    Summary

    “I’m so far from reasonable right now, you could do almost anything to me and I’d accept it if it helped,” he said honestly.

    She breathed in.

    “I’m worried about that, in a way—”

    “Stratt,” she looked at him. “Hand feed me oatmeal if you think it will make me sleep. Seriously.”

    She considered his words for a few seconds. Grace squirmed, unsettled.

    Her hesitation fell away, slowly but steadily.

    “Okay.” Then, just in case. “But you have been warned. This isn’t me trying to undermine you.”

    ____

    Grace couldn't sleep. He was desperate, and Stratt...

    She was his only option left.

    Summary

    "You’re overwhelmed,” Stratt said. There wasn’t any heat, any emotion behind the words. She was staring at him, hands clasped in front of her. She looked intense, as always, except she also looked soft. Her gaze was almost gentle, except it still had that underlying need for efficiency, that dry necessity everything Stratt did was tainted by.

    Grace stared at her, gripping his shoulders with his hands so hard his nails were painfully digging into flesh.

    “What do you want to do about it?” he bit out, more defensively than he’d intended. She’d use that against him. She was good at that.
    Stratt shrugged. She had that same expression on her face she always had, something oddly sad and solemn for a resting face.

    “I have tea and hot chocolate. I hear Americans like hot chocolate,” she said. She held his gaze for a moment more. She looked away slowly, eyes tracing the shape of the laboratory windows. “If you come with me, you can have some.”

    ____

    Grace is overstimulated, and Stratt only wants to make up for the fact that she made her scientist inefficient in the first place.

    Summary

    When Eva Stratt comes to recruit Dr. Ryland Grace for the Astrophage Crisis, she expects a useful expert. She does not expect a brilliant, tightly wound Little with a sunshine-yellow sweater, a locked-down regression, and a talent for becoming her problem.

    As the years of prep grind on and the project narrows toward Baikonur, professional necessity turns into something such more dangerous: trust, protectiveness, and the kind of care neither of them has time to want.
