    Summary

    Mirage is in pieces. Everything else is over, the battle won, but it doesn't feel like it when Noah only has a seemingly dead pile of silver metal to show for it. But he'll fix him, no matter what it takes, even if he has to ask everyone he knows to help make it happen. Optimus seems to believe he can; so maybe Mirage is more alive than he appears at first glance.

    And, hopefully, he doesn't die in the time it takes to make it happen.

    Summary

    SAVOIR FAIRE [Legendary: Failure] - Oh, you’ve got this in the fucking bag.

    YOU - “Maybe we could fuck about it?” The words slip out of your mouth casually, matter of factly, like you’ve only just suggested that you should take the opportunity to rummage through someone’s mail. You hear them as you speak them, like they somehow managed to completely bypass your brain on the way out of your mouth.

    -

    Kim and Harry are on a stakeout. It gets pretty interesting.

    Summary

    Without the shackles of his software dictating his decisions, Connor had been excited, at first, to have the opportunity to choose for himself what he wanted to do with his life. He hadn't had the time to answer that question honestly, to understand his own preferences and desires enough to know how to answer it, before the reality of legal personhood, as well as all the complications that came along with it, answered it for him.
    "What am I going to do?" had very quickly changed from an abstract question of infinite possibilities to one of genuine panic, one that needed to be answered quickly.

    Connor struggles with questions of desire and purpose after the revolution. (And with his attraction to the faceless, deep-voiced man who restores vintage electronics for a living and makes ASMR videos about the process.)

    Summary

    This is not obsession. It's not.

    Sure, Wendell was what Pete considered an aspiration, a scientific genius, a marvel even— but this level of fixation on him was totally normal.

    The man is missing. They have to find him; he's their only hope.

    So what if the more he learns about Wendell the more he relates to him? The more he becomes him? The more he spends every waking moment thinking about him— trying to solve the mystery?

    It's still not obsession.

    Summary

    “I can’t believe we are going camping in the middle of winter.” Jimmy huffed. “How did I let you convince me to go camping in the middle of winter? It’s 13 degrees out here!”
    “Because you were curious?” Lois blew on her hands as she set another pile of logs down for Clark to split later. “And besides, this is way better than how I did it with—“ Lois glanced at Clark, who was busy figuring out how to anchor the tent when the ground was frozen solid and covered in 15 inches of snow. “When I was growing up.”

    Summary

    I've recently been unexpectedly promoted to lead a department in my organisation, wrote the anonymous emailer.

     

    As there was no one working here when I arrived, my manager, who is head of the organisation, had promised me the choice of my own assistants. However, without warning, he simply presented me with an additional assistant. This new assistant’s first act on his first day was to let a dog into the office. It took several hours to catch and clean up after this dog and it has only been downhill from there. I admit I'm not entirely sure what to do with this assistant now I'm stuck with him. I'm hoping you have some advice?

     

    Kind regards,
    New Manager

    Summary

    “Are you alright?” he asks gently.
    Jon wants to laugh. He
    does laugh, all dry and hoarse and devoid of humor. “No, Martin, it’s Tuesday. It’s only ever been Tuesday!” Each word climbs in pitch until he’s bordering on hysterics, throwing his hands out because there’s nothing else he can think to do with them. “Who's to say it won’t be Tuesday for the rest of eternity!”
    Martin looks at him, all pity and no rationality, and says thoughtfully,
    unhelpfully, “Well...I mean hey. It could be worse!” He even manages a smile. “Could be a Monday.”

    Jon gets roped into doing followup with Martin on a very particular case about a very particular house. And then he gets roped in again. And again. And again.
    Probably just needs a lot of followup...right?

    Summary

    "Kieran couldn’t hold it in anymore. “Don’t you think the ogre in that folktale sounds kinda... sad?” Floriana looked back at him, surprised at the sudden outburst. He fidgeted, tugging at a lock of dark hair. “Maybe... maybe the villagers just didn’t understand it, you know? It might not have wanted to be… scary.”

    Floriana’s face creased with thought. “You think?” They murmured, and Kieran felt his stomach sink. “It attacked the village, right? I don’t blame them for being scared.”"

    Kieran's life has always been anything but normal, a tenuous dance of practiced gestures and actions that kept people from asking too many questions. But when a new face shows up during his yearly trip back home, his ability to cope is thrown into dramatic disarray.

    Needles could feel the fear soak deep into his lungs, his bones, his very being. Nothing like he had ever tasted before, it could last him for years on end but..

    Something wasn't quite right about it.

    As he stared down at Mr. Operator, all he could question was, why on god's green earth was he not horrified right now!?

    Summary

    Usually, when faced with one of Harry's non sequiturs, Kim would intentionally force his face to remain neutral, carefully hiding either confusion or a grin.

    This time however, he opened his mouth to speak, then stopped himself before a single word left his lips. His eyebrows creased in a look of intense concentration, while his gaze went right through Harry, then snapped back into focus. Before the lieutenant was able to reign in his expression again, something flickered over his face.

    HALF-LIGHT - Fear.

    ___
    Or: Kim is once again confronted with the Skills - this time, his own. Harry of course doesn't know any other way of being - but to Kim, it becomes a question of identity, and a rather urgent one at that.

    [There are rules for sleeping with Zuko.

    Sokka realizes that fact before he even starts doing it, back in those late days of the war when Zuko catches sight of the fresh bruise blooming over Sokka’s cheek one morning and teases him about getting distracted sparring with Suki, and Sokka doesn’t know how to say that actually, Zuko fell asleep by the fire last night and the reason Zuko woke up there too is because when Sokka tried to shift him to his bedroll, Zuko kicked him in the face in his sleep.]

    Or,

    From avoiding bodily injury to getting him to fall asleep in an actual bed, there are rules for sleeping with Zuko. Sokka might just find his way to learning them all.
