    Summary

    Ilya knows firsthand that the world isn’t comfortable. It’s loud, bright, demanding, a harsh place in direct opposition to everything he’s recently learned about autism.

    Is it so wrong that he wants Shane to feel safe here? To carve out a space where, even if only for a few hours, he doesn’t have to grin and bear anything? He can just be?

    Or: Ilya Rozanov has a lot of good ideas. Telling his fuck buddy that he should consider getting an autism diagnosis isn’t one of them.

    Summary

    "We're setting you up with a billet situation," Fletcher continued. "It's pretty common for first-year players, especially international guys. Gives you a chance to settle in, learn the city, have someone looking out for you."

    "Okay," Ilya said slowly, not entirely sure what a billet was, but not wanting to admit his ignorance.

     He could guess from the context – he’d heard of rookies being assigned to live with older single players, veterans who could show them the ropes. Maybe that was what Fletcher meant. Connors maybe, he was probably a handful of years older than Ilya. Or perhaps Becker. Ilya just hoped it was someone who–

    "You'll be staying with Nikolai Petrov and his family."

    The words hit Ilya like a punch to the gut. For a moment, he forgot how to breathe.

    "Petrov?" he managed, his voice coming out strangled.

    The Bears decide that Ilya should be set up with a billet for his first season. The idea of spending a year living with a man that Ilya is sure hates him is completely terrifying. And yet, it ends up being the best thing to ever happen to him.

    Summary

    The untold love story in The Martian. This should be accurate to fit into both book and movie canon. Slow-burn fluff as well as science bc of course.

    It was the first time he noticed how tiny she was, swallowed in her hoodie. “Johanssen,” he greeted her, slipping easily into his medical tone. “I couldn’t help but notice what you did to your coffee this morning.”
    “Every morning,” she muttered.
    “Excuse me?”
    “You’ve noticed every morning,” she repeated, taking a gulp from her mug. “I noticed you noticing.”

    Summary

    You didn't just have to save him. You have to put him back together, too.

    Ares 3 was in time to save Mark's life, but not quite his mind. The Hermes has hundreds of days of space travel before they all get back to Earth. It's a ship running without maintenance, and the primary engineer has the world's most severe case of PTSD. What happens? Canon-compliant.

    op, thank you for this. every all of it.

    -VAL lever
    -blooming into warmth
    -pizza and beer

    “We have to get to know each other, is all, and I'll start by taking her out to dinner. And then her family, if she's got one.

    What if she's a little old lady who is close to retiring? What if she has an awesome spouse and kids and we all become besties?”
