Summary
Shane’s eyes snap open. Wait a second.
“Ilya,” Shane says, propping himself up on his elbows. “Ilya, wake up.”
Ilya makes a pained noise, eyes still shut. “I shut curtains already.”
“It’s not that. Ilya, hey. Don’t go back to sleep.” Ilya tries to bury back into Shane’s chest, but adrenaline knifes through Shane’s hangover long enough for him to peel Ilya off and roll him into his back. Ilya blinks blearily up at him, starfished in the sheets. Beautiful and naked and missing his mother’s cross.
OR: When Ilya’s cross goes missing after the Centaurs celebrate their first Stanley Cup win, Shane is determined to get it back. And so are the Centaurs. And the rest of Ottawa.

Summary
Lex’s fingers trail down his scalp, stroking the nape of Kon’s neck with his nails. He shivers. “Kon, it’s not a secret that Superman and I are not friends, but you don’t think I would bring his child into our disagreements, do you? You wear his emblem, and yet we don’t let that get between us.”
Of course, Kon thinks. Jon is still a middle schooler. Too young for Lex to look at him with rage, the same way he looks at Superman (or with hunger, the way he looks at Kon). He still feels weird that Lex knows Jon exists.
OR: Kon thinks of Jon like a brother. He would do anything for the kid—anything except tell Jon that he’s been hooking up with Lex Luthor for the better part of a year.
Kon knows Lex isn’t a good guy, but he’s the only adult that Kon can turn to. Mount Justice has become too big and too empty, and Lex is always there to comfort him whenever he needs. No one would understand, Lex says, and so Kon will keep this secret from everyone. Even his team. Even Jon.

Summary
“I’m fine.” I swallow. My mouth is dry and my tongue feels too big for my mouth. “Just… stay with me?”
Rocky presses a claw against the xenonite, just below my fingers. “Yes. I will watch you sleep."
(OR: After Grace remembers how he came to be on the Hail Mary, he’s plagued with nightmares. Weak and sick from vitamin- deficiency after running out of coma-slurry, the nightmares reach a new fever pitch.)

Summary
“Oh,” Mensah said.
I followed her gaze to her lion daemon. Sadik was so large he took up most of the rug and dwarfed the coffee table where, I realised with a jolt, my own little beast had been hiding.
I rounded the coffee table. Beast had buried itself deep in Sadik’s mane, pressed up against his neck. It blinked back at me slowly, almost smug, and then pressed even further against Sadik. Another fission of heat ran through my chest, like I’d been made to swallow hot coals.
(OR: A touch-averse Murderbot learns to live with a touch-seeking daemon.)

Summary
SecUnit is staring at him. Ratthi accidentally makes eye contact again, and its gaze doesn’t dart away like it normally does. It stays locked onto his. Deliberately maintaining the eye contact.
Ratthi flexes his hands. His skin is tacky with fluids and the webs of his fingers stick together. “You’re really worrying me, SecUnit. Talk to me. Tell me you’re okay.”
“I’m okay,” SecUnit says immediately.
(OR: After Murderbot is attacked by the company and has its governor module switched back on, it can’t speak freely to ask for help. It takes its friends a while to notice.)

Summary
Every screen in the room blazed with the same breaking news feed. An alien voice had just asked for him by name on live television.
“Mr. Grace?” little Jamal whispered from the front row, eyes huge behind his glasses. “Is that really you they’re talking about? Like, you you?”
Ryland’s mouth opened, but nothing came out. His heart slammed against his ribs like it wanted to escape and hide under the desk with the class hamster. He was just Mr. Grace. The guy who drew cartoon planets on the board, who stayed late helping kids glue together messy dioramas of the solar system, who once spent an entire lunch period comforting a sobbing girl because her goldfish had “gone to the great fishbowl in the sky.” He graded spelling tests on vocabulary words like photosynthesis and asteroid. Aliens did not know his name. Aliens did not ask for science teachers.
The marker slipped from his fingers and clattered to the floor.

Petulantly, Rocky says, “Grace sound stupid. Like child.”

Bookmarker's Notes
And Ilya’s come to terms with it, he really has. He knows he will have to settle for sounding stupid and having stunted language to express himself for the rest of his life. He’s exiled from the only place in the world where anyone would understand the words he wants to say, exiled from the ground that holds the body of the person who taught him the words in the first place-
And Shane always has a hard time interpreting what people mean. He takes things personally, literally, and internalizes them. Ilya says he’s tired, so Shane, with his cute little nose scrunched up and his big, beautiful dark eyes that are so fucking sad, thinks Ilya means it’s about him.
But Ilya can’t even put his own thoughts into speech right now, let alone Shane’s.
So the words don’t come.
