Summary
Sixty-seven days clean, and Rue Bennett’s first real test is a graduation party she only agreed to because Lexi asked and nobody says no to Lexi.
She wasn’t expecting Maddy Perez.
She wasn’t expecting a lot of things — the way a drink spilled between them could turn into thirty minutes against a wall, or the way Maddy looks when she thinks nobody’s watching, or the specific feeling of standing next to someone who’s also in the middle of rebuilding something and not quite ready to name what they’re building.
This is a story about two girls who never really knew each other learning how to know themselves first. About recovery that isn’t linear and healing that doesn’t announce itself. About the slow, inconvenient, slightly terrifying thing that happens when someone sees you — actually sees you — right when you’re figuring out who you are.
It takes a while. It’s worth it.

Summary
Shane has everything he could ever ask for. A loving family. A devoted husband. The life he'd always dreamed of.
So why does it feel like his chest is caving in when his mom calls Ilya her favourite?

Summary
Shane's bottom lip trembles ever so slightly, voice brittle. "I can't breathe."
Ilya's heart breaks at his plead. No matter how much it hurt when Shane left or when Ilya saw him with Rose, seeing Shane like this, tears in his eyes, voice cracking, none of it seems to matter.
"Yes, you can." Ilya's words are steady and sure. He slides one of his hands down to Shane's chest, pressing his palm to his sternum. "Focus on me."
Or: Shane has a couple of panic attacks (tuna melt and Montreal club) and Ilya helps him through them.

Summary
She swallows hard, not even realizing where she is until Maddy’s surprised yelp sounds way closer than it should.
“Rue, what the hell are you doing? Why are you outside my window at—” She looks at the clock on her vanity— “2:30 AM?”
Maddy has a polka-dot robe on now, clutching the two sides closed to keep out the chilly night air.
Rue has stepped onto Maddy’s lawn. In front of Maddy’s window. Where Maddy can definitely see her.
Stupid.
“Uh—” she starts, scrambling, “Fuck, I didn't—I mean, it wasn't—”
Rue’s hands move in useless little gestures, like that might somehow explain things. Maddy just watches her, arms crossed, her mouth shaped suspiciously like a smile. She cuts Rue off before she can dig herself any deeper.
“Rue.”
“Yeah?”
“Do you need a place to crash tonight?”
When Rue accidentally ends up at Maddy’s house, comfort shows up wearing someone else’s perfume, and Rue pretends that doesn’t mean anything.

Summary
Shane Hollander doesn’t do cheat days.
Not with his training. Not with his diet. Not with his life.
Then a ridiculously attractive Russian-Italian chef in Milano force-feeds him the best ravioli he’s ever had and calls him a good boy and things spiral from there.
Between Olympic pressure, impossible expectations, and a connection neither of them is ready to name, Shane finds himself unraveling in ways he doesn’t understand.- Language:

Summary
A private conversation between Shane and Rose goes viral. No, not that one. Another one. One about unrequited love, undiagnosed autism, and a preference for submission. The fallout will be impossible to handle. Especially because Ilya Rozanov probably saw the entire thing.

Summary
Shane wasn’t his boyfriend. But for a while it had felt like it. They’d been alone in his house. He’d made them tuna melts and watched TV. They’d cuddled like a real couple. And then he had to go and ruin it. Like he ruins everything. The press won't stop talking about Shane and Rose. He's turning into his mother and for some reason, Scott Hunter is the only one who sees him. And it scares him.
OR
Ilya spirals after the tuna melt scene and engages in self-destructive behaviors. Scott Hunter notices and refuses to go away.

Summary
He hadn’t meant to keep them. To make it a collection. But the shoe box shoved under his bed, (next to the shoebox full of family and hockey photos, and another box of random memorabilia from his childhood,) had been getting heavier and heavier.
Shane lets himself be stupid, is caught out being stupid, and ends up feeling stupider. Ilya does not think he is stupid.

