Summary
There's 1 in 70,000 people on the planet who have the gene needed to survive the Hail Mary's expedition. In that limited pool, 1 in maybe 1000 had the necessary skills needed for the mission — more dire still, even less people were willing to volunteer for what is essentially a suicide mission.
When an explosion killed not only their science officers but also their engineers, Eva Stratt makes the tough decision to put 2 people on the spacecraft that no one was expecting to be even be candidates.
One is a middle-school science teacher.
One is a convicted eco terrorist.

Summary
“Hob.” Dream could hear the waver in his voice. His body normally responded to his own desires, but here, it seemed to work against him. His throat was tight. It was all wrong, this was all wrong. This was not how it was supposed to go. “Hob, please.”
Still, his… his friend… ignored his presence.
TLDR;
Hob has started hallucinating his Stranger for the past seventy-odd years. When his Stranger actually turns up, he thinks it's another hallucination. Shenanigans ensue to get the pair on the same page.Updates Every Saturday (usually)

(Or Astarion reclaims his personhood, one fraught, determined step at a time. And with a little help along the way.)

Summary
When he wakes, he is on a beach, gold, looking up at the sun.
Ah, he thinks, distant. I'm dreaming.
Astarion is never quite sure, until the moment Cazador lies dead before him, whether this entire adventure is anything more than an extremely vivid hallucination.
