Summary
Quick decisions aren’t necessarily less complicated. Especially when they involve leaving the planet.
(Or: an exploration of Aleida’s emotional arc in 5x01-5x03…because I needed it. Also: a sort-of love letter to Rosales family generational dreams, and to Margo for furthering them).

Summary
At NASA, Bill’s all for Aleida following in his and Margo’s footsteps. Outside of work — as far as he’s concerned — she’ll be much better off charting her own path.
(Or: Bill’s more complete version of that story Victor recounts in sparkle_platypus’ wonderful fic “12:01 additional scenes and one-shots,” Chapter 5).

Summary
My take on Aleida’s personal and emotional journey between Seasons 2 and 3 as she becomes a U.S. citizen, senior engineer, wife, mother - and perhaps most of all, Margo’s girl. Starts in 1984, some months after Apollo-Soyuz.
Multi-chapter fic, mostly from Aleida’s POV but with a healthy sprinkling of other perspectives (Margo, Victor). Fic and chapter titles are from the song “Turns Within Me, Turns Without Me” by The Paper Kites.
