Summary
Ralph and Jack circle each other in the fragile space between rivalry and reluctant connection as the island continues to divide them. Ralph, still trying to hold onto order and community, catches glimpses of something quieter and more vulnerable beneath Jack’s hardened, violent exterior.
A chance moment working together on a shelter—and later, saving the signal fire from dying—forces them into uneasy cooperation. Their usual arguments give way to brief, honest conversation, where Jack admits, in his own guarded way, how fear and loss have shaped him into someone who chooses control over connection. Ralph pushes back, insisting things don’t have to stay broken, even as he struggles to believe it himself.
Through small, charged interactions—shared silences, almost-touches, and moments of reluctant honesty—the distance between them shifts slightly. Nothing is resolved, and the tension remains, but for the first time, there’s a flicker of mutual understanding beneath the conflict.

Summary
Even with his stores of near-infinite knowledge, D3rlord3 was not prepared for the sight that awaited him when he answered his front door:
On his doorstep stood a scrappy-looking young man in a Hawaiian shirt, cargo shorts, and a beaming smile. In his hand was D3rlord3’s hastily-written book.
The man, still smiling, tilted his head and asked, “Did you write this?”

Summary
Three weeks into their shared Minecraft world, Derek builds Avery a library.
It has a pitched roof and reading nooks and lanterns placed at exactly the right height and a sign above the fireplace that says for Avery, so we have somewhere to put things we want to keep.Avery tries to tell Derek it's beautiful. Derek says it's just a Minecraft building. Avery says it's beautiful again. Derek says the farm was already finished so he had time. Avery says it's beautiful a third time and waits.
Derek says thank you. It comes out right this time.Later Avery falls asleep against Derek's chest on the couch and Derek pulls the redistributed blanket over both of them and thinks about the sign and decides that this, the lamp, the apartment, the ordinary Thursday night weight of someone he loves asleep against him, is also something he wants to keep.
(a fic about grain direction, reading nooks, and learning to let good things be said about you.)
