Summary
Six months since she and Etho divorced, a year or more since he’d actually lived in her house, and yet his absence was felt. It wasn’t that his things weren’t there anymore; he hadn’t kept so much as a spare set of clothes there in years. It wasn’t that she couldn’t hear him anymore; he’d always been so quiet.
It wasn’t even that he was gone. He had already been gone.
It was knowing for certain, without a doubt, that that was never going to change.

Summary
[ “Vice Captain Hoshina.”
The voice that came through the headset was unfamiliar, and Hoshina’s name was mangled by the static from having an outside line patched into their communications system. Hoshina felt himself straighten nonetheless- there was a calm certainty in the voice that reminded him of Captain Ashiro.
“This is Captain Takagi of the 9th Division. My team is en route to the honju, but I have extra people to send your way if your platoons need help with the remaining yoju. What do you need?” ]
Or: Captain Ashiro is away from Tachikawa base, and a honju appears in her absence. Vice Captain Hoshina is left to rely on the rarely-seen 9th Division Kaiju Defense Force to neutralize the threat.

Summary
What would you like? I'd like my money's worth.
Try explaining a life bundled with episodes of this-
Swallowing mud, swallowing glass,
The smell of blood on the first four knuckles.We pull our boots on with both hands,
But we can't punch ourselves awake,
And all I can do is stand on the curb and say:Sorry about the blood in your mouth.
I wish it was mine.- "Little Beast" by Richard Siken

Summary
“Is this bird yours, Snake?” Orla’s voice interrupts from the kitchen.
“A raven?” Ronan asks.
“Yeah. Can she come in?”
“If you don’t mind,” Ronan says. “I figured you wouldn’t want her in the house.”
It strikes Blue as oddly considerate, even though not bringing your dreamed-up pet bird into someone else’s home seems like something that most of the population wouldn’t have to think twice about.

A Million Times I Swear I've Died by Amethystfairy1

Summary
It was funny.
Scar had heard the saying that days were slow and years were fast before, but he’d never thought it applied all that well. His life had been a whirlwind from the moment he’d agreed to become a biotech weapon running around in thigh-highs, a crop top, and booty shorts, firing arrows at monsters for a living.
Juggling that with his academic career, he’d just been rushing forward without taking the time to think about minutes and hours until twenty years had gone by.
But this?
He’d blinked, and it’d been two months.
Two months.
{In which Scar makes a choice to saw at the strings, finds a gift, and decides to look for a change of clothes}

It was all…all just…wrong.
But he had to try. He had to...he had to force it.

Summary
When Blue is chosen as the reluctant Bachelorette, the show needs to quickly add a few contestants, just to fill out the first night's ceremony. Her new friends on the production staff are asked to help, but Ronan soon finds out he and Blue share similar taste in men.
“I’m gay,” Ronan said.
“Well of course I know that,” Declan snapped back, “but you're here.”
“And I’m gay,” Ronan reminded him.
“You know, it might not be a bad idea,” Blue said slowly with a thoughtful look at Ronan. “It might be nice to have a friend, someone I know who isn’t out to get something from me. Like having a spy for my team in the camp. He can tell me who’s hot and who’s not.”
Ronan eyed Blue suspiciously. “I’m not going back into the closet for you. I never lie. Especially about my sexuality.”
“I’m not asking you to lie,” she said. “But I know for a fact you prevaricate. It’s not like they’re going to ask you point-blank on camera in the introduction videos ‘Are you gay? Do you only like men?’”
“Fine,” Ronan agreed as Noah let out a little cheer. “One night.”