Summary
Mica handled a lot of unpredictable situations in their job as an emergency hatchling guardian. It came with the territory – there were all kinds of reasons a pebble too young to be alone might need watching by someone who wasn’t a cluster member. But Mica had never had a situation like the call they received from the space science cluster.
“Engineer Rocky is on that ship, apparently injured, and he’s brought back some kind of alien with him. It’s very young, only IIVI years old, it doesn’t have any of its own kind, but it learned some Eridian from Engineer Rocky. Can you come and watch it while Engineer Rocky recovers and we work out what it needs?”
or, Grace gets babysat by an Eridian.

Summary
Zoro’s used to being the one people rely on in a fight. A tool. A shield. A sword (or three). No one’s ever accused him of being intelligent—or even having common sense. Then he met Luffy—and the rest of them—and somehow, he thought he’d found something different. People who saw him as something other than an idiot. Something other than a weapon.
But between getting lost, missing things everyone else seems to just get, and saying the wrong thing at exactly the wrong time, it’s not hard to start hearing the same old story again—from the very people he opened himself up to: he’s stupid, and he’s only good with a sword.
And if that’s how the Straw Hats see him… then maybe that’s all he is.
The problem is, the Straw Hats don’t realize what they’re reinforcing.
And by the time they do, Zoro’s already running himself into the ground trying to be useful enough to keep.
Now they just have to figure out how to fix something they didn’t even know they broke—before he breaks himself for good.

Alienation and Recovery by I_Like_This_A_Normal_Amount

Summary
While working on solving the issue of Grace slowly dying of starvation, malnutrition, and a host of other issues, the Eridians discover the human internet (largely Wikipedia) and fall down a rabbit hole of trying to figure out everything they can about the needs of their squishy alien savior. While most of their focus is on the food issue, another link catches their (metaphorical) eyes.
"Touch starvation, also known as touch deprivation or skin hunger, is the physiological need by humans and other species for physical contact with their own species or other living beings."
No one is happy about this.

Summary
Jamie's been fighting himself every since he was little. It's been worth it up till now, he's always felt the need to stick it out and push forward. So it's no surprise to him when he can't find the strength to keep going.
a.k.a I hurt Jamie Tartt but with depression and self-harm to really round it out. 'tis the season.
"Perhaps that’s why it was so clear when it was his time to go. He’d always been an Icarus, flying too low or too high, letting the darkness nip at his heels and threaten to send him plummeting out of the sky. But he’d always straighten his course out. Always fall back into the regular, stable tension that kept him alive.
He wasn’t going anywhere this time. He tries to pull himself out of it, he really does. He drags metal across his legs to try and bleed the apathy out of him but it just won’t leave. He knows when he’s been beat. He’s fucking exhausted."

Jamie has this dream, sometimes. It starts, and he can’t breathe, and he can’t wake up.
It’s like: He’s in a car, and he’s driving real fucking fast, and for some reason it’s dark out and he can’t see for shit but he’s still not slowing down.
It’s like: He doesn’t want to slow down.
It’s like: He’s in a car, and he’s driving real fucking fast, and for some reason it’s dark out and he can’t see for shit but he’s still not slowing down and there’s a cliff rising in front of him, closer and closer and closer, and he might not be able to see for shit but for some reason he can see that cliff and the empty abyss beyond it.
It’s like: He knows the cliff is coming and he doesn’t want to slow down.

He was trying. Jamie had fucking meant it. He wasn’t trying to waste Roy’s time, but the nasty little voice at the back of his skull wondered whether he was wasting it anyway. It was a habit of Jamie’s, wasting his chances.

Summary
“Grace taking long time. Grace okay, question? Need help, question?”
Of all things Grace didn’t want, he especially didn’t want Rocky’s help.
“Nope! You don’t need to help–I’m just…” He held his glasses up to inspect them. Well, at least Grace tried to inspect them, but he couldn’t freaking see. “I’m just cleaning up a bit before bed.”
It wasn’t a complete lie. He had been intending to clean up.
Grace moved his glasses between his fingers, feeling over what he knew was shattered glass. Great. Perfect.
(Grace breaks his one and only pair of glasses. Naturally, he doesn't tell Rocky this very important information.)

Rocky knows that Grace is considered an adult for his species, but his hindbrain goes crazy when he finds out he’s in his 30s. So that’s why he’s been feeling weirder than normal. His alpha instincts think Grace is a pebble.
