    Summary

    Rocky is the last of his crew. He’s been the last for twenty-three (Earth) years. Every cycle it gets harder and harder to carry on, especially when he knows he’s the worst person for this impossible job.

    If something doesn’t change, and soon, he’ll be as dead as the crew-mates he cares for cycle, after cycle, after cycle.

    Summary

    I lived with this hunger long before the Hail Mary. This is nothing new. I’m fine.

    Right up until Rocky asks another question.

    “When last time you touch other human person skin, question?”

    Oh. Oh no. “When I… a few days after I first woke up here.”

    Rocky starts to relax for a split second, but then tightens when something occurs to him.

    “Grace crewmates dead when you wake up. You said this, statement. You not even know your own name, remember nothing, see dead bodies, confirm?”

    I nod, because if I open my mouth I will gag.

    “When last time Grace touch ALIVE human person, question.”

    I swallow thickly. I don’t answer aloud because I know Rocky can hear the hitch in my breath. My stomach churns with fresh bile. He senses my vital signs tick over into stress patterns and goes very, very still again.

    “Grace. When last time, question.”

    I clench my jaw so hard my temples ache, and beg him with my eyes to just stop.

    “Grace. Please say not when… when Evil Stratt humans put you to sleep.”

    I can taste grass.

    Summary

    Philip ‘tsks’ and hands him a napkin. “It’s just mass, love. Nothing to get so worked up about.”
    He doesn’t dignify that with a response until he’s mostly cleaned up. “Now, dear,” he says carefully, “if you want to go, you are more than welcome to do so. I, however, will be at home with Jelly watching our baking show.” He narrows his eyes. “Why do you want to go?”
    “Curiosity mostly,” Philip says mildly. “I’ve heard so much about your priest in Chimney Rock. Why not pop in for a visit?”
    Blanc sets his mouth in a firm, thin line and begins the spiel Philip hears every Easter. “It is an institution built on racism, misogyny, homophobia—“
    “—traits you’ve been very clear Father Jud does not possess—“
    “—you are being intentionally difficult—“
    Philip huffs. “Love, I’m not asking you to convert. I just simply am feeling a little nostalgic for my choir boy days.”
    “Then you go.”
    “You two could catch up,” Philip points out, completely sidestepping his argument. “What’s he been up to since the murder?” For the second time, Blanc is left dumb. His husband waits a moment before quirking an eyebrow. “You haven’t kept in contact,” he more surmises than asks.
    Benoit feels caught.

    Summary

    Some people don’t realise how integral capitals are to the functioning of the world, and to the dizzy spin of Stanford’s life.

     

    Or, science is about getting smashed on cheap beer and holding hands with your roommate and making terrible, awful decisions while Under The Influence.

     

    (AU where Stanford got in touch with Stanley and realised that they both made mistakes, and so maybe things won’t turn out as terribly this time around.)

    Summary

    At the end of DaMvtF, Bill traps Mabel in her Mindscape. To bring her back, Ford follows, leading to some conversations they both need.

    "On the other side of the portal, he had seen many things, some of which he could never forget. What he’d seen in Bill’s dimension had haunted his nightmares for 30 years.

    He thought he’d be prepared for whatever traps Bill might have lain in Mabel’s mind.

    He was wrong.

    The inside of Mabel’s mind is bright and sunny, not too hot but without the crisp edge of fall in the air. The sound of voices fills the air, and he’s jostled by people carrying cups and wearing brightly colored hats.

    Oh God, he thinks, with dawning horror. It’s a party."

    Optimistic post-DaMvtF speculation.

    Summary

    Ena scans down the short playlist on the phone her brother has handed her. She can't believe he's trusting her enough to show her his music. When she's seen all the titles, she taps on one at random. Ready Steady, it's called. She barely hears Akito's cry of startled protest before the world goes white.

    Or, Ena knew her SEKAI was empty. She had no idea how empty.

    Summary

    "By no means was Benoit boring, or unworthy of attention within constraint, but for the world media to be intrigued by his mystique, his old-fashioned ways and idiosyncratic way of speaking, well it didn’t make too much sense to him. That, mixed with testimonials of those in the room whilst he deconstructed the case, proved Benoit to be someone the media wanted to keep an eye on. An intense eye on. It was that Benoit didn’t enjoy. A whirlwind he had to pay careful attention to, moving with the wind and trying not to lose pace of a world that spun so frantically, trying not to lose sight of himself."

    Or, 5 times Benoit Blanc did not want to talk about a case to Phillip, and 1 time he couldn't help but monologue

    Summary

    The water runs brown for a while after he gets in. Jud isn’t one for long showers, but he figured that he had earned this with how these past few days had gone. After all, there would be a noticeable decrease in the church’s water bill if anything. He pushes his head back under the water at the thought, rubbing his hands roughly across his face.

    ***

    Jud is having a hard time coping with the recent events at Our Lady of Perpetual Fortitude, but at least he has company.

    Summary

    Winter settles over Chimney Rock and covers the church in a thick silence.
    The parish is closed, the pews empty, and Jud remains—the only priest, the sole guardian of a faith put to the test.

    He repairs the walls, tends the gardens, learns to live with solitude. Then Benoit Blanc returns, not to investigate, but to listen to what the cold and snow have not yet erased.
    Between overly bitter coffee, an awkward dance in the snow, and truths barely spoken, something persists. Something fragile, slow, and deeply human.
