Summary
For every trial, for every task,
there is a corresponding mask.
A frown, a smirk, a pout, a grin,
They shield the soul contained therein.
But masks and faces, and manners too,
disguise the single face that’s true.
The face that’s under the facade,
the one the foolish, charmed and awed,
profess to see, to claim to know,
although they’ve never seen it show.
And so they pry through charm and guile,
in hopes to see what’s ‘neath that smile.
However, they are unaware,
that mask and face are not a pair.
For those that pry soon come to find
they don’t like what’s hiding behind,
because the face once locked within,
might not be that charming grin.
And thus the wise are dread to ask
to see what’s there beneath the mask.

The delightful, slow-paced 1930s Human!Alastor AU (though he may not be fully human) in which he summons Charlie to help him solve a series of murders and everyone and their mothers are hiding something. Ch 62.

Summary
“What are you talking about?” Grace's fingers played quick chords as he spoke. He didn’t even look as he did it, but it did not make them any less purposeful.
“Discussing possible reasons why Tau Ceti is not infected while other stars are,” Eva replied deftly. “I would invite you to join, but we were just finishing—”
“Oh, that’s easy.” His hand twisted a knob, and the notes came out sharper. “It is infected—Petrova Line and everything.”
In Grace's opinion, dreaming about time traveling is no excuse for getting out of practice with his Eridian. To the rest of the Petrova Taskforce, it seems a bit odd that their resident Astrophage expert has suddenly taken to carrying a keyboard around and playing it whenever he speaks. Eva Stratt resolves to figure out what is going on.

The one where Grace goes back in time to before the launch after living a lifetime in Erid. But it's not a tragedy bc Rocky came back too! And now the ship is fully stocked with things they'll actually need during the mission and the journey! Great stuff all around. Also, great multimedia add-ons. (I only hope Grace and Rocky aren't destined to keep reliving their lives and this situation over and over again) Ch. 15

Bookmarker's Notes
A more heartbreaking version of the canon slow-burn adoption, told through Otose's pov. Shinpachi's dad is still alive and Obi-One is still with them, two facts that fill me with dread for the rest of the story. On the other hand, Sadaharu, Catherine, Tama and Zura are here too, and thus Gintoki slowly learns how to heal ever more each chapter. Ch 10.
