    Summary

    "No!- no!- stop-" Ryland squeaks out, watching his legs lifting upwards, he frantically waves his arms around to hold on to something

    his body staggers around the already small ship, hitting the walls as he flails his arms around and kicks his legs

    He grabs onto the pilot chair and clings as hard as he can.

    "Breathe Ry, breathe" he says to himself

    "Remember-" he huffs out "W.W.C.D, What Would Colt Do" he murmurs out, eyes shut

    Ryland breathes in and out, giving him some peace of mind, until his head jerks up and he realizes what he said

    "Who the fudge is Colt?"

     

    And just like that, Colt's heart breaks into a million pieces

     

    Or,

     

    Ryland Grace wakes up 11.3 light years away from earth in a white sterile space ship in the middle of the vast of nowhere with no memories of his life back on Earth, alone.

    If only he knew about the blinking cameras around the ship live streaming everything back to earth.

    Summary

    “Eye movement detected.”

     

    For Courtland and Colt, it's been the mere blink of an eye.

    For Ryland, it's been nearly eight months of fighting to survive in the situations he has found himself.

    So, when Court and Colt finally do wake up, mission completed, travelling away from Earth, and are faced with a brother who they don't quite recognise, how do they even begin to get back some semblance of normal? And more importantly, of family?

    Summary

    When had they stopped being so close? College, when Ryland retreated to the east coast and Colt hitch hiked to Hollywood? High school, when Colt made friends outside of Ryland for the first time? When had they grown so far apart that Ryland couldn’t help Colt heal?

    “I just,” he sniffed, “Did I do something wrong? I’m sorry if I did. I know we aren’t as close, but I don’t understand why you’re pushing me away.” the tears were falling faster, he couldn’t stop the words, they had built up for too long at this point.

    “Ryland. It wasn’t just you I was pushing out. I didn’t want anyone to see me like that.” The light turns green and Colt starts moving again. “I-” Colt groans. “I’ve thought so many times about what I could say to you, to apologize. But, nothing ever seems like enough, y’know? And then it just seems easier to not, y’know, say anything.”

    Ryland knows Colt well enough to know that’s the best apology he’s going to get. He swallows down his own anger, even if he wants to shout ‘can’t you try?’. He clenches his jaw, turning to look out the window.

    OR

    Ryland is present for the events of The Fall Guy, and it changes some things. Along the way Ryland and Colt reconnect.

    Summary

    “Grace is [UNKNOWN].” Rocky said helpfully.

    “What?” Grace looked down at his companion, already half distracted from the pain. His fingers find his laptop like muscle memory, drifting to log the new sound while Rocky repeats, slow only the first time.

    “[UNKNOWN]. [UNKNOWN]. [UNKNOWN]. [UNKNOW-] Grace need puppet-show, question?”

    -

    Ryland Grace is not the most graceful person.

    Summary

    With the dismantling of the Sierra Program, Courtland Grace (formerly Gentry) can finally focus on those he left behind. Reuniting with his brothers is his top priority, and striving for some normality.

    But when Ryland confesses to being caught up in something much bigger than either Courtland or Colt can begin to fathom, the small life he had only just begun to build again threatens to come crumbling down.

    Or, how far would family be willing to go to stay together, despite the odds?
