Summary
In a world where every man's soul can be seen, named, and even spoken to, Ahab remains a mystery. Starbuck - and his steady shearwater daemon - understand too much, or just enough.

Summary
I know you must be angry and upset with me. You have every right to be, and I can't even apologize, because if I had made other choices, I wouldn't have you. So I can't ever be sorry. I want you not to be sorry either.
*
The morning after the fighting, he'd told me earnestly that she'd made a terrible mistake and she'd apologized to him and asked him to forgive her and he had, and I'd nearly gnashed his entire face off in a frothing rage.

Deeper Wonders than the Waves by vibishan for the_alchemist

Summary
The first moment his one remaining foot comes down on solid land, his guts roll like frenzied eels. Ahab has not suffered such rumblings of rebellion from his stomach in a dozen years. Ahab’s gorge did not rise when his leg was torn away, nor when the ragged end cauterized with iron to save his life’s blood pouring out, and he smelled the scorch of his own ill-butchered meat.
But now the blunt, grimy jumble of the street cobbles seems to reject him, only for his dismasted, unbalanced body to reject it in turn. The eternal roll of waves in his blood crashes against the rock of that simple step and then plunges back into his depths, leaving him haloed round with sick miasma as the sea air encompasses the hanging weight of invisible brine.

In Every Light and Season by vibishan for Halane

Summary
It’s almost dawn when the noise subsides back down to sulky, miserable, exhausted little wimpers, and Jiang Cheng manages to get the talisman to take them back. He’s expecting the dock in the family quarters to be empty, at this time - Wei Wuxian is no more likely to be up early than he ever was, and Wen Qing is still recovering her strength from her time in the Burial Mounds as well.
But she’s there - not sleeping, not tending to his brother’s weakness in the aftermath of giving up Demonic Cultivation. A strange figure, thin as the reeds, wan in the gray early light, fierce and striking.
“I made paste,” she says, before he can ask, as he steps out of the boat. She looks as tired as he feels.

Summary
“I’m supposed to be relaxing,” is what I say. Simon’s eyebrows furrow at my words.
“You don’t seem very relaxed.”
“Oh yeah? What do I seem like?”
He hesitates for a few seconds. Something dark flickers in his gaze.
“You seem wild,” he says quietly.
***
Dr. Ryland Grace is a talented, hardworking scientist—but just like anybody else, he sometimes gets stressed and needs to blow off some steam.
One day, on the Hail Mary, Simon catches Grace in one of these moments.Series

Summary
"Grace clicks his tongue. 'You know, Simon, in my classroom I expect a certain amount of decorum. Students need to know how to control themselves, despite anything that might cause excitement or…distraction.'”

In which Simon kind of, sort of, really likes that Grace is a teacher.

Summary
“Don’t let the blood get into your ship, okay?”
That made Grace pause. “What?!”
“If I die, you have to get my body out of here,” the man pleaded, but Grace had to go. His oxygen was out. The guy would be dead in six minutes. “You have to get me out, even if I’m dead. Hey!”
“Just hold on!” Grace propelled himself through zero gravity, away from the radio.
“Don’t leave me here-!” The roar echoed through the ship halls.
---
When Ryland Grace complained about being a little bored, maybe a little lonely, he thought a nostalgic trip around Erid would fix him right up. The last thing he expected was to find deadly space bacteria in deep space and a human. Alive.

To Sacrifice it All by Ashiah

Summary
Considering everything that had happened recently, Grace was pretty confident that there was little that could genuinely surprise him anymore.
In what had felt like a whirlwind, he’d been hand-selected to be the first human to study alien life, even if at that point it was because he had been seen and expendable. His entire life was uprooted shortly after for becoming a little too important in studying said alien life form. Then, waking up several years later and several light-years away from Earth with two corpses who were supposed to be his crewmates. Then, to top it all off, he’d encountered Rocky, a whole new type of intelligent life form who was here at Tau Ceti with the same goal as him. To save their dying stars.
Yet all that confidence went out to airlock as he stared up at the blinking console, the ship’s monotone alert ringing out. “Radio Transmission in Progress, Accept Transmission? Y/N”
