Summary
Ian Gallagher never asked to be abducted by a roguish, grumpy, and suspiciously human-looking alien. And he doesn't know if he has lost his mind when the brooding Star Knight explains that Ian is supposed to be the messiah of an alien civilization all because of a retro arcade game.
Mickey Milkovich is the son of the last Messiah and the last thing he wants to do is travel to his mother's home planet to doom another person to her fate. Not that he is given a choice. But a simple retrieval mission soon becomes something more personal when he meets the bewildered redhead.
Together, they just might change the fate of the galaxy.
******
This is a greatly expanded version of The Starknight and the Gamer, which was a series of 20 drabbles.

Summary
On the run from the law, Mickey seeks shelter in the neighborhood he hasn't seen since he was eight. But something is very wrong. Doors are locked, windows are shuttered, everyone fears sundown, and where his childhood home once stood, he finds a pile of rubble and a severed arm.
Nothing about the South Side makes sense to him until he sits down at the bar next to a certain redhead. It has been sixteen years, but it feels like old times with Ian Gallagher... until it doesn't.
Mickey can't stay-- he's a fugitive from justice. But what choice does he have when his childhood best friend is trapped in a living nightmare? -

Summary
It's not an easy life, running cargo through space to the very edge of the sun's influence. Eighteen months ago, when Lip wanted to leave their ship, the Fiona Gallagher, Ian didn't think they'd be able to find another mechanic as skilled. Until luck delivers them Mickey. And don't get him wrong, he's brilliant at his job... but Ian needs more than that from the only other person on board his ship. Like an actual conversation that doesn't revolve around maintenance schedules.
In the present, a few weeks after an engine breakdown and a stressful space walk led Ian and Mickey to finally admit their feelings for each other, they reach the relative safety of Odyssey Station. They're hoping for some R&R, and time to enjoy the relationship they're just starting to build together. Odyssey has other plans. Dr Svetlana Yevgenivna needs passage to Earth for herself and some important research. And just to add insult to injury, Svetlana brings a complication even she doesn't know about.

Summary
In the middle of the night, in a house on a quiet street in suburban Chicago, intruders silently murder Ian Gallagher's family and load him into a black SUV. The operation takes less than two minutes. Ian will wake up at The Institute, in a room that looks just like his own, except there are no window. And outside his door are other doors, behind which are other kids with special talents—telekinesis and telepathy—who got to this place the same way Ian did: Mickey, Mandy, Geneva. They are all in Front Half. Others, Ian learns, graduated to Back Half, “like the roach motel,” Mandy says. “You check in, but you don’t check out.”
~~~~
In this most sinister of institutions, the director, Ms. Yevegina, on loan from a sister site in Muryevo, and her staff are dedicated to extracting from these children, at any cost, the force of their extranormal gifts. There are no scruples here. If you go along, you get tokens for the vending machines, serving drinks, snacks, and drugs. If you don’t go along, punishment is brutal. As each new victim disappears to Back Half, and his connections to the other subjects grow stronger, Ian becomes more and more desperate to get out and get help. But no one has ever escaped from the Institute.- Language:
