Amber finds Mark in a bad way, and offers what comfort she can.
Or
Something nice and whumpy to make up for the glaring lack in ep. 10. (No spoilers for the ep though!)

It doesn't want to harm us, she thinks, the plastic scalpel handle warm and sticky with sweat in her shaking fingers.

Summary
Someone is screaming.
The sound is coming from near my head, and it's cutting through me like a mining drill, jagged and sharp and hurtful. It rises and falls in peaks, louder, quieter when the oxygen starts to run out. Sobbing, broken sounds, a body in terrible distress.
Or SecUnit and Gurathin share a moment. Episode tag for episode nine, All Systems Red.

Summary
She can't help herself.
There's packs of hygiene wipes- pleasantly scented in mild citrus- scattered throughout the habitat and hopper and she finds one, rolling the slick metal canister between her palms as she crosses back to the seating-cum-bunk where their SecUnit is lying.

Summary
A man has his limits of tolerance, and Eliot, Parker, and Hardison are trying Nate this morning. Things get a bit unhinged. (Or: There's no other way to say this: this fic contains a many thousands of words long Fully Choreographed Musical Number about Eliot being an unrepentant sub, and somehow this is also a character(s) study with deep feelings thereby taking the crack treated seriously tag to a whole new level of wtf-ery.)

Summary
"Oh, man- you don't get it, do you? Eliot's not like other fighters. He doesn't play games. He fights to survive, that's his training! It takes all his control not to kill somebody. You've just made him more dangerous. You've taken the safety off the gun!"
After the Tap-Out Job, Nate reflects on how things went horribly, terribly wrong, and how Eliot is always a little too eager to take a beating when his team needs him to

Summary
When a new shop moves in next door to the bar, Parker and Breanna’s taste for sweets may be the first reason why they become friends with her, but the thief soon realises there’s something else their chocolate-making neighbour could be to at least one member of the team. A member of the team who has seemed a little... off, since a certain someone she wasn’t allowed to hang off a roof...
(Yep I did a Redemption era fic...I’d apologise, except I kind of enjoyed this one even if it got away from me. It was supposed to be a one shot. Whoops.)
