Summary
As far as they have been separated by force, as different as they have always been by nature and more by growth, in some things, the gap between their hearts is easily bridged.

There is absolutely nothing Sho would not do, faced with Kei weak and hurt and perhaps even slipping away from him. And there is nothing Kei can do to change him.

Summary
When Sam came home, there was a feather in Pippin’s cap, a horn on Merry’s hip. All Sam had was a box of dirt with one large, smooth seed tucked inside. Even in Mordor, Sam had only been fighting for the Shire. He spent the rest of his life helping things grow.
Let’s talk about Sam crying over rabbit stew, because a brace of coneys had been a spot of luck, once; because even then, even when he still had his pots and his pans, when Frodo had not yet snarled at him and told him to go– Mr. Frodo had still been gone too far by then to ever come back again.
Rosie, who did not cry easy, chopped onions so he would not be the only one with wet cheeks to scrub off. She asked him about herbs and spices, about stirring and cooking times, about what loaf would go best with it all. Sam said, “Rosemary, tarragon.” Part of him still rang against the greening metal of a copper pot dropped down a chasm and left somewhere on the edges of Mordor, but she saw him breathe deep and reach for thyme.

Bookmarker's Notes
Such a sense of depth to Rosie and also everything she's seen - whether herself, surviving the Scouring of the Shire (and what a close and sharp feel of the horrors there, given shape by being seen through a smaller lens) or by proxy by what she sees in Sam, in Frodo, in what they say and what they don't.

Beautiful (pair of) missing scenes; Aidan seeing the friend Brendan put in his illuminations, and after Brendan has returned to Kells and to an old friend, showing Aisling her own self in a new form.

Bookmarker's Notes
Starting in the gap between seasons one and two - Spike comes to the Hellmouth, drunk and despairing over Dru, and Xander stumbles across him and . . . hauls him inside so he doesn't immolate at sun-up. It kicks off a series of developments between them, from friends to lovers (with a few fairly small crises on Xander's part), even if they are kept secret for the most part . . . for a long time.
Cordy catches Xander out and befriends him (in her own way) before anyone else finds out, to Spike's amusement. Eventually secrets do come out . . . and Xander (panicking over a missing Spike, among other things) very unwisely accepts a gift from his dead Sire . . . and gets to learn how to deal with the bickering, gossiping stars. . .

Lio can't remember a time when his life wasn't complicated.
Maybe that's why he doesn't expect Galo.

Picks up immediately post-canon; lovely Lio perspective and excellent Galo everything, ridiculous pair.

Summary
There is an unfamiliar heat blooming where Lio's heart is. It comes and goes as it pleases. This is a different kind of burning.
He looks away, to anything. It's a building, one of the battle's survivors. Its windows cast the sunlight to diamonds. But they are reflections; none of that light, dazzling while never blinding, is created by the glass. It is taking something extant for its own. Bettering it.

Bookmarker's Notes
Post-canon cleanup, Lio is introspective and- and- and Galo is Galo and also, somehow, stunningly dumber than Lio even thought. (Why does this do it for him? But . . . it really does. He really does.)
