Summary
He forgot about- that.
Maybe it's all the previous fights that taught Sam to just leave the body there to disappear soon after. Maybe he just wanted to focus on happier thoughts. But the fact remains — Vana is still here, right where he left him.
The pool of blood would be nauseating to see under different circumstances. 'You did it. You did it.' But it's not Sam's fault. And it's not like the guy was actually alive to begin with.
***
Neil is back to the world of living. And both he and Sam have a lot of conflicting feelings about that. -

Summary
“What gives you the right-?” the words echo in his mind. Odysseus wishes he had stopped and given the cyclops something to remember them by. Perhaps taking Polyphemus' arm – even though this probably won’t amount to the same blinding pain he feels.
He glances back at Polites and realizes it wouldn't have mattered. A single warrior can kill dozens in a battle, yet even gods rarely bring a single soul back to life. Odysseus is just a soldier, so he begs Polites to hold on.

Summary
A hot tear escapes and then another. You catch yourself shaking. ‘I’ve fucking tried!’
‘And did it make anything better?’ the voice is almost gentle as it dredges up your shame. ‘Was it worth it?’
***
Basically just Jean contemplating if he should give up and getting interrupted by someone in need of help. -

Summary
Maybe Lucy was right. Not about all of it. But she clearly could see what he himself denied so vehemently — his existence is a mistake.

Summary
Asking himself these questions feels idiotic. He is neither some clueless kid, nor was he doing it for the hell of it, so does it matter how it felt?
It wasn't even bad. It just- She pouted and pushed until she got exactly what she wanted. He supposed it was the point — to get the experience you want. Hardly something to be upset about.
...She would like to think of herself as a good person but Sylvia knows perfectly well that it's not a sentiment compatible with her job — the best she can hope for is to pledge her sins to a good enough cause.
She isn't a good person but she allows herself — scandalously, selfishly — to care a little.

Summary
Yor's proposition is innocent, almost childish: 'I won't look'. And yet it's that innocence that makes him trust the offer.
Tears roll silently, hot and heavy. And, if he can remain quiet, then there will be no proof- she doesn't have to know. Except his breath hitches and comes back as a stuttering sob. Twilight shifts — his back to Yor's now — not that it helps to conceal his distress.
"It's okay," she reassures.
It isn't. It really isn't.

Summary
Athena is not one to openly display/accept care. But maybe in the safety of her owl form, she isn't hiding her emotions so thoroughly.
(Just a little fluffy thing. 5+1 kind of story. Maybe. When I'll have time.)

Summary
“Oh. I see.” The corner of his mouth twitches up in a failed attempt to smile. “I’m fine. But thank you.”
“Your definition of ‘fine’ would interest some scholars.” Odysseus catches his hand again, this time trapping it between his two. To the cold skin, they feel like fire. “Enlighten me: why would one avoid the comfort of his own bed and blankets in favor of slowly freezing outside?”
***
This is literally "somebody, please give him a hug and wrap him in a blanket". Can you blame me?

Summary
Odysseus stops and lets them both catch their breath. After a moment they continue to hobble forward – deeper into the dark undergrowth – and he can’t take the silence anymore:
“At least you are not as ridiculously tall as Eurylochus. I have no idea what I would do with him,” he whispers hoping Polites would take the bait.
***
This was supposed to be purely self-indulgent "Odysseus takes care of injured Polites" but then the characters took over and proceeded to have an existential crisis. Good thing they can ground each other.Dedicated to the wicked woman who sent me "a cool animatic to check out". You know what you did

Summary
Len knows the unspoken question: “Will they decommission him? Will YOU decommission him?” It hurts to know that his own vode can’t trust him. Not with the image of a medic that the longnecks instilled in them.
***
I like the trope "everyone tries to escape med-bay and medics need to drag them back" but a) shouldn't they know better? b) poor medics. So Len is the new CMO of 212th and he has a huge problem on his hands....
Set before the events of "Little differences" but later chapters may go well past it. We will see. (You can read it as stand-alone)Series

Summary
Connecting with people never was Mordecai's greatest strength. Perhaps that's why he treasures Atlas' goodwill so much. But... actually, there are other people who care about him - no strings attached.
...
Atlas gives Mordecai an order he can't refuse, even though carrying it out means dealing with some unpleasant emotions.***

There are very few things Mordecai hates more than a mess, spiders and mould. And there is a very good reason for that.

Summary
Follows the events of Momentum. Atlas leaves Viktor to deal with injured Mordecai.
***
Look, I just wanted some fluff but Atlas continues to not give a damn, Viktor is too busy mourning his past life and the last thing Mordecai wants is to appear weak. So it's hurt-comfort but it's as fluffy as you can imagine coming from these guys.Series

Set shortly after the Malevolence arc. The four survivors spend evening together.
Grief is not linear. Sometimes we found moments of peace within its waves. Sometimes we can smile even though the scars are still raw and aching.
