Summary
Spanner was familiar with the parameters of crushing. He was, after all, an observant man. Movies, books, his sisters- they had all described to him the fluttering, unavoidable mash-up of hormonal and chemical reactions that made you physically unbalanced and mentally incapable. When he was six it had been terrifying. But now, being in the thrall of this highly manipulative feeling, Spanner could feel nothing but fascination.
(Or, how it's hard to express the difference between an obsession with robots and falling in love.)

Everything is different in Japan than from when they were in California, but the more time they spend together, the more it doesn't even matter.

Summary
Dorian is looking straight at him again with those psychic piercing eyes because God forbid Kennex have any embarrassing personal revelations without Dorian immediately there to make a face at him about it, like the android is simultaneously sad for him and also exasperated.

Summary
"I like you better with your glasses on."
Blinking, said frames slid down his nose again, leaving the barest peek of shining, dark irises over thick lenses, communicating an openness hardly seen in Inui's face before. "Really?"

Summary
When Shigure Kintoki slides into his hand, when his body moves in bursts, quick and silent, when the only thing he hears is his own breath in staccato rhythm and when the blade plays across smooth, uncut skin, Yamamoto doesn't think of things like morality. He doesn't think about Family or responsibilities or feel rage or guilt. Instead, his head is clear, and bright.

Summary
Sanji scowls behind his sunglasses. He’s draped in heat, under an umbrella in a bright patterned shirt, large waffle with a dollop of melting whipped cream and a coffee-stained mug on the table in front of him. Further out on the patio, a whole group of screaming kids jump into the pool in sonorous succession.
“Relaxing is a scam.”
Zoro gives him one of those multilayered grumpy looks.
“It’s fraudulent. We’ve been defrauded.”
~~~
Zoro and Sanji go undercover at a fancy resort to take on a mysterious enemy. What could go wrong?

Summary
Boba Fett likes to be in control. Din Djarin feels more out of control with every passing day. Giving control over to Boba would make both of them happy. Din just doesn't understand why that has to be so complicated.
(Or, rebuilding an entire culture is hard. Boba helps, more or less.)

It started with a message, a late-night visit, and a God of Mischief in Tony's bed. A story of trust, trickery, unwilling aid and inevitable attraction.

All Din wanted to do was find the Child a sorcerer teacher, pick up a job or two, and follow his Creed.
Three out of three is good, right? Right?

Summary
Jim Kirk is nine when a massacre on Tarsus IV leaves him without a family and without a home. Spock is twelve when a strange boy in the desert saves his sehlat. Families aren't born; they're made. The look in mother’s eyes at his correction remained a mystery long after the colors of the night sky and the complex patterns of distant nebulae had become translatable by means of distinct and relatively straightforward equations.
