Summary
Are we living a life that is safe from harm? Of course not. We never are. But that is not the right question. The question is: are we living a life that is worth the harm?
Kaneki Ken loves medicine.
He loves his father's old textbooks. He loves the colorful anatomy diagrams. He loves the rhythm of scientific articles, the shape of words like 'fossa' and 'muscular dystrophy'. The research projects/work shifts/studying/crying don't leave time for Kafka, but those books were for creepy little orphans, anyway. Which he isn't anymore, because he's not a kid anymore, because soon, he'll never be that kid again.
The world is hurt or be hurt. It is better to be hurt than to hurt others. But to be a doctor is to heal hurts without hurting yourself. To be a doctor is to be free.
Kaneki Ken is growing up. Kaneki Ken is moving on. Kaneki Ken will become a doctor or die trying, because hope is a thing with teeth and he'd bite through his tongue before going hungry ever again. And god help anyone who gets in his way.
aka: an au in which kaneki ken is premed instead of a lit major, with mixed but (ultimately) uplifting results
cw: suicidal ideation.

Summary
“Joy does not know Grace,” Rocky grumbles. “Joy thinks Grace is ♩♭ ♬ ♫ ♩! I know Grace— mean is good for Grace.”
I'm about to argue back, but I'm distracted by Joy's annoyed whistle. “I do not think that!”
“Wait, what?” I look between them. “Hey, new word. What does Joy think I am?” I address this to Rocky, who is far more likely to tell me if I've just been insulted.
“Ignore,” Joy says. “Rocky is inaccurate.”

Summary
Rocky doesn't know how to feel about birthdays. He knows less what constitutes "good" gift-giving on Earth, or at what point structure becomes art.
But Grace saved his life. It's only fair he gets a little life back.

Summary
"Aw, don't give me bad news." Grace tipped his head back, smiling idly. "Isn't life in prison enough for one man? What's next, they're taking away my birthday?"
Carl waited, sitting still with his hands folded on the table, patient as Grace's wandering gaze and tapping knee stayed erratic. When their eyes met again, Grace's expression fell.
"What?" Grace said, with more dread.
