    Summary

    Eva Stratt, fleeing from ever shifting persecutors, embarks on a personal pilgrimage for repentance by secretly taking on the role of postulator for the canonization of Saint Ryland Grace. On the run and between her duties, she visits places they shared, places where his simple gestures worked on her like quiet miracles. Along the way, she collects seven relics for his veneration.

    (Those who learn from the past do not repeat its shortcomings, but historians still debate what they are—what this is. After her passing, the route becomes colloquially known as the Via Evae—a devotional for those who have offered up their loved ones at the altar of the greater good.)

    Summary

    The engineer takes my hand. His skin runs hot. Very hot. He doesn't let go at what I would gauge as a socially-acceptable handshake time interval. Are we just holding hands in the middle of the lab-workshop space? Guess we are.

    "I'm Rocky," he finally introduces himself. He has a hint of an accent, something lilting, melodic. I can't really place it.

    "Rocky," I repeat, slowly. "Like the movies?"

    "No," Rocky deadpans, giving me a look like I'm stupid. "Like the rocks."

    Summary

    "This takes you back, huh?" Rocky says with a wicked grin. With that, he presses against Grace even more, focusing on the point of contact below their stomachs. “Our first meet-cute…” When he rolls his hips lightly, Grace whimpers underneath him. “...happened just like this.”

    Or, Grace and Rocky recreate their first meeting, a little differently.

    Summary

    A routine EVA, a dead visor, and a private comms channel. She can’t see him. She can’t move. All she gets is his voice in her ear, talking her through it, and Ryland Grace has no idea what “talking her through it” is doing to her. Or maybe he does.

    UPDATE: Part 2/ Conclusion now added :)

    Summary

    You have a head cold. Ryland has a thermometer, a whole autonomic nervous system lecture prepared, and absolutely no intention of leaving. The problem is that your fever-addled nervous system has started filing requests that have nothing to do with tea or rest, and lying to him takes energy you do not have.

    He’s a very thorough caregiver. It’s basically doctor’s orders.
