    Summary

    That is how it starts. 

    My pebbles are all good kids and a tight knit group. There are rarely fights or tensions and I can honestly say that they are all friends.

    But Sam, showing all of them up with a gift that made Teacher Grace smile softly with tears in his eyes? 

    That means war.

    **************

    A lucky find leads to lots of gifts for Teacher Grace from his precious pebbles

    Summary

    At some point in your childhood, your parents put you down, and never picked you up again.

    Unless you’re Superman, of course.

    (Instead of returning to the Fortress of Solitude to get sun-blasted back to health, Clark just goes home.)

    Summary

    “And you used to be better at diversions. What was I saying?” His impatient question was nearly a demand in the stilled darkness, yet it still said nothing in return.

    He could tell Minhkhoa wasn’t suddenly asleep but their shared silence suddenly felt different. It wasn’t merely a peaceful lack of noise, it was a deprivation of an entire sense—making the pulse in Bruce's ears faster and a feeling of unease settled into his bones as the seconds dragged themselves into unseen hours—which could very easily just be slow minutes instead. Even the city outside seemed to cease to exist as they were suspended in this perpetual, warped moment of time until, finally, Minhkhoa spoke again.

    “Sorry.”

    Summary

    Grace was never sure what to think about Stratt.

    Even after living on Erid for a couple of years, where he was surrounded by wonderful students, new friends, a beautiful ocean that soothed him to sleep, and plenty of time to self reflect… he still hadn’t come to a conclusion.

    He knew that, for a couple of years in space, he hated her.

    He knew that, for the years he had known her on Earth, he loved her.

    or

    Grace reflects on his relationship with Stratt during his mission

    Bookmarker's Notes

    this was such a beautiful exploration and analysis on their relationship. oh my god

    “ Damage had been done and even though he didn’t hold a grudge, he simply didn’t love her like that anymore.

     

    The best Grace could come up with is that he understood her. Respected her. After all, he had seen sides of her that he was sure no one else had the opportunity to. ”

     

    oh my god
