    Summary

    “It’s funny.” Falin rubs her cheek. “People always said they like me because I’m gentle. Quiet. Selfless. But none of that was really true.” Her mouth pulls into a small smile. “Looking back, I think I was too scared to be anything else. Too scared to want anything that would be inconvenient for anyone else.” She smiles a little wider. “And that’s what everyone liked about me, in the end.”

    Marcille inhales sharply. “Falin—”

    “But now, I don’t care. As much, anyway. I like this. I like wanting things and being honest about it. I like being strong and scary sometimes.” She digs her nails into the back of her own neck, relishing the sting. “I think I like it more than I like being liked.”

    Summary

    “Impulse says you’re hurt,” Bdubs tells him. That makes Etho react. He turns, looking at Bdubs.
    “Not angry?”
    “He says you’re lashing out out of pain, not anger.”
    “I didn’t know he was a psychologist.” His tone is biting. Bdubs hears it.
    “Etho,” he scolds. And it’s just that. Just his name, and Etho feels ashamed and smaller. “He’s worried about you.”
    Oh, screw Impulse and his perfect boyfriend attitude. Etho will punch him in the face next time he sees him.
    “I know what’s happening, Ladders,” Bdubs continues, and Etho snorts, almost despite himself.
    “Somehow, I very much doubt that.”
    Because Bdubs is in tune with people’s feelings, and he is a very observant person, but Etho has loved him in silence for years, has spent all of this time by his side, and Bdubs has never said a thing.
    So he feels perfectly allowed to be skeptical.
    “You’re jealous,” Bdubs says, and Etho forgets how to breathe.

    Etho is jealous of the growing bond between Bdubs and Impulse, right up until he isn't.

    Summary

    The age-old tactic of barricading yourself in a 1x2 hole in the ground is a good last resort when you're overwhelmed by mobs. A final effort to make it through the night. Tried and true.

    But it turns out, fitting into such a limited space with another person is a bit more tricky.

    During the one night Bdubs can't find his bed to skip to the morning, he and Etho find that out the hard way.

    Summary

    proverb - A person who wanders or travels often and at length will not be burdened by attachments such as friends, family, or possessions.

    Bdubs has done well for himself, thank you very much! He's got a ship, he's got business, he's got friends! A man needs nothing more in the grand universe.

    It's hard being a human in the great beyond; a new species to the intergalactic community means poachers, a black market, and an everpresent danger.

    The solution? Simple! Don't be a human.

    Obviously, it's not going to be as easy as that. Not when he finds himself joining the crew of the Hermit Craft, not when he learns he's not quite alone.

    Summary

    The man hovering over him leaned back, releasing Grian completely. Cold night air rushed in to fill the void.

    “I guess it’s out in the open now,” the stranger hummed. “Shame. I wanted to avoid this.”

    With the additional glow occupying the space between them, Grian was finally able to catch features that were lost in the prior darkness. His curiosity outweighed all else, and he drank them in greedily. As soon as he saw who sat across from him, alarms blared in his mind.

    This man wasn’t a civilian, wasn’t even a hero.

    “Hello, Doctor,” the villain mused. “You were quite the help today.”

    - or -

    Grian is a vet. After a chance encounter in the dead of night, during which he accidentally saves a villain from the brink of death, he suddenly finds himself entangled in a world beyond anything he could've ever imagined.
