Someone I have Loved but Never Known by Pebs (Atalto)

Summary
"Oh, Rus', hold on," Porter suddenly says, cutting himself off as he sits up from where he was leaning on Rusty's shoulder, "you- you got somethin' on your face, just a wee thing, hang on-"
As Rusty freezes, he reaches over with slow, tentative fingers, plucking something off of Rusty's bottom lip, and Rusty is convinced for a section that his lips will forever be branded with Porter's touch. A single yellow petal, almost comically bright in the darkness as it glimmers like gold on Porter's coal stained fingertip as he marvels at it like a diamond.
"Must've got caught in the breeze," he chuckles, holding it up and blowing it into the wind as Rusty feels his fuel lines get replaced with cold, heavy ice, "careful, Star boy, world's tryin' to decorate you."~~~~~~
In which Rusty develops flowers in his pipes, and Porter can never, ever know.

Summary
"I get it, don't fret." Even now Rusty is too forgiving, too kind in the face of a guy who tried to kill him. "I'm great now, better than I used to be - I dunno', I guess I should be thanking you guys in a way, I- I think I needed it, something to make me actually believe for once."
Believe? Believe in-
Oh, the Starlight.
~~~~
In which Rusty and Porter talk after the crash, and after rehabilitation, and Porter has to learn that his God might be a lot closer to him than he thinks.

Summary
It's Two's first day at the Troubadour yard, and there's quite a lot to take in. Shiny engines, races, the concept of being a working tanker on a working yard with a daily job and responsibilities and paperwork-
And the unreasonably attractive hopper who's giving them the guided tour.

Summary
"Wait," She repeats, breathless, "Stop running."
The man frowns, "We need to find the other people."
"There isn't-"
How did she know that?
Same way she knew Russian or that the dead guy was her friend. She just knew.
"There isn't anyone else."
_____________
Instead of passing away on the journey there, Ilyukhina finds herself awake on board the Hail Mary with no memory of how or why she is there and a random science teacher with the same memory problems to keep her company. Now, she just has to try and save the world while battling the random assortment of memories that threaten to undo the calm facade she had so carefully built up.

Summary
Rusty was… restless. He was still shaken from Heat Two. Watching Momma collapse after the race, Porter fussing over her with this worried look on his face, Momma's boiler cold in a way that was unnatural. It sent a chill down his spine.
And Hydra. The way they'd bolted the second they realised what had happened, like they'd done something unforgivable.
---
Rusty and Porter realise they have something in common. A shared interest in a certain hydrogen tanker. And they decide that tonight is the night that they're going to do something about it.

They were also learning that when Control said he needed a volunteer, if everyone else refuses, it's a sign that they should refuse too.
