Summary
The priest was content, or at least a close approximation of it. His post was obscure and insignificant: a beautiful little chapel that serviced an equally quaint village. He had his books and his solitude, and that seemed enough.
Then, like some Grimmian tale, a stranger slunk out of the darkness, threatening to upend his existence with a smile. And now the priest found himself plagued with questions like what if, and why not, and…even more troubling, why haven’t I before?
It was the last question that kept him up at night and followed him when he slept.
Title is from a poem called Disorientation by astrophysicist, Katie Mack.

Summary
“Best be going, then.” Crowley’d pushed his glasses up his nose and slid into his jacket. There hadn’t been a beat of hesitation, not one look of longing…actually, he hadn’t looked at Aziraphale at all. “I’ll just see myself out.”
“Crowley, don’t–” Aziraphale’d grabbed for his arm, but ended up with air. “I’ll only be gone for a smidge. Then I’ll be back, right as rain. You’ll see.”
“Yeah, ‘course you will. Don’t worry ‘bout me. I’ll turn up. Bad pennies always do.”
A year after leaving--the second time he'd left Crowley to do Heaven's bidding--Aziraphale is finally able to return. But what will he do if there's no home to return to?

Summary
“Hello.” Her low, full voice held a hint of confusion. It was almost eleven at night.
“I know it’s late…” His voice trailed off. He wasn’t overcome with emotion, just the opposite. A void lived where Jaime’s grief should be and he was reluctant to reveal it, even to Brienne.
“It’s fine. I wasn’t asleep.” There was the clink of dishes on her end. Jaime imagined her collecting the last teacup of the day and putting it in the sink. When he didn’t say anything she stilled, then asked, “What’s going on, Jaime?”
He held his head in his hand, measured his breathing. “Tywin’s dead. I was hoping you’d…” He paused, pinching the bridge of his nose. It had been selfish to call her. “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have–”
“Don’t wimp out on me now, Lannister.”
“Will you go home with me to settle the estate? I know it’s a lot to ask. We’ll both miss a couple of weeks of work…and the teachers’ lounge gossip will be damn near intolerable–”
Her bark of laughter startled him. “You? With me? Oh gods, they wouldn’t…I’m not…” She trailed off with a soft, huffing noise. It made his chest feel tight.

Summary
He took the steps two at a time and threw open the door with an imperious, “For the love of God, it had better be a seven.” But then his bluster deflated and he whizzed to a halt.
John stood on the stoop with Rosie on his hip. Two suitcases were crowded behind them, threatening to tumble backward onto the kerb and vomit their overstuffed contents. It had been five months since Sherrinford, and a quiet drive home, and John returning to his daughter in the home he’d bought for his dead wife.
“Hello.” John fidgeted, rebalancing Rosie’s weight. “It’s been a minute, yeah? Thought we’d…” He shook his head, paused, frowned. “Are those new goggles?”
“No.” Sherlock watched Rosie chew her finger. Unable to rein in his traitorous hope, he asked, “Why are you here?”
John and Rosie move back into 221b, and life takes on a new normal: one where John smells like Sherlock’s mate, Rosie smells like his daughter, and Sherlock tries his damndest to ignore the evidence. But how long can the world’s only consulting detective avoid coming to the obvious conclusion?

Summary
Every morning, he lets out a rattled breath of relief because John doesn't know yet; he can still pretend everything hasn't changed.
Sometimes it's the smallest things, rather than criminal master plans or elaborate family secrets, which ultimately destroy what a man has fought to preserve.
