Summary
People do not offer you things; you take them. People do not give you space; you occupy it. People do not pause for you to speak; you shout over them. These are the rules. These have always been the rules. Anyone who says otherwise is selling something. But if you can't get what you want by following the rules, maybe it's time to try something different.
After leaving both Istredd and Geralt in Aedd Gynvael (for different but equally valid reasons), Yennefer refocusses her attention on her quest to cure herself of the infertility that Aretuza subjected her to and make herself whole again. She gets a good tip on a promising lead, but, aggravatingly, the path from here to motherhood seems cursed to cross her exes'. She finds herself in the unenviable position of trying to determine whether to retrieve her heart's desire at the cost of her pride, or to go without but remain stubbornly inviolate.
Because that's the only two options, right?

Summary
After the Parable spits him out into a peaceful new life, Stanley feels alone and struggles with the aftereffects of his previous life. The Parable was hurtful and strange, and his relationship with the Narrator was rough at best, but Stanley still misses him - and in some ways, the Parable itself - terribly. He’s plagued by nightmares, isolated, and upset by the silence that dominates his world.
At least until a familiar escape pod crashes into Stanley’s life. He's generally at peace with routine, but this shakeup promises to transform Stanley’s world. For the better…he hopes, if he works at it and if he doesn’t fuck it up. However, Stanley’s under-explored feelings and lacking impulse control threaten to put that path to a happier life in jeopardy unless he can figure out how to deal with his issues head-on.

Backyard Pool by charlottesometimes

Summary
Steve is disabled, and lives as a shut-in by choice. As long as he's in his perfectly handicapped-accessible house, he doesn't need any kind of help from anybody.
Bucky is a college kid with a past he doesn't like to remember, and he's the life of just about any party: Comes early and stays late. Going to class, though? There's really not time for that.
When Bucky realizes that the lushly landscaped, heated backyard pool abutting his college university's campus is never used, and seems to be attached to an empty house, he starts throwing parties there.
But … it's Steve's pool. And Steve catches them at it from the beginning.
He doesn't say anything. He doesn't mind. Watching their antics through a crack in the curtains is the most human contact Steve might ever be likely to have.

Summary
The whispers of his name grow into chants. Muad’Dib. Muad'Dib. Muad'Dib. She could kill a thousand men, and still the first one after would utter his name. It is pointless to run from it, to hide from it. She knows this. She does not bother with lying to herself about a truth as fundamental as this. She cannot escape him.
But for a time, life is simple.
And then it is not.
Or — Chani, in the aftermath.
