What Are "Surface Thoughts"? by pallasite
Fandoms: Babylon 5, Babylon 5 & Related Fandoms
17 Sep 2018
Tags
Summary
"Do you know what a telepath has to do in order to avoid picking up stray thoughts? We have to kick down our natural abilities. Run rhymes and little songs through our heads, round and round. All that to keep from picking up what you're broadcasting loud enough to be heard halfway down the hall. You're one of those people who rehearses everything, Mr. Garibaldi. You never enter a situation until you've gone over it and over it a hundred times, worked out what you will say, what the other person will say, how you'll respond. It's quite remarkable. And extremely depressing. That little personality quirk must have cost you more than a few relationships. Mundanes want us to fill our heads with noise and babble, so we won't hear what you're shouting at the top of your minds. I didn't need to scan you, Mr. Garibaldi." - Byron Gordon, Paragon of Animals
What are "surface thoughts"? What does it mean to project them (or not)?
This essay also provides an in-depth look at what differentiates P4s from P3s (and at the different levels of "surface thought" telepathy).

Barbecue VS Thai Every Night at Flat 7B by SilverMyfanwy
Fandoms: Rise of the Guardians (2012)

Tags
Summary
It's surprising how much drama there can be when you're in a platonic living-together situation, but that's probably down to Jack Frost being gullible, Tooth bringing home a puppy without warning Bunny first, Sandy being useless at dog training and Bunny, of all people, becoming a teacher.
