Roots to Grow and Wings to Fly by Acewithapaintbrush

Summary
“They kept asking questions that had nothing to do with Quinn’s performance.” I roll my eyes and notice that I’m getting worked up again. Trying to get the midnight blue Eridian back on track had been a nightmare and I’d almost lost my composure a couple of times. “Just what I like to do and what I’ve seen of Erid so far and if they can give me a tour once my suit is finished. And they insisted I tell them what my favorite type of mineral is. I mean, why would they want to know that? What does that have to do with how their kid is doing in class?”
Midway through my rant Rocky has stopped carding his claw through my hair. He is silent for a few seconds and I’m just about to ask him if he’s alright when his whole body starts to tremble. It alarms me enough that I wiggle my arms underneath me and lift my upper body off the couch.
“Rock?”
But then the trembling morphs into full on shaking and then laughter so loud and shrill that I have to cover my ears.
**********
Erid's first ever parent teacher night does not quite go according to plan.

The Greatest Act of Optimism by Acewithapaintbrush

Summary
The Eridian thrills a high sound that doesn’t get picked up by the translator which means that it has no clear meaning. Like when a human gasps or sucks in a deep breath. It actually sounds a little like that. When they notice that I’m staring straight at them they scramble back into their hiding spot and hold very still.
A child, I realize with a start.
That’s a child!
“Hey,” I call and the kid squeaks again. I was about to get to my feet but abort the movement and crawl closer on my hands and knees until I'm inches away from the xenonite wall. I wait and it takes me much too long to realize that they don’t have to peek around the corner to see if I’m still there.
“Hey there,” I try again, my voice low and calm. It’s my teacher voice, the one I use for shy and scared students.
Used.
The fact that I haven’t had to use it for years and it still comes to me automatically almost knocks the air out of my lungs but this is not about me, it’s about making sure the little pebble doesn’t die of fright from the scary alien. “Hi, I’m Grace. It’s alright, you don’t have to be scared.”

Holy shit Grace! The human version of you is a homewrecker?! by Anonymous

Summary
"Why? What about you and the other version of me? I guess you guys are close buddies too, huh?" I smiled over the rim of my mug.
Ryland smiled. Or at least, I think he tried to. The expression twitched halfway through and he made a wincing face that disappeared as fast as he made it.
"We are," he said after a pause. "Close friends."
His eye twitched.
Uh oh.
watdatmean?
If I still had access to Twitter, I'd be posting a tweet right now that just said: #watdatmean with no absolute context or whatever.
Because Ryland suddenly sounded emotionally constipated, like he was hiding a massive and pointy shit inside his ass and desperately hoping nobody would notice. Which immediately made me notice.

Summary
Adrian’s below us. A beautiful swirl of greens. With a view like that, I can only stay a little mad at it with the little “almost killed us” fiasco. Unfamiliar constellations and the arm of the Milky Way fill the rest of my view. I start panning my view closer to Tau Ceti when I spot it.
It’s another Hail Mary.

golden hour, golden touch by girlingreen97

Summary
After Angel makes a seperate contract with a devil to return the time he stole from him at the fight with Reze, time freezes for the pair for exactly two months, without the normal consequences of touch and time. Maybe he did it to return the favor. Or maybe he did it because Aki was the first to ever touch him.
"Gently, palms turned upwards as if in worship, and slower than he’d ever moved in his life, Aki reached his hands out and, easing him into it ever so softly, brushed his fingers against the bottom of his jaw.
True to his word, Angel fell apart.
And, even truer, Aki was right there alongside him."

Summary
“I’m Midoriya Izuku, but you can call me Izuku, and I’m six years old!” The boy exclaims, shoving his tiny hand into Shouto’s personal space with a wide grin.
Shouto almost doesn't move, but something in those eyes forces him to. He takes the offered hand slowly, shaking it like he’s seen his father do to the other heroes.
“Todoroki Shouto,” is all he says back. His voice is small.
Midoriya Izuku shakes his hand too firmly, too bouncily. Their hands bob up and down between them for a few moments too long.
Shouto thinks it’s fitting. Everything about this boy is… too much.
-----
Shouto meets Izuku at the Pro Hero Ranking Ceremony when is he is six years old.
It quickly becomes his favorite day of the year.

Summary
Midoriya Izuku is a best selling author under the anonymous pen name Deku, famous for an epic young adult superhero adventure series. After the conclusion of the series that launched him to fame, his next step, and subsequently his next book, is taking his career in a new direction.
Todoroki Shouto feels a strange sort of connection to his favorite author. Deku’s characters got him through the toughest time in his life, so Shouto is willing to read whatever new books he releases.
Even if the love interest of this new romance novel is a boy with heterochromatic eyes, half-and-half hair, and a nasty facial scar.
It’s got to be a coincidence.
…Right?

Summary
“Mm… sounds fake,” Denji says, absently picking at an old scab on his nose, “Like a movie or s’umthin’.”
“It’s not," Aki, growls, "My life isn’t ‘Terminator,’ moron.”
“What’s ‘Terminator’?”
After a brief pause, Aki heaves a laboured sigh, smoke billowing from his nostrils like the dragon devil they just killed. He points his cigarette at the gaping, slimy mouth of the deceased creature.
“Just shut up and get inside before the yakuza come back.”OR
Aki dies and wakes up about a year before the main timeline began - with all his memories (mostly) intact.
In an attempt to alter their fates, he secretly seeks out his former roommates before Makima becomes aware of their existence.
The changes this brings are a bit more than he bargained for.Bookmarked by ForgetfulMachine
