Summary:

Shared dinner, and dropped intimations.



Oblique References

Natalie settled in the small eatery, and tried hard to relax. She had no idea why the captain had asked for an informal meeting. Nothing Captain Cohen — Amanda, as she'd been told — had said indicated what this was about.

"Family's visiting others, and I didn't want to cook for one," Amanda began once the food had come. "I thought taking advantage of my one night off, and yours, could let us get to know where we stand a little better."

Ahh, there it was. Internal police politics or fishing for dirt, Natalie thought.

"I appreciate the invitation, and this is good Italian," Natalie said neutrally.

"I like all the garlic," Amanda said, with a quick look at Natalie.

Oh. Oh no.

"A bit like Schanke in that, thought I try not to breathe it everywhere."

Natalie laughed, making herself relax back from the worry over Nick. "I keep giving him mints, cinnamon gum… he doesn't take the hint."

"Maybe he uses it to keep some people at a distance," Amanda told her blandly.

Was she on about Nick in the most oblique way possible? Nick had confided in her that Joe had known, or at least guessed enough to choose to work with Nick's restrictions.

"Still, he's a good detective, and works well with Knight, despite Knight's habits."

"Nick, his medical exemptions…" Natalie mused, trying to pin this down one way or another.

"Yes, those." Amanda met Natalie's eyes across the table. "An admirable detective who has managed to make those work for him.

"I'm glad he has a doctor like yourself, even if not a physician, to keep him from going too far."

"I try," and Natalie had to let it rest with that, enjoying their meal while she decided if Nick needed warned.

"I appreciate you doing it."

Summary:

Cassiopeia is there when Athena wakes.



Chosen Family

Cassiopeia was sitting by the berth when Athena came to, something that tried to spark worry and affection both in the injured woman's heart.

"I made Apollo and Starbuck go sleep. The commander is probably still working," Cassiopeia said very softly. "You remember? Sometimes people don't but you didn't immediately try to move."

"I saw my death coming right at me; hard to forget," Athena answered, realizing that they had to have used precious pain-blocking injections for her not to hurt more than a dull ache.

"You need to sleep, as much as you can, and let us take care of you. We brought you to quarters to clear medbay, and one of us will be with you always until we know how you are recovering," Cassiopeia told her.

Athena felt the ridiculousness of Starbuck's paramour being her keeper chase through her mind, and discarded that as lacking in kindness.

"I appreciate it, Cassie."

The other woman smiled a little for the diminutive epithet. "Well, family gets to use that," she said with the smile still in place. "And we are, so." Cassiopeia moved to help Athena sip water through a straw, as Athena was weighing that.

Yes, they were.

Fandom: Dungeons & Dragons [Cartoon]
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Characters: Hank the Ranger [Dungeons & Dragons Cartoon], Diana the Acrobat [Dungeons & Dragons Cartoon]
Additional Tags: Triple Drabble, Slice of Life
Summary:

Hank and Diana have a visit.



Catching Up

Hank's face lit up as he saw Diana carrying a single piece of luggage walking toward him. He reached his hands out to her, and she stepped into his space for a quick hug with her free arm going around him. Hank would have liked to hold her longer, but they should get going.

"How have you been?" Diana asked before he could, and he gave a small snort.

"Tired? Overworked? Underpaid? So, the same."

She laughed with him, walking beside him out to the parking lot. He didn't insult her by trying to take the bag, though she was probably less prickly on that than Sheila could be sometimes. He did open the door for her to stow it, and then her door for her to get in. Once he was behind the wheel and navigating the parking lot out, he spoke again.

"It is good to see you. I haven't managed a visit with anyone since Eric and I went to that one game together."

"I saw Bobby a month ago," Diana said, "but it is getting harder and harder to get away responsibility."

He covered her hand on the seat between them, squeezing a bit, before putting it back on the wheel.

"I wish we all lived closer. Or…" He cut himself off, holding his wishes in his heart.

"Or that we could have made a life there, together, given tha tit all changed us to the point our families here were strangers?"

As ever, Diana's observations cut through to the crux of it.

"Yes, all of that."

"Wishes don't work here," Diana said softly. "But, maybe someday, life will guide us all closer. Until then, we use what we learned to help others here."

Hank nodded with a soft sigh. That was all they could do.

Summary:

The Rowan, on music



Musical Choices

Sometimes, the Rowan would find a recording of the show she had attended with Goswina and the others of that class, her mood pouring over the unpleasantness of the aftermath, and the ultimate joy it had brought her in one Afra Lyon, Goswina's little brother.

Other days, she would put music on, purposefully choosing subdued vocals and music with subtle harmonies, to avoid any of the more robust, loud music that Siglen had preferred. Her teacher had been as loud in her music tastes as in her choices of decor.

The Rowan had long since chosen to be quite different.

Supporting Change (100 words) by Sharpest_Asp
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Ted Lasso [TV]
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Characters: Keeley Jones
Additional Tags: Drabble, Introspection
Summary:

Keeley's thoughts on the direction of the club and life



Supporting Change

Keeley hadn't been sure that any of it was a great idea, but it didn't take long for her to see the change in everyone — especially Roy.

His gruff exterior and piss-off attitude was intact, but there wasn't the same level of loathing for life there. Keeley just pushed into the change, and did all she could to reward the change.

If that meant more sex, she certainly wasn't going to complain. Nor did it take long to realize saying anything to Jamie was enough to rile Roy up in that really good way.

She could get behind the changes.

Characters: Roy Kent, Phoebe [Ted Lasso]
Additional Tags: Drabble, Slice of Life
Summary:

Roy is hunting somewhere, and has Phoebe with him



Excursions

"Fuck."

"Fuck," Phoebe parroted, and Roy had to turn and glare at her. "Frack?"

"Who let you watch terrible TV?" Roy asked, before looking all around him.

"That's from a show? You must have watched it to know the word. What was it about?" Phoebe asked. "I learned it from Billy."

"Billy watches terrible TV then. Where are we supposed to be?"

Phoebe did not make it any better when she giggled and pointed to the tiny hole-in-the-wall candy shop.

Roy took a firmer hold on her hand and walked them over, intent on getting Keeley the best chocolates ever.
