Summary
Sometimes life came at you with a clenched fist and Ilya had never figured out how to duck.
So here he was, twenty-eight years old, single, dealing with the fallout from injuries given to him by the game he loved, and the second youngest assistant coach in the league to one of the worst teams. Stability was hard to come by, but he was managing.
Then along came Shane Hollander to knock him on his ass, one more time.

Eggshells by VerdetCadet for BlazingArts, CompletelyDifferent

Summary
St. Germain crouched next to her, her hearty voice soft in Catherine's ear. “It will make its way out slowly at first, and then all at once. No need to rush it, although it bally well rushed us enough. Do you know the words? Good. Good. You are more ready than you think you are.”
Dragons hatch when they want, and sometimes that is five years too early and into the arms of a terrified teenager.

Summary
"Gottlieb!" Pentecost says over the phone. "How's it going?"
"V-Very well. Thank you." An idea occurs to Hermann. Something to say that might secretly alert them to the danger. “Newton and I have been getting along very well.”
“That’s good. That’s good,” Jake says. He doesn’t seem to realize anything is amiss.
Hermann frowns. “No, I said Newton and I are really working well together.”
“Oh!” says Jake. “I get it now. Congratulations, Gottlieb! Certainly took you and Geiszler long enough!”
The connection flickers and cuts off.
“What the hell was that?” Amara hisses.
Hermann is still a little stunned. “I was— I was trying to say something out of character to tip them off.”
“How would that be out of character?”
Hermann spins, outraged. “How would it not be?”

Summary
Newt is sitting on the tabletop, surrounded by the teen rangers. Both his sleeves and pant legs are rolled up as high as they can go. "And this one is obviously Onibaba. I've got Otachi on the back of my upper thigh here, but that one's for my fiancé's eyes only."
Amara squints at Trespasser. "Which one hurt the worst?"
"Hmm," Newt thinks aloud, "Underarms really sucked. So did the back of my knees and my spine. Actually, the spine sucked more because I was in the chair for eight hours and I couldn't sleep comfortably for like, a month."
"So why... why the kaiju?" asks Suresh, and they all go quiet.

Summary
Three and a half years have passed since Empress Chenelo's death. Not even the imperial family gives much thought to her son, who is in the care of Setheris Nelar, in the distant Western Marshes and far from the court.
But vexing news come from Edonomee: Nelar is dead and Maia is without a guardian.
The emperor will have to decide on a new arrangement. For the sake of expediency, Nemolis volunteers to go to Edonomee and bring his half-brother to the Untheileneise Court. After all, the sooner a new guardian is found, the better.

Long before Leif, Ava, and Gloria joined the diner, the Mucklewains decided Caspar needed to stop using such coarse language around the customers.
Unfortunately, Caspar disagreed.
Or, why did the phrase 'aw snails' become the diner's go-to exclamation?

Summary
Granby thinks he could have shot Barham and Admiral Lenton would have defended his decision, however unsuccessfully. He half-wishes he’d done it, except that Laurence would have fussed something horrible and probably taken responsibility for that too.
(Granby's perspective of the scene in Throne of Jade when Laurence is knocked unconscious)

let not man separate by tardigradeschool for AlfAlfAlfAlfAlf

Summary
It all started because Laurence had come into the sitting room when Granby was visiting Tharkay’s estate, mildly cross and holding Tharkay’s greatcoat, which was rumpled from lying in a damp heap in the entryway for two whole days before Laurence noticed it. He had entered the room while shaking it out and folding it, as such a fine piece of clothing deserved, and saying something chiding, along the lines of, “Tenzing, did you never learn you must care for your things if you wish for them to last--?”
“Ah,” Tharkay said, slouching in his practiced way and tilting his sly smile at Granby, “here’s the missus.”

Summary
“No,” Laurence said, but his voice was belated and weak. He attempted to stand from where he had been kneeling beside Temeraire, but his knees buckled beneath him as he fell with a low groan, and Tharkay was forced to grab his arm to keep him upright.
For a moment, Granby attributed it to nothing more than exhaustion and having knelt so long in the Russian chill, then Tharkay said suddenly, sharply, “Will,” in an entirely different tone of voice, demanding and tense. “Where are you bleeding?”
