Summary
they say heaven knows the road is slow/lord, how the hell would heaven know/just where am i supposed to go from here/how much longer now before i'm in the clear?
“I’m glad you love your work,” Dr. Song says. “Finding purpose in what you do is a wonderful thing.”
“That’s me, I’m very purposeful,” Rumi agrees. “Very motivated, very dedicated. That’s my whole thing.”
“Your whole thing?” Dr. Song asks. “Do you struggle with work-life balance?”
“Work and life are basically the same thing, anyway. I’m an artist.”
Dr. Song hums contemplatively. “It is always nice, if you hit burnout, to have other avenues to turn to so it does not feel like the end of the world.”
Rumi picks at one of her bandages, begins to unwind it, and then re-winds it. “Funny you should mention the end of the world…”
Rumi goes to therapy. That's the fic. Title from In The Clear by Billy Strings, which is not a song she would listen to, but is one I enjoy.

Summary
“Be rul’d, you shall not go.”
“My fate cries out!” And as the ghost beckons once more, Aaron headbutts Seth in the chin, making him bite his tongue. Metallic blood is drawn to his spit immediately, and instinctively he brings his hands to his mouth. In that instant, Aaron is gone, jumping over the castle ramparts and scaling the cragged stones to the forest floor. He waxes desperate with imagination.
Whose fantasies are these now, Seth asks himself.
Something is rotten in the state of Denmark.

Summary
Rin wakes up gasping for air. His hands fly to his neck where he feels soft pressure, the cool bite of silk pulling him down, cinching tight at the back of his neck. He strains. He fights. But he cannot breathe, and darkness rings in his ears, stiffens his throat, threatens to overtake the sweet dark of the night.
He cannot even pray.

I'm blaming the TBOS mutuals for egging me on to write this one. It's all their fault. If you're not familiar with narines, uh, probably keep scrolling. This is not what I'd call an introductory text.

Summary
Neil can hardly make sense of what Dan is saying. “They're concerned now? We have bigger problems. Like--”
“Like winning. I know. I need to win as much as anyone, so don’t come to me with that. As your captain, I’m telling you to be honest with Admin and let the hazing investigation go smoothly. As a Fox-- we’ve never trusted authority, have we?” Dan pauses meaningfully. “In the meantime, I’ve made arrangements with Captain Fish of the men’s and Captain Bugs of the women’s rugby clubs. They’ve agreed to let us practice tomorrow, two-hand-touch, I know, we can’t play full contact until we’ve been cleared. I know it isn’t what we want to be doing, and I can’t make you go, but we’ll make the best of it."

Or, the Foxes get investigated for hazing and play rugby. No actual hazing occurs within the fic, just references to the canonical incident at Eden's.

Summary
“I’ll interrogate you,” Pritchard says. Halt thinks he doesn’t mean it.
“I’ll kill myself before you can get any answers,” Halt counters. Pritchard’s face falls. Halt hastily adds “A jest. I jest. I meant only— like a spy. I can get you answers.”
“Go on,” Pritchard says.
Halt opens his mouth and absolutely nothing comes out.
Or, I force Halt to talk about his feelings and he ends up with a very complicated perspective on kingship.
