The world hit her like a fall by a_big_apple

Summary
Gideon remembers the first time they stuck Harrow on the ice, in her matching puffy pants and coat and her sombre black helmet, like shoving a cranky baby rook out of the nest. She fell down immediately, and when none of the adults seemed about to step in and right her, Gideon did it herself. She could skate backward by then, so she took Harrow’s mittened hands and tugged her along in slow, endless circles. She remembers—or thinks she remembers, maybe it’s just her mind filling in from later examples—Harrow’s furrowed, pinched expression of furious concentration. She always hated needing help. More than she hated Gideon, maybe. But that day, for the few hours it took her to get her blades under her, she scowlingly accepted both.
Or, the figure skating AU that happens when I binge watch too much Grand Prix coverage.

Summary
The bag kept jostling, and there were more faint noises. But eventually – faster than he had time to really process what was happening, victim of fortune in a sack that he was – the bag was being supported from below by something irregular, and then he was rather gently tipped out from it, the bag sliding away until he’d lost all contact. The new surface was flat, and he was sprawled out on it as a tangled, ungainly knot of bones that did not quite know where it was.
And then there was a sound. Slightly fuzzy – blurry, maybe, with a strange timbre like he was the string in a child’s sound-wave experiment cup-and-string.
“Warden?” It sounded like home.

Palamedes Sextus is just a little bit stuck, not having a body that can talk. There's a lot that needs to be said before they can rest.

Undetonated by IShipThem

Summary
The operation to the Ninth House has been a failure to all involved. Commander Wake failed to deliver her bomb, and Gideon the First failed to kill her.
He did succeed, however, in stranding her broken shuttle.
Alone, drifting without thrust or communications in deep space, Wake has dwindling options. There’s a limited supply of oxygen and food. There’s no way to tell if rescue is coming.
And the cryochamber housing her undetonated bomb had to go and fucking break.
