    Summary

    In those last split seconds before it ends, there is intimacy.

    In that shuddering gasp between stability and unimaginable force, a glance shared with another man - all those conversations you wanted to have but didn’t, all that useless yearning directed at nothing - his hand instinctively presses to the front of your kit in a pale echo of wish, of a boy’s last cry for his mother. Or a pat for a job well done; an impotent display of brotherhood at the edge of reality.

    - - -

    Simon and John struggle to lean on each other after their mutual discharge, navigating their trauma, feelings, and what it means to be intimate with another man.

    Summary

    “Ah. Here is a young man transfixed. Do you like Hunt, sir?"
    "Do I like him?" Phil tore his eyes from the painting before him and marvelled at the stranger at his elbow. Like him? One might as well ask do you like Michaelangelo? Do you like Homer? Do you like the Alps?
     
    An art enthusiast with a talent for meteorology meets (arguably) the Finest Painter in England. But impressing your idol can be damned hard work, especially when he's all pride and prejudice, and you're all sensibility and no sense. Heavy weather ahead...

    Summary

    Really, the entire situation Kuroo has gotten himself into is ridiculous, especially for his ripe age of 30 years. He decapitates the zucchini just a bit more aggressively than necessary and starts chopping it into chunky, crooked pieces. Back when they were still friends, they never really talked about what they were looking for in potential partners. He wonders if Kenma would be looking for a good cook, and tries chopping it a bit more evenly.

    Sometimes, it only takes a small step for a big change. Like a text. Or displaying your heart on a silver platter.

    Summary

    Henry abruptly realized that he was defenseless, with nothing between him and the most infamous pirate captain on the Atlantic, and the sudden surge of terror this brought roused him to full wakefulness. He scrambled, crab-like, away from the captain.

    The man laughed, a sky-bright thing that seemed to take up all the air between them. "Settle down," he said. "I've no plans to sully my blade with your innards. Not today, anyway," he said with a grin.

    Summary

    Dave Bowman is calm. He’s not upset. He’s not panicking. He’s calmly, efficiently making his way to the ship’s logic core.

    There is horror threatening to seep in around the edges. He’s in an airless ship with three dead astronauts and an insane computer. He just jettisoned Frank’s body into the depths of space. He’s a hundred million miles from home, and the communication antenna is broken.

    But Dave has a simple objective. He’s going to get to the logic core and disconnect HAL.

    Or, a non-traditional love story between an AI and the human he once tried to kill.
