    Summary

    They were walking through the cherry fields when Purple’s phone pinged, and pinged again when he was pulling it out of his pocket. His eager words tapered off, and his light expression hardened with focus at the screen. King turned his gaze away in respectful nonchalance, electing to give the kid his privacy. The youth and their phones—there was no use in fighting it.

     

    “Dad,” Purple said, and the tremor in his voice made King’s stomach drop. His eyes jerked back to the kid, meeting his the second he lifted them from his phone. His face was tight with urgency. “We need to get to the gang’s.”

    Summary

    What started out as a simple sickness has suddenly turned into something much worse: sudden discoloration, random glitches, and bursts of burning pain and indescribable anger from a code error that somehow made its way into Red’s body. Second wants to help; it would break him to know Red was hurt and couldn’t stop this “sickness” from hurting him - but there seems to be more to this odd “virus” than meets the eye.

    Summary

    "No, no no no, don't—" Yellow felt the mark on her forehead burn, like when she was jailed, like when she was a ghost, possessed by the very thing she had unleashed, trapped by her own hubris and foolishness, trapped. trapped, trapped— "Don't leave me here!"

    "It's not that bad."

    Yellow jumped, spinning around and realizing it was possibly the worst person—no, the worst person she could've been stuck with was sitting there, at the desk of a lab she for once did not want to be in. She hadn’t realized who it was, she’d seen the fuzzy red and motions of a person, and hadn’t thought much of it. There was no mistaking that voice.

    "Dark Lord." Yellow pressed her back against the seamless door, "You—what do you want?"

    Or,

    Yellow, The Dark Lord, and choosing the lesser of two evils.

    Summary

    Red watches his own hands take hold of it, back hunched over the block protectively.

    He feels it leave his body, pain tearing his skin as it crawls its way out.

    He tries to look behind, so that there’s at least a witness to his friends’ murderer, but he can’t make anything out. All he sees is a blinding white light accompanied by a terrifying sound.

    And then it’s gone.

    ~

    Herobrine is successful in obtaining the Minecraft block, killing the group and leaving Red with the aftermath.

    Summary

    Mom had taught them a lot about fighting.

    Purple's hits never got stronger under her teachings. Not as strong as they needed to be. Faster, sure. Perfectly aimed the weakest spots. Smarter, but not harder. They were fast and clever and never strong.

    Mom never forgave them for it.

    or,

    Purple introduces their friends to Stick City, and watches as they go through one of the tournaments they used to live by. It'll be fine, right? Right.

    Summary

    It's not cold like that time Ryland went camping in the Rockies. That had been fun. Finding a cold spot in your spaceship 13-light years away from home? Not fun.
    Which is especially bad because apparently he's the only one who can feel it.

    “But you said you didn’t have a word for – for forcing someone into reproduction?”

    “No. Is different, but equivalent violation. Means, to force to sleep.”

    –

    Summary

    When Rocky wakes up after Adrian, he's relieved they're both alive, but immediately knows that something is off with Grace. He's having trouble breathing, sleeping a lot, and spiking fevers. As much as Grace wants to blame it on lung irritation from the ammonia in Rocky's atmosphere, Rocky knows he's downplaying it, and it's not going to work.
    However, before he can actually do anything about it, the ship's power goes out. Taumoeba have gotten into the fuel and eaten all the astrophage, leaving them with no choice but to steal from the beetles.
    Which are on the outside of the ship.
    Which means two EVAs and a lot of lab work for Grace, all while his condition declines from what's quickly turning into a serious health problem. All Rocky can do is make sure he has what he needs and try to take care of him as best he can from afar, hoping they can get to safety before Grace's health is too fragile to recover.

    Summary

    As their journey to Erid nears its end, Grace allows himself to feel hopeful about the future. The Hail Mary has survived far longer than she was ever intended to, Rocky is practically vibrating with excitement about returning home, and Grace has more or less managed to stave off the worst effects of malnutrition. Things seem to be going well.

    Until he wakes up one morning with a fever and a harsh cough and is granted a stark reminder of just how fragile his human body truly is.

    Summary

    Eva Stratt has never been a woman who hesitates.

    She’s made countless decisions after decisions throughout her life, often regardless of the consequences that may result. She’s not an idiot. She’s well aware that there will be consequences, and she’s equally sure that the consequences will be of little concern. The end justifies the means — her actions will be judged, but at least they will have happened.

    But here, alone in a Russian conference room, for once in her life Eva Stratt does not know what to do.

    OR; The beetles make it home.

    "Mild sedation will be beneficial to avoid further damage.” Mary says, cool as a cucumber. Right. That sounds good. Great, even.

    And there was a needle coming towards me.

    Wait."
    ...

    Grace has made peace with not going home. Grace has made peace with his choice, and he would choose Rocky every time. Grace has not made peace with what happened to him before he left.

    Summary

    The capsule touches down on Erid about a decade and a half after I do.

    There's a message inside translated into fourteen different languages. Y'know, just in case I've taught myself - and then the Eridians - Afrikaans.

    Hey, it reads. Can we have our ball back, please?

    Summary

    Roche limit: the distance from a celestial body within which a second celestial body, held together only by its own force of gravity, will disintegrate because the first body's tidal forces exceed the second body's self-gravitation.

     
    As the distance between the Hail Mary and Erid shrinks, as the language and cultural barriers disappear, Grace's health deteriorates and Rocky's worries skyrocket. Scurvy, cabin fever, malnutrition, tension and arguments – their friendship is put to the test when they are faced with challenges they cannot science their way out of. When a sudden Taumoeba emergency disrupts their journey just as they are about to reach Erid's radio range, they are forced to take a detour to Threeworld's Petrova-line to prevent Grace from starving to death. It's one thing to complete a mission when at full capacity… but how do you tackle obstacles you cannot fix with math and engineering?
