    Summary

    Scruffy beard, glasses, hair in disarray. He's in a simple button-down and jeans, no place to hide any meaningful weapons, and faces away from Driver—exposes his vulnerable side, forgoes line of sight—to crouch in front of two boys who have been so silent he only now notices.

    “C'mere,” the man mutters. He hoists one of them up and into his arms. The boy rests his cheek on the man's shoulder with a quiet sniffle, eyes squeezed shut. His small hands wrap around the man's nape in a death grip. He has a SpongeBob-patterned bandaid on his nose bridge.

    The other boy grips onto the man's shirt hem with just as much vigor, though his eyes are wide open. He looks up at Driver with pointed eyes, clear and devastatingly full of suspicion.

    They look at each other for half a moment of contemplative quiet.

    Then, softly, “What floor?” Driver asks.

    The elevator door closes.

    or

    Driver moves to the new apartment. Instead of Irene, his neighbor is kind teacher Ryland Grace with two twin younger brothers he's taking care of.

    Summary

    “To fully get you off the grid, you’ll be officially reported dead. In a prison riot, personal scuffle, eh. We’ll iron out the details,” Fitzroy said.

    His brothers loved him too much to leave him behind.

    He had to do it for them.

    Court knew this would break them. But they were strong, and they had each other. They could put themselves back together. At least this way, they could move forward. It was for the best.

    OR

    Court Gentry fakes his death so his brothers can move on and live better lives. It's the right choice, until it isn't.

    Summary

    "There's no need to negotiate for your safety, Doctor Grace," Stratt says carefully. "I can assure you, after saving the world, you will be looked after."

    "Um, no," he says, shaking his head. "I'm not negotiating for my safety." He steps aside. “I’m negotiating for theirs.”

    They appear in the brutal light of the open doorway, Simon squinting hard against the vivid sunlight, his hand raised to shield his eyes, and Rocky, who chirps a casual "Hello, humans!" with a wave.

    There’s a gasp; someone takes a step backward; one of the military personnel raises their rifle slightly before Stratt makes a sharp gesture for them to stand down.

    Grace doesn’t have eyes for them - he only looks at Stratt.

    And he decides, then and there, to replace the image of Stratt’s face sending him to his death, full of remorse and sadness, with the one in front of him: utter, complete disbelief.

    Grace thinks he'll treasure it forever.

    or: rocky and grace (+simon) go to earth instead of erid

    Summary

    “You ask so many damn questions, I want you to know that,” Sebastian scoffs, angling away from the other man.

    “You ask them, then,” Jacob says. He’s utterly rooted in place by how the sharp lighting makes Sebastian’s eyes a blue so clear he could drink from them, his hair being cast into the brilliant golden glow.

    “Alright,” Sebastian hums, fingers tapping the neck of his cocktail glass. “Are you trying to take me home?”

    Jacob is struck speechless for a moment. He hadn’t expected to be called out for his intentions so brazenly, used to playing cat and mouse with those he was trying to court.

    “Yeah,” he says, having to swallow dryly to get the words to come out. “Yeah, I am.”
