  4. Summary

    I take a list of 20 random words, use each word as a prompt roll a d4 to see how many characters are in the fic, and spin a wheel to see which characters to include. A writing challenge I set for myself to get past writer's block, plus I love the mercs and I think they're a found family.

    Summary

    “Rocky?”

    “Apology, apology. Grace smart smart adult scientist. But sleep noises remind Rocky of small Eridians. Word is for young Eridians, first hatched."

    I pause rubbing the sleep out of my eye. Rocky just called me a baby. Or maybe hatchling would be the right translation?

    Summary

    Even with how entangled he’d find himself (consciously or unconsciously) in other peoples business, he didn’t altogether hate his ability. He was a scientist by nature, after all - forever wondering, forever curious - and to have a front row seat to a phenomenon so misunderstood, so unknown, so debated, was priceless.

    It was his own red thread, though, that proved to be the biggest problem in his ability.

    The most terrifying.

    Because of all the red threads he’d ever seen, he’d never seen one like his.

    He’d never seen one go all the way up into the air, entirely off of Earth altogether.
