    Summary

    "Well, Wild? This is your Hyrule. Have you figured out why we're here?" Time asked.
    "Yeah." Wild swallowed thickly, forcing bile down his throat.
    "Well?" Legend raised an impatient eyebrow, and Wild turned away. How was he going to explain this? He'd told them virtually nothing of his journey. How was he supposed to convey how terrible this situation was? That the Blights had been revived.
    "Come on. We're heading towards Zora's Domain."

    A gang-meets-Wild fic with an actual plot (I think). Featuring a Wild who's a tad more secretive about his journey.

    Linked Universe belongs to Jojo, and I'm just a fan. :3

    Summary

    Growing up in the New York sewers as ninja mutant turtles came with plenty of strange stuff.
    Raph frequently spoke in third person and went insane when left alone too long.
    Donnie was way too smart for his age, no matter what age, and was incredibly peculiar about just about anything.
    Leo knew a seemingly random selection of Spanish sentences and got practically just as obsessed over various topics as Donnie, even if he was far less likely to admit it.
    And Mikey sometimes wasn't Mikey.

    _____

    Or, in which the turtles don't realize its unusual for one of their siblings to contain more people until it's pointed out to them.

    Summary

    “Why watch video that you no understand, question?”

    “Because… it’s people.” I don’t know how to explain why that matters so much to me, or why these people are different than the ones in the videos and movies we’ve put on in the Don’t Go Crazy room.

    ----

    Grace, in his perusing of all the data ever put on the internet, comes across a website that lets you open a window anywhere in the world. He has some emotions about it.

    I fall back down, my head hits the floor. Floor? What am I doing on the floor?

    I look up and see the large yellow sphere again. There’s a red line attached to it. Is it… yeah, that’s my model. I am really on the floor.

    Something tells me I didn’t lie down for fun.

    Summary

    KIM KITSURAGI — He speaks quietly. “Detective, it appears the victim may have been trans-sexual. If you’re unfamiliar, that term refers to someone who—”

    ENCYCLOPEDIA — Trans-sexuals are people who do not fit into traditional conceptions of gender vis-a-vis their anatomy at birth. Many of them undergo surgeries or take hormones in order to better outwardly express their gender identities. For a trans-sexual woman, for example, this might involve steps such as weekly estradiol injections, anodolytic hair removal, surgical revision of the face and vocal cords, orchiectomy, and/or resection and inversion of the penis to create a functioning vaginal canal. Depending on the specifics, this process of self-modification often takes years, and can be very expensive—over twice your annual salary, in many cases.

    REACTION SPEED — Wait a second, why do you know all that?

    The Major Crimes Unit is investigating the murder of a trans woman found dead near Boogie Street. This brings up unexpected feelings for Harry.

    Summary

    “Shut it, Abby, you’re gonna wake him up!”

    Grace buries his head deeper into the crook of his elbow, desperate to get a few more minutes of sleep, the movement eliciting the noise of giggling from the room around him. His brain doesn’t register anything strange about the sound, until he remembers that he’s supposed to be in the middle of space. Space, where Grace should be completely alone, and Rocky should be well on his way back to Erid.

    He jolts upright, suddenly far more awake. The quiet giggling erupts into full blown laughter, and Grace suddenly realises that he’s in his classroom, and the students laughing at him are the same ones he last taught fifteen years ago.

    Son of a biscuit.

    He’s on Earth again.

     

    Or

     

    Ryland Grace gets sent back in time and finds that getting launched into space is a lot harder when you aren’t being dragged there against your will.

    Summary

    Ryland Grace wakes up in a small room alone, where the walls are wrong, his body is wrong, and there's a rock spider like nothing he's ever seen looming over him. He has no memory of how a middle school science teacher could've possibly ended up on an alien planet trillions of kilometers away from the nearest fellow human being- and yet these aliens seem determined to take good care of him.

    /

    The drug Grace was given to induce amnesia before going on the Hail Mary has unpredictable long-term side effects.

    Summary

    Three years after the probes carrying Taumoeba and Dr. Ryland Grace's final message arrive on Earth, humanity launches an interstellar spaceship with a brand new mission. Thirty-six crew members (including two graduates of a certain San Franciscan junior high school) travel to the star 40-Eridani to make friendly contact with the Eridians and bring them the alien life form from Tau Ceti-E that can save their star if Dr. Grace's sacrifice failed.

    Grace, now fifty-seven years old, is just trying to balance his life as a teacher while no longer being the only human on the planet anymore. It's a big adjustment, but Rocky and the Terra's Grace crew are going to make sure he's well taken care of.
