    Or: Ilya tries to have one difficult conversation as Shane’s captain. Shane tries to fix the entire problem by fixing himself.

    Summary

    “If you wanted to see me that bad, you could’ve just asked me out.”
    There’s a choked sound from the chair. A muffled laugh, quickly swallowed.
    Buck’s eyes flick, just once, toward the chair, and then he flushes so fast it’s equal parts alarming and endearing.
    “I’m fine,” he says, each word coming with its own zip code.
    He always does that. It’s their routine, their little dance. He tries to bolt, she gives him a reason not to, without calling him out. He acts like it doesn’t hurt, she pretends she doesn’t notice the way his jaw tightens, the tremor in his hands.
    This time, though, it doesn’t get that far.
    “What you are is stubborn,” the guy in the chair says. If there’s meant to be an edge to it, Sam can’t find one. “You took a pretty bad hit to the head, Buck. The helmet came off. You should let them check you out.”
    Buck rolls his eyes, but he doesn’t argue. Doesn’t even try.
    That’s new.
    Sam studies him for half a second, then gestures. “Okay, chin down.”

    Summary

    Buck steps closer, takes the knife from Eddie’s hand, the movement careful and gentle, and sets it aside. “Hey,” he tilts his head into Eddie’s line of sight. “What’s going on?”

    “You know that thing that’s been going around, about the sun?”

    “The dimming thing? Eddie, that’s–”

    “It’s not,” he cuts him off right away. “The sun is losing output, we have data. And not gradually, not in a way that gives us centuries – we’re talking a decade. Two, tops.”

    Buck leans his hip against the counter beside him, crosses his arms over his chest. “…okay.”

    “There’s a team that’s been on it and they think they have a lead on a solution. They need someone to go out there and retrieve whatever the thing is and bring it back.”

    “Why are you telling me this?”

    Eddie doesn’t have to look, but he does anyway. He owes Buck that much.

    “It’s going to be a three person crew. A scientist, an engineer, and someone to fly the ship.”

    The silence sits around Eddie’s neck, drawing tighter with every second that passes.

    He can see the moment the words land.

    “And that someone is you.”

    Or,
    project Hail Mary AU.

    Summary

    The first call comes early, when Ilya is still skating along the edge of a dream. Shane is tucked in warm at his side, and his hair scratches at the underside of Ilya’s jaw, and the tender patch that always tickles just beneath his ear. He can hear the vibration against the wooden bedside table, the soft buzz buzz buzz incessant as a mosquito but he ignores it to go back in the warmth of his sleepy haze.

    Later, when the sun is fully up and Shane pulls from his warm and sweaty side, he checks his phone. It’s an unknown number, the region code is for Russia.

    OR

    Ilya's niece reaches out to him eight years after he's last seen her. It makes him think about the things he never let himself miss.

    A harmless post starts Twitter discourse because, of course.
    It may also start a trend?
