Summary
"I just wanted to live… Was that so wrong?" The stranger asks, and it's clear that they aren't talking to Grace and Rocky anymore. Maybe they never were. "They didn't even ask for my name. They killed me and they didn't even care about who I used to be."
Grace and Rocky find a submarine on their way to Erid. Unfortunately, the strange man inside is barely coherent, and he doesn’t even look human.

The World’s Saddest Sleepover by Geminis_Cold_Takes

Summary
Giles didn’t want Buffy to rescue him from his roaring rampage of revenge against Angelus. It takes a punch to the face for him to remember his Slayer and her friends are still kids and they need him. Can he grieve for Jenny in front of them and express how much *he* needs *them*?
(Yes, but in typically Gilesian fashion: “so many words”, startling bursts of intense feelings no one is comfortable reacting to, tea and biscuits at his flat.)

What They Shouldn't Have To by Geminis_Cold_Takes

Summary
Giles has to accept that Willow understands him more than he’d like. He needs her help with his injury if he’s going to stop Glory’s apocalypse. And help with something else that Buffy bloody well won’t talk about.
My attempt to answer some questions - how did Giles feel about Buffy’s threat to kill him and anyone who might try to stop her from letting the whole universe die (“including Dawn”) if it meant she had to sacrifice Dawn? (The full impact of that won’t hit him this early, future installment foreshadowing here). How did Willow transition to the leader of the Slayerettes? Most of all, how the hell did Giles dive “once more unto the breach” a couple of hours after a spear wound, a vehicle flip, hours of bleeding out, and emergency surgery in a filthy gas station performed by an intern who was apparently subletting from Glory?

Summary
On Rocky's grand tour of the Blip-A, eleven point nine light-years from home, Ryland Grace finally remembers the last piece of his Swiss cheese memory. He had never volunteered for this. He had said no. Yet they took him by force anyway. He doesn't want to ruin this perfect moment, but some memories hit too hard to hide, and Rocky has never once let him carry the heavy things alone.

Summary
Hizashi had asked his listeners to donate to research causes, heck, he’s raised millions of yen but still feels like he's not allowed to be disabled. Or at least, Present Mic, isn't allowed to be.
Too normal.
Too happy.
Too much, without being disabled, already.
Shouta froze as he heard a weak retch from the bathroom. Shit. Entering their room properly, Shouta made his way to their bathroom, his eye adjusting just enough for him to see the shivering form of his lover.
“‘Zashi?” Shouta asked softly,
Hizashi’s head snapped to the sound of his husband's voice before turning back to the toilet bowl. A few feeble heaves that did nothing but tire him.—
Hizashi gets sound headaches/migraines as he adjusts to his cochlear implants. He manages to get through his half day at work. A phone call from Shinso’s foster father makes everything just ever so slightly more unbearable. Shouta comes home to a shaking husband leant over the toilet bowl. Hizashi talks about his insecurity and his annoyance with the press. They have soup and Hizashi gets kisses.
