sometimes you just have to step up and make the niche control memes about bi arish that your heart desires

a text chain in a group chat titled "bureau buds" that reads:
simon arish: hey everyone. i'm bi.
jesse: yeah no shit
Emily Pope: Easy, Jesse. Thank you for telling us, Arish. We love you.
[picture of Langston]: proud of you simon :)
P6 [half cut off]: YOU ARE A WORM THROUGH TIME

chapter 11 of the rabbit test is up! 🐇🧪 with moira's due date fast approaching, she finds herself stuck at home with only her thoughts for company. meanwhile, angela lets her thoughts lead the two of them to a spot from their past. 🔗 in the replies! ⬇️

Moira’s body was a traitor, she’d decided.

If she had it her way, she’d have been working up until this baby was actively arriving. Angela, of course, was having none of it. That, Moira had expected. She just hadn’t expected her doctor to be just as stifling.

sometimes you have to make a little langston photocard for your mental health ✨💖🦋 (feat. my cat AGGRESSIVELY headbutting the card which felt very langston-coded)

breakfast in bed - a domestic au sigrold fic for sig's birthday! siebren learnt quickly that harold has a particular way he shows birthday affection. siebren reflects on that affection, and the ways that it's grown, just as their family has. 🔗 in the replies! ⬇️

A screenshot which reads: Siebren knows the routine, now.

It started years ago, back when he had a few less greys, a few less wrinkles in the corners of his eyes. He remembers the first time, actually, because it shocked him so profoundly.

detangled - a langston/arish fic! a morning mishap and some entirely expected support from his boyfriend arish has langston reflecting on what it means to have let someone else into his little life. 🔗 in the replies! ⬇️

A screenshot which reads: Langston wasn't quite sure how, after about a decade of this, he could still find himself in new predicaments. Of course, his body in its thirties tended to make more noise and wake up in more pain than it used to, and he suspected the latter feature was to blame today. He'd slept on his shoulder funny, and that plus the sticky humidity in the air had him here, his binder half on and incredibly tangled and twisted at his upper back, out of his reach.

Usually, he would have to work his way out of this predicament alone. That was something that had also recently changed.

“Hey, babe, I forgot my – ooh.”

it's the final day of #ovwrarepair25, with a free day prompt! the day of siebren's farewell from horizon has arrived, and the man of the hour has gone missing. harold knows where to find him, though, and they have a small heart-to-heart. 🔗 in the replies! ⬇️

A screenshot which reads: It didn’t surprise Harold that Siebren had ducked out of his own send-off. He wasn’t a party guy. He was better at small talk than most expected, but he was easily unnerved, easily knocked off-course by somebody who seemed bored or curt. His capacity for a gathering like that was small, and Harold knew it. His capacity for another spot on Horizon, though, was limitless, and so that was where Harold looked first.

today's chapter of universal constants is up for #ovwrarepair25, and day 6's prompt is square. harold tries to help siebren with his homesickness, and in doing so, the couple manage to open up to each other just a little. 🔗 in the replies! ⬇️

A screenshot which reads: Siebren was homesick, and Harold knew it.

The astrophysicist was trying his absolute best to keep it hidden, but Harold could see it. He’d felt it himself, before. It had helped that things had been so busy when he first got up here that during the days, he barely had time to think about anything but Horizon’s establishment.

At night, though, he would lay awake, sometimes for hours, thinking about everything back on Earth.

today's chapter of universal constants is up for #ovwrarepair25, with day 5's prompt - kiss! siebren has been holding back his feelings for his new collaborator for some time now, and they've reached a boiling point. 🔗 in the replies! ⬇️

A screenshot which reads: “Your amended cargo lists,” he said, and Harold took them with a grateful smile.

“Finally, huh?” Harold asked, grabbing a paperclip from the small ledge beneath the whiteboard, slipping it over the papers before resting them on the ledge as well. He gave a quick sigh before reaching out and putting a hand on Siebren’s forearm. “Thank you for this. You’re brilliant. ”

Siebren’s breath caught.

the next chapter of universal constants is up for #ovwrarepair25, and day 4's prompt is analogous. siebren finds harold in a state after some choice comments from a colleague, and he tries to do his best to calm his partner's racing thoughts. 🔗 in the replies! ⬇️

A screenshot which reads: Siebren had opened the door to Harold's quarters expecting nothing out of the ordinary. He'd had an uncharacteristically distracted day - for himself, anyway. Most people might expect themselves to get antsy as the week drew to a close, ready for a weekend of rest and recreation, but that wasn't usually Siebren’s style. Today, though, his thoughts had been drifting. He was more than ready to sink into Harold's arms and onto his bed, to talk about their days and weeks laying beside each other until talking started to slip further and further down their list of things they wanted to do with each other. It wasn't an uncommon way for them to ring in the weekend.

