Summary
“Hey, I thought I might see you before the big launch,” you call out as they approach you. “Nerves getting the better of you?”
They don't reply, just... look at you for a while. They slowly scan over your clothes, your hands, your face, lingering at your scarred eye.
You arch a brow at them. “Need something, hatchling?”
Eventually, they settle within themself, square their shoulders, and look at you. “Think you can give me a hand with something for a minute?”
or - a series of goodbyes that didn't stick.

Summary
After a near-fatal accident leaves DogDay with shattered memories and very limited mobility, life for the smiling critters becomes a puzzled mess of emotions and conflicting feelings.
DogDay needs to relearn how to walk, while also trying to piece back the fragments of his lost memory, and struggle to understand why everyone acts so strange... and why CatNap suddenly seems so keen on keeping his distance, as if sheltering him from some hidden truth.
But CatNap was never good at keeping secrets, and there’s something unspoken between them that refuses to stay buried.
Even when memories and feelings begin to resurface, healing comes slowly, but things never remain lost for too long.Bookmarked by ExemplarEphemeral

Summary
“What do you need, Nim?” you say.
“I don’t know, I don’t know,” they say, shaking their head hard enough that tears fling from their chin. “I need— I need more, Gabbro.”
You wrap your arms around their shaking frame, but it only lasts a moment before they squirm and push away from you. “No, no, that’s not it. I’m sorry, I don’t know, I’m trying to think of what…”
“That’s the problem,” you say softly, pulling back but keeping your hands on them. “Don’t try to think. Just feel, Nim. What do you need?”
