Summary
eddie's not entirely sure he believes in getting help, at least not for himself. there's only so much healing to be had for a body torn apart by bullets, for a mind that's only half there, for a man who's been leaving pieces of himself behind all his life with nothing to take their place.
except, as it turns out, falling apart happens in increments, and healing does, too: it happens when you gnaw a hole in your lip trying to keep quiet only to have the words escape; when you realize that the ghost you've been seeing out of the corner of your eye is yourself; when your best friend smiles, and you allow it to take your breath away.
it happens through the smallest of things: bird feeders, and cacti, and pasta shapes.
meanwhile, the world goes on.
(or: the entity often affectionately referred to as the unrepression fic.)

Summary
“C’mon.” Tori nudges him with an elbow. “C’mon. He’s cute. You can admit that one thing but you can’t admit this?”
Gritting his teeth, Ice thinks very carefully about his next words. “He’s…” he trails off. “Some would say that…Mitchell is not. Unpleasant. To look at.”
(Alternatively: the one where Ice and Mav learn to park bad, eat good, and love even better.)

Summary
After Eddie goes through an entire box of Frank’s tissues in a week and finally manages to read through those reddit stories without flinching, he tells Frank, “I think I want to have sex. Like with a man. Gay sex.”
Frank tilts his head, pressing the tip of his middle finger against the space between his eyebrows, and sighs. He makes a note — Eddie wonders, half-hysterical, if he’s writing down the words gay sex — and then taps the end of his pen against his knee as he meets Eddie’s eyes.
“Do I have to tell you that you don’t have to?” Frank asks, mild.

“Faye, you can’t just pawn off your child.”

Lexi stared at her, eyes wide. “I’m sorry— are you insane?”
(or, Lexi and Fez are left to raise Faye's baby when she abandons her, resulting in lots of found family and fluff!)

Summary
Tony realized they were going to die about two days ago.
Their ship had no fuel, no power. He’d screwed around with the wiring a million times, just trying to get communications back online, but all he got was a few painful burns and jack shit in the way of results.
They were going to die in an alien spaceship, floating lightyears away from home, and there was absolutely nothing Tony could do about it.

Summary
“Do you trust me?” Buck asked, as he nuzzled his nose against Eddie’s.
“You know I do.”
“Good,” Buck said, pecking him on his lips again before he pulled away and kicked off his boots. “I need you to hold my pants.”
Buck hooked his thumbs in the waistline of his jeans and pushed them down in a blink of an eye. If Eddie’s face could get any redder, it would, but the heat of his gaze had Buck shoving down a shiver that raced up his spine.
He handed Eddie his jeans and pulled off his shirt.
“This is weird,” Eddie mumbled as Buck handed his clothes to him. “I hope you realize this is weird.”

Summary
Redditors: Is Ana the asshole?
After trying and failing to move her relationship forward with Eddie, Ana Flores turns to Reddit for advice and consolation, but things soon go awry when she realises that it's not a "what" that's standing between her and happiness, but a "who".
While Ana's trying to navigate her awkward relationship, her Reddit posts start gaining more and more traction, and the Internet becomes anxious to follow the saga of boyfriend E (m34) and his coworker B (m31).
Part humor, part character study, part Ana anti-fan club, with an adorable pet snake named Scooter thrown in there for good measure.

Does anyone else's partner hate pet names?
He gave me that impression very early on, so I call him by his first name but he doesn’t seem to respond well to that either. Maybe he’s just not used to hearing it? He usually goes by a nickname at work and he doesn’t see his parents that often. Not really looking for advice, just haven’t experienced this before. Especially because his coworker seems to call him whatever he wants and he never seems to mind.Series
