Signalling Theory: Blue Coat by obaewankenope (rexthranduil), rexthranduil
Fandom Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (Movies), Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling
04 May 2026
Summary
Aposematism in animals is designed to prevent attack. It doesn't always work, sometimes it's ineffective against some predators, sometimes it isn't. As a primary defence mechanism, Newt is a colourful individual with his blue coat and golden hair. His secondary defences aren't visible however and often are what surprise his opponents the most. Bright creatures tend to be very toxic to predators, but mammals like honey badgers are aggressively defensive. Newt is a Hufflepuff and the emblem of his house suits him well. Signalling theory tells you that Newt warns off predators and opponents with his colours, but when they don't take heed he'll show his claws and fight tooth-and-nail. It's what survivors do.
And Newt Scamander is definitely a survivor.

Summary
Every now and then, Percy would tire of the stares and whispers of New Rome. Earth shaker. Storm maker. Former Praetor.
So, Annabeth and he would drive out into the world. To a bar. A bar full of soldiers with no medals. A bar where Annabeth didn’t stick out with a knife on her hip and Percy couldn’t beat everyone at darts. A bar full of hunters, whatever that means.
-Percy might be almost a god, but he’s still an idiot. Dean might know better than to challenge gods, but that doesn’t mean he knows when he’s talking to one.-

Summary
"It was coming back now, in small, fractured increments. He got flashes of himself, lying on the oil-stained pavement outside of DT Precision, in shock, eyes wide, mouth agape, hand reaching down, down, down to only come up red, red, red. He remembers not realizing, at first, what the red meant; he’d been shot."
OR
Brian doesn't have much time. Never had, really, before, much time to say anything, between the need for self-preservation in his childhood and then his job, where he spent probably too much time undercover.
Now, though, with the life draining out of him, on the run with the crew he’d just betrayed, shot by someone he should have been able to trust, time has never seemed more crucial.
Too bad he wasn't going to live to see another day. He still has a lot to say.

Summary
Pain, like a virus, can be passed on and passed down. Maybe like a sickness, maybe like bottles on the wall. Regardless of how it’s transmitted, through the bloodline, through the cruelty of circumstance, it’s sometimes immediately obvious to others. We wish we could hide, could fly under the radar, but existence in others’ eyes is unfortunately what defines suffering.
The war keeps on waging, and don’t you forget, God’s not done with you yet.
(That’s a threat).

Remember when Hayden Pike punches Ilya after Shane said not to, right before the announcement of the Irina Foundation? Remember that that was the second time Hayden laid his hands on Ilya in the first month of knowing him?
Or, Shane gets rightfully fed up after the first month of Hayden's behavior towards Ilya. Punching Ilya was the final straw, so he tells Hayden to pretend he never found out. It sets off a chain of events landing him, happily, in Ottawa a year earlier and with a better support system for both him and Ilya.

Javi knows he has a concussion, but he has to open his eyes. That feels as bad as the initial contact once he sees how close the tornado is.
“Javi, you’ve gotta get up, baby. You’ve gotta crawl just a little,” Tyler is pleading, crouching as he moves toward where Javi is flattened. “I know it hurts, but you need to get in the truck. I can help.”

Summary
“What are you talking about?” Grace's fingers played quick chords as he spoke. He didn’t even look as he did it, but it did not make them any less purposeful.
“Discussing possible reasons why Tau Ceti is not infected while other stars are,” Eva replied deftly. “I would invite you to join, but we were just finishing—”
“Oh, that’s easy.” His hand twisted a knob, and the notes came out sharper. “It is infected—Petrova Line and everything.”
In Grace's opinion, dreaming about time traveling is no excuse for getting out of practice with his Eridian. To the rest of the Petrova Taskforce, it seems a bit odd that their resident Astrophage expert has suddenly taken to carrying a keyboard around and playing it whenever he speaks. Eva Stratt resolves to figure out what is going on.

Summary
A Rocky POV of Project Hail Mary, but add in a sprinkle of originally named astrophages, petrova lines, language barriers, trauma recovery, and extra, extra worldbuilding. Includes pre- and post-canon!
La traduccion al espanol by MichiHolmes! Gracias!
***
One day, his strumming was not answered.
The silence that answered his one verse of song was horrible and grating. Incomplete. Empty. A sick, horrible fear built up inside him.
(He was going to die out here. Alone.)
***
"Iz huhg," Grace sniffled out, sucking back in moisture from his noze, too. There was moisture and water and everything all over the place. "Huhg meens grayt, grayt, grayt affekshun."
"Oh," he said tentatively. Another hewmin thing! He shuffled closest to the wall Grace was huhging and leaned in. "Oh. Am I doing correctly, hmm?"
"Yis," Grace sighed out, calming down. He still leaked, though.
Oh, well. Leaky hewmins were his favorite, after all.

last gasp by pacificseafoam

Summary
Stars danced across his vision, blurred and smudged like wet paint, broken glasses pressed uncomfortably against his face. He tried to gasp for air, but it was like his lungs just couldn’t inflate. He was winded, he vaguely understood, but he couldn’t think straight past the panic that pumped through his veins.
Every attempt at breath felt like knives in his body, electricity shooting across his clavicle, pinpricks scattered his face, lightning down his spine. His body had never felt heavier, like the atmosphere had gotten denser, his limbs chained down.
Flame burned in the distance, catching the corner of his vision. That couldn’t be good.
or; Grace was just a little bit closer to the explosion at the space facility and ruins Stratt's backup plan.

Summary
They did it. Earth and Erid are safe and Grace remembers everything. Only that doesn't feel right. Something's missing, something important but how the heck is he supposed to figure out what he's forgotten? And since there's no chance of going home, is there even any point in remembering?
On Earth, 1 year after the rocket's launch, Colt Seavers needs to know what happened to his brother. The problem with looking for answers, is sometimes you find what you're looking for and you have to live with the painful truth of what you found.
