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.

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
"The older man’s face softens and he looks back at Ian so warmly that it makes Ian feel whole for the first time in weeks. It’s strange, the inchoate swirling amalgam of joy and dread that spreads across his chest at the very sight of Mickey’s stupidly beautiful face. It is almost enough to make Ian forget the weeks of sleepless nights and days full of turmoil wondering what became of him. Almost."
---OR----
Ian is crushed when Mickey runs off. When Mickey returns saying he wants to introduce Ian to someone new, Ian thinks Mickey came back just to pour salt in the wound. But the person Mickey brings home will change their lives forever.
