    Summary

    “Buffy, I—I swear. The kid’s safe. We’re gonna protect her. You and me.”

    Faith has come to Sunnydale to help protect the Key from Glory, and maybe—if she’s lucky—to patch things up with Buffy. The wounds they left each other with are still healing, but if anything’s going to speed that process along, it’ll be ninth-grade geometry homework and an impromptu road trip in a stolen Winnebago.

    Written for Heart Attack/High Adrenaline Exchange 2025.

    Summary

    Vi doesn’t mind the waiting. She knows all about waiting. The thing about automatons is that they’ll wait for as long as you want them to – hours, months, years. They won’t get tired, they won’t pass out because their knees lock, they won’t shut down or rust. Not until you tell them to, at least. Not unless they can’t help it.

    She doesn’t mind the exams either, even if the engineers are more rough with her than necessary when conducting them. It’s uncomfortable; the pressure inside her ears always makes her feel like something is going to rupture right before it eases, but even that is less invasive than the shit she remembers. When she remembers it, anyway. If she remembers it.

    --

    In the wake of a hundred year war, an automaton named Vi wakes from deep-state hibernation to find herself on an unfamiliar spacecraft. Humanity's last hope lies within the workings of her brain, but when her memories get disrupted, it's a race against time and her own consciousness to figure out the secrets that lie locked in her past, secrets that have the potential to save them all.

    Summary

    Down a coworker and freshly returned from the mess that was their time in Khura'in, one would think that the remaining lawyers of the Wright Anything Agency might want a break.

    And then along comes a case with a suspicious amount of similarities to a classic novel that a lot of people were required to read in high school, and even more familiar faces.

    Yeah, that break's not happening. Good thing Phoenix was planning to distract himself with work anyway! Though there's something about this case in particular that might just make him regret that.

    Summary

    “I…have known nothing in my life but battle.” The words are stilted, brusque; it is her way. “All my knowledge of…children…is of constant testing, unending bloodshed. I do not know what a healthy creche looks like. I do not know what a healthy githyanki childhood looks like. That knowledge has been stolen from us. I do not—” She grits her teeth. “I dislike embarking on such an important mission with no information. Too much is at stake.”

    Tearing such vulnerability from between her ribs has never come naturally. But watching the still-wet hatchling examine its own toes, watching her lover brush eggshell from its arms, against her will Lae’zel softens. They have been through too much together not to respond such. Back-to-back, as ever, there is surely no challenge so great that they cannot—

    “Well, don’t look at me,” says Shadowheart. “I was raised in a cult, remember?”

    “Well. I should probably get back to class. I’ll see you fifth period?”

    “Yeah. I’ll see you fifth period.” Nat presses her lips together to keep from smiling.

    Lottie doesn’t do a thing to hold back her magnificent smile, and it takes Nat’s breath away. “Bye, Nat.”

    The exchange is stretching out longer than it needs to, Natalie can feel awkwardness seeping into the dingy tile beneath her feet, but she still lets her breath out a moment longer before she speaks. “Bye, Charlotte.”

    Bookmarker's Notes

    ah yes a fic that expertly delivers on heart wrenching angst and also makes me cackle like a little gremlin in the middle of the night

    A+ on the group chats, never seen someone mix them in like that, I really loved it
