    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

    Simon waited.

    Waited for them to apologize. Tell him there’s nothing they could do. That he wasn’t worth the trouble or resources, that he wasn’t worth the time.

    But that never came.

    Instead, after a second Grace came back on the line, his voice sounding determined now. “Alright,” he said. “Hang tight.”

    Simon blinked slowly. “What?”

    The Hail Mary has been housing three for some time. The dinner situation is not going very well.

    Rocky can get along fine on Eridian food, and due to his mutations, Simon can too.

    It's Grace's lack of Earth rations that are the problem.

     

    OR

     

    Simon and Rocky have to watch as their saving Grace starves in front of them.

    Summary

    Grace has to handle First Contact with an alien planet with what meager Eridian his one set of vocal chords can make.
    This Is Fine. This is totally, completely, utterly fine.

    (Grace sounds like a pebble. This, alongside Eridian's extended lifespans, kicks off a chain of misunderstandings that Grace would find utterly mortifying if he knew what the heck was going on.)

    Summary

    The Hail Mary has spent the last four years on its return journey to Earth; its Taumoeba safely secure and its astronauts excited to finally return home.

    But Earth was never expecting their return, or the knowledge they bring with them.

    or; local earthlings startled to find out crew they sacrificed 26 years ago alive and well. also aliens exist.

    Summary

    It had been a long and difficult 27 years since the Hail Mary had launched. Not as terrible as it could have been, but not easy. Humanity had survived and adapted, as it always did. There had been terrible wars. There had been incredible acts of kindness. There had been massive scientific breakthroughs. And now, there were two distant blips of Petrova-light, picked up by the Deep Space Network, hurtling home. Two probes, braking hard as they hurtled toward Earth holding the secrets to its salvation. They were late, or at least, not very early, but they were here.

    Grace may have made his peace with dying to save Rocky, but Rocky insists they return to Earth.

    Summary

    Eva Stratt has never been a woman who hesitates.

    She’s made countless decisions after decisions throughout her life, often regardless of the consequences that may result. She’s not an idiot. She’s well aware that there will be consequences, and she’s equally sure that the consequences will be of little concern. The end justifies the means — her actions will be judged, but at least they will have happened.

    But here, alone in a Russian conference room, for once in her life Eva Stratt does not know what to do.

    OR; The beetles make it home.

    Summary

    “Grace. What are you testing, question?”

    Rocky. I can’t put this all on the guy right now. He should be happy. We are going to Erid. We are going to save his planet.

    “CBC. A complete blood count.” I answer, hoping he doesn’t ask me why.

    “Purpose, question?”

    Rocky, please. I’m trying to spare you right now.

     

     

    Basically, Grace gets exposed to a dangerous amount of radiation during an EVA and doesn't want to tell Rocky bc of what happened to Rocky's crew <3

     

    THIS IS A REWORKED VERSION OF "TEMPEST" - after some comments, I wanted to keep the soul of the story, but make it more scientifically plausible. While there are still probably some inaccuracies, I still hope this isn't as messy as before.

    Summary

    “What are you talking about?” Grace's fingers played quick chords as he spoke. He didn’t even look as he did it, but it did not make them any less purposeful.

    “Discussing possible reasons why Tau Ceti is not infected while other stars are,” Eva replied deftly. “I would invite you to join, but we were just finishing—”

    “Oh, that’s easy.” His hand twisted a knob, and the notes came out sharper. “It is infected—Petrova Line and everything.”

    In Grace's opinion, dreaming about time traveling is no excuse for getting out of practice with his Eridian. To the rest of the Petrova Taskforce, it seems a bit odd that their resident Astrophage expert has suddenly taken to carrying a keyboard around and playing it whenever he speaks. Eva Stratt resolves to figure out what is going on.

Then again, she supposed even as she fought to swallow the lodge in her throat, this particular human shouldn’t have been able to see the faceless that she’d been consuming either.

    Summary

    “ - t’sokay,” Rumi tries to assure Zoey, who's frantically hovering, but her words are slurred. “It only scratched me. I wasn’t bit.” Her back aches from where the werewolf had thrown her, but it’s nothing compared to the pain where its claws had ripped into her.

    “Why’d you push me out of the way?” Zoey demands, and there is so much pain in her voice that Rumi wants to reach for her, but Rumi’s hand won’t do anything but twitch uselessly at her ruined side.

    “Had to…” Rumi feels woozy, like she’s floating on a cloud, but she still manages a weak smile. “You were in danger… s’worth it…”

    “Idiot,” Zoey sobs. “You’re such an idiot, Rumi.”

    Rumi wants to laugh but it comes out like a cough, the sound thick and wet, as the red spills out past her smile in a rush.

    Ryu Rumi was trained to be a Hunter just like her mother before her. Until one night a Hunt goes horribly wrong and Rumi becomes the very thing she had sworn to destroy.

    Years since she fled Korea, Rumi firmly believes her past to be in the past.

    Only she’s never been that lucky.

    Summary

    Right before brushing her teeth, Zoey remembers the tonic pouch still sitting in her fanny pack. She toys with it, unsure, before finally making up her mind.

    Tomorrow would be their last day of rehearsal before the Idol Awards, the most intense. She could use the boost.

    She uncaps it, down the (surprisingly sweet) content in three big gulps, and dumps the empty pouch in her bathroom trashcan.

    Ready for tomorrow!

    As always, she spares a few minutes to doomscroll before finally wrapping herself in the blanket for the night.

    A cosy warmth envelops her body and she fall asleep, surprisingly serene.

    ___

    Mira is trying hard not to panic, so she doesn't notice what has Rumi turning to the bunched covers of Zoey's bed.

    Rumi pulls the blanket off and… inexplicably, the world feels both stranger and right again.

    A weird relief washes upon her, but the confusion remains, cristalized in one very simple question. "Why is there a turtle in Zoey's bed?"

     
    ___ Or. ___

    What if Zoey turned into a turtle two days before the Idol Awards?

    She wants them.

    She wants Mira and Zoey so badly, in whatever way, shape, or form that comes in.

    For once in her life, Rumi wants to be selfish.

    Or: HUNTR/X works towards sealing the Honmoon and falls in love along the way. Pre-reveal Rumi, hiding both her patterns and her wants, loves her girls in whatever way she can until she's free (whether that means shielding Mira and Zoey in fights or pretending to be something she's not). She just has to hold out until the Honmoon’s golden. Straightforward enough, right?
