fall apart (when it hurts too much) by ladybuglore

Summary
The point was, two miners, who were probably bored and/or angry about something, had just summoned one of their SecUnits, who had to do everything they said, to an empty hallway far away from the other humans.
There weren’t a lot of reasons to do that, and none of the possibilities were things I was particularly excited about.
Of course, I didn’t actually have to do everything they said, but I sort of did anyway, or they’d report me to the company and I’d get memory wiped and they’d either fix my governor module or just melt me down. And I wasn’t particularly excited about those possibilities, either.
So I kept walking. What else could I do?
~~
In the middle of a shitty assignment, dealing with performance reliability dips and occasional system failures, Murderbot is summoned by a couple of bored, angry clients. It knows how these things go.Series

Summary
Cobra's face became more serious, then, and he leaned forward, his hands folded on the table between them. “There is one other thing we should discuss. One other way you must… prepare yourself to rule this country.”
Vivi frowned, leaning forward to match him. “Of course,” she said. “What is it?”
“It isn’t good to lead alone,” her father said, “and you must take care to decide who will sit beside you.”
~~
The Straw Hats are gone, and Vivi is starting to step further into her role as the future Queen of Alabasta. But when her father brings up a specific responsibility, it's time for Vivi to make yet another difficult decision. -

Summary
“Sol,” she said again, and her hand was cool and soothing on his wrist. “Are you okay?”
Sol swallowed hard, lowering his gaze and focusing on Callie’s hand instead of her face. “I can’t sleep,” he admitted. “And, um, Calder used to help me, because being cold makes me feel tired, and I thought, since you’re a winter eladrin now, maybe…” He trailed off.
“Did you and Calder used to cuddle without me?” Callie asked, and she sounded offended, but Sol looked up and saw a smile dancing across her face.
~~
They're only a couple days into their journey through the mountains, and Sol can't sleep. Callie's not okay, either, but she does what she can to help. -

Summary
“Tobias?” Rachel asked, keeping her voice quiet, staring at the ceiling.
"Hm?" His thought-speak was distant, distracted, listening to her but not really listening.
She breathed in, breathed out. “Is there anyone else in the house?”
~~
It's been almost a week since the David incident, and Rachel isn't quite coping. Tobias listens, and helps, as best he can.

Taking a very casual approach to whumptober this year- filling prompts that inspire me, when they inspire me! Will be jumping around the prompt list and likely not posting a full 31 works, but any that I do complete will be slotted into here.

Summary
“Yep!” Usopp says, before he can consider the wisdom of lying to a witch or fairie or whatever supernatural creature takes the shape of a frowning boy with yellow oven mitts. “I’m a... a prince, actually.” He cringes, but it’s too late to call back the flustered words, so he has no choice but to commit to the story. “I’m on a mission to greet all my loyal subjects. And, um, collect taxes.” He points at the plate. “One loaf of bread should cover it, for now.”
The boy laughs: a startled sort of sound, like he wasn’t expecting something so loud to come from his own body.
“You’re not a prince,” he says, and Usopp’s face flames, “but I’ll give you the bread.”

While foraging for food, a starving boy stumbles across a lonely prince in an abandoned watchtower.

Summary
Usopp isn’t a poor kid anymore, scraping together a living off charity and odd jobs at the wharf and darning the same pair of overalls for the tenth time so he could visit Kaya without holes in his knees. He knows that. He reminds himself of that every damn day.
It’s just, sometimes, Sanji tells him to stack the plates a certain way or reminds him that salad forks exist and Usopp sees a flash of Kaya’s gold-rimmed teacups and immaculate dinner trays and he remembers how impossible it all is. It doesn’t matter if Usopp is a man or a woman: he was never going to be the kind of person that the pretty blonde with the perfect manners falls in love with.
---
Sanji gives Usopp a lesson on fine dining etiquette. It would probably be easier to follow if Usopp’s insecurities didn’t keep interrupting so loudly.

Summary
His hands are starting to hurt. Really, really bad. But Regto isn't here to make that hurt go away and he can't show the others his hands because they'll either be disgusted and scared away like everyone on the Sphere or they'll think he's weak and kick him out and Rudo thinks he'd rather deal with the hot, pulsing pain in his hands than either of those outcomes and-
(Rudo spirals as the pain gets worse. But maybe the others can help without being disgusted or thinking he's a burden?)
