    Summary

    The engineer takes my hand. His skin runs hot. Very hot. He doesn't let go at what I would gauge as a socially-acceptable handshake time interval. Are we just holding hands in the middle of the lab-workshop space? Guess we are.

    "I'm Rocky," he finally introduces himself. He has a hint of an accent, something lilting, melodic. I can't really place it.

    "Rocky," I repeat, slowly. "Like the movies?"

    "No," Rocky deadpans, giving me a look like I'm stupid. "Like the rocks."

    Summary

    “Gosh…” I whispered, pushing my hair off my forehead and looking up at Rocky with what I could only assume were… “f-me” eyes with my lips kiss swollen and my glasses sliding down my nose.

    I trusted him. I’d never trusted another being so much in my entire life. I depended on him. We loved each other. I wanted him. And if he said that Adrian approved then I was stupid to say no.

    I took Rocky’s face in my hands and kissed him properly, my hips rolling against his as we found our rhythm through the clothing. It felt a little forced at first, but he was a fast learner and I was more than willing to adjust to what he needed. He nipped my bottom lip aggressively and I laughed into the kiss, even if it was a little bit too hard. How very un-Rocky like…

    OR: An Eridian cult leader kidnaps Grace and uses Rocky’s human body to abuse and break Ryland a little bit at a time. All the while Rocky and Adrian scramble to track him down before irreparable damage is done.

    Science runs on vibes here! We love academia in this house, but we don’t read fics for scientific accuracy!

    Summary

    “Knock Knock.”

    Ryland’s gaze was ripped away from the paper planets strung on his ceiling as the woman’s voice echoed through the otherwise empty classroom, sending a sudden chill down his spine. Stratt? He met her eyes from across his desk as she approached with that air of confidence she always had, so sure of herself and her decisions. She had brought with her a small satchel, one that Ryland knew instantly contained a copy of his research paper. 
    ...

    How did he know that?
    -
    -
    -
    A time-travel, sibling au where Ryland is sent back to the moment Project Hail Mary began, gifting him a second chance at reuniting with his brothers before returning to space. Now if only the brothers, who remember everything, can convince him to stay this time.

    Summary

    “What you holding?” He asks and motions to weapon i have aimed at my head, he doesn’t know what’s happening right now…

    “Oh it’s uh…an earth device…it makes people happy.” The lie slips out easier than expected, I feel my finger touch the trigger, am I really going to do this? Right infront of him? It won’t matter to me after, I’ll be dead but I don’t want to do that to Rocky. My head argues.
