Summary
The night was awfully quiet, nothing was out of the ordinary in the world you have been forcefully taken to. As a string of sanity vanishes in the sheets of the bedroom, you felt abandoned by the ruthless God.
There was no escape. Nowhere to run.

Summary
Izuku had heard of the uncanny valley.
Two words, meant to summarize a vast feeling of insurmountable description.
The uncanny valley, at its core, was an instinctual feeling of wrongness humans experienced when seeing something non-human with human characteristics. Birds with mocking capabilities or emotionally intelligent AI could trigger it, or even other humans that were sick or dying.
Izuku thinks there’s something more. When he looks in the mirror, he can see that the body in his reflection is identical to his own.
When his reflection touches his face, he feels the caress on his own skin. When Izuku moves his arm, the reflection copies him.The reflection is real, yet it is not. It couldn't exist unless Izuku himself was there to give it life, to give it something to copy.
If Izuku shattered that mirror, his reflection would cease to exist, erased.
But it wouldn’t erase the feeling that Izuku got when he looked into the eyes of his own reflection.The uncanny valley was an instinctive response when seeing something non-human that was trying very desperately to pretend that it was.
When Izuku looked in the mirror, all he saw was a ghoul.

Summary
It's the first winter after Pitch's defeat. Jack is happy, he's not alone anymore, and his memories are gradually returning. But when a treasure hunt gone wrong puts Jack and Jamie in danger, flinging them through time and space, they find themselves on an island neither of them have heard of before. Jack's first priority is to get Jamie home safe, but Berk's inhabitants - human and otherwise - are certainly not making it easy.
Knowing they will leave Berk and the Vikings behind as soon as they know how to, Jack is not going to risk the pain of growing close to any of these people (or dragons, for that matter). But Hiccup Horrendous Haddock, wearing his heart on his sleeve, doesn't seem to want to take the hint.

Summary
The Eridian thrills a high sound that doesn’t get picked up by the translator which means that it has no clear meaning. Like when a human gasps or sucks in a deep breath. It actually sounds a little like that. When they notice that I’m staring straight at them they scramble back into their hiding spot and hold very still.
A child, I realize with a start.
That’s a child!
“Hey,” I call and the kid squeaks again. I was about to get to my feet but abort the movement and crawl closer on my hands and knees until I'm inches away from the xenonite wall. I wait and it takes me much too long to realize that they don’t have to peek around the corner to see if I’m still there.
“Hey there,” I try again, my voice low and calm. It’s my teacher voice, the one I use for shy and scared students.
Used.
The fact that I haven’t had to use it for years and it still comes to me automatically almost knocks the air out of my lungs but this is not about me, it’s about making sure the little pebble doesn’t die of fright from the scary alien. “Hi, I’m Grace. It’s alright, you don’t have to be scared.”
