Summary

“Allllllright, Rocky! I think I found one you’ll like. G-guh-guessss what?”

“Chicken butt,” Rocky replies hesitantly, with more than a tinge of exasperation in his tone. Hah! Just as I’ve trained him! I cackle, and almost forget what I was planning to say.

“I f–f-found a movie for us to watch!” The ‘F’ sound has my teeth grinding uncomfortably against my lips. I wrestle with it for a second, and then force myself through it. I take a quick pause between my sentences in an attempt to calm myself and my stutter, but I know it’s not going to do anything. “It’s about a little girl, and an alien. We humans have a lot of different ideas and depictions of what aliens are like. Th–th–this one’s unique, but it’s still nothing like you. To be honest, I can’t say I’ve seen anyone guess that the first aliens would be… giant rock spiders.”

“Rocky scary space monster,” he sings, proud.

“Y-yes, yes. Grace leaky space monster,” I recite. That’s our little duo, ain’t it?

OR

Ryland Grace has a stutter.

Summary

“Hmm, human memory no good.” Rocky oh-so-helpfully reminds me, pointing his texturizer at the screen. Not that there’s anything there for him to sense. I still haven’t typed anything. Hmm…

“I know. Just… give me a second.”

orange pride flag, I search. It loads for a moment before….

No. I recognize that one. That’s the lesbian flag. I’m… pretty sure I wasn’t a lesbian, unless I’m missing a very important bit of my memory.

OR

A collection of events that lead Ryland Grace to a certain sunset flag.

Summary

After what feels like an eternity, the earth shakes. A deep rumble that Stratt can feel even from where she stands, kilometers away. Smoke spills across the ground, the trees shake, and the air feels impossibly warmer. It’s almost comforting in contrast to the teeth-chattering cold of the last few weeks. It’s just the winter time approaching. The days are getting shorter and colder, as they always do. The warmth will return in spring, until it doesn’t anymore.

Humanity holds their breath, watching as their Hail Mary shoots up, a beacon of hope. Their only hope.

OR

Earth's reaction to the launch of the Hail Mary

Summary

“I’m… not a girl. I’m uhm, I’m a trans guy.”

The room is silent for a moment. I can see her shaking as she waits for me to respond.

“Okay! Thank you for telling me,” I said, calmly. I was a bit out of my depth here. I’ve had queer kids before, of course, but having one come out to me like this was a new experience.

She– he blinks at me, clearly surprised at my anticlimactic reaction. Should I have been more surprised? Enthusiastic? I don’t know how to respond in this situation. I didn’t want to freak him out by freaking out, but what if that was what he wanted? This has got to be a big deal for him. Do I seem uninterested? Crap!

OR

One of Grace's students comes out to him.

Summary

How would I die? Shoot myself up with Yao’s gun, if I could find it. Throw myself out the airlock, float around and join my crew members in the stars. Maybe my body would make it to Erid to see Rocky one last time.

Maybe I’d die of starvation. Or go completely insane and kill myself with something this lab.

That’s more options than Stratt gave me.

OR

After he parts ways with Rocky, Grace spirals about his journey home.

Summary

“This is not a discussion, Adrien. You’re dismissed.” His father looked away from him and back at his computer monitor and something stirring inside him wanted to smash everything in the room and scream until someone finally listened to him. He tempered it down and muttered out a Yes, Father from between clenched teeth. He slipped out the door and up the stairs as his feelings bubbled up inside him and he felt like he was reaching a boiling point and there was nothing he could do because his father was turning the stove up hotter and hotter. His face burned with frustration as he shut the door to his room with more force than usual.

Or: Chat Noir has a bad day; Ladybug lets him talk about it.

Summary

“Jesus Christ, Chuuya is going to kill this idiot for worrying him like this, for being a suicidal maniac who decided to put himself in the damn trajectory of a machine that they don't even know all the effects of yet.”

When a stranger starts stealing people's abilities, the ADA and the Port Mafia team up to figure it out. However, something goes wrong and Dazai loses his ability in the process.
The big problem? His ability not only nullified the abilities of others, but also his own emotions. And now, for the first time in his life, Dazai has emotions, chaotic and in turmoil. In the midst of this identity crisis, Dazai sets out to explore the world with Chuuya as his grumpy bodyguard, only to discover that he has never felt so...alive. And then they find out that if they don't find a way to give him back his ability, Dazai will die within two weeks.
In a race against time, chaos ensues.
