Summary
“Val…” Nerd says, voice small. They don’t manage another word; they’re not sure they know any others.
“I knew there was a reason my timepiece kept bringing me here,” Val intones. “At first, I thought it was because I was meant to get the backup hopper back from Roseheart. But she hasn’t shown up in a while either, so maybe it wanted me to find you. What year is it, darling?”
(The Black Hole closes. The game ends. And then...)

Summary
“Well,” Zack says, raising a glass with a tired smile on her lips, “to us, my loves. To whatever’s about to come.”
The words slip out your lips before you can stop them. “I love you so much.”
“Jesus Christ,” Edric grimaces, swallowing down his wine in one swift gulp. “Save that until I’m gone, please?”
(a story about the new seattle garages, the old chicago firefighters, grief, and finally growing up)

Summary
“Let’s aim for simple,” Nerd decides, eventually. They’re still petting Val, albeit somewhat idly. “You have such a good mouth. I’d love for you to put it to use.”
Val grins and kisses Nerd again. “Whatever you’d like.”
(what it says on the tin, really.)

Summary
it starts like this: you’re sixteen, catcher to derrick’s shitty, shitty pitcher. you're the one who cares; he's ambivalent at best and barely half as good. but you still tag along to his gigs so it's payment in kind, hand over hand and heart over stupid fucking heart.
these decisions, you'll realize, will look a lot more awful at twenty-six.

Summary
in through the nose– you’re in your apartment. out through the mouth– the sound of distant traffic trails in through the window. in– you can smell frankincense on famous’s breath; out– they burrow deeper against your side. in– you’re in chicago. out– you’re here, free, tangible, alive.

Summary
things feel suffocating, almost. seeing the pacific when you awake is a reminder, and not quite a kind one. it's– there's a sense of loss in the core of it, when you interrogate the chasm in your chest. tides are changing, and there's no going back.
(baby triumphant, and a series of conversations)

Summary
“It hasn’t felt like that long,” Nerd mutters. “It doesn’t.”
“Time is hard to keep track of even under normal circumstances,” Val replies. “In periods of stasis, it’s all but impossible. I do it so that you might not have to. In this case, so that no one has to.”
(On Val Hitherto, Nerd Pacheco, and time in a vacuum.)

Summary
you don't love famous owens; that's not the game you're playing here. instead, it's the hazy in-between something approaching friendship and the worst/best mistake you'll ever make.
it started as a late night out–proof to yourself that you could still do this; make a damn decision just for yourself–but by the third time you find yourself making coffee in their apartment, you both know that it's spiralled much farther than that.
not that you talk about it.

Summary
“The weird thing about space is that it’s simultaneously immutable and unknowable. We can estimate the exact time a star was born, the exact time it died, but we’ll probably never know what it felt like, whether it shined down on life like ours. So let me ask you: where were you when our very own one collapsed?
Me? Well, I was busy getting consumed with it.”

“I know a lot about Columbo!” Finn protests. “I know he’s a detective who shows up like halfway through the mystery, and he solves the mystery, and usually the murderer is a shitty rich guy. I know he talks about his wife a lot.”
“And he does the one more thing thing,” Qais adds, looking proud to have contributed.
“Right!” Finn agrees. “The one more thing thing.”

Lars Taylor has had enough, he needs to visit Nerd. But The Oven at night is a beast he has yet to wrestle with. And if the Pies found him sneaking around, would they help him? Or help whatever it is that seems to be following him into the depths of this perfectly normal blaseball stadium.
