Summary
Suddenly, the door flies up and open, and standing there is Simon in a uniform somewhere between the C.O.I. and old Earth uniforms, with his hair cut and beard more shaven and, well, bright and happy, like it was years earlier and nothing had gone wrong a day in anybody's life. Around him, a docking bay in slight disarray as someone's picked up from where it seems something collapsed onto them. Simon smiles at her, widely, waving his arms "Captain! Glad to have you here, it took you long enough." He chuckles, reaching out a hand to shake.
Ava looks at him in horror. "Simon? How are you-? Did you break the-?" She tries her radio again, "All stations, report."
“Oh, don’t worry captain, we’ve done away with those old radio systems.” He waves his hand, “Don’t know why you’re calling me Simon though, not my name.”
One author has never seen In Space With Markiplier. The other author knows it very well. This work is the result of asking the question, "What happens if you put Ava in the captain's position and don't present her with clear choices?", playing that out as an RPG, and then reformatting that into fic form. Hope you enjoy.
