    Summary

    Everyone is born in Sin.

    The first doctrine is Penance. Father used to say that suffering is the only way to earn your existence, and that the darkness will always demand its due.

    The second doctrine is Repentance. Back then, it meant weeping for your flaws and obeying who knew better than you. Being here, I am learning that it can also mean accepting you are allowed to survive.

    The final doctrine, Salvation. On Eden, it was something given only to the dead. It took me a long time to see the truth, that salvation isn't a gift. It's something you have to build for yourself.

     

    Or

     

    Grace and Rocky are Saviors of the Universe. They don't have any business tainting their halos with blood.

     

    (title from Dante's Divine Comedy: Inferno, Canto XXXIV)

    Summary

    “Knock Knock.”

    Ryland’s gaze was ripped away from the paper planets strung on his ceiling as the woman’s voice echoed through the otherwise empty classroom, sending a sudden chill down his spine. Stratt? He met her eyes from across his desk as she approached with that air of confidence she always had, so sure of herself and her decisions. She had brought with her a small satchel, one that Ryland knew instantly contained a copy of his research paper. 
    ...

    How did he know that?

    -
    A time-travel, sibling au where Ryland is sent back to the moment Project Hail Mary began, gifting him a second chance at reuniting with his brothers before returning to space. Now if only the brothers, who remember everything, can convince him to stay this time.

    Summary

    “Maybe ‘cause I’m a fuckup, and I’m- I’m a bad fucking detective, and a bad fucking dad, and a shitty person, okay, Healy? And-”

    Healy’s hand was at his throat, now, just barely applying the faintest hint of pressure with his thumb pressed into his Adam's apple. March’s eyelashes fluttered.

    Healy’s eyes were serious, genuine- “Jus’ start by being good for me, okay?”

    Summary

    "You called me psychotic", Ryder says, "when I first met you."

    Ryland frowns. It’s not the answer he expected. “I think you’ve got a screw loose."

    There is laughter in Ryder’s eyes.

    “You done talking yet?” he asks.

    "Maybe."

    *
    or,

    Ryland Grace doesn't really do sex. Tom Ryder doesn't really do feelings. And yet.
