Summary
Faced with a terrible choice, Cassius au Bellona must decide between his own honor and his brother’s life. Years later, he has left everything behind, but when Cassius sees his brother’s name beside the name of their worst enemy, he realizes it’s time to stop running. Honor demands that Cassius go back to Mars and finally finished what started before he was born; his heart demands that he protect his brother. The quest for revenge will lead the Golden child of House Bellona to places he never imagined. If Cassius is going to make it, he needs to open his mind — and his heart — and realize that the path he treads is one that not even a Gold can manage alone.

Summary
He can see ghosts, which means he still has family. Still has Shisui, and all the aunts and uncles and cousins and distant relatives he didn’t even know before. Still has mother, her kind smile and her knowledge. Still has father, as well, although Fugaku stays distant most days, wallowing in regrets and things that make the air around him terribly cold.
Sasuke is glad, selfishly, for that small mercy.
He could have lived without the ghost drama, though....
Or: the one where Sasuke can see ghosts, and things aren't as bad as they could be.

Summary
The problem, Bilbo would later tell Gandalf in aggrieved irritation, was not so much the unannounced visitors, oh no, but the fact that due to the lateness of the hour and sheer merciless fate, it came to be that at the respectable age of forty, Bilbo was being introduced to a real, live king while wearing striped pyjamas and fluffy slippers.

Summary
You think you know yourself.
Then, one day, you wake up under a foreign sun, the heat of a distant desert unforgiving, and realise what a silly lie that has been. Images—memories—flash before your eyes, and you are no longer. Which choices were yours and which belonged to that old, tired other within you?
You mouth your name, Bilbo Baggins, Bilbo Baggins, Bilbo Baggins, again and again and again. Until the polluted London air on your tongue becomes a cold mist of a dead mountain and then a sweet note of green over rolling hills and then bile.
· · ─ ·✶· ─ · ·
Bilbo Baggins is a grocer, living in East End. He's fighting against memories of past life he woke up with one day, and thinks he is all alone in his plight. Until, one day, no other but Thorin Oakenshield finds him.

Summary
"It’s the middle of August, and the peach trees outside are starting to give the first bumps of green fruit. The view doesn’t bring any joy to Hal, too busy making arrangements, barely sleeping on the living room’s couch and quickly working from dusk to dawn to hide their tracks, to hide anything that could give away their position, to...
To what end? What would become of Philanthropy now? Dave has pneumonia in the room right next to his little work space. The question rang hollow, selfish."
------
There's so much to rebuild after the Tanker. Dave's broken trust in Hal, for example.
