Something We're Missing by PansyFennelRue (pansythoughts)

Summary
No one told Laios just how lonely it would be to be the king.
He didn’t think of it at the time, when Yaad had suggested the arrangement. There had been a lot going on, a lot to sort out. Sisters to save, monsters to stop, worlds to keep from ending, countries rising from the sea. He hadn’t had room to breathe with all that needed to be done, much less time to consider what the future would actually look like.
(Maybe Laios has never been that good at thinking ahead. Or thinking through the consequences of his actions.)
But sisters became safe and mostly whole. Monsters became meat, or else disappeared, or else ran from him, now. Worlds did not end, which was good, and countries became stable, which in the long term was almost the same thing. Time moved forward, and he kept living.
Which meant he got to see exactly how lonely it could be, when the mundane day to day finally caught up with him.
Laios deals with being the one left behind. It's easier, though, with Kabru by his side.

anatomy, and how it falls apart by chromaryllis

Summary
“I told you I didn’t want to hurt you. Did you want to hurt me?” his tone was open, not a trace of accusation.
Kabru swallowed the knee-jerk lie that formed in his throat. It burned on the way down.
“A little,” he confessed, and it felt like falling.
(Kabru is paranoid Laios views him as a monster, and has a very complicated way of confronting it.)

Summary
"You judge a book by its cover."
"I judge a person by their actions."
"And despite the Balladeer's actions, you still took him under your wing."
For a brief moment, the little archon's eyes widened at the name. Right, Prime was supposed to pretend not to remember. He smiles. Oh well, it doesn't matter because she remembers him too and they can both share a secret.
____
Or, Dottore and Nahida has a surprisingly civil conversation.
