Summary
For three hours, he’s at the beach, takes off his socks and hikes Ilyukhina’s dress up, and stands in the water. He left the cane on the shore; it hurts to let his frame bear the brunt of gravity unsupported. The reliable tide, just cool enough to chill him a little, laps at his shins.
He closes his eyes and tries to forget about himself, the familiar ache in his joints and spine. Allows himself to imagine something else.
A different truth, a hypothetical, a thought exercise.
Rocky can't bear to lose Grace. But he can bear to watch Grace wither away from a sickness easily cured by Earth medicine even less.
Grace has to make another choice.
Or: After thirteen years on Erid, Grace leaves his true home for Earth. Eva Stratt lives to see him return. Earth takes note of the changes.

Summary
The thing about time is that it's relative. If something happens in one moment it also happens in every moment throughout all of its existence.
That is to say that when a fraction of a fraction of the King slips into Avery's mind on New Year's Eve, Avery also wakes up a year prior with omnipotence, a world's worth of grief, and his best friend's real-life address burning in his head.
Along the way he picks up a baseball bat. It's a necessary provision for smashing Derek's laptop into a thousand pieces before he can so much as launch Minecraft.

Summary
The pipeline from Big Shot to dumpster dweller wasn’t a straight path; no, Spamton spent years fighting to keep himself afloat. After five years of struggle, all he had to show for it was a shitty, dead-end job at a diner, a shitty garbage can, and a shitty body he could hardly recognize.
When he finds himself face-to-face with the very man who had left him for dead, both Spamton and Tenna find years of anger and resentment bubble to the surface. With the unexpected return of the laptop into the Dreemurr household, Spamton is left to work through repressed emotions, maintaining his job so he can pull himself out of the dump, and grappling with the sudden onset of prophetic dreams.
An AU in which Tenna and Spamton reunite five years after their split.
