Summary
“You? You’re…you’re the star?” his arm extends again seemingly without realising, but now Yusuf swats his hand away. “But you’re…”
“I’m what?” Yusuf’s eyes narrow dangerously.
“I just wasn’t expecting- I mean I,” the man appears lost for words. “You’re a person.”
“Observant aren’t you.”

Summary
Back when Joe had first leaned to draw, colour had meant nothing to him. He’d had pale chalks and dark charcoals as a child and had lost hours to sweeping strokes across paving stones.
Then colour had come into his life with all the subtlety of the man at its source. The world had burst into bold tints and fierce hues; endless possibilities for him to explore and with eternity to experience it all.

Summary
“King Lear,” Yusuf says proudly. “I didn’t think you were paying attention.”
“Of course she was,” Andromache interjects, “It’s a magnum opus of insults.”
Quynh grins up at her. “Oh, you worsted-stockinged knave.”
The retort is instant. “Brazen-faced varlet.”
“Ancient ruffian.”
Andromache shrugs. “Accurate.”

Summary
Shane Hollander is the youngest Commander in ISS history; straight-backed, closeted, and so tightly on his own leash that seven months in orbit with Ilya Rozanov have not produced a single crack in his composure.
Ilya Rozanov is the Russian cosmonaut who should have had his job, won’t stop bouncing a tennis ball off the walls, and is still looking for a fissure. Thankfully, a solar storm finds it for him.
or: Near-death, zero gravity, and the wrong man’s hands in exactly the right places.

Summary
On good days it was a low pressure system, dull and manageable.
On bad days it rolled in without notice, sharp enough to steal his breath for a second, but never long enough to justify leaving the ice. He felt the creeping increase like the buzz of static in the air before a thunderstorm, the way you could detect rain in the air long before it fell.
There was a quiet pride in that, even if he didn’t like to admit it.
