    Summary

    “Mr. Grace, do you have a girlfriend?” Aria called out, which resulted in a cascade of laughter and jeering. Grace, despite four years of practice, was blindsided by this blow and floundered to come up with a rejoinder.

    “Uh,” He gurgled into the microphone, an idiot wearing three pairs of glasses, “No, I do not.”

    Or: Middle School Science Teacher Ryland Grace accidentally falls in love.

    Summary

    “I’m- I can’t convince myself to commit to a longer stay,” Robby admits, frustrated by it. “It’d be better for actually getting somewhere with antidepressants, I know, but I feel like once I take away the work and the bike and everything else I do… there’s a clock on how long I can be naked like that. When it runs out, if I’m not back on the right side, I’ll get stuck as nothing, forever.” Robby drops his face into his hand. “Why does this sound like The Little Mermaid?” he moans.

    “Is this the kind of place where they throw a black bag over your head and smash your SIM card, or can I still talk to you?” Jack asks.

    ~After a scare on his road trip, Robby does two weeks of inpatient care in Wisconsin... and you'll never guess who he uses his phone time on~

    Summary

    Ghost has been hard at work tackling his aversion to touch since the 141 came together. He’d been irate the first time Soap and Gaz tried casually throwing an arm around him. He had felt repulsed, nauseous, scared…

    Warm. Comforted.

    It took him a few weeks to admit to himself and his therapist that physical touch was a love language he has been severely starved of.

    Thankfully it’s a language that his squad is annoyingly fluent in. More often than not he loves being close to his team now.

    Only Soap has this strange ability to make him crave more, though.

     
     Featuring Ghost with a PTSD induced temperature regulation issue and Soap, who wants nothing more than to be used as a personal heater.

    Summary

    Darnell nodded, glancing over Robby like he was trying to place him in the hierarchy of important to ignorable and it could go either way. "What's this?"

    "MSF FNG," Jack shot back. Whatever that meant, he sounded amused.

    Darnell scoffed and looked to Robby, expression going decidedly unimpressed. "Oh, yeah? You here to find yourself? Have an adventure? Do something hard?" he asked, each question more mocking than the last.

    And there was that question again, like it was haunting Robby. He stifled his instinct to bite back and kept it simple: "I'm here to help."

    Summary

    Do you think it all ends in flood, Robby wonders against the man’s carotid, or fire?

    What?

    I think hell is full of water. Maybe he’ll never know why other people’s mouths always taste better than his own. I think it’s everything we hope we’ve avoided, all the shit we tell ourselves we’re above caring about, drowning together in one big fucking bathtub.
