Or, five times Ryland Grace desperately tried to cling to family (even when they all but threw him away), and one time family grabbed him and refused to let go.
_AKA, someone’s going to have to hold Rocky back from fighting the entirety of the human race for how sad they made Grace.
That someone will not be Adrian.
Adrian wants a gun, statement.

Summary
The ghost of her mother's voice echoed in the bathroom.
Don't worry, Becca! Melly is gonna give you a big smile while the doctors fix your hand. Her smile is the best medicine.
Mel didn’t smile now.
The blood would get all over her teeth.
She ran her hands back under the faucet and splashed water on her face.
She left the bathroom without looking back.
The door swung shut behind her, and the world continued on.
Mel King is excellent at her job.
She is less excellent at being seen.The hospital notices the first thing.
The rest slips through.Bookmarked by bookworm_gone_wild

Summary
Detective Brian O’Conner was an oddity among UC operatives.
And for a simple, but also complex reason:
The best UCs were rootless.
They had no ties, no responsibilities or connections outside of their work to bog them down or trouble their minds during an operation.
The best UCs could let everything else go and sink into their roles for however long was required to take down their targets.
Of course, this also had a side-effect of risking the best UCs to going “native” or sinking so far into their roles that they turn from excellent officers of the law into the most frustrating criminals to catch as they end up creating the bonds that they lack outside of the job with the same targets they’re supposed to be spying on and gathering evidence to lock away.
Brian O’Conner was an oddity in that not only was he one of the best UCs in the Los Angeles Police Department’s stable of officers, but he also had not only ties to life outside his work but potentially the strongest ones around:
Brian O’Conner was soulmarked.

Summary
“A beer please,” Obi-Wan said, his voice barely rising above the din. He placed the credits on the bar, his fingers shaking slightly as he did so./
The bartender looked down at him with a frown, his brows furrowing as he took in Obi-Wan's thin frame. “How old are you, kid?”
Obi-Wan shifted uneasily, suddenly aware of the attention he was drawing from the patrons around him. “It’s not for me,” he replied quickly, his voice steady despite the tremor in his fingers. “I’m just fetching it for my Master.”
Master is a bit of a loaded word in the wider galaxy.
