Summary
"Steel in your side for so long was a weird feeling, Stede decided.
It had actually been around hour six that he came to the conclusion, if anyone was keeping track. It had been around hour three, when he heard the snores from the other side of the deck, that he realized he should perhaps try to be friends with the steel in his side.
Obviously, they were not friends."A missing scene from Season 1, Episode 6. Stede's been stabbed and stuck to a pole all night. He's gonna need some help when everyone wakes up for the day.

Summary
"I love you," Harry says on June 25, 51, halfway through a game of cribbage. Cuno has done nothing more notable than tell a joke that made Harry laugh.
Cuno doesn't know what to say. Nobody loves Cuno. Loving Cuno should probably be an interisolary crime. "Gross," he says.
An exploration of those Cuno has lost, those he's gained, and those he can't let go.

Summary
Kim Kitsuragi went to solve a murder in a long-abandoned corner of town. He found much more than he expected: a disaster, and a miracle. A new partner, and a fresh start.
He has, by most sensible measures, objectively terrible taste in men.
Harry Du Bois woke up with no memories, helped solve a murder, got shot a little bit, had a sexual epiphany, and fell head-over-heels in love. He thinks he might have been a bad person, before. He's trying to be a good person now.
He's also exactly Kim's type.

Summary
“The snow melts in Jamrock,” Harry says solemnly. The snow melts over the motorway that loops above the ghetto, and below its concrete columns, there is a sea of four-story buildings as far as the rain can fall.
“How do you do that, detective?” Kim asks.
“You mean the whole, feeling the city thing? I have voices in my head that tell me stuff."

Summary
They opened this can of worms (sleeping with a thousand-year-old space alien), now they have to lie in it (the uncertainty of whether or not it's even reasonable to think they could have had a hand in the birth of a certain litter of tiny bat creatures shortly after, and if it’s weird to want to be involved).
Or, if you assist a giant bat in its quest for immortality, it might decide to keep you.

so hypochondriac fancies represent
ships, armies, battles in the firmament;
till steady eyes the exhalations solve,
and all to its first matter, cloud, resolve.so habitation come, where it is blest
rage effluvia, the joiner’s work distressed
in shaking hands, steeped from the bone
wherein a burying ground, a hospice, a home.( the beginning. )

Summary
Midoriya Izuku has always been written off as weird. As if it's not bad enough to be the quirkless weakling, he has to be the weird quirkless weakling on top of it.
But truthfully, the "weird" part is the only part that's accurate. He's determined not to be a weakling, and in spite of what it says on paper, he's not actually quirkless. Even before meeting All-Might and taking on the power of One For All, Izuku isn't quirkless.
Not that anyone would believe it if he told them.
(This story now has a TV Tropes page!)

Summary
"The sound of a tape recorder running is as easy as a heartbeat nowadays, so familiar that it doesn’t even register as worthy of noticing, even when it very much should not be happening. Everyone else seems to notice, which is good, because it means that when Jon is around people, it’s easier to catch them. Everyone also seems to think Jon’s doing it on purpose somehow, which is. Less good.
The real problem is that he doesn’t really spend that much time around people these days."Series

Summary
“You know what, Jon?" Martin says boldly, rolling up the sleeves on his jumper, “I bet that I can make you a cup of coffee that you won’t hate. I’ll make you a cup so good that you’ll want to stop drinking tea.”
And the way Jon says “you’re on," the curious look on his face that Martin can't quite parse -- well, it makes Martin go warm all over.
“Okay," he snaps out of his gaze and he walks while he talks, "let’s get back to work. Tim, here are two cases for you, file them away for me if you would? Sasha, keep up the good work. And Martin,” Jon pauses.
“Yes, Jon?”
“Looking forward to tomorrow’s coffee."
Martin insists that coffee isn't all that bad and, respectfully, Jon disagrees.

Summary
He fell into a deep bow, smiling the whole while. “I’m the ringmaster, of course.”
“Is that skin— Is it yours?” Old wood groaned as the Archivist shifted his weight. “Originally.”
“It is!” the ringmaster said as he swooped back upright. “Nikola decided I wore it well, so she let me keep it. Why do you ask?”
The Archivist gave him another once-over. “You just… you look familiar. Like someone I know.”
On relearning, reconnecting, and redefining.

Summary
“Well that was rude.” Tim’s voice cut through the silence of the Archive.
“Hmm?” Jon looked over from the shelf he was organizing. “What was rude?”
“You. You were rude. Completely ignoring that guy like that.”
“What guy?”
“Are you serious?” Tim asked incredulously. “The tatted up goth that was just talking to you.”
