Summary
"Rocky did not understand human names and titles when we met. Eridian names longer, give information on Eridian's home, associations, skills." For the first time in ages, he positioned two of his arms together, forming the design that Grace thought of like a family crest, a single design bisected.
"You should teach me to read those before we get to Erid, so I can be polite." As Grace considered the linework, already picking up on some vague ideas from the shapes in Rocky's carapace, something else occurred to him. "So… I picked 'Rocky' because your outer shell looks like stone."
"And for inspirational story of athlete who defeats human system of poverty to become great champion. Eye of the tiger."
"Retroactively, yeah." Grace bent at the hips, getting to Rocky's 'eye' level. "So what'd you name me?"

Summary
Gurathin let out a small laugh, at himself and the situation. He’d been caught red-handed, or… something-handed, and he was so fucking predictable. Well, in for a cent, as they said in the CR.

Summary
When Daniil presents as a late-blooming omega, the only way to save his laboratory from scandal is to sever ties with it completely. An invitation from his old friend Isidor offers an escape - a new life in a remote, peaceful town and an arranged union with Isidor's dutiful son, Artemy. It's a miserable retreat from everything Daniil has worked to build, but worse is arriving to find that Isidor died shortly after writing to him.
Artemy is determined to honour his father's dying request and take care of Daniil. But he expected a grateful, compliant omega, not a man bitterly grieving his life's work and autonomy. With the town waiting for him to take his father's place and his adopted children fearing they might not have a place in his new life at all, can he use the same skills with which he heals living bodies to mend this broken home?

Summary
Without a cubicle to reset its endocrine system, Murderbot goes into heat. Gurathin would normally be the last person it would turn to for the kind of help it now needs, but he smells so good.
With him, at least I wasn't at risk of anything emotionally complicated.

Summary
“Relax,” Artemy tells him.
Dankovsky’s body obeys before his mind does. In fact, it had as soon as Artemy touched him.
“Do you get headaches often?”
Dankovsky grunts. “Don’t waste your diagnostics on me. There’s a plague.”
