Summary
It's not like Robert has forgotten Valentine's Day exists. It's hard to not notice holidays as they come and go - they're writ large on advertising billboards, unavoidable in shops and storefronts, creeping into hero work. He's just resigned to it.
That is, until he gets into work and sees his desk.
///
Or: the Z-Team decide to show their dispatcher some love for the holiday.
(Could be read platonically or as polyteam)

Robert wakes up to a loud clang and yelling.
"Fucking - ey, bitch! The fuck's up with your fucking stove?"

Summary
Robert pinches his nose and groans. "I click over to Golem for two fucking minutes - what's this shit about releasing birds?"
"The fucking -" Visi groans, frustrated. "What's the name, the stupid birds everybody hates, the drones from the government."
His mouth opens and closes. Nothing comes out.
"Pigeons," Mal supplies. "She means pigeons."
///
A slice of post-canon's new normal. It's pretty similar to the old.

Summary
It happens, not that Dean knows it, just shy of the ninety-second thousand flower.
Here is the ritual: Dean had crumbled to the floor in the dungeon, After. He had stayed there until Sam tracked him down, and then briefly they sat together like tumbled-down pillars, the might of Greece and Rome worn down by grief and simple time.
And after Jack and Sam had gone to bed, Dean had slipped into Cas' room.
///
In short: Dean looks after his family, fills Cas' rooms with flowers he will never see, and doesn't realise that he's inventing a brand new solution to a problem they've been through once before.

Summary
Rocky visits Grace's life support quarters with some exciting news, some time into his recovery on Erid---the biodome habitat has finally been completed.
It takes a step through the airlock and sinks down into rough sand and pebbles. I chirp and hop down after it. Grace has not seen the biodome yet, but neither have I, and in my enthusiasm I dart slightly ahead.
Grace inhales so sharply that I turn to hear him better in a panic. “Grace? Grace, what is wrong? You are hurt?”
My assumption is quickly corrected when, without warning, it bolts.

Will we ever learn? (we’ve been here before) by Apollos_Last_Prophet

Summary
“Oh,” I sigh, rubbing still-shaking hands across my stubbly face because oh, that was so close. Too close. We were supposed to be done with the theatrics, with the life-and-death bullhonkey.
What the heck, universe? Not cool.
I don’t want to move for a bit. The siren song of dissociation calls my name, and honestly, I’m so, so chill with just sitting here for a second and decompressing and trying to remember all the breathing techniques I learned for my students, butー
But the lights are still flashing red, flashing with urgency and Mary is saying something and I have to drag my mind, kicking and screaming, back to focusー
“-ected. Toxic gas in Laboratory detected. Toxic gas in Laboratory-” Mary drones, and once it clicks into place the cold sweat is backー
Oh god noー
The banging noise. The gas leak. The lab.
Rocky.

Summary
Within the tight quarters of the Hail Mary, misunderstandings, arguments, and accidents are bound to happen. It's especially unfortunate when all three happen at once.

Summary
“Adrian will understand,” Rocky says confidently. “Will be excited to meet alien. Will be excited to meet person who brought me home.”
“Yeah, and I'm excited to meet them too, but after that!” Is this a translation error? A cultural miscommunication? How is Rocky not getting it? “You're partners. They're not going to want some alien around while you're, like… going on dates and all that.”
“Does not mean no time for Grace.” Rocky’s starting to sound frustrated. Part of me feels bad, but the rest is just as frustrated. “Why think this, question? On Earth, just abandon friends when have mate, question?”
It's so clearly a rhetorical question, to which the answer is obviously supposed to be no, of course not. I freeze up anyway.

Summary
Rocky knows that Grace is considered an adult for his species, but his hindbrain goes crazy when he finds out he’s in his 30s. So that’s why he’s been feeling weirder than normal. His alpha instincts think Grace is a pebble.
