Summary
“And I’m pretty sure I wasn’t imagining being scooped up in gently benevolent tentacles.”
The problem with Rodney McKay - one of the many, many problems with Rodney McKay, John amended to himself - was that he had this habit of saying the most absurd things, with the most unbalancing earnestness.
Far too much, in fact, of John’s mental bandwidth these days was taken up with staunchly pretending that he wasn’t always internally wobbling about, like a drunken wildebeest, in Rodney’s presence. There were too many emotions involved: exasperation, bafflement, anger, fondness, annoyance, a helpless endearment and many more, some of which were brand new and seemed to have spontaneously evolved for Rodney, specifically.
The very worst thing about living in this strenuously suppressed maelstrom was that he had a feeling he was getting addicted to it.

Summary
The real problem was that he knew something was wrong. He didn’t think it, or guess it, or have vague suspicions, he knew it for a certainty, an alarm in his head which clamored and bullied and refused to let itself be ignored. There was no logical reason why whoever had killed Gertrude should want to kill him as well, and yet he knew his life was in danger, that his job had a target firmly attached to it - draped casually over the capital A - and that someone close to him was not what they seemed to be.
He knew this just as well as he knew his own name, a thing solemnly repeated and recorded so many times, by now, that it sometimes felt like the only part of himself which hadn’t changed. Which he could be sure of.

Compliments, Competitions, Cuddles and Coffee by WonkyElk for Tazmy

Summary
The oddest thing about this revelation and their subsequent relationship, was how very little it changed things.
It wasn’t that Rodney felt any differently towards John, it was simply that he now had an actual label for his feelings (rather than filing under ‘miscellaneous (confusing)’). And it didn’t change their essential dynamic, with that mixture of profound comfort in each others’ company and the knowledge that they would do almost anything for each other - up to, and including, reaching into the wiring of reality and yanking it about - with a snarky verbal friction and an instinctive sense of competition.
The only major difference - apart from the sex - was that they had begun to get competitive over slightly different things.

Summary
Most people had the decency to die entirely and completely, leaving no ambiguities behind, only a tidily biodegradable corpse.
For a small percentage of the population, however, this simple act of basic courtesy was apparently too much to ask. Gerry’s body had followed through with its part of the bargain - having been ravaged by a severe, and inoperable, brain tumour, it could do no less - but his actual self (or spirit, or soul, or whatever the hell made him him) had stubbornly remained, heedless of the inconvenient fact that it no longer had a vessel to carry it.
Which meant that, instead of simply going peacefully to his rest, a prospect to which he had taken great pains to resign himself, after the diagnosis, he was almost immediately plunged into a legal battle.

Summary
I've recently been unexpectedly promoted to lead a department in my organisation, wrote the anonymous emailer.
As there was no one working here when I arrived, my manager, who is head of the organisation, had promised me the choice of my own assistants. However, without warning, he simply presented me with an additional assistant. This new assistant’s first act on his first day was to let a dog into the office. It took several hours to catch and clean up after this dog and it has only been downhill from there. I admit I'm not entirely sure what to do with this assistant now I'm stuck with him. I'm hoping you have some advice?
Kind regards,
New ManagerAbigail Bailey runs a successful management advice blog. One frequent contributor is from a workplace with some... issues.

Summary
"My, My head hurts," he replied dumbly, "And I had a… A really terrible nightmare."
And god, did the last few years feel like a nightmare. A horrible, never-ending nightmare that twisted into shapes Jon never thought possible and took more from him than he knew he had to take.
"Must have been some nightmare," Tim hummed.
"It was," Jon laughed humorlessly.----------------
After the conclusion of the Watcher's Crown, Jon finds himself waking up in a much younger version of his own body, one that's still working with Tim and Sasha in research. Jon refuses to let this opportunity pass him by, refuses to let this world fall to the same fate as his. He'll do it better this time. He'll save everyone, no matter the cost.

Summary
Martin couldn’t remember exactly when or why he’d joined the Knights of the Lonely. He supposed that was by design.
Knights of the Lonely weren’t meant to last long. They were built to take blows, and, if necessary, they were built to die. He supposed that suited him fine.
But upon an assignment to escort the Watcher’s betrothed to the Kingdom of Beholding, Martin began to realize that, perhaps, there was something he was missing. Perhaps it was in the shape of a person with bright, intelligent eyes and acerbic wit, with prickly edges and a gentle smile when he thought no one was looking.
There was only one problem. He wasn’t meant to let the Watcher’s betrothed reach the kingdom alive.
