    The concept of Jax being an AI is very interesting! It’s not my favorite idea but I still really like the story itself. Reread it when not high.

    Summary

    Ragatha can’t put her finger on it, but dinner tonight seems…off.

    It’s not the food. The food is the same it always has been, ever since her arrival years ago. It’s something else, something in the atmosphere. She glances down the left side of the table first—Gangle sits at the farthest end, doodling in her notebook, and Pomni is next to her, listening to Kinger beside her as he rambles on about something or another. On the other far end of the table, Zooble adds in the occasional input but is mostly quiet. And beside Ragatha, on her right, Jax is—

    Oh. That’s it. Jax. He hasn’t said a word all dinner.

    In which Jax catches a virus, and a certain rag doll takes care of him.

    Summary

    But, then came that expression that Tom unfortunately knew too well; that subtle, razor-sharp smirk that could cut class.

    “Didn’t figure you for the brooding type, Thomas.”

    The use of his full name was deliberate. A small provocation wrapped in silk. Tom’s name sounded different in Tord’s accent.

    Tord didn’t wait for permission. Didn’t wait for an invitation. He never did. Not in all the years that Tom had known him. He stepped out from the dim hallway, and into the living room’s amber glow, moving with that particular brand of confidence that existed somewhere between arrogance and simple certainty. It wasn’t this aggressive swagger. More like, fluid grace, like someone who had already proven everything they needed to prove.

    He walked slowly. Deliberately. Like someone testing the temperature of water they were about to dive into. His drink swayed loosely in one hand, clearly unimportant, a prop that served no purpose beyond giving his fingers something to do. What mattered was the way his attention focused on Tom like a laser, unwavering and intent.

    -

    After a party, Tom and Tord's feelings for each other come to a head.

    A perfect, 10/10 TomTord balance. They captured them so beautifully. Ought to read it again soon to absorb more of it's stellar composition.

    Summary

    Summary

    Steve is struggling with nightmares post-Vecna. He needs someone to talk to, but he gets too in his head about not wanted to worry anyone. He knows that everyone else is going through their own shit, and it doesn't feel fair to burden anyone with his own anxiety issues. On a walk to clear his head after a bad dream, he runs into none other than Eddie Munson. Sure, the two of them had definitely gotten closer while they were saving the world, but something about this run-in with Eddie seems different. It makes Steve feel things he hadn't felt since Nancy. After saving the world, you would think Steve would be able to handle anything. But his sexuality crisis and newfound feelings for Eddie is something way more confusing and daunting than the Upside Down had ever been.
