Summary
The Sokovia Accords were supposed to leash the Avengers. Instead, they gave Eva Stratt a shopping list for the end of the world.
Fresh off the bleeding edge of Siberia, a broken Tony Stark discovers the sun is dying—and that Stratt has weaponized his stolen genetic records in an attempt to draft him for a four-year, one-way suicide mission into the dark. At the Compound alongside Dr. Ryland Grace, a rumpled junior high science teacher who just figured out how the solar parasite breeds, Tony is forced into a chaotic partnership over volatile space sludge.
To Stratt, sacrificing three lives to save seven billion is basic math. To Tony Stark, a one-way ticket isn't a tragic necessity—it’s just a design flaw. It’s time to break the rules, rewrite the physics, and make damn sure the universe's most expensive floating coffin gets a steering wheel.
And he, and Doctor Ryland Grace, would not be taking it.

Summary
As an elite ER doctor recruited for a desperate suicide mission to save humanity, you’re a master of keeping your emotions in a tightly locked box—until Dr. Ryland Grace walks back into your life. Ten years after high school graduation, your brilliant, bumbling former rival turns your carefully structured triage of survival into an agonizingly beautiful chaos, forcing a decade of unspoken grief and a fierce, suppressed love to the surface as the launch countdown ticks away.
In a world run by Eva Stratt, your frantic, behind-closed-doors grab for intimacy feels less like a generic romance and more like a desperate, clawing war against a terminal diagnosis. But the vacuum of space has a brutal way of correcting the timeline, and when the automatic alarms finally shatter the heat of the moment to leave you blinded by sterile medical bays, you’ll realize that the mind is a terrifyingly elegant machine—and some memories are a sanctuary, while others are a trap you are entirely alone in.
In the mix of it all, there's Ryland, and there's Rocky. And there's space. Too much space.

Summary
You had fallen in love with Alastor the moment you had locked eyes. Your family had joked that you were soulmates and both of you wouldn't refute that, especially as you called him your husband.
But tragedy strikes in the form of your murder. You are left in heaven, waiting years upon years for the love of your life to join you.
When heaven decides that it needs to start a war in hell, it becomes your problem. Now involved in politics you never cared about before, you find yourself making friends in places you had never dared to think of.
One thing was for sure though... You could do anything with Alastor by your side. All you had to do was find him.

Summary
Grace is very busy getting blackout drunk on his spaceship, all alone, 12 light years from home, thank you, when one of the "corpses" from the dormitory of the ship decides to "reanimate" all of a sudden.
Does he get a hug and cry from the sheer relief of human contact after days of being crushingly alone? Maybe.
Does he absolutely think the fourth member of the Hail Mary is a space zombie at first? ...ALSO, maybe.
Don't worry. Graham fix.
