    Summary

    “Oh,” I sigh, rubbing still-shaking hands across my stubbly face because oh, that was so close. Too close. We were supposed to be done with the theatrics, with the life-and-death bullhonkey.

    What the heck, universe? Not cool.

    I don’t want to move for a bit. The siren song of dissociation calls my name, and honestly, I’m so, so chill with just sitting here for a second and decompressing and trying to remember all the breathing techniques I learned for my students, butー

    But the lights are still flashing red, flashing with urgency and Mary is saying something and I have to drag my mind, kicking and screaming, back to focusー

    “-ected. Toxic gas in Laboratory detected. Toxic gas in Laboratory-” Mary drones, and once it clicks into place the cold sweat is backー

    Oh god noー

    The banging noise. The gas leak. The lab.

    Rocky.

    Summary

    “Oh, yeah.” He uncapped the marker with his teeth and tasted cheap plastic. Dragged a line through the seven hard enough the tip squeaked. “Seven days.”

    In four days, they would be picked up by Erid’s imaging system. In five, radar communication. In seven, Rocky would be home, Erid would be saved, and Ryland might finally get something other than Tauamoeba slurp.

    He should have been counting down too.

    Or: Grace and Rocky save stars, and above all, Rocky gets to go home. To Erid. To Adrian. Then why does Ryland feel so empty?

    Dr. Ryland Grace was also deathly allergic to peanuts.

    An unexpected reaction leads to an unexpected conversation.

    Summary

    "Without thinking of it, Grace makes it through two and three fourths of a bag of coffee. Rookie numbers. The taste didn't get better, but it was something new, almost comforting in how demanding it was of his senses. It shushed that little voice telling him if he had to see another white spaceship panel, or taste taumoeba again, he would throw himself into the nearest star’s orbit."
    ...
    Grace remembers he can drink coffee, and immediately regrets it.

    Summary

    Rocky is up to something.

    It probably won’t kill us—we’ve put far too much work into keeping each other alive for that—but every time I try to get closer to see what he’s doing, he acts like I’m trying to murder his firstborn or something and shoos me away so I don’t “ruin Grace surprise”. Jerk.

    “Let’s go for ramen.” Nendou says, loud as always - they’re changing their shoes in the locker room, about to head home for the day.

    He trembles a little, clutching his ribs in obvious pain. It's time to follow their friend to figure out what kind of trouble he's in.

    Summary

    This device had the potential to change his life, to grant him his greatest wish and bestow upon him the one thing that he had been striving for all his years: Normality.
    Saiki sighed and turned the object to and fro in his hand. The device had been a “gift” – for the lack of a better term – from his brother. And like all things that came from his brother, it had come with a price.

    A semi re-write of Episode 6 of the Saiki K. Reawakened series based on this prompt from WeHadABondingMoment:
    So, after Saiki loses his powers, he gradually gets them back, right? Well not here. What if, instead of the powers ceasing to exist, one of Saiki's friends got his powers instead and now has to deal with them?

    Summary

    ‘It was, decidedly, not Grace’s day.

    He felt as though he had completed at least 15 laps on Stratt’s Vat from all the people who needed a word with him. What little free time he had between his brief meetings were filled by mind-numbing paperwork that never seemed to shrink in number. And, to top it all off, he had an annoyingly persistent stomach ache that had plagued him since he woke up.’

    Or: Grace gets a bad stomach ache just before meeting with the primary Hail Mary crew and blames it on overworking himself. Spoiler alert: it isn’t.
