Summary
“Goodnight, Dad!”
“Goodnight, duckling!” His smile dropped when the door clicked shut. Closed his eyes. Counted to ten. It wouldn’t do to blow a hole in the hotel they just finished. He’s spent too much of his life blowing up shit just because he could fix it afterwards. As if there were no consequences to being a giant rage monster just because nothing stayed broken. It’s a problem he got under wraps a few thousand years ago, but few things challenge his control like Charlie, her safety, their lack of relationship. But, no, this wasn’t about that; It was about that asshole being to chickenshit to go to the top and instead bothering little girls with too much on their plate.
***
It's strange for Lucifer to wander back into Hellish society after centuries of isolation. There was a reason he left, a reason he no longer even tried. But Charlie had a plan. Who knew if it was even going to work, but there was no way in Hell he was going to let her stick it to Heaven without help.
If only that radio demon wasn't such an asshole.Updates Tuesday

Summary
“Let me get this straight,” Adachi says when everyone’s been topped up and a couple of new bottles sit between them. Adachi appears to pause over his choice of phrasing before shaking his head and continuing. “The question isn’t so much if we let the guy who shot Kasuga get into a relationship with him, but, what? How do we get Kasuga to come out of the closet?”
“Worse.” Zhao sighs. “How do we get Kasuga to realize he’s in the closet.”

Arakawa comes back into Ichiban's life. It's not as straightforward as Ichiban hopes. -
Elegy for Elpis by Eli_Emu, QueenOfPentalcles (Eli_Emu)

Summary
“Timothy made a lot of bad decisions... So here he was alone on Elpis, with no way out and no official papers because, to put the cherry on top, he didn’t officially exist anymore. God, he sure helped that not everyone on Elpis was as mad as they made Pandorans up to be.”
---
Timothy’s boss sends him down alone, with minimal training, a couple of guns, and a couple of AI’s so experimental that don’t even have their learning algorithms up and running. There’s a lot on the line and Timothy is the man for the job; mostly because he’s the only one for around. Realistically, it going to be only days before Timothy is decomposing on the moon’s surface.Series

Summary
Timothy and Vaughn get the opportunity of a lifetime, the possibility of a free fixer-upper android. Sure, they both have no money to even really fix an android, with Vaughn going to school and Timothy trying to pay back his loans after dropping out, but how hard can it be, really?
---
Set in the Detroit universe. You don't really need to play the game to read this. It's basically just an Android AU with a bit of spice.Series

It's fascinating, how different situations show our true colors. These are Timothy Lawrence's, among different times and different worlds. None the less, it's still the same, damaged Timothy.

Summary
Asking Kiryu on a date is supposed to be a joke. It’s just another in Majima’s long list of contrived reasons for Kiryu to get mad enough at him to fight him.
So he’s thrown for a loop when Kiryu doesn’t answer by punching him in the face, but by accepting.
Obviously Kiryu’s playing along, just like he did with the bartender scheme, and with Goromi, and everything else. Majima can work with that. There’s no way he’ll crack before Kiryu does.
Or: Majima commits to the bit so hard he ends up in a long-term relationship.

Summary
The Eridians have finally gotten the water feature in Ryland's personal zoo enclosure just right (even if Rocky would like him to stop calling his dome that).
Rocky refuses to believe that humans naturally float. There is no way Ryland's entire species regularly goes into deep water for fun.

“Grace, question?” Rocky was becoming increasingly more nervous. He’d never seen Grace do this before. Sleep was supposed to be restful. This didn’t look restful at all.
