Summary
It is a fact of Stede Bonnet's world that those with soulmates dream of their match's lips -- smiling, wind-chapped, bearded or bloodied as they may be. As the day approaches to meet your intended, the dreams reveal the rest of their face, bit by bit, until one meets their eyes outside of their dreams for the first time. It just so happens that Stede's soulmate appears to be a sailor, and he's got a boat with no family to board it.
A soulmate AU, not especially canon compliant.

Summary
Somewhere, deep inside his rattled brain, he knew that Lup had seen him cry before, had seen him in much worse shape than now, but this was no time for logic. Between the sleep deprivation and the certainty of failure, he could only think she can’t see me like this, because she’ll be disgusted and leave me for sure.

Set in the same universe/timeline as 'these days, mainly losing you', but can be read stand-alone.Series

Summary
One of the first things Barry had learned about Taako, many years before when they became acquainted, was that the only person he would willingly talk to on the phone was Lup. It was a quirk of his best friend’s personality that he had grown not to question, simply rolling his eyes whenever it made a situation more complicated than necessary.
It was all the more concerning, then, when Barry’s phone lit up during his Materials and Methods of Necromancy lecture with an incoming call from Taako Taaco.

Summary
Seventy cycles before Norman Takamori opens a crate in the cargo bay of the Red Hot, a newborn cerebroslug hatches on Planet A37ex9c on the edges of unincorporated space.
The first thing he is aware of—his first moment of consciousness, preserved in crystalline clarity in the deceptively complex pathways of his neural network—is pressure on all sides caging him in. Instinct urges him to push, to break free, to move and explore and survive. He cracks through the slimy shell of his egg, and he only has a few spare moments to appreciate the wet, comforting warmth cradling his fragile little body before he's violently expelled onto a hard surface several meters below.

Summary
“Lily,” Hayden says automatically. “You know about Lily?”
Something flickers across Rozanov’s face. His jaw twitches. “Yes, I know about Lily.” He raises his eyebrows.
Hayden feels like a complete asshole, all of a sudden. There’s just been too much going on to even think about Shane’s mystery girlfriend. “Shit, I should probably, like, call her, or something? I don’t know this girl at all, but Shane’s been obsessed with her for years. If she was watching the game, she would have seen him get hurt.”
“You don’t need to call her,” Rozanov says, and when Hayden glances at him, he still looks fucking miserable but now he’s rolling his eyes, a much more familiar expression of disdain on his face. “She’s sitting right here.”
--
Hayden Pike and Ilya Rozanov are waiting for Shane to wake up after he took a bad hit on the ice. They get to talking.Chapter 2: Ilya and Shane talk about what it means, now that someone knows their secret.

Summary
It’s my turn to wear a boyfriend tee to-unit, Skip says.
Norman is taken so offguard, he exclaims, “Boyfriend tee?!” out loud in the otherwise quiet of their room.
Yeah! Skip cheerfully replies. Marge says that’s what it’s called when you wear the shirt of someone you like.
“No,” he says. “It’s only a boyfriend tee if you’re my boyfriend, and you’re not.”
The body halts halfway through putting on a pair of jeans, their knee raised awkwardly.
“I’m not?” Skip asks, out loud now too. He has the audacity to sound forlorn about it, like he and Norman discussed this at any point at all.
“No?” Norman replies. “Did you ask me out? Did we say we were dating? Did we have any sort of conversation about it?”
“But…” Skip replies, pouting down at their jeans. Norman mentally rolls his eyes and takes back control so he can continue putting on their pants.

Summary
Atop Aurora Nebbins’ back, protecting Sidney with his body as best as he can, Gunnie waves his arms at them in outrage. “Quit making out with the Princeps and get them to the ship!” He sounds livid, slightly muffled by Sidney’s hands on his face. “On the double!”
“On the double.” Skip repeats, softly, just ‘cause he likes the way it sounds. He assumes that it means ‘right fucking now.’ When he speaks, his lips brush against the Princep’s ear. They shiver with delight, their broad hand gently cupping the curve of his cheek to kiss him again.
