Summary
When Franziska has run out the precinct, Miles finally looks at Phoenix. The malice and fury in Phoenix’s eyes sends a sharp stab through Miles’s heart, but he keeps his composure; above all, he can keep his composure. This never changed.
“Wright,” he says, eyeing him with a challenge of sorts. “It’s been a while.”
“Edgeworth.” Phoenix’s voice is dripping with hate and emotion. “I thought you were dead.”
(Title is from Phoebe Brigders’s “Waiting Room”)

Summary
Steve thought it was his dumb, stupid luck that caused that spider to land on him. Him, of all people. Probably better than Jason Carver, though. Hopefully.
Eddie has, in fact, started to notice how late Steve is to classes. Sometimes he'll even count the bruises forming on Steve's body when he's bored. Not that it means anything. He hopes it doesn't mean anything.
It all became the new normal for the two very different, very separate boys. But, just like any other great love story, there's always a "but". -

Summary
Loki could not count on his two hands how many times he had been in this position. He had lived a long life, full of men and women and people. But the difference between now and then is that now was a life-saving procedure. And it was the one person in Loki’s multi-millennia lifespan that had managed to make Loki’s voice catch in his throat.

Summary
Grace and Rocky are on their way to Erid when they encounter a strange terrestrial vessel that has somehow made its way to space. The single occupant is alive and Grace and Rocky rescue him, but they are then faced with the challenge of gaining this stranger's trust and dealing with the contamination he brought with him.
*slaps roof of fic* This bad boy can fit so many near-death experiences in it! But also friendship! And fucking (eventually)!
***
"What do you WANT?"
“I just want you to live!” Grace threw up his hands in exasperation “Is that so wrong? Is that so hard to believe?!—” he lowered his hands and quieted his voice. It took enormous effort. “I just want you to stay alive, and I need you to just sit still so you don’t die.”
The man’s expression dissolved from roiling rage to bafflement. There was something else too though. Grace could see cogs spinning behind the man’s eyes. Something about that answer had stuck.

Summary
When Grace gets seemingly teleported by means unknown into the SM-13 right as it was nearing The Light, both Simon and Grace have no idea what is happening. Grace knows he was supposed to be in his house on Erid, Simon knows this new guy cannot possibly be a hallucination, and Ava, upon hearing Grace ramble about theories for how he got there, knows that new guy is Smart. Could-Secure-Our-Survival Smart.
She orders Simon to bring Grace back to the surface, and thus begins Grace's ordeal in a starless universe.- Language:

or, the Eridians find a man covered in blood and Grace hasn't been able to care for something in far too long.

Summary
“You live in an enclosure,” the man said. There was no venom in his voice. He was just stating a fact.
“Yeah, but… it’s nice. I have just about anything I could ever ask for. And back on Earth, well… there’s nothing for me there now.”
A new human, inexplicably, shows up on Erid, and Ryland Grace has to remember how to be a good host. Considering he hasn’t seen another human in about a decade, and this human is both distractingly handsome and incredibly traumatized, it’s safe to say that this might be a challenge… especially with Ryland still working through his own issues, even all these years later.
But he saved the entire world, so, how hard could it be to save one more man?

Summary
Miles would do anything to rip that gold chain from his wrist. Phoenix would do anything to pull it closer.
Being soulmates and sharing pain is not what either of them expects it to be.
