    Summary

    "Colt?"

    That voice he knew. Soft. Familiar. The kind of voice that had talked him through scraped knees and broken hearts and that one time he'd gotten spectacularly drunk after a stunt went sideways and he'd thought his career was over before Ryder picked him up and forcibly dusted him off.

    *Ryland.*

    Colt's eyes wouldn't focus. There was a shape beside the bed, blurry, backlit by that awful fluorescent glow. He tried to speak and managed something between a groan and a question mark.

    "Hey, hey, it's okay. Don't try to talk yet." Ryland's hand found his, finally something warm, solid, *real*. "You're in the hospital. You're safe. Just... just rest, okay?"

    Hospital. The word bounced around Colt's skull like a pinball, refusing to connect to anything meaningful. Why was he in a hospital? What happened? He tried to chase the memory but it slipped away, dissolving like smoke.

    Summary

    “Knock Knock.”

    Ryland’s gaze was ripped away from the paper planets strung on his ceiling as the woman’s voice echoed through the otherwise empty classroom, sending a sudden chill down his spine. Stratt? He met her eyes from across his desk as she approached with that air of confidence she always had, so sure of herself and her decisions. She had brought with her a small satchel, one that Ryland knew instantly contained a copy of his research paper. 
    ...

    How did he know that?

    Summary

    A Rocky POV of Project Hail Mary, but add in a sprinkle of originally named astrophages, petrova lines, language barriers, trauma recovery, and extra, extra worldbuilding. Includes pre- and post-canon!

    La traduccion al espanol by MichiHolmes! Gracias!

    ***

    One day, his strumming was not answered.

    The silence that answered his one verse of song was horrible and grating. Incomplete. Empty. A sick, horrible fear built up inside him.

    (He was going to die out here. Alone.)

    ***

    "Iz huhg," Grace sniffled out, sucking back in moisture from his noze, too. There was moisture and water and everything all over the place. "Huhg meens grayt, grayt, grayt affekshun."

    "Oh," he said tentatively. Another hewmin thing! He shuffled closest to the wall Grace was huhging and leaned in. "Oh. Am I doing correctly, hmm?"

    "Yis," Grace sighed out, calming down. He still leaked, though.

    Oh, well. Leaky hewmins were his favorite, after all.

    Summary

    "You can keep taking hits all night," Ryder crosses his arms. "But you know what? I can think of a few people who can't."

    He gestures behind him vaguely, one of the hired muscle nodding. Something in Colt's stomach twists.

    "That brother of yours is in town, isn't he?"

    -

    or: an alternative take on the torture scene from fall guy, coltland twins edition. what if ryder held up his threat?
