The Mortifying Ordeal of Being Known by SerotoninShift

Summary
After the Taumoeba leak, after I decided to die after all and turned my ship around to save Rocky, after Rocky's frantic calculations about food supplies, Taumoeba multiplication rates, and human caloric intake needs, after we realized that with some rationing and luck I would make it, but that we were headed toward the unknown territory of trying to rapid-prototype me a life support system and synthetic food supply on an inhospitable planet: after all of that, after everything, I shouldn't have been surprised that it only took a few months on board the Hail Mary for things to get weird.

Summary
I lived with this hunger long before the Hail Mary. This is nothing new. I’m fine.
Right up until Rocky asks another question.
“When last time you touch other human person skin, question?”
Oh. Oh no. “When I… a few days after I first woke up here.”
Rocky starts to relax for a split second, but then tightens when something occurs to him.
“Grace crewmates dead when you wake up. You said this, statement. You not even know your own name, remember nothing, see dead bodies, confirm?”
I nod, because if I open my mouth I will gag.
“When last time Grace touch ALIVE human person, question.”
I swallow thickly. I don’t answer aloud because I know Rocky can hear the hitch in my breath. My stomach churns with fresh bile. He senses my vital signs tick over into stress patterns and goes very, very still again.
“Grace. When last time, question.”
I clench my jaw so hard my temples ache, and beg him with my eyes to just stop.
“Grace. Please say not when… when Evil Stratt humans put you to sleep.”
I can taste grass.

Summary
Grace squeezes out a wet chuckle, thick with emotion, before suddenly falling silent. Its mouth does that strange up-down up-down movement, like it’s trying to figure out if it’s perplexed or amused. “Wait a minute—“ The human flops on its side to face them.
“Rock, that almost sounds like I’m your kids’ \.\\.”
“New word.”
“Uh… companion animal.”

Kuina is seven years old the first time she says, "I wish I was a boy."
~
"You could have been the best," Papa says, looking at her with a sad expression.
Kuina blinks. Her pride and eagerness start to wilt. "But… but I am going to be the best!"
"A girl can't be the best, Kuina."
"Well, I'll be a boy then," she decides, resolute. "I'd rather be a boy anyway!"

Summary
Last time Roronoa Zoro checked, being able to read had no bearing on whether or not someone was qualified to become the world's greatest swordsman - but that didn't mean he went around announcing his difficulties with written language either.
Robin is trying to get to the bottom of a hypothesis she's been building for a while now, but she needs to get the swordsman to fess up to it. Her nakama may be a lot of things - willful, stubborn, lacking a sense of direction - but he is not stupid. She's going to make sure he knows that too.

Summary
Koby’s fist connects with the ground where Luffy was, and it cracks and shatters, sending pavers flying and leaving a massive crater in its wake.
He rises to his feet, shaking the dirt off his knuckles. He looks over in time to see Luffy open an umbrella to protect himself from the falling debris. It does a surprisingly good job for being so small.
“Wait what th– WHERE DID YOU EVEN GET THAT?!” Koby shouts incredulously.
Luffy looks up at the little frog themed umbrella and shrugs. “Dunno. I needed it and it was there!”
He hums and shuts the umbrella, tossing it over his shoulder. The sound of a frog croaking comes from where it landed, and the umbrella hops off. Koby’s jaw drops to the ground. Literally. And Koby screams as soon as he realizes it. His jaw shuts back with a click and he covers his mouth with both hands, looking down in fear. Is it broken? He opens and closes his mouth a few times to test.
Nope, his jaw is just fine. Only a little sore from where Luffy punched him earlier.
“Did I hit my head when I landed?” Koby mutters, bewildered.

Summary
Luffy cries because the sea didn’t hold him, and wishes for the first and last time that he hadn’t eaten the fruit. The wind kicks up when he says it, and Shanks tightens his hold on Luffy as the wind begins to howl. It sounds like a plea, like a mother begging and screaming and wailing, and Luffy squeezes his eyes shut and presses his face into Shanks’ chest, and Shanks’ heart sounds like drums, and the drums sound like the roar of the Sun, and the roar of the Sun sounds like freedom, and Luffy is scared.
He cries because he ate the fruit. He misses swimming and he’s scared of drowning and, for the first time in Luffy’s life, he’s not sure. Shanks looks frightened as he wails with the wind, realizing the gravity of the deal he made, the deal he didn’t know he was making.

Simon, against all odds, makes it back to Mars.
--
Simon was born and raised on Mars. He has not seen it, outside of photographs, for over 21 years. In that time, he has not seen inside the interior of a Martian colony, has not smelled the manufactured, clean air, has not felt the warmth of a well-maintained atmospheric system. And yet, as he absorbs the near-forgotten stimuli, he feels at home. His heart nearly bursts with it.Bookmarked by STINGrayster

Summary
The two of them are quiet for a moment as the music swells and distant laughter echoes. Madoka stares dolefully at the happy dancers.
“It’s disgusting, isn’t it?” Homura tilts her head back, eyes on the stars, dotted between strung lanterns. “To celebrate a time like this, sending their youth out to fight each other. Celebrating human lust for power, their greed, their—are you crying?”
Madoka shifts one gloved hand upwards to wipe at her eye. “Of course I am,” she whispers. “I’m sad.”
...
Homura is Life. Madoka is Death. They’re figuring themselves out.
