this space between your ribs and mine by sterling (hypotheticals)

Summary
Castorice wanted many things. She wanted the black tide's cruel advance to halt. She wanted peace and for the sunlight's embrace to hold every person. She wanted to press her palm against Enna's chest and feel her warmth and heartbeat wash over her, pretend that they weren't what they were and that everything was different.
She wanted to save her. She wanted to hold her. She wanted to be with her. She wanted to let her go and to keep her impossibly close, wanted to imagine for just a moment a future with her that did not end in tragedy.
Unconsciously, Castorice's hand lifted, trembling. It hovered in the scant space between them, and like this, she could feel the warmth radiating from Enna's palm. A trick of her mind, perhaps, but then again, all of this was. Right now, nothing mattered except the way Enna was looking at her, waiting for Castorice's answer like it was the only thing in the world worth waiting for.
Or: A dream, a dance, a confession.

Summary
Now, Bopi had seen Nom cry before—small frustrations, a stubbed toe, getting startled by studio noise. Those cries were loud, explosive, fussy things, the kind you could expect from eight-year-olds who were left to have the run of a studio. Everest usually handled those well, fixing whatever thing had set Nom off like grown-ups do, or Bopi would try to help out as best she could, and then Nom would bounce back as quickly as he started crying, cheerful and mischievous as ever.
Looking at the quiet, crumpled heap of purple fur and denim overalls on the studio floor, Bopi didn't need much thought to know that this was different, and that something was very wrong.

Summary
"Good night," Kel murmurs. "I love you." The words hang in the air, scarcely louder than a breath.
Inhale. Kel stays right where they are, unmoving, as if considering whether they want to leave at all. They could stay just like this until the morning comes, watch Eiland's eyes flutter open to the sight of them, and wonder what his first thoughts of the day would be, seeing them like this.
Exhale. But it's been a long day for them as well. There's a bed out there calling their name, and Eiland should sleep without someone hovering over him. They straighten and force their fingers to let go of his shoulders. That's enough. You've done enough.

Summary
The morning is something of a cycle, as well, but it is a far kinder one than anything else they'd already been through. For the next hour, they'll do the same things that they did yesterday and the days before that, and they'll do it over and over again as they head onwards to the future they've been building for themselves.
Phainon, Mydei, Anaxa, and a sunny morning.

Summary
The pad of his thumb is warm, a stark contrast to the icy air. It traces the path of a melted flake down Veire’s cheek, leaving embers in its wake. Sylus’s gaze is intent, utterly absorbed.
Veire leans into the touch, the warmth of Sylus’s touch a stark contrast to the cold wind biting at his skin. “Is there something on my face?” he teases softly, though his heart gives a traitorous thump against his ribcage.

never dying, is that what you all are striving for? by piqu3d for browneyedgenius
Fandoms: Project Hail Mary - Andy Weir, Project Hail Mary (2026)

Summary
The Hail Mary lands back on Earth carrying a middle school teacher and the alien microorganism that will save the world. Thousands of miles away, Eva Stratt watches her lead scientist kiss the ground through a grainy TV screen. Deep in prison with bruises littering her skin, she thinks it's all right that she'll die here, because humanity will persevere. Her job is done, so the rest of her life doesn't matter in the grand scheme. She deserves the hell she lives in.
Ryland Grace disagrees.

Summary
Ryland in space doesn’t remember who he is. Wakes up in greyscale, roaming around the steel of the Hail Mary, a gaping hole in his memory.
He dreams in colour sometimes. Auburn, sienna, cream. A particular shade of pink.

Summary
I've turned this work into a series because I've realised it made more sense than keeping to one huge work.
The first installation focuses on the summer of Year 4 and the murder mystery. The part featuring the actual school year will come after and there will be a few one shots in the middle.

Summary
“Rook.” Vil holds the gift up immediately, letting the pendant fall from his fingers to dangle from the coiled silver chain.
His Vice-Housewarden stands and steps over their stacks to crouch next to Vil and hold the stone in a gloved palm. “An amethyst, Roi du Poison?”
At first glance, it would appear to be a large amethyst inlaid into silver backing. However, the longer Vil stares at it, the more certain he is. “No.” He’s positive. “It’s a diamond.”

Summary
It’s not often Vil wakes up in the middle of the night. He’s quite happy with his ability to get good undisturbed sleep. But even Vil is not immune to needing a trip to the bathroom, or a temperature change making him stir in his sleep. Or in the current case: a visitor.
One whose cold-blooded self needs something else to keep him warm for the night.
