    Summary

    The concept of dreams would be so fucked up to a species that goes into a coma every time they sleep.

    Summary

    The live broadcast has taken over everything—news channels, livestreams, doctor’s offices, the muted TVs bolted into corners of cafés and airports.

    The same feed repeats everywhere: the launch of the shuttle to the Hail Mary, Earth’s last desperate hope. Footage of the launch preparations alternate with prerecorded statements from world leaders, a scrolling bar of names and credentials sliding across the bottom of the screen. The astronauts’ portraits are displayed in sequence, their faces and names proudly displayed, honoring those brave ones willing to give their lives for the future of Earth.

    Yao Li-Jie. Olesya Ilyukhina.

    And Ryland Grace.

    7,130 miles away, Colt Seavers looks up at the Starbucks television screen and drops his coffee.

    ---

    Or, the AU where Ryland Grace has a twin, and Colt Seavers is not taking the whole “sent into space to die” thing quietly.

    Incidentally, Stratt doesn’t know that he exists.

    Summary

    On the desk was a collection of items, some there before, some supposedly looted off of Grace by the guards – a watch, some bracelets, a wallet, a key ring, and a graffitied note on the surface of the desk.

    🝰

    After Grace gets put into a coma and dragged off to the Hail Mary, Stratt goes through and reminisces about some of the items he had.

    Summary

    Christ, what had they done? How hard do you have to fuck up in order to blow a building to pieces? Knowing astrophage, not that much. E=mc^2 is a bitch. One little fuck-up, one tiny mistake, and you and everyone around you is dead.
