    Summary

    “Sometimes, I feel like my eyes are seeing things just fine and the information’s getting hijacked before it gets to my brain. My perception interrupted.” With a touch of whimsy, he adds, “A man in the middle attack on my mind.”

    “Perception is a tool that’s pointed on both ends,” says Hannibal and it sounds like agreement. “Tell me, Will. What do you think you ought to be seeing?”

    He knows what Hannibal wants him to say. He doesn’t say it.

    Summary

    Hannibal is very possessive of Will.

    It might have something to do with the fact that he’s a centuries old demon.

    Summary

    I lived with this hunger long before the Hail Mary. This is nothing new. I’m fine.

    Right up until Rocky asks another question.

    “When last time you touch other human person skin, question?”

    Oh. Oh no. “When I… a few days after I first woke up here.”

    Rocky starts to relax for a split second, but then tightens when something occurs to him.

    “Grace crewmates dead when you wake up. You said this, statement. You not even know your own name, remember nothing, see dead bodies, confirm?”

    I nod, because if I open my mouth I will gag.

    “When last time Grace touch ALIVE human person, question.”

    I swallow thickly. I don’t answer aloud because I know Rocky can hear the hitch in my breath. My stomach churns with fresh bile. He senses my vital signs tick over into stress patterns and goes very, very still again.

    “Grace. When last time, question.”

    I clench my jaw so hard my temples ache, and beg him with my eyes to just stop.

    “Grace. Please say not when… when Evil Stratt humans put you to sleep.”

    I can taste grass.

    ---

    AKA: Grace starves for more than just food on the journey to Erid.

    Summary

    “Eva Stratt, you are under arrest.”

    She wonders what they’ll charge her with as they place the handcuffs around her wrists. Environmental destruction, certainly. Extortion and racketeering? Probably. Someone could make the case for smuggling—it would be interesting if they got her on piracy. She turns to give her final good-byes, and her heart stops.

    “Ryland Grace, you are under arrest.”

    OR

    Eva Stratt was prepared to be the world's scapegoat. She'd angered too many people and skirted too many rules not to be. She didn't expect Ryland Grace to get arrested right alongside her.

    Summary

    “What is a ‘field trip’?”   

    The unexpected question makes me stop in my tracks. I stumble over my own two feet and almost bite my own tongue which is a new low, even for me. If I keep going like this I am never going to beat the clumsy human allegations. At least Rocky is not here. If he’d witnessed my latest embarrassing blunder he would have found ways to tease me about it for a week straight. It’s unfortunate that my class has to see me like this but they are a lot more forgiving and understanding of their ungraceful teacher than my best friend. A fact I like to hold over his head from time to time. 

    Not that he cares. He maintains that he’s earned the right to mock me as much as he likes after having to watch me stumble and fall repeatedly over the same threshold for four years. 

    And maybe he’s not wrong. 

    Don’t ever tell him I said that.

    ********

    There is no way Grace can take the pebbles on a field trip. At least not without help.

    Summary

    The Eridian thrills a high sound that doesn’t get picked up by the translator which means that it has no clear meaning. Like when a human gasps or sucks in a deep breath. It actually sounds a little like that. When they notice that I’m staring straight at them they scramble back into their hiding spot and hold very still. 

    A child, I realize with a start.

    That’s a child! 

    “Hey,” I call and the kid squeaks again. I was about to get to my feet but abort the movement and crawl closer on my hands and knees until I'm inches away from the xenonite wall. I wait and it takes me much too long to realize that they don’t have to peek around the corner to see if I’m still there.

    “Hey there,” I try again, my voice low and calm. It’s my teacher voice, the one I use for shy and scared students. 

    Used. 

    The fact that I haven’t had to use it for years and it still comes to me automatically almost knocks the air out of my lungs but this is not about me, it’s about making sure the little pebble doesn’t die of fright from the scary alien. “Hi, I’m Grace. It’s alright, you don’t have to be scared.”

    Mickey is sent on death trips everyday, he has yet to survive one, until he did.

    Summary

    ♪So humans do not need to care about viruses, question?♪

    “Well… we do need to care a little. Some viruses cause more severe infections than others. Influenza, for example, is pretty inconvenient for most people. It can cause nausea, fever, nose leaking, aches, coughing, and more. It can even be deadly for people with weak immune systems, like children or the very old. We definitely take it seriously when someone vulnerable gets infected. Influenza is one of the diseases we vaccinate for. Who remembers what vaccination is?”

    The entire class raised their claws. Grace facepalmed.

    “Right, duh. Forget I asked.”

    ♪Cannot forget.♪ Someone chimed, eliciting several giggling thrills.

    OR

    Ryland Grace has an annoyingly short lifespan by Eridian standards. Rocky fix. Good thing Grace is there to teach the Eridians everything they need to know about human biology.

    Between Grace's scant first aid and the nanny bot they managed to get the man mostly stable, tucked into Grace's bed and completely dead to the world for the past few days.

    It's the same man currently trying to kill him.
     

    or, the Eridians find a man covered in blood and Grace hasn't been able to care for something in far too long.

    Summary

    Above the motel, the streetlights bathed the parking lot in a warm yellow hue, dulling the wind's bite blowing off the prairie. This wasn't the first time Dean had ended up in the middle of buttfuck nowhere responsible for more that could be asked of him; the sign leading into town read 'A Great Place to Live' in weather-worn paint. Looking at the greasy tinted glass of the front office, Dean had a hard time believing that.

     

    Or- Going back to live with his father after spending time at Sonny's Boys' Home, Dean realizes that he and Sam need to get away from John's care. In an attempt to run away from their dad's abusive house, Dean takes Sam across the state of South Dakota to find refuge with their family friend, Bobby.

    Summary

    Just after his eleventh birthday, Sam Winchester received a letter dropped off by an owl of all things. Dean Winchester knew two things: First, their dad would absolutely kill a wizard, even if he was family, and second, this Ilvermorny place was not far enough away from their father by any stretch of the imagination.

    Harry Potter chose a very important train compartment on his first ride to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. There was a small boy sitting alone in the compartment reading, and this boy had on his person three knives and a bottle of holy water. Harry Potter had found his people.

    Severus Snape thought he must be extremely unlucky to be the only faculty member at the school who had a muggle landline phone at his summer residence…unlucky, but also so very thankful. Because after countless shocking, concerning, and frankly bizarre calls from one of his students’ guardians each summer, a Dean Winchester, well, Severus’s life was taking on a completely new and welcome direction.

    Summary

    Dean really should not be meeting a fae lord in the forest, no matter how handsome he is. What he should do is his job. He should get rid of Cas. Permanently, if his father has anything to say about it.

    Cas has probably got him under some kinda spell. That's gotta be why he's being such an idiot about this. What else could it be?
