Summary
"Why -" he gestures expansively towards Jaskier, his lute, the forest around them, his swords now strapped to Roach "- are you doing this?"
A bard seeking fortune wouldn't watch Geralt across the fire with eyes half-full of tears that he didn't bother to blink away. An artist looking for a muse wouldn't press close, desperately close, against Geralt's side until he finally gave in and turned his head. A young man after a quick fuck wouldn't grip Geralt to him hard enough to bruise even a witcher.
The way Jaskier looks at Geralt makes him think he should know the answer already, but he doesn't, he doesn't.
"Because I know you," he says at last. "Because I have known you. Because I will know you. Isn't that enough?"
(One day, Geralt will understand that it was the closest thing Jaskier will ever have to a goodbye, and it's enough, it's enough.)

Summary
“I didn’t want to be on the platform anymore,” SecUnit said. Its voice was soft, but there was an undertone of frustration. Ratthi frowned. He could sympathize with not wanting to be stuck in one spot, and SecUnit seemed more prone to fidgeting now that it didn’t have to hide. “But I kind of forgot how to walk.”
Wait.
“What?”
----
Missing scene from Chapter 8 of Exit Strategy; Murderbot may have glossed over forgetting how to walk but uncontrolled falls to the ground tend to be loud.

Summary
“I’m sorry, did you say eleven years old?” Ratthi asked, because humans can’t play back bits of conversations that they didn’t hear and are always asking each other to repeat things, much to the annoyance of any contracted SecUnits being forced to listen in and record everything they say to be sold for advertising data.
“Yes,” Gurathin confirmed, and then everyone was staring at me and looking all shocked and sad and whatever.
“Constructs don’t age the same way humans do,” I reminded them, before anyone could start thinking anything stupid like oh no, Murderbot is just a little kid and little kids shouldn’t be doing security and eleven year olds shouldn’t have guns in their arms. "Eleven is old for a SecUnit. Most of my inorganics are already past warranty.”
Except, because I’m an idiot, that didn’t make it better. It actually made it worse, because now even Dr. Mensah was making a concerned face at me.Bookmarked by JackFool

Summary
I pull close to it in the feed, and say, “You were lucky.”
The rogue SecUnit reacts, physically and in the feed. It sits bolt upright, and a wave of fear ripples off of it like a [cloud of micro-debris], or like an [emergency evasive maneuver that grinds a planet’s upper atmosphere]. It’s unpleasant. It’s unfamiliar. I capture the data, store it, and start chewing on it immediately.

Summary
Robotnik reaches out and grabs the back of Stone’s neck, yanking him in close. Finally, Stone thinks - a normal reaction from the Doctor. He's about to be threatened, or shoved face-first on the table, or –
The Doctor presses their foreheads together, breathing a trembling sigh through his lips. “Shut up, Stone,” he mutters, but there’s no bite in his words. He sounds broken down, almost on the verge of tears, and the sound of it shatters Stone’s heart into several million pieces.

Summary
After the explosion, Dr Robotnik learnt three things in quick succession:
1. A sufficiently large detonation combined with a sufficiently large amount of Chaos Energy creates a wormhole through which one can travel (or be sucked at the last second) to a parallel universe relatively safely.
2. Earth seemed to stay pretty consistent across most universes.
3. It appeared that, after a life of self-imposed seclusion in the manner of a gizmo-ridden, super-genius, hermetic monk, when it came down to brass tacks, Dr Robotnik was hard-pushed to tell the difference between most Earths.Dr Robotnik jumps through universes to try and get back home, confronting his feelings for Agent Stone along the way.

Summary
Mabel had had the right idea all along, she was just being a bit too low-tech about it. But if Fiddleford could invent a gun that erased people's memories, then surely Stanford could invent something that recovered lost memories. He could and he would, and then he would use it to get Stanley's memories back, and then everything would be alright.

Izzy looks to Edward, mouth working helplessly.
“Just let it happen, mate,” Ed suggests.
“I was hoping,” Stede continues, a little irritated by the lack of support, “that you’d let me—and Ed—know if there’s anything we could be doing differently, to make you more comfortable.”(Or: How Izzy Hands learned to stop worrying and love his co-captains.)

Summary
By the time they get back into their own bed, Trent's feet are ice blocks; he shoves them unceremoniously between Ted's calves as they wind themselves around each other. Ted chuckles sleepily as he picks grass out of Trent's hair. "Gonna have to shower later on, sweetheart," he yawns into Trent's forehead. "You look like you went twelve rounds with Katie's Bad Boy."
"As opposed to two rounds with my own," Trent yawns back, and falls asleep to Ted's delighted gasp of, "Trent Alexander Crimm, well I never."
