Summary
Eight years later.
"To bid goodbye, is to say, ‘I must put you into God’s hands, since I can no longer hold you in mine.’ A goodbye is a capitulation to forces bigger, stronger than ourselves, than our wills, our desires. It is a surrender, of someone dear, to the questionable mercies of the world. One quite literally gives them up.” She sipped at her wine. “Goodbyes are shattering, and devastating, and holy. And life is full of them. Do not try to make them easy. Far better to make them worthwhile."

Summary
A familiar pair of hands descended onto Catra’s shoulders, giving them a light squeeze. Catra’s eyes fluttered closed and she leaned into the touch. Adora couldn’t do too much through the layers of her spacesuit, but the gesture was appreciated — even more so when one hand settled against Catra’s skull, fingers carding soothingly at the spot between her ears.
“It’s going to be okay,” Adora said softly.
“Um, hello, ground control to Adora and Catra,” said Mermista, waving a hand close enough to Catra’s face that for a second Catra considered biting it. “If you two could stop flirting for a moment, that would be great. People are dead.”
___________
Catra’s life at a research center on Polus has long since become routine. When a series of sabotaged machinery leads to the murder of a fellow crewmate, she and her team begin to question if there is an imposter in their midst. OR: an AU based on the video game Among Us.

Summary
“Gideon,” said Palamedes with the patience of a saint, “the rules are the rules. It wouldn’t be fair if I changed them just for you. In a well ordered society—
“It’s not a well ordered society.” Gideon knew where that was going, and she certainly didn’t have the time. She slapped a slip of paper onto the counter and said, “It’s secret santa.”
And there lay the source of all of her problems: handwritten in a script so neat and precise it could have been printed, Harrowhark Nonagesimus. And everyone knew that Gideon and Harrow hated each other.
So what if they had started taking smoke breaks together? So what if Harrow had helped her fold shirts just last week, in a store she didn’t even work in? So what if Harrow had laughed as the two of them did Jagerbombs at Palamedes’ Halloween party, the glint of her fake fangs flashing invitingly in the orange party lights? They hated each other. The two of them would both work in the mall until one of them inevitably strangled the other with her bare hands, and Gideon wouldn’t have it any other way.
Except that lately, Gideon had started to like Harrow.
Which made that slip of paper a fucking problem.
