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!)

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
“I just feel…uncomfortable. Like there’s a rock in my shoe, but —” She gestures vaguely to her entire body. “And even after a shower I don’t feel clean and all I want is to watch this movie with you but I can’t relax and it’s really starting to piss me off.”
When she stops speaking she expects Peter’s face to be contorted with pity, but instead he only looks thoughtful. She registers his hand on the back of her head, thumb stroking.
“I could use another shower,” he says.
Peter helps Olivia return to her body.

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.)
