    Summary

    The land of Gemeinplatz is a land filled with fantastical creatures, adventurers looking to slay them, and heroes looking to distinguish themselves from the adventurers. The most common of these heroes are those who come from Earth, who enjoy a most leisurely time with their cheat skills. It’s a perfect world, the utopia of those who wish to become overpowered and get their own power fantasy, where even the most everyman of the everyman can pull themselves by their bootstraps and become a hero.

    To satisfy the needs of heroes who can’t find function like a normal human being (which most of them can’t), the lucrative Gemeinplatz slave trade crushes the dreams and ruins the lives of hundreds every day. These slaves endlessly labor, in the harems of so-called heroes, at the mansions of the landowning “heroes”, and as rare materials for various dubious magical spells.

    In a world that looks down at them as demi-human, where the ruling class has no incentive to end this profitable trade, in which their oppressors are overpowered as all hell, what hope is there for the slaves?

    What hope is there, is named John Brown. This time, he’ll finish what he started.

    Summary

    ...someday it will kill you.

    When Fox deserts the GAR on a reckless quest to save another clone, Quinlan is tasked with finding him before the Separatists can. But the reasons behind Fox's actions aren't nearly as clear-cut as they seem, and the only way to figure out the truth before it gets them both killed is for Quinlan to get far closer to Fox than he intended.

    Summary

    The live broadcast has taken over everything—news channels, livestreams, doctor’s offices, the muted TVs bolted into corners of cafés and airports.

    The same feed repeats everywhere: the launch of the shuttle to the Hail Mary, Earth’s last desperate hope. Footage of the launch preparations alternate with prerecorded statements from world leaders, a scrolling bar of names and credentials sliding across the bottom of the screen. The astronauts’ portraits are displayed in sequence, their faces and names proudly displayed, honoring those brave ones willing to give their lives for the future of Earth.

    Yao Li-Jie. Olesya Ilyukhina.

    And Ryland Grace.

    7,130 miles away, Colt Seavers looks up at the Starbucks television screen and drops his coffee.

    ---

    Or, the AU where Ryland Grace has a twin, and Colt Seavers is not taking the whole “sent into space to die” thing quietly.

    Incidentally, Stratt doesn’t know that he exists.
