    Summary

    “I— Yeah,” I cut whoever was speaking off, my voice sounding strange and distant, like I was hearing myself from ten feet away. “I’m fine, I just have to… I think I need… uhm…”

    I was rising to my feet, then, my thoughts blurry and all over the place. As I shuffled out from under the table, I moved too fast and hit the edge of it with my knees. It was a terrible idea — pain flashed through my hips and spine without the help of my cane, which I vaguely registered leaving on the ground as I pushed away from the conference table, took one more look at the people gathered around it…

    And broke out into a run.

    Or: Grace returns to Earth but has trouble adapting to humans again. Humans who stare, and scrutinise, and can read his thoughts at a glance.

    Summary

    Title based on song "Take This Longing" by Leonard Cohen. This story has a splash of Shaw's epilogue and is based in the same general universe as my previous fic Once in a Lifetime (sans magical elements) and influenced by the fic Rhythm by Florance Tallis and Just You Wait by encroix.

    Henry and Eliza do not reconcile at the grand opening party from Once in a Lifetime but she does patch things up with Freddy. Despite serious reservations that she chooses to ignore, she decides to become Mrs. Freddy Eynsford-Hill. Higgins is not ready to give her up.

    **Now sans embarrassing and baffling typo in chapter 18 that will haunt me until my dying day!**

    COMPLETE as of 12/03/24

    Summary

    “Is this distracting?” Elle asked, fingers twisting and twirling at the hair at the back of his head. And then they ran up, threading through to scratch at his scalp, and his eyelids fluttered. Absolutely. It felt like his scalp was being massaged by Aphrodite, of course it was distracting.
