    Summary

    “I’m not an actor.” Colt chokes out.

    “I know you’re not.” She says gently. Colt wished he was anywhere else but here.

    “But you have plenty of experience in front of a camera already, and… Colt, you’re his twin. You knew him in a way no one else ever could."

    or

    Colt is asked to star as legendary astronaut Ryland Grace in a biopic about him.

    Within the tight quarters of the Hail Mary, misunderstandings, arguments, and accidents are bound to happen. It's especially unfortunate when all three happen at once.

    Summary

    "Grace sad, not good. I fix."

    "… Um. How?" I ask. "Oh, God, please don't make me a human-shaped robot to hug. That would be so creepy."

    "No robot," Rocky promises.

    Summary

    “What is ‘constellation’ meaning, question?” Rocky asks, pointing with a claw at the softly star-speckled ceiling.
    Grace smiles warmly. “Patterns in the stars,” he answers with a faraway lilt to his voice. He leans back into the metallic floor and lets himself just look at them, lets his eyes skim across them in familiar rhythms. “You draw a line between two points, and if you string enough of ‘em together, it can look like a picture,” he explains. He points up at the first constellation he ever learned, traces the invisible lines between the stars. “We call this one the Big Dipper.”

    or

    Grace has been dangerously stressed lately. A trip to the Mental Health Node is long overdue.

    Summary

    "Hey...can I ask you something kind of weird?"

    "Shoot," Rocky says, his voice sounding amused. "But not actually shoot."

    Grace wants to laugh at the joke (he's been getting better at joking and sarcasm) but instead he swallows, his fingers tracing idle patterns on the blanket. The ache from earlier at the classroom, the beach, the constant invisible wall feels closer tonight.

    "What does it feel like... to touch you?" he asks. "I mean, if we could. Your carapace. Your claws. What would it feel like to me?"

    Rocky is quiet for a long beat. When he sings again, his melody is thoughtful and gentle.

    "Hard. Rocky, like name. Like...strong stone that is alive. My claws are sharp but careful. My body pulses a little when I am happy. Like singing Grace can feel instead of hear." He pauses, then adds with a soft, almost shy trill, "What does human skin feel like, question? To me, I wonder."

    He imagines it.

    In his mind, the xenonite shell vanishes.

    Summary

    Ryland Grace used to struggle in his younger years and he carries the reminders of that on his arm but Rocky didn't need to know that. He couldn't see details like that on Grace anyway.

    Summary

    The deaf spot of all Eridians is silent, open air. A piece of the crumbling biodome’s ceiling finally snaps from its connection point and plummets. It falls towards the abandoned shore, unapologetic to anyone who may already be down there.

    Rocky can’t realize something’s quickly approaching them until it’s far too late.

    ~~~~

    Set hundreds of years after the end of the book, a case of wrong-place/wrong-time leads Rocky to a catch a glimpse of what and who might be waiting for them beyond.

    (Rocky finally gets to see Grace again)

    Summary

    “Grace. What are you testing, question?”

    Rocky. I can’t put this all on the guy right now. He should be happy. We are going to Erid. We are going to save his planet.

    “CBC. A complete blood count.” I answer, hoping he doesn’t ask me why.

    “Purpose, question?”

    Rocky, please. I’m trying to spare you right now.

     

     

    Basically, Grace gets exposed to a dangerous amount of radiation during an EVA and doesn't want to tell Rocky bc of what happened to Rocky's crew <3

     

    THIS IS A REWORKED VERSION OF "TEMPEST" - after some comments, I wanted to keep the soul of the story, but make it more scientifically plausible. While there are still probably some inaccuracies, I still hope this isn't as messy as before.

    Summary

    We're almost at Erid. I have to tell him before we get in range of whatever radio-equivalent they use. He deserves to know, to have the chance to tell everyone before I land. He should know I’m a coward before he convinces his planet to funnel all their resources into keeping me alive.

    I've thought it through so many times, in the years since I remembered.

    ‘Hey Rocky, I need to tell you something.’

    ‘Hey Rocky, you know how you always call us brave? Well…’

    ‘Hey Rocky so the actual reason I had amnesia when I met you was because I said no when they asked me to save my planet even though I was the only qualified candidate and they forced me to and I said if they sent me I'd kill everyone by sabotaging the mission so Stratt gave me some insane amnesia drug.’

    Not exactly a conversation anyone wants to have ever, let alone with their roommate in a ship with no escape. Not something anyone wants to hear from the person they're relying on to save their people, either.

    Summary

    In my previous fic, Engineer Mark was pulled into the portal created by the warp core. His landing destination was into the Iron Lung, with Simon. But what if the reverse happened? What if Simon was pulled into the portal? He had just been sent into the blood, just scanned through the manual. But he hasn't used the camera. No radiation poisoning. He was hurled through the blue portal, into the Invincible II.

    Summary

    "Please keep it safe, Mom… it's more than me…"

    He clutched the life vest firmly, protectively. He glared at the monitor. His only light source. His only view into what was outside the welded cage of wires and machinery. He stood up, still feeling like his left arm was still there despite the evidence to the contrary.

    ...

    There was only one way he could gain freedom, despite how badly he didn't want this to be the case.

    But at least his death could mean something.
