the way somebody comes back by Inkspinner

Summary
This was routine, in a lot of ways; they’d been here so many times together, so many different places. It made it feel a little less like the world had already ended, like the planet was cracked apart outside the window.
It was kinda a stupid question at this point, but Phil asked anyway. “You okay?”
May’s answering snort was soft, a little less sardonic than it might have been. After a long second, she nodded. “Been better, but.”
“It’s okay to not be, you know.”
She shook her head. “Pot, kettle.”
Phil huffed a slight laugh. May’s gaze flickered over to him, either looking for or seeing something no one else could see. Somewhere along the line, her shoulders had finally fallen into a sloping, exhausted line.
(A story for the moment you realize things are going to be okay. Even if -- in that moment -- you didn't yet know you would be, too.)

Hedge!Jedi AU by DandalfTheWhite
Fandom: Star Wars - All Media Types, Star Wars Legends - All Media Types, Star Wars Legends: Jedi Apprentice Series - Jude Watson & Dave Wolverton, Star Wars Legends: Tales of the Jedi (Comics), Star Wars Prequel Trilogy
27 Jul 2025
Summary
This series explores two intertwined narratives: the adventures of time-traveling Obi-Wan and the reactions from the core, particularly the Jedi. It presents a Jedi-positive perspective but challenges the traditional notion of Jedi training. The series questions the importance of time in training versus the impact of experiences on a Jedi's potency. Drawing on examples from Legends, canon, and games, I posit that the skills of a Jedi could be taught to adults/teenagers in a relatively short time. It’s the mastery of self that would take the most time, and ultimately why the late-modern Republic’s Jedi training started with children.

Summary
Eddie considers downloading Grindr. He’s not gay, he thinks, but curiosity killed the cat after all. It would kill Eddie’s curiosity, that’s for sure, shoot it point-blank and then Eddie can go to work in two days not feeling like he’s been wrung out on a washing line.
He shoves the thought down his throat until it’s stuck in his oesophagus and swallows. He showers, changes into sweatpants and an old shirt from the academy and climbs into bed. He fiddles around on social media, and texts Buck to let him know he’s home and in bed and when Buck doesn’t reply, Eddie decides no, absolutely not, and rolls over and goes to bed.
Eddie walks in on Buck hooking up with a guy from Grindr. He's really normal about it.

Rare Whales, Shining Seas, and the One That Dreams of Them by NunTheWiser
Fandoms: One Piece
04 Jan 2025
Tags
Summary
"Where I'm from."
She started as always.
"There's about a 1% chance you'll see a whale your entire life."
Her eyes sparkled. There was probably a bigger chance here. She'd have to tell Hannah all about it when she got back.
"Land locked the way we are, it was probably even less for people like us."
Joy had never seen the sea before this.
Had never really thought about it.
But this world seemed to run on the sea, seemed to thrive and build and live with it like it was life and death and taxes.
Even she could admit that if left to it long enough she may become a bit addicted to it.
"So whales are incredibly rare. Just about as rare as it is to find someone, something, truly important."
Joy had lived her life in a bubble of knowledge. Scarping together every bit of information she could come across and devouring it. she could write a paper on anything. And hand it in, numbered with 12pt, times new Roman font with a bibliography and feel absolutely no stress.
But knowledge did not equate to action. So when she awoke in a dark forest with her heart beating and head screaming to survive the only thing she could do was try.

kraken soup for the soul by mimooo

Summary
Joonghyuk forces his lips to part and speak. “Kim Dokja,” he rasps, sounding out the shape of his companion’s voice, savouring it one last time. The other leans in closer, to better hear what he has to say. It takes all that’s left of him to grit out,
“I'm dying.”
A gentle, scarred palm presses against his forehead, cooling his sore temples immediately, and Dokja laughs. You fool, Joonghyuk wants to say. This is not a joke.
“Joonghyuk-ah,” Dokja says, mirth and fondness laced between the syllables. “Have you never gotten a fever before?”

Summary
Morgan Rivera is a Ward. Bright, popular, and doing everything right. She had a good life, a good family, and a power she did her best to ignore. But powers don’t stay quiet forever. And some don’t fit neatly into boxes labeled ‘hero’ or ‘villain.’
The more Morgan learns about her abilities and leans into them, the more she becomes something else. Something neither she nor the world is ready to accept. Her body changes. Her mind adapts. Her sense of self slips through her fingers like sand. She wants to do good. She wants to protect people. But what does that mean when you’re not even sure you’re a person anymore?
The Chimera is a slowburn Worm canon divergence about identity, transformation, and the complicated politics of cape life. She was supposed to be a hero. She became something else instead. And she’s still changing.

He should sleep.
The good Lord knows it—Eywa knows it. He needs it.
But every time he closes his eyes, something tears open in his mind.
Tom—dead on concrete, still in that cardboard box, burning in the incinerator seconds later.Venezuela—Davis, Reed, the goddamn comms boy with half his face off.
Tsu’Tey—bleeding out on the grass, that soft breath that stopped, the way the light dimmed in his eyes.
He nearly didn’t come back.
And Jake... Jake nearly didn’t get to be here. To have this.This family.
This peace.
And peace is the scariest part.
Because he’s never trusted it to last.TL;DR—Tsu’Tey had fallen asleep easily, one arm still draped protectively around Neteyam, hand resting on the tiny rise of his son’s chest.
Jake, on the other hand, is wide awake. Again. -

“What are you implying?”
Aventurine smiled like a switchblade. “You like me.”

(Or, during the events of the newly rescheduled Charmony Festival, Dr. Ratio considers the five steps of the heart, and Aventurine picks up the conversation where it left off)
