    Summary

    They learn of what happened in the same way: secondhand, delayed - the event already in the past by the time it reached them.

    Or - Grace and Colt both learn of what happened to the other through news broadcasts, too far away to do anything about it.

    Summary

    “Nope–no you have to keep the pressure on that, Colt–” Jody grabbed his hand, guided it back upward, glancing over his shoulder to see what he was looking at.

    There wasn’t anything of note behind him, just the pavement and a laughing couple stumbling their way around the corner.

    Was he concussed?

    “I’m not Colt,” Colt said, interrupting Jody’s thoughts. He cocked his head to the side, frowned, tried to lower his hand for the third time like he’d already forgotten what he was supposed to be doing. “I’m trying–I need to find Colt. M’not him.”

    Oh, yeah, he was definitely fucking concussed.

     

    (Ryland is concussed, Colt is framed for murder and concussed, and Jody is definitively lost in all the sauce because someone forgot to tell her that Colt has a twin brother.)

    Summary

    "It's me," Court says calmly. "Your favorite book at the library was the Eyewitness Book about fish because you liked the colors. You always got offended when Colt called some ugly, but there were some ugly fish in there."

    "No," Ryland whimpers. He's still crying, tears dripping down his cheeks to trail down his stubble-lined jaw.

    "Yes," Court assures him. "It's me, Ryland."

    (A ColtlandGentry!AU starting from the beginning to the bitter end.)

    Summary

    “What are you talking about?” Grace's fingers played quick chords as he spoke. He didn’t even look as he did it, but it did not make them any less purposeful.

    “Discussing possible reasons why Tau Ceti is not infected while other stars are,” Eva replied deftly. “I would invite you to join, but we were just finishing—”

    “Oh, that’s easy.” His hand twisted a knob, and the notes came out sharper. “It is infected—Petrova Line and everything.”

    In Grace's opinion, dreaming about time traveling is no excuse for getting out of practice with his Eridian. To the rest of the Petrova Taskforce, it seems a bit odd that their resident Astrophage expert has suddenly taken to carrying a keyboard around and playing it whenever he speaks. Eva Stratt resolves to figure out what is going on.

    Summary

    “Y’know, Six, if I had known you had such good genes I would have tracked you down earlier.”

    Six forced his face and voice to stay neutral. “What?”

    “I’m not personally escorting them, but my people informed me of a…” Hansen pauses, seemingly looking for information. Six’s gut is always right, and there was a rock settling in the pit of his stomach. “Colt Seavers and Ryland Grace. Who knew Sierra had family?” A cold laugh echoed through the phone. “I’ll see you soon, Six. Family reunion! How exciting.”

    The line went dead. Six was still, except for his right hand slowly crushing the phone held to his ear. He would need to get rid of it anyway.

    This stupid fucking USB. He wanted to burn it.

    Glass crunched in his fist, the phone irreparable. God, he was going to fucking murder Lloyd Hansen.

    He brought the phone down, staring at it. The screen had faded to darkness.

    or

    The Gray Man (2022) but if Ryland and Colt, who were under the assumption that their older brother was dead, were kidnapped as leverage.
