Summary
Ryland Grace doesn't even bother trying to not cry when he sees the little house on the beach. The water might be boiling, and the terraform dome might be barely bigger than the Hail Mary herself, but Rocky and Adrian made him a house. Instead of living alone on a spaceship forever he can live on Erid. They made him a bedroom. They brought down Armando. Grace sits on the floor and focuses on breathing evenly.
Is good reaction, he hears Rocky tell Adrian. Leaking sign of strong emotion. Grace often have strong emotion.

"I just — I just hate feeling like I'm slowing the team down," said Spencer.
"Reid." Rossi squeezed the kid's skinny shoulder. "You're so far ahead of the rest of us that you couldn't slow us down if you were wearing concrete."

Summary
Keiko was over Miles's shoulder in the video message. "Hi, Nerys!" she said. She looked the same, too, although her hair was up, and she was in uniform. "We're moving to Bajor!"

Summary
Astarion’s first thought seeing the cave bear behind bars isn’t well, I wonder what that tastes like. It may, however, be his second or his third thought.
(Four times Astarion thinks about drinking Halsin's blood, and one time he does.)

Summary
It turned out that working for the Case Progression Unit wasn't all that bad, in the end, even if it didn't seem like it at the time. I won't go so far as to say that maybe things "turned out for best" or were "meant to be," or any of those other inane platitudes that well-meaning people reach for after something unbelievably messed up happens to you, like your face falling off. But like my father's always said — who the fuck knows why anything happens?
(An AU where Peter went to get coffees instead of Lesley, and things are very much different.)

She understood three certainties in that moment.

Summary
Kakashi always figured he’d be unlikely to reach 30. Bleeding out in the remote mountains of Fire country, he can’t help but find a little amusement in dying just a week short of the mark.
And then he awakens, still quite alive, in the home of a man who claims to be a local civilian.
...Iruka might have a little too much sympathy for wounded strays.

Summary
After years of settling into a comfortable life as a sensei, Iruka is pulled back into the field for an S-rank he has no business being on, utilizing an ability he’s hardly ever trained, with the same mission captain who had overseen his final fuckup in the field years ago. A mission captain who doesn’t seem particularly happy to be working with him again.
Iruka probably wouldn’t be particularly happy about this, either, if he wasn’t focused on just trying to make it home alive.

Summary
Returning from summer break with a freshly scarred back and a sort-of-adopted student, Iruka resolves to deal with absolutely no nonsense this school year. For an entire morning, he manages to convince himself that it’s even a remotely realistic goal.
And then, of course, the strange, moderately off-putting, and more than a little infuriating new gym teacher has to barge into his life.
