Summary
It’s only because he’s waiting for it, hyper-focused on anything out of the ordinary, anything even the slightest bit off — that he catches it.
Daniel laughs in response to something Martín said, a half-funny joke about profiting off the clients they provide for — and his voice is slightly too breathy, his following remark slightly too slow. It’s nothing overly noticeable, but it’s there — and Merritt grinds his jaw shut as he turns the volume of the radio up and focuses.
It’s barely even there — only years of living with the man, despite the decade of distance between them all, have taught him how to recognise even the slightest differentiation. Daniel’s easy to read, once you get past the snappish remarks and dismissive arrogant air — his breathing is one of his biggest tells. He always speaks as though he’s about to run out of air in seconds, quick and rapid-fire and with an almost desperate undercurrent.
He doesn’t sound like that, now. He sounds wrong.

During a con, Daniel's drink gets laced with a "truth serum"-like drug. It makes for an... enlightening ride back.

Summary
Daniel was eight when he was diagnosed. Autism Spectrum Disorder, neat black letters stamped on a thin medical file.
His mum was the one that impressed upon him the importance of hiding it.
“People judge, tateleh,” she’d murmur, smoothing back his hair just a touch too lightly. “you can’t let them.”
And so he didn’t.
---
Danny's on the spectrum, and surprisingly, Merritt's not an asshole about it.

Summary
Captain Piett knows a man like him won’t have a grand career in the Imperial Navy, a nobody from an Outer Rim backwater who listens to his favorite engineering textbook to fall asleep and who can’t take the elevators on the Death Star without retching. It’s alright, he tells himself. Lack of ambition keeps you alive. And then he witnesses Darth Vader kill Grand Moff Tarkin.
Inspired by lautdalam’s bang the war-drums series. While torturing Leia aboard the Death Star Vader realizes she’s his daughter. From there, things slowly but surely spiral out of his control.
Warnings are at the end of Ch1.
