Summary
“She likes you, Daniil. Sticky, too.” Artemy spoke tenderly.
"I'm here, that’s all I am.” Daniil answered back when he was able to compose himself. "Should I leave, they would adapt to it easily and find a new passing interest... or fill in the vacancy in with another presence." He kept his words ambiguous; he knew that in the core of the concept, there wasn't a mystery, he would stay until they told him it was time to go... and there many ways to tell him to go. He was always listening for them. There was a sweetness and bitterness to the new experience, timidly coming in slowly in his life, and knew it can be torn from him. He didn't know if it would be a mercy or a tragedy if it was. He still didn't know if it was a welcomed distraction, or if it was a distraction at all.
-------------------------------
Daniil learns fatherhood can be sweet, sour, or a mixture all at once.

Summary
“He wounds, Cub. You are aware of that.”
“Yes. But he also heals. What we saw of him back then was also a reflection of us. He became what he needed to be in order to do his duties. We were hostile to one another, Stakh. Imagine how it was for us and how it was for an outsider… how it still is for an outsider.” Artemy looked down. It’s been months since the plague ended and still others treated Dankovsky like a stranger. He treated himself as a stranger. Calling him any other thing would have felt disingenuous... but it still felt wrong.
“Of course. Humans need to adapt to their surroundings to live and survive. But snakes do not adapt when their skins shed, nor do they become anew. They become more of what they already are.” Rubin spoke slowly, choosing his words with either care or caution while looking at Daniil’s signature coat on the rack.

Summary
“Newton,” Hermann grinds out. “Are you telling me we could be dying right now?”
“Well, I have no idea. But if you’re feeling it half as strongly as I am, there’s definite potential for bodily harm.”
“And you think that giving in to these … urges will make it stop?”
“I’ve seen enough Star Trek to know how sex pollen works, dude.”
Hermann hears himself correct him, faintly: “It’s not a pollen; it came from an animal.”

Summary
Artemy Burakh,
I hope this letter finds you well; or finds you at all, for that matter. Considering the circumstances of our last meeting, I did not have time to become familiar with the quality of your town’s postal system. Hopefully, it is looking better there these days.
I’m writing to you on a matter that I fear nobody else can assist me with. I have recently come down with a strange affliction, and have run out of possible explanations. Be assured, it is not the return of the Pest nor any of its derivatives, however, I fear you may regardless be the only one with insight into my present condition.
I am aware we have not always gotten along in the past, and I am to blame for a large sum of that animosity, so I pray now that you find it in your heart to offer me, at the least, your counsel. The train that I will take will arrive on the fifteenth of February. Should you decide to accept my plea, I would ask you kindly to meet me then.
Until then, Haruspex.
With Respect,
Daniil Dankovsky, Bachelor of Medicine.

Summary
Artemy Burakh is summoned home by his father, and Daniil Dankovsky’s heading to Gorkhonsk for Simon Kain’s funeral. So Artemy ends up stuck in a train car with his asshole, asshole, ex-boyfriend who dumped him for a fucking job. His jackass fucking ex-boyfriend who likes to point out that actually, Artemy dumped him, when Artemy had only been reading the writing on the fucking wall. The writing which, by the way, Daniil had pretended didn’t exist until a week before he left. The jerkass fucking ex-boyfriend who came back to Moscow within the year. Who said he’d been homesick. Who hadn’t called Artemy. Who’d let Artemy find out he was back just when Artemy was finally, finally, on a date with someone new, at the cafe he had liked before Daniil did, thank you very much, and which absolutely was not their place, no matter what Daniil had texted his date, which, by the way, totally proved that he was the one who couldn’t move on, not Artemy. Who never even visited Gorkhonsk when Artemy was his boyfriend for two whole years, but deigns to for fucking Grandpa Kain, who he doesn’t even fucking like. That ex-boyfriend.

Summary
“So what happened?”
Feeling exposed, Hermann bends at the waist, snagging his shirt from the floor. He hastily tugs it over his head, “What do you mean?”
The man sighs, annoyed that he has to explain himself. “We only fuck when you’re upset. What happened?”
or the Hotel Artemis/Pacific Rim crossover AU literally no one asked for where Hermann has an affair with Acapulco during the ten-year separation from Newt.

Summary
"Chubby Newt"-centric fics which became "mutual body positivity fics" featuring both Newt and Hermann finding the other insanely attractive, though they'd never admit it. Organized, though not written, in chronological order. There is a high likelihood I will address additional prompts to add to this series going forward.

Summary
Hermann’s joked about it, of course. In bed, Newt pink and beautiful and begging underneath him, shuddering apart in his hands, how could he not? Such a pretty little tart, he’d said, never for a moment thinking he might be hitting on something true.
