Summary
“Thanks for letting me stay here, Shorter,” Ash says. His voice is hoarse, still, but ... different, now. It’s breathier, and almost sounds whiny. “Let me make it up to you, yeah?”
And maybe it says something about Ash—or what he’s been through—that he drops to his knees without so much as a kiss.
Ash wants to convince Shorter to let him stay the night. Shorter doesn't need convincing.

Summary
It’s just past three in the morning, and someone is knocking on the restaurants back door, Shorter realizes, blinking blearily at the clock, sitting on the surface of the beat-up old chest of drawers he uses as a nightstand.
Who the fuck was knocking on the door to a restaurant at three in the morning?

Summary
Sharp green eyes stare back at Eiji. Only for a moment, and then those eyes close shut, face relaxed. Completely and perfectly asleep. Except the hair on the back of Eiji's neck has stiffened— that same feeling Eiji learned to listen to when he was nineteen because it means something isn’t right (before he even learned just how things can go so terribly wrong). Ash is asleep, to anyone else, but Eiji knows what his husband looks like actually tired from a long day, and this smaller, stiffer version is certainly not the same man that fell in bed with him last night.
A man... this looks like a child.
Or, a 30-year-old Ash is swapped out with a 15-year-old Ash, and Eiji's just along for the bumpy ride.

Summary
“You won’t hurt me,” he insists, remembering to keep his voice breathy. Needy. “You can’t hurt me.
“Ash!” Eiji scolds lightly. “I don’t just want to ‘not hurt you.’ I want you to feel good, too.”
The word slips from his lips before he can stop it. “Why?”
Ash tries to give Eiji everything—more than he's able.

Summary
"But even amid the haze of relaxation and warmth, one thought comes through with uncomfortable clarity. How much longer is Eiji going to keep this up? How much longer will he treat Ash with affection and kindness before his patience finally runs out and his touch turns cruel and demanding? Ash knows violence, so intimately that he can rarely be bothered to mourn for his own suffering anymore. But when it’s Eiji, when he imagines Eiji’s hands as the ones bruising him, something deep within him cries out in protest. It’s only a matter of time before the inevitable--Ash knows this--but he wishes it weren’t. He wishes he could live in this bliss, this gentleness, forever. He wishes that, just this once, there could be a different ending to this story.
But there never is. Ash would stake his life on it."
Ash knows touch well. Too well. But then he meets Eiji, and suddenly something about it is different than before.

If the Stars Could Bleed by KC Terra (Coora360)

Summary
The first thing Simon Fischer learned about saving humanity was that no one asked whether he wanted the job. They simply informed him he was the only engineer qualified to keep the Mary alive. Every propulsion system, environmental control, fabrication unit, air recycler, or electrical failure would be catastrophic. If something broke millions of miles from Earth, there would be no repair crew to call, no replacement parts waiting in a warehouse, and definitely no second chances. There would only be Simon.
He'd argued, refused, and even pointed out there had to be someone else. There wasn't. The sun was dimming, and every calculation ended the same way: someone had to go. So Simon went.
He hadn't expected to become humanity's last engineer, and he certainly hadn't expected to become friends with a mysterious scientist welded into a submarine.

Summary
The stranger walked towards Grace but when he noticed him backing away, he stopped. Instead, he leaned against the bunk he had just been laying. Crossing his arms, but smiling all the same.
“My name’s Simon Fischer. What’s yours?”
“Grace. R- Ryland Grace.”
Simon blinked as if that was too simple and smiled.
“That’s a nice name,” he said and gestured to the robot. “This is Armando. He’s a bit of a Nanny Robot. Looks after my health. Yours too.”
“Did you name it?” Grace asked, eyeing the machine.
“…yes?” Simon replied.
“You named the robot arm, Arm-ando?
“Yes.”
Grace considered this. “Fair enough. Carry on.”
BloodyMary Swap AU where Grace is in the blood ocean and Simon wakes up on the Hail Mary.

