    Summary

    „You know who you are,“ Carl says softly.
    The world fades to black.
    He bolts upright in his cot, gasping for air, the low hum of the Vat vibrating through the metal floorboards.
    Oh, fudge.

    or, the one where Ryland wakes up over and over on the day of the goodbye party on Stratt's Vat, after the launch of the Hail Mary. His friends die, or he dies, and his boss-friend repeatedly sentences him to death. He just wants it to stop.

    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

    “I just think it’s kind of a messed-up thing to do to a baby,” I said.

     

    AKA: the one with time travel. When the opportunity arises, Rocky and Ryland can't turn down the chance to save Rocky's crew.

    It all kind of spirals from there.

    Summary

    Alternate Title: Preghe, a Singhe Dadhe in Abysshe

    His robes did nothing to muffle his scream. Outside, the monster stopped, sensing a warmer meal. This was it. He was dying in a hole in the Endless Abyss. Luo Binghe deflated, shivering, shuddering. Minor tremors wracked his body. Claws scratched at the entrance of his sanctuary.

    Then there was another scream.

    From his mouth? No, that didn’t seem right. Mentally, he tried to turn it off, to stop himself from screaming, and belatedly, he realized that it wasn’t coming from him. It echoed off the walls of the cave though, and it was shrill, blood curdling. The beast outside?

    He spat the robes from his mouth, not wanting to look at the mess between his legs, but if he was going to die here, he would see what killed him.

    Oh.

    Oh, that was a baby.
