worse.”
“Worse than trying to kill me?” Spirou was evading. Stalling. He was being clumsy about it, too, but there was nothing to be done about that. “Like what?”
“I… I don’t know.” Fantasio looked pale in the moonlight, oddly frightened. “Anything.”
Spirou and Fantasio have survived the Valley of the Banned - but some experiences are easier to leave behind than others.

Summary
"Geordi had attended his own funeral today. Geordi being Geordi, he had been very kind in telling Data that he had done well in organising the whole event, particularly given that he had had to plan it at very short notice. It was more of a party than a typical funeral, which was apparently preferable to Geordi. Data found himself glad that he had not created an especially mournful event, given that Geordi would have had to witness, if only for a short time, those he cared for suffering in his absence. Though, to be truthful, the resurrection of both the people being mourned likely contributed to the good mood more than Data’s choice of decorations.
Eventually, Data, having determined that the party had died down enough that it would be acceptable for one of the recently undeceased and the organiser of the event to leave, had asked Geordi if he would accompany Data to his quarters."
Data had some things he wished he had said to Geordi before his death. Following Geordi's return Data doesn't want to waste a second chance.

Summary
"Enjoy, want, concern. Nothing Data was capable of experiencing, as Geordi had been told too many times to count. He still didn’t quite believe it. He had no idea if that meant he was perceiving something no one else did, or if he was anthropomorphizing his friend. Maybe he’d never have an idea." (set after s4e25)

Summary
"Stay," Was all he said, "Please," Data just nodded, sitting down once again. He drank some more.
"So you promised something you can't follow through on. That's okay, the Captain will understand. It happens," Geordi attempted to convince Data.
"It should not be the case. I am an android, I-"
"Still have the capacity to make mistakes. You can't be perfect all the time, no one can,"
Data just stared at him.
"You are," He said. Geordi stopped talking, heat rushing to his cheeks.
"I- what?" He asked, incredulous.
"Apologies," Data said, looking anywhere but Geordi. "I had not intended to voice that thought. Perhaps I do need a break, after all,"
Geordi smiled, and Data tilted his head.
"What is it?" He asked.
"Just good to have you back," Geordi replied._______________
Or, Data realises the only way he can clear his mind is through physical touch. And the only person he wants it from is more than willing to help.

Summary
“‘Why?’
Nines didn’t mean for the question to come off as so desperate. But something had latched itself to his voice—to him—and wouldn’t let go.
Reed didn’t answer for a long time, or at least what felt like a long time. All he did was watch Nines with those gray, gray eyes, not gray like the empty ocean of ones and zeroes that was Nines’s mind palace, but gray like the mediary between the stark whites and blacks of his jacket. Gray like everything Nines wasn’t allowed to be.”
A long broken detective aching for connection gets partnered with an android struggling to understand his place in the world. Despite all odds, they teach each other not just what it means to be alive, but what it means to live.
