Summary
This was a chance to take a break and explore. There's no Imperial presence on this planet.
Technically, that's not a lie.
He runs a hand through his hair and finally calls the Mantis.
“Hey, Cere, I found something. It looks like the entrance to an old Imperial facility. It’s built into the mountain.”
“Interesting that nothing came up on my scans. Is there a landing pad nearby?”
“Nope. Also, there’s no way to get here on foot unless you really, really like climbing.” He pauses. “And jumping. And getting covered in mud.”
“…Cal,” she sighs in exasperation. “I told you to turn back if that happened, and now you’re at an Imperial base.”
“It’s not a base, if that helps.”
“It doesn’t.”
“I got curious,” Cal says with a shrug. Cere mutters something that sounds suspiciously like, I should’ve known. “Can’t get back the same way I came, though. It was a bit tricky getting here in the first place. I’m going to have to go through the facility. Looks pretty abandoned. I’m sure it’s fine.”
“Famous last words!” Greez shouts.

Summary
They migrate between beds like some sort of strange, three-bodied alien, always pressed together in tangled limbs and huffed laughter and gentle teasing. It works, somehow, and days turn into weeks turn into months, and for the first time ever, Elphaba thinks--hopes--suspects--she might not be alone
OR
None of them were supposed to interact at Shiz. They should've been separate, should never have even crossed paths, really, but they did and they can't change that and to be honest, they wouldn't do it even if they could. What they have is too good to be stopped by little things like society.

Summary
Hamlet shudders in Horatio's arms, his low cry a blessing. The unseen linden-leaves shake, wild with wanting.
“Are you afraid?” Horatio gasps, his fingers fanned like wings in Hamlet's dark hair.
Hamlet nods, smile disarmed, pressing their foreheads together. “But what of that?”
It's then that Horatio knows his faith is branch and nest enough, whatever horrors may yet come to haunt them.

the bookstore at the corner of 14th and fen by kbots

Summary
The bookstore at the corner of 14th and Fen is known for many things. It’s known, firstly, for the books, which makes a certain amount of sense for a bookstore, if you think about it. The place is positively crammed with books, from floor to ceiling, filling shelves and sitting in neat piles in all the nooks and crannies. Books, books, books: books so old they’re practically falling apart, with dog-eared pages and notes scribbled in the margins, and books that are brand new, the covers shiny, the paper white, and the spines barely creased. There are so many books filling the shelves of the Corner Bookstore that the entire place smells of paper and ink, of stories, the way a bookstore should.
This is a story about an introverted bookstore owner meeting the artist who works at the flower shop across the street (and his magician daughter). This is a story about books, plants, awkward conversations and quiet friendships, a story about a stray cat, finding your people, and slowly, slowly, falling in love.
