Twisted Wonderland: Yu & co. Make trouble yet again by the_starving_author
Fandoms: Twisted-Wonderland (Video Game)

Summary
An unfinished work from early in my Twisted Wonderland love, I wrote this when I was 14-15 maybe? Anyway it’s just my first installment in my resolution to publish all of my silly little fics that I never finished. Maybe having them out in the open will motivate me to finish them! Who knows. The idea of this one is that You, the reader, are trying out living in a magical world that you don’t belong in. Issues and fun arise when you get a job at the recently cleaned-out Mostro lounge. Story currently only reaches to about 1/2 of a first chapter, read at your own risk ;)

sour skittle rituals by some_pomegranate_tea

Summary
Dr. Herrick is chatting up Grace in the corner. Or at least, he’s trying to. Grace is mostly avoiding eye contact, glancing across the room every few seconds towards particularly lively conversations, or looking down at his pack of sour skittles.
Usually, Stratt doesn’t spend much time down here in the bar with the rest of the crew—she’s busy, and she doesn’t particularly wish to soften her reputation. But she has mindless emails to answer tonight, and anyway, she’s been wanting to see how Grace interacts with the others. She’s been curious.
~~~
Stratt witnesses one of her crew corner Grace in a dark hallway. She intervenes.

Astronomical Amounts (Of Painkillers) by Anonymous
Fandoms: Project Hail Mary - Andy Weir, Project Hail Mary (2026)
12 May 2026
Tags
Summary
"Grace light-sensing organs still covered. Grace in pain, question?"
Grace is always in pain. The painkillers help manage it. But he's at a point where increasing the dose would most likely do more damage than good, and still, the pain is there. It always is. He's pretty sure Rocky knows it, too, even if he tries not to let it show too much.
"A little."
"No lie, please."
Right. The little bugger would know. Of course he would. They've spent literal years getting more and more codependent, it would be weird if he didn't.
"Grace in pain, statement," he confirms. In an attempt to be truthful, but not worry Rocky too much, he adds, "My head mostly. Little bit of muscle pain, too." Pause. Inhale, exhale. Continue. "And the formication and burning in my hands again."
"Ah. The small insects."
Or another Grace Suffers Due To Malnutrition fic. this week somewhat focused on different neurological effects

Summary
Dad doesn’t let me get any farther than that, with a strong hand wrapped around my upper arm. He doesn’t hug me. The gentleness I've always associated with him, the very same that he started with outside my door, is gone. In its stead is a grief so staggering that it strips him bare. For a moment I’m not even looking at a person; I’m looking at myself, soul to soul, the two of us losing someone so intrinsic to us that we won’t be ourselves once he’s gone.
And I hate him. I hate him.
Or, Ryland Grace's relationship to his own memories and the idea of suicide.

Summary
“Rocky, I’m here, okay? Come back to me, pal, please.”
Of course I will, I think, drawn to that voice, that strange, wobbling voice, which I care about without knowing exactly why, and I should – it makes me angry, not knowing – I should know –
