    Summary

    Deep in the belly of a long-abandoned Halonic temple, Thancred braces himself for the inevitability of torture.

    It would be easier to stomach if he was the only one under threat.

    Sometimes you want to read about two people having a bad time together. This absolutely scratches that itch. A really compelling exploration of trauma.

    Summary

    You can just nod or shake your head, dear.

    Riza chose not to, because she resented being asked stupid questions with obvious answers. She resented the sickly-sweet schoolteacher for caring when her papa hadn't, and she resented her papa for being the only one who seemed to understand her. For sharing her single-minded focus, and her bluntness, and her vague aura of something off.

    If only she weren't so much like her papa.

    If only someone could do both—understand her, and care.

    Summary

    Sasha’s humanity chains her to something weak in herself, while her inhuman mind hungers for more.

    Luci wants to set her free, but might break her in the process.

    Sasha is a gene-edited superhuman under the thumb of Harrison Armory, the biggest corpo-state in explored space.

    Luci is a shackled fragment of an otherworldly being who is forced to fight humanity's battles; unhindered by concepts like empathy or love.

    Both of them want one thing more than anything else. Freedom.

    Summary

    This doesn’t bode well, you think. You’ve deliberately avoided all manner of hunches and fedoras in your career, but you know when a bad day is ahead of you.

    The woman beside you must sense it as well because she keeps sending you friendly, vaguely apologetic smiles. As if she’s somehow to blame for the indifference of the world to your individual affairs. Or RCM affairs. Or anyone’s.

    Summary

    After the ceiling of his apartment caves in, Martyn has to move in temporarily with his patron/lover Dollmaker, entwining their lives even further. Sharing living quarters with a voidsent (who doesn't sleep) while working two jobs, hunting for an apartment that allows Mamool Ja, and having that weird goldsmith guy following him around is stressful enough for our poor Great Azuro.

    Unfortunately, it's about to get worse.

    A conversation about homosexuals takes an unexpected turn when Kissinger alludes to Nixon's personal familiarity with them.

    [The events of this story are 100% accurate and true, as recounted to me in a Zoom call by the late Henry A. Kissinger before he died.]

    Summary

    Set during Endwalker, pre-Tower of Babil, spoilers through Garlemald. Sadu/Cirina established relationship.

    Eorzeans were not Steppe people. They had not the sense. They followed different customs, strutting about as if they followed a standard of nobility above all others, innocent of the same acts they accused their enemies of. But Sadu watched regardless, holding her tongue as she observed their speeches, and marked well the grain of the khagan's allies.

    So it was Broken Glass now, in the Eorzean way, and Sadu kept her thoughts to herself.

    And to one other.

    Set pre-Shadowbringers, spoilers, Sadu/Cirina slowburn.

    "So you are serious, then. This decree from your gods sends you not once, but twice to another's camp, and still you obey." Tapping her nails against the rim of her cup, Sadu deliberated over which nuances might be best to strike at first. "Speak again of these terms which have bound you."

    "Six gifts in full," Cirina replied.

    After six tense months apart, Shepard and Garrus reconvene in the captain's quarters.

    “Bring up that bottle of the good stuff with you,” she had told him, and yet it ended up just like their first night together before the Omega-4 Relay: unopened and abandoned on Shepard’s desk.

    Summary

    The bathroom was utilitarian, in that it had space for a grimy bathtub in the corner, a mirror on the wall, and not much else. It was Silco who'd requested a bathtub, when they'd first settled in, for "the luxury." At the time, they'd found it funny in a grim way, to think that fitting a filthy tub in a tiny room could ever qualify as luxurious. In Zaun, it was all the luxury they could get.

    Summary

    Harry finds himself in the liminal space between Martinaise and actually having to be Harry Du Bois again. He needs to return to his apartment, and his job, and his life, but the prospect is terrifying; everything that was once him is everything he can't allow himself to be ever again. Kim helps him make the transition, and Harry pines wildly over him. They eat food and talk about the homo-sexual underground. Harry tries not to cry a lot.

    "I love you," Harry says on June 25, 51, halfway through a game of cribbage. Cuno has done nothing more notable than tell a joke that made Harry laugh.

    Cuno doesn't know what to say. Nobody loves Cuno. Loving Cuno should probably be an interisolary crime. "Gross," he says.

    An exploration of those Cuno has lost, those he's gained, and those he can't let go.

    “I never considered it waiting around,” Miles says. “I never expected it to become anything more. You were giving me all that you were capable of, and—maybe it wasn’t exactly in the form I hoped for, but it was more than enough.”

    “Miles,” says Phoenix, giddy. “That’s fucked up.”

    One thing she had learned was that Maya liked to kiss, and she liked to kiss Franziska a lot. Maya kissed her now, and Franziska couldn’t help but lean into it, to breathe her in, and think about what something like this might mean if they were both different people.
