    Summary

    Ryland doesn't know where he is, what he's doing, or why he's doing it. All he knows is that he's in a universe with no stars and that an organization called the COI found the Hail Mary spinning out into deep space. He knows that Rocky may be injured somewhere, and he knows that the man that currently lays in a hospital bed in front of him should be dead as dirt but has miraculously survived.

    He knows he has been given an ultimatum. Find out what brought Simon back to life or never see Rocky again.

    The task proves more complicated than he thought.

    Summary

    The tree?” Ryland asked before he could think better of it. “Only one?”

    “There was only one left after,” Simon answered. “We watched it slowly die.”

    There's a new passenger on the Hail Mary, and Ryland doesn't know what to make of him.

    Summary

    "I have survived international conspiracies. I have navigated minefields. I can handle a five-pound orange domestic shorthair."
    "Can you, though?" you tease, leaning back and watching him with a playful, expectant look.
    "Because so far, the score is Cheeto: two, Leon:zero."

    ──────•✦•──────

    Leon falls victim to the cat distribution system.

    As an emergency vet, you have strict rules about giving out your personal number to clients. But when a soaking wet, broad-shouldered man walks into your clinic holding a shivering neonate kitten like it's a live grenade, you make an exception. Strictly for cat emergencies, of course.

    (It does not stay strictly for cat emergencies. Not when he keeps using "suspicious sneezes" as an excuse to see you)

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Such a great exploration of Dante’s depression/suicidal ideation. Mind the tags. Some nice fluff in the last piece.

    Summary

    She wished he wouldn't look at her like that. Leon had such a kind face when it wasn't creased with worry or anger or effort or fear. And anyways, she was perfectly fine.

    Strange that she seemed to be sitting on the floor, though.

    "Hey, Ashley. You passed out."

    Ah. Well.

    That explained the floor.
    -
    Or, Ashley passes out from exhaustion in the Castle, and finds herself a little too fascinated with the way the candlelight glows on her rescuer's face.
