Summary
Simon was not a kind man. He wasn't a good person. He knew who the kindest person in his mind was, and it wasn't him.
Maybe that was why he resented them. Part of it, at least.
He resented them for being better than him. He resented them for being everything horrible he was too scared to own up to. He resented being a passenger whenever someone else stepped forward, and that whoever was supposed to be Simon had died a long time ago and he'd claimed the name as his own just so he could have one. Most of all, he resented that he was aware of it at all, but never enough to pin anything down.
Just enough to know something was deeply, irrevocably fucking wrong with him. Something Eden's Father had sniffed out when he was young. The C.O.I. had seen it in him, too. Everyone on Jeremiah, the prison station, avoided him- even the other Edenites. They knew what he was. In the end, even the Light had seen what he was. What they all were, no matter how carefully they delegated tasks to be safe from the guilt.
Butcher.
Grace didn't know what he was.
It scared the fuck out of him.

Summary
Grace and Rocky have fallen into a routine during their trip to Erid, which means of course something must go wrong. This particular something is the SM-13, a ship not meant for space holding a human heartbeat within. Once they get its passenger stable, they find out he doesn't speak either of their languages, and he's one wrong move from stabbing Grace at any given time.
Simon also thinks he's probably dead, so there's that. No one is having a great time.

Summary
Eddie has never once enjoyed school. Perhaps, after facing down murderous bats from another dimension and nearly dying but refusing to run, one might assume school seems less daunting in comparison. It would be a reasonable assumption to make, even, that Eddie would find it easy to handle mundane fears when he could think back to the Upside Down and remember what he was capable of.
This was not true. The truth was that all it took was a busy day and a test for him to fall apart.Or; a panic attack fic in which Eddie is simply not built for the school system.

Summary
Alhaitham wasn’t quite sure he’d ever felt a sense of belonging in the world he lived in.
He’d felt at home, maybe. Accepted, loved even, by the people around him. Tighnari had once, very gently, told him that was how he’d felt too. Neurodivergence was a painful thing to have growing up, Tighnari had told him, but it didn’t have to stay that way. It wasn’t always so alienating. Alhaitham didn’t know how to tell Tighnari that it wasn’t the autism that made him out of place. This was not people struggling to communicate with him. This was the land of Teyvat itself rejecting him, somehow. Something soul-deep told him that he would never belong here. Teyvat itself hated him for existing. In the back of his head he knew that something far more vast than him was out there, and would tear him apart given the chance.
He was just lucky it hadn’t noticed him yet.
He was always waiting for it to notice.-----
A fic in which Alhaitham is not human, and goes about the process of figuring that out as if it's some sort of medical condition. Because Alhaitham is nothing if not good at logic, even to a fault.

Summary
Title is a reference to Disembodied Mind.
Scara has lived life under the assumption that everyone else's moods have their own opinions on things, and everyone needs another name sometimes. Layla approaches Scara with a book and a hope that she can help him where she was failed. Scara doesn't want that help. Someone else does. Sethos helps him unravel the tangled mess he never knew was there, and in it he finds himself and more.
Or, alternatively: it's all fun and games until there's more of you! An exploration of how messy self-discovery can be when there's more than one self, written from experience.

Summary
He let out a pleased sigh before he could stifle it, and leaned into that warmth. It felt like that void inside of his chest was slowly, steadily being filled, like the weight was being eased. He felt more than heard Kaveh’s hum, like the architect had been proven right about something Alhaitham was not privy to. At the same time, the hand still cradling the back of his head began to scratch at his scalp, fingers combing through his hair. He groaned appreciatively, and melted even further into Kaveh’s grasp.
At that, Kaveh let out the prettiest little laugh, but Alhaitham was too busy basking in the warmth and comfort to feel embarrassed.
Alhaitham learns what it's like to feel loved.

Summary
Thank fuck. Alhaitham tries to speak, tries to get out something along the lines of Tighnari, I’m having a heart attack, help, but all that comes out is a pathetic whine.
“I know, I know, you’re okay,” Tighnari says, holding his hands palm-up in front of him, voice surprisingly calm considering the fact that Alhaitham’s having a heart attack. “You’re going to be okay. Can you hear me yet?”
Under the stress of a sudden workload he wasn't quite prepared for combined with other things, Alhaitham has his first real panic attack. He doesn't quite handle it well.

Bookmarker's Notes
Alhaitham gets a midnight panic attack. As a treat. Fic so good I forgot that I clicked on it because the title was funny.
