    Summary

    “No.”

    “N—what do you mean, no?”

    “I mean no. We don‘t have a deal.”

    Edward took a deep breath, forcing himself to stay calm. He‘d just punched out one God, and this one was skirting the line. He was exhausted, his entire body hurt, he was dizzy with blood loss and he just wanted to take Al home.

    “You‘re telling me my Gate isn‘t enough of a toll?”

    Truth tilted its head, a thoughtful twist to its impression of a mouth. “It‘s enough”, it said, “but I don‘t want it.”

    --

    Edward bargains something else for Alphonse's body, because there's nothing he wouldn't do for his brother.

    Summary

    Tim was right.

    Maybe he hadn’t really made it out of the museum whole.

    Maybe there was no more Jonathan Sims left to save.

    -

    Even though he survives the Unknowing, Tim can’t find it in himself to forgive his boss.

    Lucky for him, Jon doesn’t forgive himself either.

    When Jon makes amends in the only way he thinks will matter, Tim is left grappling with the shadow that remains.

    Written for the Rusty Quill Big Bang 2022.

    Summary

    Ryland Grace woke with a start, opening his eyes before quickly squeezing them shut against the bright light of the room. His head was tipped back, the top pressing back into a soft surface. Turning his face to the side, away from the direct view of the light, he gave a few cautious blinks until his eyes adjusted. After a moment, he carefully looked up, rolling his head into an upright position to look around the room.
    It featured two rows of reclined leather chairs, the back row elevated slightly above the front. The right arm of each chair featured a few buttons on a small keypad. In each seat there was a member of the Project Hail Mary research and mission team. Most of the members were blinking awake like he was, although some were still unconscious.

    or
    The members of the Project Hail Mary find themselves in a cinema, forced to watch a film which supposedly shows their future. Their captor tells them this will allow them to save Earth (and Erid) but how?

    or
    A watching the film fic because every fandom needs one.
