Summary
"We were so worried, we heard you—" Ragatha starts, and then looks up. She meets Jax's gaze dead-on, and goes silent. Tears brim in the corner of her eye. Her hand flies up to cover her mouth. He can't tell if the look on her face is relief or fear.
Gangle's staring at him like she's seen a ghost. Pomni slowly raises to her feet, brows furrowed. She winces as every movement jars her wavering form.
Cowered on the floor, panting, confused and disoriented, with everyone standing above him, taller than him… it reminds Jax of something deeply unpleasant. They're all staring at him. They're all seeing him.
Jax knows they're not going to like what they see.
His breath quickens until his head is spinning, and he feels like he's going to vomit. He forces himself upwards with a frustrated cry, swaying in place, and then turns and bolts towards his room as fast as he can.
"NO!" Pomni screams.
(or: pomni pulls jax back from the brink.)

Bookmarker's Notes
easily one of the best jax de-abstraction fanfics
i really appreciate that it isn't just *snaps* now jax is a girl and everything is awesome
the process is really ugly and difficult, progress isn't linear
and also, the last couple scenes are just so fuckin good, holy -

Summary
It is the longest three days of Hitori's life.
They've given her a sling to hang her arm in and a cast. At least her legs aren't tied down to the bed. She could explore the halls of the hospital if she wanted to… But there's too many people here, so she stays in the safest place she knows: Her own room.
The clock ticks. Her right hand twitches, yearning for a grounding strum of her guitar. Even if she can't properly play it, it's the only comfort she has been granted in her life. She looks outside, sighing to herself as time drags her through the boredom.
"You've been sighing a lot there, Gotou-san."
“A-ah?!”
Or: Healing is more than physical.

Bookmarker's Notes
Such a great exploration of Hitori and Ikuyo's respective strenghts and insecurities. Very adorable and comfy, and that ending is so satisfying
