Summary
"You've heard me speak Farsi before, it's not a big deal."
Except that — Root has not heard Shaw speak Farsi before.
or Five times Root hears Shaw speaking Farsi and one time Shaw speaks Farsi directly to her (or more broadly, an insight into Shaw's recovery and the things that help to keep her grounded in reality).

Summary
They stay that way for a long time, Catra’s face tucked into Adora’s shoulder, Adora gently cradling Catra’s head. Adora is careful not to hug Catra too hard or make her feel restrained, anticipating the moment that Catra will start to pull away — but Catra doesn’t. She hangs on so tightly it hurts, her claws digging through Adora’s jacket and into her back, latching into her like she did when she was a kitten and didn’t know how much her claws could hurt. Adora tries not to wince, tries not to move a single muscle, worried that if she does the spell will break and Catra will struggle away, appalled at having shown weakness.
But Catra doesn’t let go. And so neither does Adora.

This is a continuation of my work Beneath the Ripples. If you haven't read that, please read it first:)
In their separation, Root is trying to live a normal life, and Sameen actually manages to do it; but when fate brings them together again, they can't let the chance pass.

Summary
In the post Samaritan world, the remaining Machine assets are trudging through the motions, trying to piece their lives back together. But things are rarely as they seem, and soon Shaw realises that the one she thought forever lost might actually need her more than ever before.
Or, "yet another take on where the story could go from there", featuring Root not being dead, Fusco nicknaming anything that breathes, Shaw being Shaw, a few villains new and old, fluff and of course a bunch of gunfights.
