    Summary

    Carmy’s asleep fast, chest expanding with every deep breath he takes and Syd scratches at his chest and smiles. He’s so warm, a little warmer than he was when they first started dating. Granted, cuddling was kind of new for both of them, but she fucking loved it then, even with Carmen’s shy hands. It was always the exact thing she wanted right after service when her eyes were sore and her limbs were achey. Her boyfriend was always there with his eyes soft and his arms open.

    **********

    when carmy gets a bit insecure, syd faces it with him.

    Summary

    It’s been a little hard to get Sydney off of his mind.

    Not in a weird way, it just has.

    Maybe it’s in a weird way? Carmy doesn’t really know, and he tries not to give it too much thought. He knows what he knows and doesn’t what he doesn’t. And that’s okay because it has to be.

    Summary

    The Hail Mary has been shot out into the depths of the infinite void of space to search for an answer that may not even be there. Aboard, the three crew members lay in stasis as the ship hurtles like an arrow towards a distant star, with no hope of return, but a desperate hope to make things right.

    At home, two brothers are left in sudden and violent grief. A woman grapples with whether or not she made the right decision. The world strains and suffers under the weight of the coming Fimbulwinter.

    And then one of the beetles returns.

    Thirteen years early.

    Summary

    "You called me psychotic", Ryder says, "when I first met you."

    Ryland frowns. It’s not the answer he expected. “I think you’ve got a screw loose."

    There is laughter in Ryder’s eyes.

    “You done talking yet?” he asks.

    "Maybe."

    or,

    Ryland Grace doesn't really do sex. Tom Ryder doesn't really do feelings. And yet.

    Summary

    "- and Mr. Grace really took most of the fall for me and honestly I feel kinda bad because he's already in trouble with Principal Morita for that thing he said to the Brooklyn Visions' coach at the last Academic Decathlon and-"

    Peter's voice whittles down to a high pitched whistle, forgetting that he needs to breathe to continue creating more sound.

    After a few more agonizing seconds during which Peter weighs the possibilities that he just gave his mentor and the savior of the world a heart attack, Mr. Stark looks up at him, eyes suddenly wide.

    A beat passes.

    "What's your teacher's name again?"

    AKA, Ryland Grace and Tony Stark hooked up in college. This is fine, until 20 years later, Peter Parker gets involved. It's all downhill from there.
