    Summary

    “You need me to spell it out for you? Okay. Fine. I hate you. I –” The metal bar digs into his fingers. He squeezes harder. “I should have left you to die. I wish I had, because I will never forgive you. Once we’re back on Earth, I don’t ever want to see you again, if I can help it.”

    The survivors return to Earth, where staying away from Kepler proves harder than Jacobi thought.

    Summary

    This is real, I think. I don’t know how, or why, or frankly even what. But it’s real. It has to be.

    A shaky smile grows on my face. “Hello earth.” I whisper hoarsely
    “I’m home”

    But before I can even begin to bask in that concept alone, a horrifying thought strikes me. Home. Erid. Rocky.
    “Oh God-“ The soaring hope that built in my chest crashes down. The emotional swing leaves me feeling unsteady on my feet, I grasp harder at the windowsill, this time to keep my balance.
    Rocky.

    Summary

    Simon was prepared to die alone in the depths of a blood ocean for the sake of the remnants of humanity. He wasn't prepared to live a changed man - monster - in an entirely changed universe, with little memory of how he'd gotten there or who he was or what he'd done.

    Who the fuck was this Ryland person, and what did he want with him?

    Summary

    When he was just ten years old, Simon's life as he knew it was ended.

    His father was the first to be taken. He'd gone out scavenging for resources the day it all happened. Nearly four-hundred years of carefully guarding their secret, their very existence, and it was over in a fingersnap.

    26 years later, Ryland Grace is shopping at the meat counter when a peculiar discount catches his attention. After avoiding the uncomfortable topic of Tinies his whole life, Grace accepts the freebie that was handed to him, packaged and ready to be butchered. Maybe his science class would like to learn more about Tinies, then he can give it a proper burial and OH GOD IT'S STILL ALIVE--

    Summary

    Tymus shouldn't be here in Belle Reve. Not because he's innocent. He's not.
    His alien ass won't make it through the week, though.
    Not unless he can make nice with his radioactive, frustratingly attractive block mate.

    In other words: Dr. Phosphorus gets stuck with an alien outlaw who can match (and challenge) his freak... and Rick Flag Sr. gets weirdly protective (jealous) about it.
    Said alien outlaw is a threat to national security, after all.
