    Summary

    The Hail Mary has been shot out into the depths of the infinite void of space to search for an answer that may not even be there. Aboard, the three crew members lay in stasis as the ship hurtles like an arrow towards a distant star, with no hope of return, but a desperate hope to make things right.

    At home, two brothers are left in sudden and violent grief. A woman grapples with whether or not she made the right decision. The world strains and suffers under the weight of the coming Fimbulwinter.

    And then one of the beetles returns.

    Thirteen years early.

    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.

    Summary

    "- and Mr. Grace really took most of the fall for me and honestly I feel kinda bad because he's already in trouble with Principal Morita for that thing he said to the Brooklyn Visions' coach at the last Academic Decathlon and-"

    Peter's voice whittles down to a high pitched whistle, forgetting that he needs to breathe to continue creating more sound.

    After a few more agonizing seconds during which Peter weighs the possibilities that he just gave his mentor and the savior of the world a heart attack, Mr. Stark looks up at him, eyes suddenly wide.

    A beat passes.

    "What's your teacher's name again?"

    AKA, Ryland Grace and Tony Stark hooked up in college. This is fine, until 20 years later, Peter Parker gets involved. It's all downhill from there.

    Summary

    “What – what?” Colt demands when they turn the corner. Set pieces roll by. Gail keeps pulling until they're in the trailer and the door is shut. Then, like a freak, she pulls at the shades. “Gail, you're doing that thing again.” 

    “What thing?” She peaks behind the blind one more time.

    “The thing you do when you make me think you're about to kill me,” he says, “or tell me that you've killed someone else.”

    OR, Colt Seavers tries to go back to his normal life after his older brother comes back from the dead. Unfortunately, his life is dedicated to fucking him over.
