    Summary

    Papers are contracts. Stratt signs hundreds every day. Their marriage certificate was not special in that regard; just a document to legally bind them together, as Ryland had wanted.

    It wasn't what he wanted though. Or, it wasn't all of it. With every day that passed that Stratt seemed no more inclined to let him past her walls than before, he came to the sinking realization that she had little intention of actually being married.


    Here are some things that make being married to Eva Stratt exceedingly difficult:

    • She wants for the world, but not herself; trying to do nice things for her is like pulling teeth
    • She trusts Dr. Grace with the mission, but she does not trust Ryland with her heart
    • And this really should not hurt so much, because it's Stratt, but— she cares about him the way she cares about a coworker; or the way she cares about every human in the damn universe. She does not care about Ryland. Attraction does not equal affection. And with every day she does not acknowledge their marriage, it becomes clearer that towards Ryland, she feels neither.

    If she were the moon, he'd dedicate himself to orbiting her, wherever she'd go, he would follow, her tide, her stars, her pull on him.

    Summary

    Geralt had known Jaskier studied at Oxenfurt University, but he had thought of it as a sort of formal music education. It was becoming abundantly clear that while he had indeed studied music and composition, he also knew a lot more than Geralt had ever learned. And it was impressive. And humbling, too.

    Summary

    The plan is this:

    He will note all the things that annoy Geralt, and he will stop doing them, and then Geralt will want him around.

    It will work. It has to work, because Jaskier cannot be left behind.

    Summary

    Ryland Grace wakes up, goes to work, feels the rain on his face, teaches his students, cries over the galaxy, and dreams about a rock.

    Wait.

    What's that last one all about?

    There is a feeling in the back of his head like he's forgetting something. Is he forgetting something?

    Summary

    Rocky knows that Grace is considered an adult for his species, but his hindbrain goes crazy when he finds out he’s in his 30s. So that’s why he’s been feeling weirder than normal. His alpha instincts think Grace is a pebble.

    Summary

    The video transmission reaches Earth and is seen by the woman who helped save the world.

    Update: 5 years later I get back from the movie theater to see that they actually included a bit where Ryland sends a video message to Stratt. Imagine my mind being blown. Go see the movie. It was an excellent adaptation

    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.

    Summary

    Sokka isn’t stupid. Not that his sister is, mind you (at least, he’d never call her that to her face now that she’s honed her waterbending), or any of the rest of Team Avatar, although sometimes it feels like he’s living in a different world from the rest of them — a world where running out of food means starving, and walking into a town full of firebenders with the Avatar in tow will get you killed, rather than help you free a beaten-down Earthbender colony.

    Anyways.

    Sokka isn’t stupid, which is why he laughs directly in Aunt Wu’s face when she tells him that he will marry the Fire Lord.

    Summary

    Jannik doesn't open his eyes. The tip of his nose disappears under the edge of the sheet as he settles again, his breath going long and steady, each slow exhale catching for a second in the back of his throat.

    Carlos can't look away from him.

    Jannik has freckles on his eyelids. Carlos hadn't known that, before.

    Summary

    He’s rotting from the inside out.

    That’s what it feels like. He prays for the clean decay of autumn leaves, beautiful and purposeful. He receives the rot of fruit left too long in the sun, of meat gone bad, of something organic turning wrong.

    The fear that he’s a bad boyfriend by being this broken thing, collection of malfunctioning systems held together by athletic tape and stubbornness and the increasingly disgustingly desperate need to keep performing, keep winning.

    He’s breaking well into his twenties and ranked number two in the world and his body is giving up on him.

    Or maybe he’s giving up on his body.

    Summary

    Hermione frowned. “The real question is why the magic of Britain would be failing now, in fact.”

    “That is not the real question!” Ron said loudly; he’d woken up fully by now, and Harry had too; it was starting to sink in that they’d found the problem. “The real question is, how do we fix it?”

    Summary

    They used to do this all the time. Before.

    Today had felt a lot like before, for Novak. He had stepped, for a few glorious hours, back in time by a couple of years, just the couple of years necessary to make him a God again. A real one, not just an ancient one.

    He could be excused for falling into old habits.

    Or:

    Novak is not a good man, but he ends up doing something even he didn't mean. Someone will have to pick up the pieces.

    Summary

    When he was little, Jannik never wondered why the moon was broken.

    It had always been a jagged mess in the night sky, defiantly orbiting around them even in its ageless tiredness. He never felt like it might be missing something because, to Jannik, the moon had always looked like that.
