    Summary

    Alhaitham seems undisturbed, placing the study down on the table so Kaveh can see. “It suggests,” he repeats calmly, “that non-sexual intimacy works just as well as the alternative in alleviating the more uncomfortable symptoms of heats and ruts. The article cites skin-to-skin contact, warmth, and a feeling of comfort and safety as the primary trigger for this, rather than… the usual methods, so to speak.”

    Great. A week until Kaveh’s pre-cycle, and Alhaitham is suggesting that Kaveh try… what? Cuddling?

    It's already frustrating enough to present as an enigma, but Kaveh's asexuality means he tends to suffer through his cycles alone and uncomfortable. When Alhaitham finds a study suggesting cuddling could help with Kaveh's upcoming cycle, it causes old feelings to surface and has Kaveh realizing Alhaitham might enjoy his company more than he previously thought.

    Summary

    The political game of Snezhnaya faces a massive upheaval when Pantalone and Dottore uncover some dastardly things happening behind the scenes. It all revolves around the youngest Fatui Harbinger, and the trails all lead straight to a hell he's been walking alone since he was eighteen. Pantalone wants to help for reasons both selfish and selfless, but Childe just wants to keep his head down and do what's expected of him.

    Dottore really doesn't care. He's faced Gods before; the Tsaritsa is but a figure in the vacuum of power. But this time it's different; he has someone he cares about. And then that someone turns into someones, and he might have to actually try to bring them to a happy end.

    Summary

    “Grace, question?”

    I perk up at the sound of Rocky's voice. It's not uncommon after almost two years into our trip to Erid to ask random questions about me, or humans, or really earth in general. Especially after an hour or two on his computer.

    “Yes Rocky?”

    “Humans persistence predators, question? Humans hunters, question?”

    “Ah.”

    --------
    or humans can seem terrifying to space rocks

    Summary

    Afterwards Rocky reassured me that it is pretty common for pebbles to earn their first nicks and cracks at that age. Their outer shell isn’t fully developed yet and not quite as hard as that of an adult. He proudly showed me various indents and hairline fractures on his own body, telling me about how he got them in his youth during adventures with his friends or just messing around.

    It’s a sign of growth, he told me. A sign of getting older and maturing.

    Not a big deal. Happens all the time.

    I believe him. Tori was in good spirits afterwards. Their crying was more because of the shock and the scare, not any actual pain. We finished the rest of the day without any further incidents and then I wished them all a happy holiday and returned to my home and got into bed.

    Where I stayed for the next eighteen hours.

    *************
    There is an accident in the classroom. Everyone tells Grace that it's not a big deal.
    But then why can't he stop thinking about it?

    Summary

    Rainy. “I had no reason to make any complications with the Harbinger.” The truth, that was all. “Yet you are the one who brought the complications to us.”

    Heavy snow. The Captain. Not far off in distant echoing halls, not a blurred shadow in a snow storm. Right in front of him, all for his eyes to see. A wonder he never thought he’d get to feel up close.

    Sunny. “Hah. If he heard that, his heart would break. Good thing ours are mechanical.”

    Overcast. It doesn’t even matter if they could close more distance between one another, because they’re incapable of staying with anyone besides their own lonesome.

    A take on the Marionette's Notebook entries, and three Harbinger's exchanges over tea.
