Smiling At Grief (Was Not This Love Indeed?) by Alexander_Writes

Summary
Crowley’s hands go to Aziraphale’s face – where is his taut anger, his tired emptiness, his alarming distance? “Look at me, please.”
“My dear,” Aziraphale breathes.
“It was a trick. You’re alive. I’m alive. We have time to find the printer, or the catalogue, or the digitised whatever, wherever the copy of the book is. We can put this back together.”
Or, Crowley has a plan, but Aziraphale doesn't know it. It works. A canon-compliant fix-it of series 3.

Summary
“He’s in there.” Crowley jerks his head towards the cell door, unenthusiastically.
“Oh,” Aziraphale hesitates, “he?”
Crowley growls into his hands. “They’re killing the lad tomorrow, at least give him that.”
“Oh. I never met him, you see.” Aziraphale carefully lays a hand on Crowley’s knee, just for a moment. “My dear, what has happened?”
“Do you know why they’re executing him?”
“I imagine it’s because he’s an enemy soldier with God on his side, who’s shown them to be fools.”
“Heresy. He wore men’s clothing, you see.”
Long before Armageddon, Crowley and Aziraphale meet outside Jeanne d'Arc's cell. Aziraphale comes to realise something about Crowley and something, maybe, about himself.

Summary
Sherlock is relatively confident that he isn’t a sodomite. That would be simpler. He cannot imagine this creature rising in his gut for any other man. And whatever form it wishes to take, he cannot see it resembling something ordinary. This isn’t about sex. This is about wanting to curl up in the centre of James Moriarty’s life, and live there like a creature.
Or, after the events of series one, Sherlock reckons with his feelings, James' relationship with Beatrice, and what Sherlock really wants from James Moriarty.

Summary
“If you’re a time traveller,” Hopeless asked, “when did you come from?”
Hopeless had moved nearer to Larrikin, who had not really sobered, and was still looking excessively happy with himself for no particular reason.
“I … two thousand and seventeen,” Valkyrie said, and then she looked at Skulduggery, “help me up.”
The skeleton took a moment to move, and then he extended a hand and supported her arms so she could stand. There was an overwhelming lack of familiarity in his behaviour.
“Alright,” Dexter said, “So that’s how you know Skulduggery.”
Valkyrie frowned, “I didn’t expect you to take that so well.”
“Well,” Larrikin said from the floor, where Dexter had dropped him sometime during his laughing fit. “You’re not the first.”
Or, Valkyrie travels back in time and meets the Dead Men. She finds them very different to what she expected.

Summary
“Sleep. I watch,” he warbles from his post at the door. The first thing he’s said to me in hours. We haven’t talked about anything yet, aside from his pushing to prove I wasn’t hiding more contraband. I scowl at him.
“Don’t want to.” I feel like one of my kids with the level of petulance that seeps into my voice. I miss my kids. I miss having a place. I have a place here, I need to accept it’s just… Different. Still, I’m not gonna listen to Rocky right now.
Rocky grumbles at me. “Scientists say Grace hasn’t slept in 32.6 hours.” Jeez, has it really been that long? I don’t think I’ve had an all-nighter that bad since college. “Cognitive impairment begins after only 24. Bad decisions, dangerous thoughts like you mention. Why you are sick.”
“You left me.” I didn’t mean to say that. Too late.
or Grace is having a hard time adjusting to life on Erid, and it only gets worse when Rocky disappears. They work it out.

Summary
“It’s different when I’m… looking at it. Thinking about it. Do I need to tell you again about the whole ‘taboo’ thing? I can go over it again.”
“And I watch you. We are already several layers deep into taboo.”
“I would be eating myself!”
“Grace,” I can’t help but stamp a claw for emphasis. It needs to listen,”your body is already eating itself.”

OrGrace finds out that he can stomach the meburger.
It’s not a happy moment!

From Teacher to Savior of the Stars and Back by Moobloom_Mention

Summary
“What do you think about your statue?”
My finger freezes on the careful swoop of the “g.” “What, question?” Okay, maybe it’s a little childish to add the “question” bit, but it’s the only way I can think of conveying emphasis right now.
It definitely gets the kids’ attention. “You haven’t seen your statue?”
I have a statue? I glance around the room. Nobody speaks up.
Oh god. I have a statue. Like an actual statue that apparently everyone’s seen except me.
And as if it couldn’t get any worse, “It’s in the middle of the cluster. In the plaza.”
Grace learns that everyone on Erid sees him as a hero. Thankfully, Rocky's there to remind Grace who he really is. Human.
