you weren't there that day for the Naming of Things by callmearcturus

Summary
"Rocky did not understand human names and titles when we met. Eridian names longer, give information on Eridian's home, associations, skills." For the first time in ages, he positioned two of his arms together, forming the design that Grace thought of like a family crest, a single design bisected.
"You should teach me to read those before we get to Erid, so I can be polite." As Grace considered the linework, already picking up on some vague ideas from the shapes in Rocky's carapace, something else occurred to him. "So… I picked 'Rocky' because your outer shell looks like stone."
"And for inspirational story of athlete who defeats human system of poverty to become great champion. Eye of the tiger."
"Retroactively, yeah." Grace bent at the hips, getting to Rocky's 'eye' level. "So what'd you name me?"

Summary
If asked what was the first work of Trent Crimm's he'd read, Theodore Lasso would have incorrectly answered An Aquarian Guide to Atlantis, IL.
Ted Lasso gets the opportunity of a lifetime when he's called to fill in for another director on a miniseries produced by Rebecca Welton. To their mutual surprise, Ted and Rebecca discover they're artistic soulmates, and work together to carve out a place in the film/television industry for themselves: Greyhound Productions.
Just as he's settled into his new life in London, Ted catches wind of a rumor that infamously reclusive novelist Trent Crimm may be auctioning the adaptation rights to one of his books after years of stubborn resistance. Ted (a long-time admirer of Crimm's weird, ergodic stories) cannot abide the thought of someone else directing a film adaptation. But Greyhound Productions doesn't have the money to bid against the big studios.
So, his mission is clear: Ted needs to find Trent Crimm and appeal to him directly.
Shame the man doesn't want to be found.

Summary
"We'll figure it out," Benji'd told him quietly when they parted, thumb swiping across his eyes. "That's how it works, we look at what we have and we figure out the possibility space."
Slight AU of TFR. The improvised emergency surgery and delay in medical care have consequences for Benji in the aftermath of the Vault. Forced to navigate a lasting change to his mobility, Benji tries to carve out a place for himself in the world after the Entity.
Ethan is there to help. For the most part. He's trying to help.

Summary
Benji has a problem.
Well, no. He used to have a problem. But it's well in hand now and he's got the EMT certification to back that up (under a false name, but still). So everything's fine. Really.
Until some bloody Alexa with a nuclear sticker on the top asks exactly the wrong questions, and suddenly all of Benji's meticulous, private plans are dragged out into the light.
Turns out, according to Ethan, Benji does have a problem.
And Ethan Hunt has never met a problem he hasn't thrown himself headfirst into solving.

what does your heart say? (would you listen anyway?) by oynonrings

Summary
"Yeah. I've been teaching the kid about the Kin traditional medicine, keeping him out of trouble the best I can. Though you'd probably say I'm indoctrinating him with backwater lies or some bullshit like that," Artemy spat.
Daniil contemplated for a second more. "I think we've been tricked."
Artemy chuckled, shaking his head in disbelief. "Go on."
"Sticky is my apprentice, Burakh," Daniil revealed at last. "I have been teaching him pharmacology and medicine—or I've been trying to. Unless he has an evil twin like the Changeling, he's been two-timing us."
—
Sticky doesn't get why his mentors Daniil and Artemy are at each other's throats all the time. He takes matters into his own hands.

Summary
Jackson almost fucked it all up before it even really started. For the rest of his life, the memory was like the feeling of a car whizzing past him in the crosswalk, a bullet passing just overhead. Like his life had very nearly stopped, in an instant.
March was the one who made it weird. But somehow Healy was still the asshole.

You can break my arm, or suck my dick, those are my choices, huh?
There's some serious siken "you said I could have anything I wanted, but I just couldn't say it out loud" vibes here.

Summary
“Grace can feel song, question?” Rocky asked, slower than usual. The cooing had lulled him, too.
“I… Maybe? Yeah,” Grace whispered, and Rocky had to focus to understand the slurring.
“Humans can feel sound, question?”
Grace huffed a small laugh. “Sometimes, yeah. For example, when the sound is… very low and loud, we can feel it in our chests.”
“Song is neither low nor loud.” That would have an entirely different effect.
“I know. I can still feel it, I think. It’s strange.”
“Good strange, question?”
“Good strange, yeah.”
Grace could feel sound. Grace could feel Rocky’s songs.
Hmm.
Rocky discovers nature's laws aren't as inflexible as they'd thought. He puts this to good use.

Fairly elaborate bonding/mating songs are a staple of eridian culture. Leads to body control and mental connection.
