Summary
The scars across his body mark a treasure map of mistakes. Tiny shrapnel scars and rosy-red roadrash, a lifetime of being thrown to the ground by Academy training and the real world. The ivory line tracing across his jaw, almost invisible. The tattoos and the traintracks, the pockmarked puncture wounds scattered like a horrifying constellation across his body.
He’s so tired.

Summary
When they drop out of the hurtling nightmare of the wormhole, everything blends into nausea and the scream of alarms, the stars smearing into concentric loops outside their Lions.
Keith grits his teeth, hauling helplessly at controls that were already damaged even before they got thrown out of the hangar, across the universe and back into space again. Arms and shoulders straining, muttering constantly under his breath, he tries to get any real response from his Lion, but the connection’s been reduced to just a faint wavering spark, like a candle about to go out.
Finally Shiro brings his own Lion around and physically stops Keith’s uncontrolled spin. His voice sputters in over the com. “This is no good. We’re gonna have to find someplace to set down.”

Summary
The truth is: what Keith wants or doesn’t want won’t bring Shiro back.
The truth is: nothing can breathe in space.
(Or: the story of how Keith and Shiro come together, come apart, and come together again.)

Summary
We are sitting in a secluded field, the sea lapping at the shore quietly in the distance, and now he reaches for me fully. His hands go to my head and drag me to his, though I go willingly; it is a long time since we had this sort of freedom, the hours to while away in slow, burning heat. This, and this, and this.

Summary
Adam contemplates Ronan's tattoo. Spoilers for The Raven King.
He probably wouldn’t have imagined this would become normal to him: Ronan, head pillowed on his forearms, laying on his stomach in bed next to Adam.

Summary
Adam worked for so long to get out of Henrietta, to get away, to leave the dust of that place behind him. To leave Virginia for a bright future, never to return again. And now that he’s succeeded, he seems to have left a piece of his heart behind. Set post-TRK, spoilers within.

For Adam and Ronan, fathers and poetry and love are heavy things, made more so by their necessity. But bodies, bodies are simple and can say twice as much.

Summary
It had only been three weeks. Adam had come home for Thanksgiving and now it was Winter break and he would be home for a month and a half before spring semester started but he felt starved. Just the sight of Ronan made his heart canter away from him, his heat rise. He felt this pull, this longing, so strong it made him want to cry.

Summary
Ronan hung up the call. The phone was barely in his pocket before he was leaning into Adam, closing the space between them, and kissing him deeply. The fence creaks beneath them as Adam kissed back. The air was hot and humid around them, and Ronan’s skin was hot beneath Adam's hands, and Adam felt so real so present kissing him on his front porch he forgot for a moment how much he had missed him.
“Hey,” Ronan mumbled into his neck, “Happy Birthday.”

Summary
Adam began to slide his hand lower, stopping just at the top of Ronan's pants. He skimmed his fingers along the jutting hipbone and Ronan froze beneath him. Adam pulled back to kiss along his lips to his jaw and down to his ear, where he whispered, "Do you want me to?"
Set in the bit of time before the epilogue (which includes some mild TRK spoilers), the boys are getting handsy and being a little awkward about it.
