Summary
“Gabbro!” the Hatchling cried. Gabbro turned at their name, flute lowered. The Hatchling dashed across the sand and grabbed the astronaut by the shoulders. “I’m stuck in a time loop with Chert. You have to do something.”
“Oh, good luck with that, bud.” They raised their flute.

Summary
The Hatchling did it. They've explored the solar system, reached the Eye, and completed the legacy of the Nomai. They said goodbye and hello simultaneously. They let go. So why do they wake up staring at Giant's Deep? And why is the Orbital Probe Cannon still intact? Perhaps by exploring the solar system again they can find out exactly what happened when they entered the Eye of the Universe.

Summary
So Gabbro’s always gotten a giggle or two out of a twisted situation. So Shale’s getting more morbid by the hour. So they’re both more than a little sick in the head by now.
All this to say—you can’t really blame them for making the joke, can you?

Summary
“What do you need, Nim?” you say.
“I don’t know, I don’t know,” they say, shaking their head hard enough that tears fling from their chin. “I need— I need more, Gabbro.”
You wrap your arms around their shaking frame, but it only lasts a moment before they squirm and push away from you. “No, no, that’s not it. I’m sorry, I don’t know, I’m trying to think of what…”
“That’s the problem,” you say softly, pulling back but keeping your hands on them. “Don’t try to think. Just feel, Nim. What do you need?”

Summary
“Gneiss won’t be long. They’ll come ‘n’ watch over your little one while us two go off to get some good food and sun into you, and then the chair’ll be right back to being yours, okay?”
“Porphy. I—” They glare. They aren’t sure what’s different about today that makes it so difficult to keep arguing. “Will we be back before the next sunrise?”
“If that’s what you two need, we will. I’ll keep ‘n eye out for you. Promise.”
They’re not winning this one, are they?
“Right. Alright. Cool.”
Porphy gives their shoulder a resounding pat and straightens. “Eat up, sweets. We’re going to tap some trees.”

That seems to be enough, until it really isn't and Timber Hearth's finest astronaut gets themselves stranded in Dark Bramble. Now no one knows what to do next, but it's the Hearthian way to carry on.

Summary
Gossan and Slate always argued, but it never used to be so vindictive.
Feldspar was determined to make their hatchlinghood dream to go to space a reality. Enlisting the help of their friends; Gossan, a drill operator in the mines; Slate, the village's emerging engineer; Hornfels, the newest director of the Observatory; and Esker, a tree-keeper of few words; they worked to create Timber Hearth's first—and only—space program. The tribulations of such a monumental endeavor bound the five of them together. None of them anticipated how easily everything would come undone when Feldspar was gone.
