when i wake from dreaming (tell me is it really love?)

by lizbian_dykely

“Well, first of all, I’m Carol,” the woman said. “I’m sure you have a lot of questions, probably some that I can’t answer, but I’ll do my best. Uh, where do you want to start? Do you want me to just… tell you what’s been going on for the past three months, or do you want to ask me specific questions and just let everything come up when it comes up?”  “Three months?” Zosia asked, shaken by this. She was still struggling to understand what Carol had to say, her English being a little less sharp than it usually was with her brain all foggy from apparently three months of lost time.  “I guess I’d better just come out and say it,” Carol said, taking a deep breath.  “Could you say it slowly?” Zosia asked.  “Yes, right,” Carol said. “Language barrier. Sorry. I’m used to you… to them being so fluent in… well, in everything.”  “This isn’t helping,” Zosia said.  “No, it wouldn’t be helping,” Carol said, self-efacing.   OR  carol finds a way to conditionally unplurb zosia and they get to know each other before the other plurb figure out what she's up to

a dash of spice

by KiriyaS

RenFengHeng Sequel to ‘turning salt into sugar’ FengHeng fic, but can stand alone.When Dan Feng collapses on a joint mission, Ren reflexively catches him and irritably carries him back to the Astral Express. He learns that Dan Feng and Dan Heng are f***ing when he sees their nest which shuts down his higher brain functions. Good thing he can take care of both Vidyadhara on autopilot with Yingxing’s muscle memory...

Point of It

by orphan_account

Jake isn't jealous, he's curious, he just needs to spend a little more time with the conundrum that is Ezekiel Jones (if this only happens after Ezekiel spends more time with Jenkins, well that's just a coincidence)

these hands fall right back into place

by Colourcodedbinders

He’d introduced himself casually, mentioned that he’s seen Peter around a couple of times, and Peter had smiled, repeated his name, his full name again, and reached a hand out for Ned to shake. Ned had taken it, because he’s not rude, and that’s when it had happened.OR Our bodies have a weird way of remembering things our conscious minds sometimes don't, and I personally find that fascinating.

The Heart May Forget

by lachrymosa (Dienamic)

The amnesia fic that no asked for. Also pls keep in mind that they're still nations and this isn't AU. Lolbye.As Feliciano Vargas takes a step out of the train station, it takes a minute for him to realize that this place isn’t Rome, not at all. Immediately, the white flags begin to wave –quite enthusiastically –in his brain or head, whichever for some absurd reason. Real Summary: Feli struggles with his missing memories and sleepwalking tendencies as an amnesiac. GerIta.

Underground Doll

by LeviTobias

In the sunless rot of the Underground, nine-year-old Levi Ackerman has nothing to his name but a stolen knife and a heart of flint. Then he finds Sakura—a girl with hair like a fever dream and eyes that have never seen the gray. She doesn't remember her past, but her body knows how to move like a weapon, and her fingers know exactly how to brush the hair from Levi's face. Levi doesn't understand kindness. He understands territory. He understands the sharp, jagged need to keep the only bright thing he's ever seen from being swallowed by the dark. He tells himself she's a liability. He tells himself she's just a stray. But every time his pulse spikes at the sound of her name, every time he draws blood to keep a stranger's eyes off her, the truth becomes clearer. He isn't just protecting her. He's hoarding her. And God help anyone who tries to take what belongs to him.
