Summary
He knows, in the back of his mind, that Deceit has been playing with him, taking advantage of him. He knows Deceit has been sweetening him on purpose, that probably having a Light Side in your back pocket is more than useful for him. And he's been finding, increasingly, that he doesn't care. That maybe he'd like to be in the palm of Deceit's hand. That maybe he wouldn't mind so much, if Deceit wanted him for the wrong reasons. Sometimes, Roman thinks, when he sees Deceit looking at him, it's the gaze of a predator looking at their prey, and he wouldn't mind getting caught.
So down he goes. Into the predator's lair.
Roman has always been a sucker for a villian.

Summary
"Izzy," Edward breathes, as he pulls away, "I'm -"
For a second, Izzy thinks he'll actually say it, that his soft feelings have carried him all the way to apology this time. But then his mouth closes, hardens, and Izzy nods, once, to himself.
"I know," he says.
That's enough for Edward. He doesn't need Izzy's forgiveness, not now that he's starting to come out of it slightly. Izzy can tell; maybe he could taste the blood still faintly in Izzy's mouth, maybe his eyes had lingered when they turned away from Izzy's face. Maybe it's just being here, in his room, with Izzy so vulnerable, that's faintly hardening Edward's newfound, purposeful, redundant softness, that Izzy can tell he is proud of.
Edward's hands wander. They wander down. He stretches Izzy's leg out. Caresses his ankle. His thumbs skim over the bandages.
"You need to change these," Edward breathes.
-
A few days after Edward cuts Izzy's toe off, he comes back to try to offer Izzy some tenderness.

Summary
"So you'll tell him, then?" asks Stede.
"No," Izzy says, folding his arms across his chest.
"But why?" cries Stede. He looks genuinely quite distressed at the thought.
Izzy shrugs uncomfortably. "Why should I? I don't want anything to change. I don't want to be his fucking boyfriend. And he doesn't want to be mine."
-
Lucius and Stede find out that Izzy and Ed are soulmates and decide the only possible happy ending for them is romance. Izzy and Ed disagree.

But Chilton doesn't just want to understand the Chesapeake Ripper. He needs to understand Will Graham.

He doesn't care if Will's grateful so be understood and cared about or if he resents Chilton for it, hates him. But he needs to understand how Will works, what he wants, why he did it, who he is. He just needs something, some way in. He needs to understand.
-
Dr. Chilton has a session with Will Graham, who, despite his uncooperation, Chilton is slightly obsessed with.

Gödel's Incompleteness Theorem and Wittgenstein II by TheAsexualofSpades
Fandoms: Sanders Sides (Web Series)

Summary
Gödel's Incompleteness Theorem: For any consistent formal system, there will always be statements that are true, but that are unprovable within the system. The second incompleteness theorem, an extension of the first, shows that the system cannot demonstrate its own consistency.
Wittgenstein II: For a large class of cases of the employment of the word ‘meaning’—though not for all—this word can be explained in this way: the meaning of a word is its use in the language.

Despite what you think it is, it’s not a cry for help. It’s not a desperate attempt at anything. It’s not out of control.
It’s just an option.

Summary
or, a quasi-love story in several ridiculous performances, the entirety of ABBA’s discography, and a deeply cursed arts and crafts project
(or, in which Orla accidentally bags David Donnelly and doesn’t even know she’s doing it)
(alternately, David goes from being the unbothered de facto sex symbol of Derry’s teenage population to having a complete and utter breakdown over a girl who has literally never looked at him once)(really, Orla just doesn’t look at people often because there are a lot more interesting things to look at, like clouds and rocks)

A love that gave him Fabian.

Summary
It's a good thing Riz puts his email on his business card, 'cause then Fabian has another way to contact him when he's not answering his crystal. It's also a good thing Riz takes on private investigating cases, 'cause then Fabian has another way to annoy him when he feels like making up excuses to hang out. Good thing they’re both up to cracking this particular case.
(or: Unlicensed private investigator Riz Gukgak and his client, Fabian, email back and forth about how to make Fabian's unnamed friend—who is definitely not Riz—more cool.)
