Summary
There was a gift just outside the door. It was quaint, innocuous, and still perfectly sized to contain a small bomb.
Katana swallowed down the paralyzing dread, ignoring the way his heart beat, frenzied and uncontrollable. He wasn't going to be taking any chances.
-
Katana didn't think he'd last long after defecting from the cult- it had been a mostly impulsive decision. But when three well-meaning strangers take interest in their mysterious new neighbor, Katana comes to realize he's in it for the long run.

Summary
War. War never changes.
The world of man, consumed by the tides of war and atomic fire burned brightly. Until it was snuffed out by the tides of water, in which none survived.
Time passed, and new societies forged their place in the world. Societies not made up of humans, but oceanic creatures. They built cities, languages, and histories they called their own.
And just like their ancient predecessors, they fought. Wars, battles and skirmishes were fought over each and every little thing. The most devastating of which occurred after the rising of tides once more.
To most of the world’s inhabitants, the ocean was seen as a barrier. One that merely needed to be broken, whether by technological innovation or by force.
But below the surface lay the ruins of millennia old conflicts, and the shelters created to hide from them.
Life above water, for better or worse, was about to change.

Summary
A narrow escape is nothing unusual. There had been many in Lar'dha's career--from walking into his own trap as an Unblooded, to nearly losing a leg to a camouflaged crocodilian creature--but he'd never escaped death with a companion before. At least, not with a companion who wasn't a Yautja.
Her skills were undeniable, certainly, and denying her request to hunt the mastermind of their suffering wasn't something he was keen to do--it was personal, after all--but the question remained: what now? Even as an Elite, he didn't really know how to work together in a team anymore, effortless as it had felt at the time. But now it was different.
They could communicate. Coordinate.
Express themselves legibly. And that usually caused him conflict.
Nevermind he was noticing some... Strange and concerning behaviors in his companion, the serpent woman, Sjajende'kolii. Her containment had been much longer than his, her afflictions more intense and he could only guess as to what she'd been subjected to outside the walls of the holding cell, but if he knew anything, it was that even Yautja were not immune to certain... Traumas. They simply got used to it.
But she was not Yautja.

Summary
The man looked over the gathered students as he fiddled with some of the dials. "I think these young folks are going to be wonderful heroes."
"Of course we are!" Bakugo growled. "Ain't nothing that's going to stop us! And I'm gonna be the best of them!"
"Oh, yes, yes, of course! You know, I look at you all, and I think... one day, you're going to save the world."
Professor Haywire flipped a switch, and the machine started to hum ominously.
"It's just not going to be this one."

Ryan looked in disbelief at what stood petulantly without a suit on the office desk in front of her before she could open her mouth to form any sort of intelligent response.
“Um... I'm Dr. Ryan Bitton, Andromeda Initiative.”
“I have no idea what that is ke’sed,” said the VI, waving a three fingered holographic hand in front of her face. “Where is my grandson?”
K,” Ryan said in a loud, clear, voice in the commanding tone used to address a computer. “Where is Commander Senna’Nir vas Keelah Si’yah?”
“First Officer Commander Senna’Nir vas Keelah Si’yah is currently in the Quarian cryo-bay D-47. All vitals normal. Temperature at 77.2 degrees Kelvin. Would you like to initiate stasis termination, Dr. Ryan Bitton?”
“No,” she said firmly, in that same commanding tone.

Summary
“So your hot genius Zaunite roommate has been taking up all of your time and brainspace but it’s not a crush,” Caitlyn finalizes. “Makes sense to me. Super normal way to feel, Jayce.”
Jayce groans miserably.
“I know, I’m working on it,” he says. “I just want him to be comfortable. There’s been a lot of bad shit in our past. If I can show him that things can change here, I will.”Cait looks at him fondly. “That’s a very noble goal, Jayce.”
Jayce really, really wishes he could agree that any of his Viktor-related goals are noble. From where he sits, they’re all varying degrees of selfish, licentious, unrealistic, and horny.
-
Or: Viktor’s on exchange to Piltover from Zaun. Jayce is his assigned roommate. Everything else — well, that remains to be seen.