“They gave us like, four different apartment complexes to choose from.” Claire stabs her fork into her lasagna again, scoops up another bite, but waits to put it in her mouth. “I don't think you picked the place one of your brothers lives in on accident.”
Courtland blinks once, the only tell that he's been caught off guard.
--
Or, Courtland's introduction back into his younger brothers' lives is...not the smoothest of rides.

Summary
Two weeks after the disaster of a conference that was meant to be his academic victory run and the successful start of the rest of his life as a molecular biologist, Ryland Grace escapes to one of Washington’s state parks. Hiding away in his twin brother’s cabin, Ryland has to come to terms with the fact that the life he worked so hard for had slipped right through his fingers because his ego had been larger than his logical brain, and now he’s haunted by a community of scientists and online enthusiasts yearning to run what little is left of his dignity into the ground.
But as a hike, one fuelled mostly by spite because obviously he didn’t learn his lesson just yet, goes south, he’s forced to call the rangers for help. And because life hates him, the ranger who told him not to wander into the woods is the one to take his call.
Something about ranger Simon’s disapproving and definitely disappointed look cuts deeper than he anticipated.

Simon just irradiated 3 people and got dropped back into the blood ocean. He'd love to wallow in his mistakes, but there's something shifting just behind the wall...
Ryland Grace does not know that "Ryland Grace" is his name, nor does he know where he is or who the hell this scrappy man is next to him.
(Freshly amnesia-d Grace appears in the SM-13, and now they BOTH have to deal with it)

Summary
Oh, he was in love.
He knew from the things he wanted to give Simon.
An August sky as a frame for a falling star, a set of wings, the infinite itself -whatever that meant.
He wanted to negotiate with the stars, convince them to arrange themselves into something that looked like Simon, just so he could point up and say: that’s how much I love you.
He would have turned himself into snow just to show him how warm a fire can be in winter.Or:
Simon is slowly changing, and Ryland faces the impossibility of holding onto someone who is already fading away.Bookmarked by LeilaKnows

Summary
The Hail Mary has been shot out into the depths of the infinite void of space to search for an answer that may not even be there. Aboard, the three crew members lay in stasis as the ship hurtles like an arrow towards a distant star, with no hope of return, but a desperate hope to make things right.
At home, two brothers are left in sudden and violent grief. A woman grapples with whether or not she made the right decision. The world strains and suffers under the weight of the coming Fimbulwinter.
And then one of the beetles returns.
Thirteen years early.

Summary
Eva feels like the breath is knocked out of her lungs when the man walks in.
Dirty blond hair. Blue eyes. Sort of like… if Ryland Grace was hit by a car several times. It was undeniably him.
“So you’re Eva Stratt,” The man says gruffly, slamming both hands on her desk. He looked exactly like Ryland, it was terrifying. It felt like watching a ghost haunt her in real life.
“You’re the crazy woman that sent my baby brother up into space. Let’s talk, yeah?”
or
Colt Seavers finds out his twin brother was sent on a suicide mission. He does not take it well.

Summary
"I'll keep you updated. In the meantime, go back to sleep. When you need to worry, I'll tell you."
"Heh." Ryland ran his hand down his face. "It's terrible you know that it actually makes me feel better. What would I do without you?"
"Explode at a colleague at a conference and get expelled from academia and become a middle school teacher." Eva said, promptly.
"Wow, you've thought about that way too hard." Ryland laughed. "Middle schoolers might not vape in class, though. Maybe I should switch."
"Let's not joke."

Summary
His arm twists painfully behind him as he’s dragged along towards the large box, which now sits open before him. He recognizes distantly that it’s made of the soundproofing material Eridians use to make private rooms. An Eridian wouldn’t be able to see the inside.
He realizes it's just the right size for him.
---
The Eridians have done their best to treat Ryland Grace well since he saved their planet. At least, most of them. A few years after his arrival, he is abducted by a group more interested in his biology than his wellbeing. Rocky and the others scramble to find him, before it's too late.
