    Summary

    There's 1 in 70,000 people on the planet who have the gene needed to survive the Hail Mary's expedition. In that limited pool, 1 in maybe 1000 had the necessary skills needed for the mission — more dire still, even less people were willing to volunteer for what is essentially a suicide mission.

    When an explosion killed not only their science officers but also their engineers, Eva Stratt makes the tough decision to put 2 people on the spacecraft that no one was expecting to be even be candidates.

    One is a middle-school science teacher.

    One is a convicted eco terrorist.

    And I wish I could know you much more sometimes
    Wish I could do nothing with you
    Sit in the yard while the day dies, leave it all on the table
    And I'll say I love you and mean it this time
    Say I'm sorry for everything else
    If we found a way to the other side, I'd be willing and able

    Summary

    "I'm not lying to you now. I didn't steal the art."

    "I think you did."

    "Then prove it."

    "I can! You want proof? I have it."

    In which Peter is honest with Neal about his reason for believing he stole the treasure, Neal realizes then and there that his paintings were in the fire, and all of season three of White Collar just might be better for it.

    Summary

    Curled up at the back of the closet, against the wall and very unsuccessfully trying to hide himself behind the edge of a box of hazmat suits, is Simon.

    Grace stares. Simon stares back, seemingly frozen. He's sitting on the floor, legs curled up, hand halfway through shielding his face. The lighting isn't great, but his cheeks and eyes shine in a way that clearly show he's been crying. A lot.

    "Oh my gosh," Grace starts, panic lurching into sympathy and quickly joined by shock. "Simon?"

    ***

    Simon has barely age regressed before, and never in front of anyone else. But after the events in the SM-13 and while traveling with Grace & Rocky back to Erid, he needs new ways to heal.
