  1. Summary

    (How a boy living in the desert falls in love, and then kidnaps, a teenager with ocean eyes.)

    Lance's strong, he knows this. It's something his Mama told him through daily phone calls, in every unspoken conversation between them after frustrating talks about finances and fake promises that it would be okay.

    But he can only hold out so long when it's just him, Keith, and wilderness of Arizona's deserts around them.

    This is the story of Lance's captivity over twelve months, and how even the strongest of people can break. But don't worry - Keith will be there for him. Whether Lance wants him or not.

    Update: There's now a soundtrack at my tumblr, https://anawriteshorror.tumblr.com/post/186960729489/im-only-doing-this-because-i-love-you-how-a-boy

    Summary

    As he stared down into the lumpy grey goop that was his evening rations, he contemplated whether it was really worth it.

    They’d come a very long way just for Grace to give up and die at the last hurdle, both physically and emotionally. The Tau Ceti system was a long, long way away now, and Grace had faced not one but two highly emotional suicide missions. Three, if you counted the time before he was given a military grade roofie and hucked into space without his memories.

     

    Rocky and Grace make it back to Erid! Huzzah!
    Now they have to navigate all of... that.

    Summary

    Every screen in the room blazed with the same breaking news feed. An alien voice had just asked for him by name on live television.

    “Mr. Grace?” little Jamal whispered from the front row, eyes huge behind his glasses. “Is that really you they’re talking about? Like, you you?”

    Ryland’s mouth opened, but nothing came out. His heart slammed against his ribs like it wanted to escape and hide under the desk with the class hamster. He was just Mr. Grace. The guy who drew cartoon planets on the board, who stayed late helping kids glue together messy dioramas of the solar system, who once spent an entire lunch period comforting a sobbing girl because her goldfish had “gone to the great fishbowl in the sky.” He graded spelling tests on vocabulary words like photosynthesis and asteroid. Aliens did not know his name. Aliens did not ask for science teachers.

    The marker slipped from his fingers and clattered to the floor.

    Summary

    When Rocky returns to planet Erid after 60 odd years, Adrian expects a beautiful reunion with their long lost partner and a happily ever after under a brightening star. Instead, they get an extremely codependent and traumatized mate, and a malnourished, creepy, leaky space blob, who are attached at the hip. Could Adrian learn to love this alien creature, or will it tear their marriage apart?
