    Summary

    This is my contribution to the 2021 RNM Fanfic Remix event. It was inspired by irolltwenties's lovely and atmospheric "No Time to Say." Specifically, this section:

    "Alex Manes was a smart man. He spoke five languages and could dance around the typical levels of security on a server with ease. He could field strip a rifle, play the guitar, and keep his mouth shut. Alex Manes was a smart man, but the moment he understood he couldn’t have told anyone his name, let alone spoken aloud. Cosmic. Cosmic.

    Alex Manes’ was a Marked man. He’d been tracing the gentle rolling pattern of lines and dots on the inside of his wrist for so long it seemed rote. He knew the exact curve it took, the geometry of the angles. He knew this mark and suddenly, with one word and the hope of his heart in his throat, he understood. His mark never moved because it was a static star map that could be traced back to the moment of the Event: the 1947 crash at Roswell. His mark didn’t move because his Match had been waiting for him."
