    Summary

    “That means-” John was already shrugging off his coat. “We can’t leave it here.” He carefully wrapped the cat, lifting it gently into his arms. “Easy now, you're alright,”

    The cat did not move. But its eyes just barely slid open and then red met blue and Sherlock froze.

    Or, William murders a nobleman who had been practicing ritualistic curses on the lower class, only to become cursed himself and turned into a cat.

    Luckily enough, Sherlock just so happens to find him at the crime scene.

    Summary

    Sherlock wasn't sure how many times he read and reread the letter. Wasn't sure how many tears staining the paper were Williams or his own. Wasn't sure at what point he dropped the cigarette he didn't even remember lighting onto the floor. He would have clutched onto the paper, but he primally feared ripping the precious, oh so precious words that he tried desperately to engrave into his memory. Eventually he found his voice through the sobs that racked his body, “I felt the same,” He said it more to the air than to himself, wishing that a familiar noble filled that empty space, “This whole time, I felt the same way about you!”

    It didn’t have to be this way, he thought desperately to himself. He would make sure of it. He would save the man he cherished above all else, no matter if he didn't want to be saved.

    ======

    What if Billy only found William, and Sherlock spent three years thinking the only man who had understood him had died in his arms?

    Summary

    Three years after the probes carrying Taumoeba and Dr. Ryland Grace's final message arrive on Earth, humanity launches an interstellar spaceship with a brand new mission. Thirty-six crew members (including two graduates of a certain San Franciscan junior high school) travel to the star 40-Eridani to make friendly contact with the Eridians and bring them the alien life form from Tau Ceti-E that can save their star if Dr. Grace's sacrifice failed.

    Grace, now fifty-seven years old, is just trying to balance his life as a teacher while no longer being the only human on the planet anymore. It's a big adjustment, but Rocky and the Terra's Grace crew are going to make sure he's well taken care of.

    Summary

    “What are you talking about?” Grace's fingers played quick chords as he spoke. He didn’t even look as he did it, but it did not make them any less purposeful.

    “Discussing possible reasons why Tau Ceti is not infected while other stars are,” Eva replied deftly. “I would invite you to join, but we were just finishing—”

    “Oh, that’s easy.” His hand twisted a knob, and the notes came out sharper. “It is infected—Petrova Line and everything.”

    In Grace's opinion, dreaming about time traveling is no excuse for getting out of practice with his Eridian. To the rest of the Petrova Taskforce, it seems a bit odd that their resident Astrophage expert has suddenly taken to carrying a keyboard around and playing it whenever he speaks. Eva Stratt resolves to figure out what is going on.

    Summary

    Rocky stands at the entrance of the dorm.

    “Grace ok, question?”

    “…no bud. I’m not.”

    “…” Rocky seems to want to step forward, thinks better of it, then shrinks away at the admission, the ball wobbling as he takes a step back. On the far edge of the bed. Grace takes stark notice of the berth and feels cold. His fingers pluck absentmindedly at the sideseams of his shirt. “Grace upset. At Rocky, question?”

    Grace doesn’t respond right away, letting the question sink in. Rocky doesn’t push, for which he can only thank tirelessly. He can’t let himself relish in the final moments he will ever hold Rocky’s respect, not when they are so tinged with tension. He clears his throat.

    “Let me tell you a story, ok? I think it might help.”

    Or

    There’s this thing about waves: the longer they lap at wet sand, the denser it gets. And Grace is choking on sand that’s been there for years.