As Siebren walked into Harold's room, though, his light joy leadened and fell into his gut.

the next chapter of universal constants is up for #ovwrarepair25, with the prompt chocolate! harold finds out that siebren has snuck a coveted substance up onto horizon, and he wants in. 🔗 in the replies! ⬇️

$A screenshot that reads: “Have you been holding out on me?” Harold asked, scandalised. Siebren instinctively reached up to wipe at the corners of his mouth, as if it was a visible mark that had ratted him out, and not the trace of a taste that Harold had picked up from his lips. “I – what?” he asked. Harold rolled his eyes. “You are good at so many things, and lying is not one of them,” Harold replied. “Didn’t have you down as being any good at smuggling in contraband, either, but I was clearly wrong on that front.” Siebren’s eyes widened just a fraction.$

the next chapter of universal constants is up for #ovwrarepair25, and the prompt 2 is proposal! with his prospective horizon residency all but a certainty, siebren gets to see a familiar face for the first time in a while as he proposes his research. 🔗 in the replies! ⬇️

A screenshot which reads: “Are you going to rein it in or do I have to ask Nevsky to come fill in for you?” he asked. Meg snorted as she picked up the folder, flicking it open to a quick abstract of the upcoming presentation.

“Hey, if you wanna explain to Nevsky why you and the Gravity Man are making interplanetary heart eyes at each other, be my guest,” she replied. Harold scoffed.

“We won’t be making heart eyes at each other,” he insisted.

you didn't think i'd miss #ovwrarepair25, did you? here's universal constants, the home for this year's seven sigrold stories! the first day's theme is black and white, a theme that encompasses both siebren's thinking and a few of his follicles, too... 🔗 in the replies! ⬇️

A screenshot which reads: Harold let his eyes flick across Siebren’s face. He was snoring faintly, his mouth slightly open, something he only seemed to do when he slept particularly deeply. Harold reached up with his free hand to smooth some of Siebren’s hair back from his forehead. He let his hand gently cradle the side of Siebren’s head, his fingers carding through the longer hair on top to the well-kept sides. He let some of the in-between hair, not quite the longer strands nor the stubble, catch for the briefest moment between his fingers.

Upon lifting the inky tuft, Harold caught sight of it, just for a moment - a tiny crop of silvery-white hairs hiding just above Siebren's temporal bone.

his best guy - an 🔞 langston/arish fic! something's apparently amiss in one of the shelters near the panopticon, and langston calls in the fbc's best to help him. arish is very happy to oblige his request. 🔗 in the replies

“You can drop the act,” Arish remarks, leaning back against the wall beside the access hatch. Langston frowns in mild defiance.

“It's not an act, someone really did mention something about this safe room,” Langston starts. Arish folds his arms and cocks an eyebrow, which prompts Langston to continue.

“... It was about two years ago and it did just happen to be a possibly paranaturally-inclined rat in the supply closet, but it did happen! ”

what's this??? knee deep chapter 22 for the last moicy monday of the year??? wow!! siebren and harold try to work out whether to ask the postgrad crew something. time feels like it's starting to run out for moira to tell angela something, too. 🔗 in the replies!

It was a dinner at Siebren and Harold’s like any other, but as Angela started heading back to the dining room from the bathroom, she heard a sound she thought she’d never heard before. She paused by the cracked door, and by the sound of an argument – an admittedly mild one, but an argument nonetheless.

“You want them to come?”

“Yes.”

“So do I, let’s invite them.”

alter the mistletoe - a control christmas fic! 🎄🔻 a sprig of mistletoe has made its way into the oldest house, and the fbc crew has reason to believe it might be altered. this suspicion doesn't render them immune from its effects, though... 🔗 in the replies!

Mistletoe Sprig (AI25-PE)

BACKGROUND: The sprig (appearing as the species Viscum album) is believed to have been transported into the Oldest House by an unconfirmed source in the weeks leading up to the winter holiday period. Little is known of its origin, though several Bureau experts believe it to be benign. Preliminary hypothesis is the item entered via [REDACTED].

chapter 10 of the rabbit test is up! 🐇🧪 it's baby shower time, which brings tears, quiet moments of realisation, and conversations that visiting family friends cannot unhear. 🔗 in the replies!

With gift bag in hand, Jack knocked on the front door before stepping back. Inside, he thought he could hear a faint clatter, and a familiar, slightly frantic voice sounding out before he heard footsteps approaching. The door opened, and the redhead who answered seemed to let out a breath.

“Oh, it’s just you,” Moira remarked, stepping back.

“Good to see you too, Moira,” Jack replied as he stepped through the threshold, earning an eye-roll.

“There’s no time for niceties,” Moira said, and another clatter from the kitchen broke up her sentence. “Angela’s on the warpath.” Jack’s face shifted to an expression of understanding almost immediately.

a little patience - an 🔞 langston/arish fic! there's a little potential hiccup in langston and arish's plan to hook up that langston is a touch embarrassed about. arish is unflappable as always in overcoming it. 🔗 in the replies ⬇️

One of the most endearing things about Arish, as far as Langston was concerned, was how he took absolutely everything in stride. He was also a resolutely good man, one who made Langston feel safe and secure through his attitudes and beliefs, but that was something Langston had long known about. This chipper dedication and unflappable focus though? It wasn't unexpected, but experiencing it was another thing entirely, and it had a tendency to make Langston's head spin.
