Summary
May had come by earlier. She stood in the door of his bunk, a dark silhouette. She had tilted her head questioningly and he had simply shaken his. She nodded curtly and left. She thought she knew why he had called it off. How could she know? The Cavalry would never get into the situation he had.
He had been trained to resist torture and mindgames. He had resisted torture a number of times. He had scars on the soles of his feet and peppered across his lower back to prove it. He shouldn’t be shaken like this.
“I’m going to give you a reward…”

Summary
In Paragon of Animals, former Psi Cop Byron Gordon stands up to Garibaldi:
"Do you know what a telepath has to do in order to avoid picking up stray thoughts? We have to kick down our natural abilities. Run rhymes and little songs through our heads, round and round. All that to keep from picking up what you're broadcasting loud enough to be heard halfway down the hall. ... Mundanes want us to fill our heads with noise and babble so we won't hear what you're shouting at the top of your minds."
To be a telepath in the mundane world is like living in the never-ending hell of Kurt Vonnegut's Harrison Bergeron, sometimes with physically dangerous consequences. Bester finds this out the first time he leaves Academy grounds.
After all, as it says in Deadly Relations, p. 58, when Al is attacked by a normal for the second time in two days, and this time decides to fight back: "Al came to the painful decision that he would have to break a regulation. He probably had already - [telepathically] pushing a normal, even in self-defense."

Today we explore the "bizarro world" of Earth Alliance tort law! Did you know someone's mere presence alone can be the basis for a lawsuit (if they're a telepath, that is)?

Summary
Part 5 of the "mini history lesson" series.
A crucial piece of the Earth Alliance agenda to "criminalize" telepathy - and thus to "regulate" telepaths as second class citizens - involved the re-imagining of telepathy as some form of "illicit sexual conduct." This chapter discusses that process and its consequences. This chapter does not discuss the actual canon examples of sexual assault (normals assaulting telepaths) - Behind the Gloves covers that material in later chapters.
Minor edits made for clarity on 6/27/22.

Let's talk about that attempted murder that Ivanova got away with.
Yes, that one. Back on Io Station.
(Hint: She totally threatens to do the same thing to Harriman Gray in "Eyes" later on. And also orders her subordinates to fire up the station's defense grid and blow Bester's ship out of the sky. And that's just what we know about.)
Edit 6/25/22: This was an early essay discussing the incident in question and fleshing it out with a short fic. I have also written a longer fic from the point of view of the investigating Psi Cop, here.)

Summary
It is a good thing that people don't know when they die. Everybody would go crazy otherwise. Steve didn't know when he was going to die, but thanks to some dark magic he knew how.
Love. The cause of Steve Rogers' death was going to be love.
Tony thought that Steve was pretty content with that. What a fitting death for Captain America. Dying for love.
The one word that told Tony how he was going to die wasn't nearly as romantic. It was scaring the hell out of him.

Summary
Steve makes a life-altering choice, and Bucky wakes up from cryostasis to better circumstances than he could anticipate: Mind free of triggers, name cleared, fully pardoned, and a ticket back to the USA. It's far more than he deserves, but with no other plans or ties, he finds himself relocating to the Avengers Initiative Compound alongside Stevie's rogue superheroes.
He begins establishing a new life - friends, work, maybe even love - but doesn't realize that the castles he is painstakingly building are ones in the sky.
---
"I... don't understand," Bucky admits in a murmur.
Stark's gaze drops to the silver-plated shoulder. "I fix things," he says. His fingers drum restlessly against his chest. "And this is something I broke. You shouldn't have to just live with the consequences when something can be done about it."

Summary
Kutone was once a successful businesswoman, an executive assistant who helped expand Joja Co.’s repertoire to the Republic-wide success it’s become. Then, she lost it all. She fell to the depths of modern life’s insanity. And she held on for as long as she could, but loneliness – self-inflicted and otherwise – leaves her empty, apathetic, and unalive. Her late grandfather, however, has left her a gift, a disused, overgrown, but fertile plot of river land, in the hopes of helping Kutone relearn kindness. But even as the peaceful days in Stardew Valley begin to heal her, the past rubs her scars wide open again…

It's the end of Fifth year for the Marauders, and they were bored. OWLs were done and they wanted to have some fun tormenting their favorite target. Severus Snape was the greasy dungeon bat, he was a loner and future death eater! He deserved all the actions coming to him.
However, things don't go according to plan.
Especially since Severus Snape has been keeping a secret almost her entire life.
Funny how things seem to change when one little detail happens to change.
