Summary
“You like the holidays, or naw?” Nik asks you, mid-breakfast and out of the blue.
You’re sifting through the mail. Bills, bills, accursed diadem, coupon book.
“They’re… all right,” you answer noncommittally, trying to read his expression.
From inside the kitchen, Cal answers against the white noise of frying oil, “Well, I’m still gettin’ you both something, so, we’re not even playing that.”
a Nightbound holiday special!! since we never got one for real ): haha.
(could be interpreted as MC/Nik, or MC/Cal, orrrrr Nik/Cal/MC all together!!)

Summary
You don’t even know where he’s taking you. Colt just showed up in the garage — while you and Ximena were both drying your gel nail polish under a giant UV light of Toby’s that’s probably less-than-safe for human use — and waited his turn to speak, in uncharacteristic politeness. Asked in an almost formal tone if you were doing anything tonight.

Summary
The nightmares come back like fruiting branches, seasonal and ripening and weighted. Richie has the weird recurring dream where he cuts off all his own fingers and they each turn into those foamy circus peanut candies. He dreams of being at the bottom of a lake with a cement block and a Kick Me sign attached. He dreams of being on the moon unwillingly, just looking out to the sudden and lonely sight of Earth far away.
He dreams of Eddie, always shaded in a half-light and metaphysically beckoning him somewhere. Those ones never make him feel afraid until he wakes up.
a few short vignettes about these two Losers through the decades

Summary
"They've a kettle in the employee-access kitchen for traditional boiling that I find much more direct than synthesizing. I can put it on for you, if you like." Sol offers helpfully, but neutrally, without a smile.
Harrington changes color again, pink blooming across him and threatening to redden.
"I am an employee of the Atlas." His eyes narrow; “…and of course I know how to boil water."
"Ah! Congratulations!" Sol says, being genuine, about the first news.
Harrington screws up his face like it’s on a drawstring.
an AU set more than a year prior to the events of ATV (in which Beckett's metal powers are for space alien reasons, lmao)

Summary
Worf’s own desire has only ever been a pulled arrow with a taut string. Better to wrestle it to the mat, to cover it up with ceremony and tradition and a self-denial so instinctive he doesn't remember life without it.
or: how Worf finally stopped getting in his own way.

Bookmarker's Notes
In the doorway Hooper is faded and paler than before, beard trimmed a little neater, eyes a little more shadowed. He smells like ink — like fresh typewriter ribbons — and when he ushers Martin in it's a reflex to say something like, you're not looking too bad.

He vaguely thinks they oughta be quiet but can't recollect why, he laughs instead, listening and feeling Nick finish for so long it must be lobotomizing.

Summary
Bill places a hand on Dipper's shoulder. "In my dimension," he says, "there are fourteen billion different genders. I identify as none of them! Gender is useless and unnecessary. For me, I mean. I know it's not for you."
(Dipper and Bill bond reluctantly over the one thing they have in common - being trans.)

Bookmarker's Notes
"You're right," Bill says. "I don't. I just wanted to tell you that if you ever have any questions, you can talk to me!"
"Why would I want to talk to you? Remember when you, like, embedded forks into my arm and stuff?"
"Yeah, yeah. Don't get so hung up on that."
