    Summary

    "I think you wish you got left behind," Dr. Calling said, "and I think you don't know what to do with yourself now that you didn't."

    His mouth wasn't a Sahara desert. His hands weren't shaking. There was absolutely no reason for his talons to dig into the handles of the chair until the material stopped giving beneath them, and there was certainly no reason for him to keep digging after that, when there was no more give left to find. The world did not stop, either, as though somebody had dropped an atomic bomb on a record player and shattered the needle against the silence. His ears did not ring. His blood did not rush hot into them. Nothing happaned, because Battat knew that was not true.

    "I don't know what you're talking about."

    or; Battat is not suicidal, and its absolutely ridiculous to suggest otherwise.

    Summary

    His whole world went, in that instant, to a single ringing screech, as of a record dragged backward beneath the needle by some hand not his own; and reality itself seemed to come down about him all at once and all in pieces, raining upon his skin the way broken glass rains down upon a man standing too near the window when the storm finally has its way with it. He felt himself go pale, felt the clammy chill come up over him like a fog rolling in off water he could not yet see; and his gaze was seized—there is no gentler word for it, seized, exactly as a man might seize a woman's chin between thumb and finger to force her eyes up to his own, whether she willed it or not—and turned, without his leave or his consent, out toward the sea.

    Aye, and the sea, in that moment, wore the face of nothing so much as a scorned lover: righteous, and furious, and entirely justified in both, for having been left standing at her own altar these two long months while the one she'd been promised ran. For that is what he had been doing, all this while, whatever finer names he'd given it to himself. He had been running.

    or;

    the sea calls to wifies, even after being saved by Parameter. he can only resist its call so many times

    Summary

    Finally in the kitchen, he started setting the bags down on the counter — or whatever sliver of counter space was actually available — but the second he turned his head, the salesman was back in his personal space, flowers clasped behind his back and leaning inwards to the die . "WELL WELL WELL NOW!!! A [Premium Purchase] LIKE THI5..." He rocked back on his heels. "DESERVE A LITTLE [Customer Loyalty Reward], DOESN;T IT??? A [[Smooch]]!!! JUST ONE!!! [All sales final]!!!"

    A small snippet inspired by the fic Slow Poison. I thought the idea of spamton and Battat living together was cool, so I imagined my own future dynamic with the two and wrote a quick snippet before I had to go to work.

    Summary

    Tenna's expression doesn't so much as flicker as he leans down toward the smaller darkner. Battat only now notices the cigarette resting between his fingers, hovering just over Ralsei's shoulder before it's stubbed out against him. Ralsei yelps, lurches to pull away, but Tenna's other hand clamps down on his opposite shoulder and holds him in place. Finally, Tenna grins.

    "Listen here little prince," he drawls out the word in such a way Battat can only assume is loaded with something Battat has no context for and doesn't much like the sound of anyway. "My business isn't yours. I'd suggest you keep cowering behind your little lightner friends before I'm forced to do something I'll really regret."

    A small ficlet / Snippet of my fic series inwhich distarune!battat gets displaced to the defernull universe. Context on both AUs is provided in the notes.

    Summary

    Make your grave and lie in it, then, and hope to whatevers left listening that someone else crawls out instead of you. You don't want to answer it, but there is no one else left to hear the words, so you give them to it anyway. Take them to the grave, you tell it. Hell is a two-person destination. We're both in this car wreck, you and I, both of us strapped into the same wreckage, and theres no version of tonight where trying to make a good decision or a bad one matters even a little. Our choices never mattered.

    It tells you it knows. It says it's been told these words before.

    Summary

    "Do not," Grace warns weakly, already knowing it’s too late.

    "I married a scientist," Rocky says solemnly. "A brilliant man. A perceptive man."

    "If you keep talking I will throw myself out of this car."

    " — There is no one else I want to be with but Dr.Grace, even when hes being very very obtuse —"

    "Thats not even a good usage of that word! And Ill make you sleep on the couch!"

    " — And hes a man I'd love to have kids with."

    What better way is there to fluster your husband than to pick him up in an expensive car in front of his students? Why, bringing up the idea of having kids in said car of course.

    Or: My contribution to ortiz!rocky
