    Summary

    The toddler began to cry, and then he started to cough from trying to cry too hard, snot dripping down his face. Another adult came hurrying over to help him to his feet before they went inside to head, presumably, to the nurse’s office.

    Loud, chaotic, dirty. Everything that went against Al-Haitham’s standards.

    “Working here as what?” Kaveh blinked. “Like admin or something? That’s probably quiet and far enough from kids for you. Though—”

    “No,” interrupted Al-Haitham. “I don’t.”

    After getting fired from a prestigious architecture firm, Kaveh moves back to his hometown to raise his five-year-old brother only to find that an old college "acquaintance" is his little brother's kindergarten teacher.

    Summary

    Are you gloating? Are you trying to get me to leave? Kaveh wanted to ask. Do you even care?

    But that was the whole point, wasn’t it? That Al-Haitham did care. That was why he found out what he did about Sachin and Kaveh’s father, and it was Kaveh who had to come to terms with the fact that he’d been wrong.

    Do you regret staying with me?

    Kaveh swallowed. “Even…even that. I do not regret it.”

    Summary

    "You, for example, Captain, have been particularly edifying. Your grip on the bat recalls the early greats of the sport, while your stance is unlike any I have seen. It’s… fascinating."

    Spock looks at Jim head-on, then. The force of his gaze makes Jim’s throat run dry.

    “Fascinating, Mister Spock?”

    -
    Or, catcher Jim Kirk and pitcher S'chn T'gai Spock play for the San Francisco Stargazers in the 2262 baseball season, and manage to learn some things along the way.

    Summary

    They stay that way for a long time, Catra’s face tucked into Adora’s shoulder, Adora gently cradling Catra’s head. Adora is careful not to hug Catra too hard or make her feel restrained, anticipating the moment that Catra will start to pull away — but Catra doesn’t. She hangs on so tightly it hurts, her claws digging through Adora’s jacket and into her back, latching into her like she did when she was a kitten and didn’t know how much her claws could hurt. Adora tries not to wince, tries not to move a single muscle, worried that if she does the spell will break and Catra will struggle away, appalled at having shown weakness.

    But Catra doesn’t let go. And so neither does Adora.
