    Summary

    It's not an easy choice.

    I wish it was. It's stupid, because it would be a lot more poetic that way.

    Summary

    It's been a full year of living in close quarters on the Hail Mary. Grace was bound to mess up eventually.

    If Grace was still on Earth, he would have plenty of options for places to go. A quiet park, maybe a movie theater, a walk on the beach. Something like that. As it is, stuck on the Hail Mary, he just doesn’t have that many options of places to go after a fight with his roommate.

    Summary

    Delusional, this entire thing. Like some Make-A-Wish dream. I'm going to kill myself tomorrow; here's what I'd like for my last day on this mortal plane. To be fucked by a man who hasn't seen him that way in years. To stand in the shower and have someone wash his hair. To eat one last breakfast. To be held. And Jack, pitying him, still, because Robby's always been the one of the two of them who can't handle shit.

    Summary

    One thing that Rocky has learned about humans is that they like to look at pictures.

    Maybe. Or maybe it is just a particular habit of his Grace, who seems to pass more and more time sitting in the projection room and looking at his rolling images of Earth.

    Rocky likes Earth. Especially the beach. That’s Grace’s favorite place, too.

    But the pictures don’t change. Not more than they did the first time Grace showed him, with the waves crashing up onto the sand and the leaves of the trees rustling in the wind.

    ~~~

    Rocky's perspective of Grace's depression on the journey to Erid.

    Summary

    One Grace-sleep is not so long.

    It is not “night,” but Grace calls it night, and so Rocky does too. One human night. One third of one human day. One three-hundred-thousandth of Rocky’s life so far.

    This is what Rocky tells himself. He folds up on his xenonite shelf above Grace’s sleeping area, and he listens, and he fiddles with his clock, and he tells himself that it is not so long.

    ~~~

    Rocky has lived through the deaths of many of his friends. He does not want to lose Grace.

    Summary

    “You really think, after all we’ve seen together—hell, after all I’ve seen, you’ve got something crazy enough in your head that it’d scare me off?”

    “Yes,” Robby answered, so earnest and true that it broke Jack’s heart a little.

    Summary

    Robby's temper gets the best of him during handoff, and Jack ends up taking shrapnel from a fight that wasn't his. He didn't mean to snap. He didn't mean to humiliate Jack. But he did and the second the words leave his mouth, Robby knows he crossed a line.

    The apology at home is hesitant, rough around the edges, and completely genuine. And Jack, still hurt, still furious, gives him a chance to make it right... in the ways only they know how.

    Summary

    Jack just laughed and shoved him a little harder into the door, a visceral, physical reminder: he was in control now. He expected Robby to bitch him out, sharp like he got when cornered—

    Except instead Robby slumped, his breath out almost relief, like all the fight had drained from him. He didn't say anything, just took a few shaky breaths, body shivering under Jack's—

    ...oh.

    Summary

    “Say you got married,” Robby found himself asking. “Would you wear your dress blues? Or civilian clothes?”

    It had only been an idle thought, no different than any number of easy, directionless musings of the sort that often came over the two of them on mornings like this one, when no one had a shift to go to for at least thirty-six hours. Robby didn’t mean anything by it. But he regretted the words the instant they left his mouth, even before he saw the incredulous grin slide over Jack’s face.
