    Summary

    “What is a ‘field trip’?”   

    The unexpected question makes me stop in my tracks. I stumble over my own two feet and almost bite my own tongue which is a new low, even for me. If I keep going like this I am never going to beat the clumsy human allegations. At least Rocky is not here. If he’d witnessed my latest embarrassing blunder he would have found ways to tease me about it for a week straight. It’s unfortunate that my class has to see me like this but they are a lot more forgiving and understanding of their ungraceful teacher than my best friend. A fact I like to hold over his head from time to time. 

    Not that he cares. He maintains that he’s earned the right to mock me as much as he likes after having to watch me stumble and fall repeatedly over the same threshold for four years. 

    And maybe he’s not wrong. 

    Don’t ever tell him I said that.

    ********

    There is no way Grace can take the pebbles on a field trip. At least not without help.

    Summary

    The Eridian thrills a high sound that doesn’t get picked up by the translator which means that it has no clear meaning. Like when a human gasps or sucks in a deep breath. It actually sounds a little like that. When they notice that I’m staring straight at them they scramble back into their hiding spot and hold very still. 

    A child, I realize with a start.

    That’s a child! 

    “Hey,” I call and the kid squeaks again. I was about to get to my feet but abort the movement and crawl closer on my hands and knees until I'm inches away from the xenonite wall. I wait and it takes me much too long to realize that they don’t have to peek around the corner to see if I’m still there.

    “Hey there,” I try again, my voice low and calm. It’s my teacher voice, the one I use for shy and scared students. 

    Used. 

    The fact that I haven’t had to use it for years and it still comes to me automatically almost knocks the air out of my lungs but this is not about me, it’s about making sure the little pebble doesn’t die of fright from the scary alien. “Hi, I’m Grace. It’s alright, you don’t have to be scared.”

    Summary

    Matt Murdock and Foggy Nelson are both professors to Columbia Law students. It's well known among students that both are fantastic professors and brilliant lawyers. Students that have Professor Nelson are subjected to quite a bit of his life story and know that he's married, has two kids, and basically everything else anyone could want to know about him. Students that have Professor Murdock know a total of three things: his name is Matt Murdock, he's blind, and he's married. And they only know that last one because of the wedding band on his finger. It's not uncommon for students to have both Professors Nelson and Murdock over their time as law students, and usually students have them multiple times. It is, however, rare that students have both professors at the same time. A lucky group of six are in class with both this semester, one class right after the other. If they're lucky, these six may earn some new insight into both professors.

     

    or, a 5+1 fic with five instances of students thinking that professors Murdock and Nelson had a strange relationship and one instance in which they finally figured it out
