Summary
Jim smiles the appropriate amount - enough warmth to seem friendly, enough muted sorrow to seem appropriate for the knowledge of why the party is here - and tries not to feel flayed alive.
As the fleet flagship, the Enterprise is the natural choice to deliver this delegation to Tarsus IV: the staff of the museum Starfleet has funded, five admirals to attend the opening, and an entire fleet of holo-technicians to scan every inch of the museum and its environs to create simulations for the rest of the universe.
Jim’s fought and scraped and demanded his place aboard Enterprise despite his weak heart and shit liver and kidneys, his chronic dry eyes and limp that becomes too obvious when he’s tired. He’s learned other styles of self-defense to compensate for his weakened bones, excelled in enough courses to make up for the disabilities that tried to keep him from the captain's chair, earned it, and yet if he could be a captain of some freighter right now, he’d prefer that.

Summary
After the scene, Levi needs tending.
-
"Still too hot?" Erwin whispered against Levi's ear, stirring the fall of dark hair with his breath.
Levi's lids flickered, lashes tickling the skin of Erwin's neck. He licked his kiss-swollen lips. "Mm." Another breath. His brows furrowed. "No. Cold." Goosebumps had sprung up on his shoulders and arms as the heat of their previous activities dissipated, and Erwin - for all that Levi declared him a living furnace - wasn't usually enough to keep Levi warm through the endorphin crash.

Summary
Erwin can't help but smile. "Let me be very specific, Captain." At his title, Levi shudders, pink heat springing across his nose. "What I'd like to do is untie that cravat of yours, unbutton your shirt, and get my hands on your beautiful chest."
Levi absorbs this with a silence that prickles at Erwin's skin the longer it goes on. Before Erwin can say something - ask if he's regretting this, suggest they close the evening there - Levi looks him full in the face and says, flat, the cloud of desire fading from his eyes,
"Why?"

Summary
Mo Ran backs through Chu Wanning's classroom door with his hands laden with slices of cheap pizza, courtesy of the PTA, then turns around to find-
Well, the aftermath of parent-teacher night.
Chu Wanning has planted his face on his desk - hastily straightened up in an attempt to seem more professional - while one of his 3D printers whirs behind him, slowly extruding something that, if Mo Ran squints, appears to be a sword.
Serious consideration of disembowelment is Chu Wanning's usual response to parent-teacher night, so that's normal.

Summary
"You don't have to suffer this way," Shizun said, voice low and rough, practically a caress over Chu Wanning's raw nerves. "There are-" he hesitated, uncharacteristic, attention flicking to where Chu Wanning's hands tangled white-knuckled in his bonds, "-workers that can help with your affliction." He spoke with long experience, for Chu Wanning had heard the stories of what a carouser his shizun had been in his youth, how he'd left men and women in the brothels singing his praises before he'd taken on Chu Wanning as his disciple and ceased.
Later, Chu Wanning would blame the poison for what he did.
