Summary
“No,” Taion cut in abruptly, and something in his voice caused Lanz to immediately shut his mouth. “No,” he repeated a bit more steadily, “I meant - I don’t understand you. You and your companions. I don’t fully- your bond doesn’t make sense.”
Taion can't wrap his head around the bond his Keves companions share with one another. Lanz tries to explain it. -

Summary
Pacific Rim AU: Jin and Malos are drift compatible. That would be fine, if it weren’t for two tiny little issues: 1) Jin has sworn to never enter a Jaeger again, after the loss of his co-pilot five years ago, and 2) Malos is an absolute dick. But the Kaiju war doesn't seem to care about these issues, and as Jin's relationship with Malos evolves, so does his view on life - a life that he is now wondering if he just might want to live after all.

My hands are not clean (they can still carry you home) by Arcturus_Ish

Summary
The thing about plastic chairs is that they weren't a great substitute for an actual bed; the other thing is, Robert can't exactly afford to be picky and even if he 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 the internal debate is still ongoing as to whether or not he deserves a mattress at this current point in his life.
So, the plastic chair stays and is staying for the foreseeable future. Besides, it's charming - in a depressing, minimalism-that-is-totally-not-a-reflection-of-his-inner-sense-of-worth way.
Or:The fic where Robert has chronic pain and Flambae has warm hands. The two of them will figure out what to do about that eventually, right?

Summary
At first, Mike was unsure how to approach him when he got like this. But they’ve been living together for months now, never further than five feet apart in their dorm beds, so Mike’s learned what works and what doesn’t.
It works when he wakes Will like this, with gentle hands and words, telling him he’s safe. It works when he climbs into Will’s warm bed, turning him on his side and curling up against his back, an arm over his waist and his cheek pressed against his shoulder. They lie together like that until Will’s hiccupping gasps soften into steady breaths, until Mike feels him go limp in his arms and he knows he’s fallen back asleep. It always works.
or: Will has nightmares and Mike is the only one who can console him. Not even Will's boyfriend can. Mike takes great pride in this fact.

Summary
Will looked up.
Mike was frozen mid–chew, a piece of pasta hanging stupidly from his fork. His eyes were wide, fixed on Will’s chest.
On the hoodie.
On his hoodie.
The moment stretched like elastic. Mike blinked once. Twice. Then the blush hit - an immediate, fierce red crawling up his neck to the tips of his ears.
“Oh,” he croaked, voice cracking.
Will blinked. “Oh?”
“That’s, um, that’s…” Mike swallowed hard. “That’s my hoodie.”
Will felt heat rush to his own face. “Uh. Yeah. Sorry. I… I forgot to return it. I’ll give it back later.”
“No!” Mike squeaked, far too loudly. He cleared his throat violently. “I mean, you don’t have to. I’m not, like, I don’t need it. You can, um. Keep it. If you want.”
💕💕💕
Will borrows Mike’s hoodie once. Then twice. Then it becomes…a whole thing.

Summary
Mike lets out a frustrated groan and knocks his head back against the seat—like Hopper’s the one being cryptic here.
Mike’s voice cracks slightly when he repeats, “He hurt Will.” More urgent this time. More desperate.
“Okay. I get that,” Hopper says slowly. “But it doesn’t explain why—”
Mike cuts him off, sharp. “If Will didn’t tell you, then I’m not telling you.”
-
When Hopper gets a call about that damn Wheeler kid, he's pissed. Until he realizes what exactly he's dealing with.
