Summary
“I want to try,” Cole says.
Mentoring, he means. Properly.
Haymitch’s answer comes a moment later, quiet and serious. “I know.”
“Is that… stupid?”
When Cole glances over, Haymitch looks at him intensely. “No,” he says. And then, after a beat, “You’re supposed to.”
In the silence that follows, Cole takes a drag of his cigarette. “Guess I’m an optimist," he mutters through the smoke.
Haymitch looks at him for a long moment. “Give it a few years."

Summary
The light hits first, wide golden and endless. It’s disorienting.
Above him the sky feels enormous in its vastness. High clouds drift lazily within pale blue stretching in every direction.
And then the booming voice of Claudius Templesmith rings across the arena, like a deity speaking to its patrons. “Ladies and Gentlemen, the 63rd Hunger Games have begun!”

Summary
When he’s ten, Orion recognizes Slytherin’s locket in the drawing room, lost amongst other nicknacks and cursed items, knowing better than to touch it.
He stares for a long while, wondering how he could’ve forgotten, before turning on his heel.
He remembers the story. How can he not? But it’s fragmented and jumbled in his head, blurring with what he knows of this life and the details he does recall don’t concern him.
There’s only so much one can remember about a book read a lifetime ago.
Orion has no interest in getting involved.
He has a life. A name. A duty to his family.

Summary
Ethan tips his liquor bottle to his mouth, intent on getting a decent buzz going before Heisenberg hauls him off to the castle, where he gets himself mauled by a Lycan again. Or speared up by deadly spikes. Or-
The alcohol burns on the way down.
Cheap vodka — again.
Liquor sloshes as he lowers it, propping it up on his thigh. “What’s the Theseus Paradox?”
Heisenberg’s brow twitches beneath the brim of his hat. “How quaint,” he murmurs. “A drunk man grasping at philosophy.”
“Answer the question.”
There’s a beat and Heisenberg shifts his grip on the hammer, metal creaking faintly as it settles against his shoulder. “It’s about identity,” he says finally. “Replace something piece by piece — every part, one at a time. At what point does it stop being the same thing?”
Ethan dies. Ethan wakes. Ethan dies. Ethan wakes. He's trapped in a cursed cycle on the worst possible day and he just can't seem to get it right. Can't save Rose. Can't save Mia. Can't do anything but die and wake up next to that overturned truck again.
Well. At least his aim gets better. -

Summary
Lalo seems as unperturbed as ever, spidery shadows twitching on his cheeks, when his eyes move behind his closed lids.
He’s still just mouthing along to the lyrics, his whole profile illuminated by the sun, every pore, wrinkle and hair follicle made visible, an effect only exacerbated by the slight sheen of sweat on his skin.
Unwittingly, Nacho’s reminded of that documentary on deep-sea life Jo and Amber had running in the background yesterday while they were high out of their mind. Of the anglerfish dangling a light in front of unsuspecting fish. Look at me, it screams. Dig your teeth in, gorge yourself. But just when you think yourself safe, when you get too close – a snap of teeth and you’re over. Done for.
Nacho is that fish. Perhaps even stupider, considering he knows exactly what he’s facing.
(AU in which soulmates can only speak the truth to one another, and Nacho's already crappy situation takes a turn for the worse when he's confronted with a sudden inability to lie to Lalo.)

Summary
When Grace gets seemingly teleported by means unknown into the SM-13 right as it was nearing The Light, both Simon and Grace have no idea what is happening. Grace knows he was supposed to be in his house on Erid, Simon knows this new guy cannot possibly be a hallucination, and Ava, upon hearing Grace ramble about theories for how he got there, knows that new guy is Smart. Could-Secure-Our-Survival Smart.
She orders Simon to bring Grace back to the surface, and thus begins Grace's ordeal in a starless universe. -

Summary
Simon didn’t expect his savior to be exactly his type.
What a welcome sight. Even if this stupidly handsome man ends up being evil, or working for the C.O.I, at least he’d die looking at something good.
or
Grace and Rocky find Simon's ship floating in deep space on their way to Erid.

Summary
It's been years since Doctor Ryland Grace saved Erid and Earth. He is content with his life, happy just to teach the next generation of Eridians and have the occasional game night with Rocky and Adrian in his dome. For the most part, nothing changes.
And that's the problem. Shouldn't Grace, y'know...age? When Rocky indicates that he should be sixty human years old by now, Grace can't reconcile the young face in the mirror with the time that his friend has religiously kept.
Things get more complicated when another undoubtedly human ship shows up at the edge of the 40 Eridani system. Suddenly Grace is playing ambassador between the two species, and tensions are rising between them. Will this be a successful second contact, or is the peaceful life Grace just wants to live too much to ask for?
