    Summary

    The hand is intact too. There is a small brownish mole on his wrist, so similar to Lestat's—but no, it must be ash that accidentally fell on that exact spot. His fist is clenched, curled up on itself. It is a typical sign of suffering, one that Louis has learned to recognize in the hands of all his victims. He can see a ring on his ring finger. It is a beautiful gold wedding band, adorned with two emeralds at each end. It is the same as Lestat's.

    OR

    Lestat dies during Mardi Gras, his body burning before Louis has the sense to pull him from the flames.
    Sooner or later, while wandering around Europe, he becomes obsessed with the concept of resurrection.

    Summary

    Whatever Lestat says next is nearly incomprehensible. Louis makes out the words Dee and everything and after-party.

    "I'm a little dizzy," Lestat admits. Then he sits up with a grunt and begins to unbutton his own shirt. He smirks at Louis, trying to look seductive, though he can hardly keep his head up or his eyes open. "But 'm good to go," he says.

    Louis' heart sinks. "What?"

    "S'why you invited me, yes?" Lestat slips his shirt off, revealing his shimmering, glitter-covered chest. "So, how d'you want me, mon— Louis? Hmm?"

    Lestat visits Louis' hotel room after his concert in Toledo.

    Summary

    Ryland Grace doesn't even bother trying to not cry when he sees the little house on the beach.

Instead of living alone on a spaceship forever he can live on Erid. They made him a bedroom. They brought down Armando. Grace sits on the floor and focuses on breathing evenly.

    Is good reaction, he hears Rocky tell Adrian. Leaking sign of strong emotion. Grace often have strong emotion.

    “You flatter me.”

    Grace shakes her head. “I— I really don’t mean to.”

    “But you do.” Adrian insists. “You name planet that saved the universe after me. You name planet that seeded all life after me… now you tell me that I am something humans would like to adorn themselves with?”

    Summary

    Grace squeezes out a wet chuckle, thick with emotion, before suddenly falling silent. Its mouth does that strange up-down up-down movement, like it’s trying to figure out if it’s perplexed or amused. “Wait a minute—“ The human flops on its side to face them.

    “Rock, that almost sounds like I’m your kids’ \.\\.”

    “New word.”

    “Uh… companion animal.”

    Ryland Grace went into a coma 10 days before the Hail Mary launched, and his crew were put into their own comas. Turns out there's a ten-day difference in wake-up time, too; and, unfortunately for Ilyukhina and Yao, ten days is enough time to make first contact.

    Summary

    It is accustomed in mating rituals that Parent A will lay half-baked, minuscule eggs inside of parent B, as a defence mechanism against extinction. All it takes is the right conditions to be met for their body to allow the permeable merge, where they lay those eggs independently.

    This has become so far and few in-between, most eridians practice it during their partnership and think nothing of it. That is until Rocky’s body decides that the Hail Mary, on the journey home, meets those extinction conditions to a T.

     

    In other words, Rocky lays eggs and Grace has absolutely fuck-all idea of what to do.

    Summary

    He sees them round the corner, Rocky's brown and green carapace leading ahead of a larger Eridian. They were a gradient of blues and greens, the colors reminded him of turquoise, or maybe jade, and had spots of warm black dotted around their form. They had a splotch of brown on one their arms, mirroring the one he has seen on Rocky.

    "Grace!" Rocky bounds over, the other Eridian swiftly coming with him. "Grace meet Mate Adrian. Adrian meet Friend Grace."

    It really is them Grace thinks, giddy with joy.
