    Summary

    Eventually, Simon opens his eyes.

    He was drowning, he's pretty sure – but this isn't the first time his brain has been fucked with since he allowed himself to be welded into this death-tube. At least this time, he's not vomiting up blood on the floor of the sub.

    He's not sure where he is, though. It looks like the inside of the sub, still, but everything is tinged red and his vision's a bit wobbly, like he's peering through water. He's sprawled on the floor with his back against the camera controls, and the navigation panel is obscured by something that looks like a thicket of branches that wavers in his unsteady view.

    Also, there's a dog sitting on the floor in front of him.

    Summary

    Maybe Riley has his stars. Maybe he’s always had too much faith in Benjamin Franklin Gates and Abigail Chase. Maybe he’s always yearned too hard and too recklessly for his own good.

    And maybe when he looks at them, he knows he’s seeing a future that can’t exist. Maybe he’s dreaming of a version of events where when they find Cíbola and there’s the rush of adrenaline in their veins and Abigail loops her arms around his neck and pulls him in for a deep, searing kiss that tastes better than the discovery of gold could ever feel. Where Ben pulls them both down into the bed and Riley finally gets the chance to worship them both and maybe, in his wildest fantasies, they return the favor to Riley.

    Riley knows rationally it could never happen, and yet-

    (In the aftermath of Ben and Abigail's break-up, Riley Poole makes the mistake of falling into bed with the best friend he's been in love with for years.

    But when a new treasure hunt starts up and Riley ends up on the hunt with the other friend he's been in love with for years, he's sure that the two of them are going to get back together and leave him behind.

    ...Ben and Abigail might have an argument to make against that.)

    Summary

    Ursula leans in close and murmurs: “It doesn’t have to be him, you know. You see that, right?”

    “Sure,” Grace shrugs, reaching for the glass. “What the hell. Let’s get married.”
