Summary
Arthur watched Ennis and Old Boy disappear into the night with their riders in tow. They headed in opposite directions, intent on keeping away from camp a bit longer before they returned to Horseshoe Overlook. 'We should all go it alone right now,' he had said, but he could feel Charles’ stare on him and, when he turned Galahad off the road, he heard Taima following.
He didn't think he was being too presumptuous, and he only had to wait until they broke the treeline for Charles to prove him right. The other man said one word, “Arthur,” and it was all the prompting he needed to pull Galahad to a stop and drop from his saddle.
Instantly, Charles was at his chest, pushing him back, back, and into the trunk of a tree. The horses snorted their offense at their riders’ antics but Arthur barely registered the sound. Charles’ knee was already nudging his thighs apart, his grip on Arthur’s shirt pressing the collar hard against his neck and leaving him gasping.
Charles and Arthur take a little time for themselves following the Pouring-Forth-Oil train robbery.

Summary
“If you don’t want me talkin’ ‘bout him like- Y’know, I’d understand, he was yours, at the end.”
“... I miss him,” Charles echoes John’s earlier statement and John nods roughly, “Burying him… It was odd, I felt relieved. He was suffering, and then he wasn’t.”
John raises his brows then huffs weakly and shakes his head in disbelief.
“Only you, Charles,” John mutters, “Could be so fuckin’ selfless.”
“I’m not-”
“I wasn’t relieved, I was miserable, I wanted the world to end,” John rubs at his eyes again, “Felt like it had. He told me to go be ‘a man’... I know what he meant, and I knew I’d never live up to it.”

Summary
“It was a nice wedding,” Charles says.
The little bird sitting on the top of Arthur’s grave tilts its head and peers at him, then flutters off in a burst of chirps. Charles draws in a lungful of smoke, holds it there for a long moment until it burns, and exhales. He sets the unfinished half of the cigarette at the base of the cross, the smoke spiralling skywards like a prayer, and runs a thumb over the fading knife cuts in the wood.

Summary
'What is Grace doing, question?'
It all started with that question. Grace going back for Rocky was never going to be something he regretted. Ever.
But then — on the way to Erid, problems that had been the last thing on his mind while on the journey to save his friend arose. Like privacy.—
Grace survives the journey to Erid, and maybe finds a new home there. Rocky and Adrian have a lot of love to give, and they're very creative. But maybe they'd like others to see just how wonderful their little humans is? How well he sings? Eridians are a very curious species, after all.
Or the fic in which Grace finds out eridians are nothing like humans (duh). They are highly competitive, love playing with others and don't mind sharing. Privacy doesn't really exist on Erid other than for eating. He finds out just how much they are willing to share.

Mary tells you about the journey so far.
This is a little Mary introspective written as if she were sentient and computers could feel anxiety and imposter syndrome and fall in some kind of confusing love. Or, what if you were a spaceship computer tasked with keeping three astronauts alive and then a couple didn’t make it? You’d probably get really attached to that third one and bend over backward to make him happy and comfortable huh

Summary
For three hours, he’s at the beach, takes off his socks and hikes Ilyukhina’s dress up, and stands in the water. He left the cane on the shore; it hurts to let his frame bear the brunt of gravity unsupported. The reliable tide, just cool enough to chill him a little, laps at his shins.
He closes his eyes and tries to forget about himself, the familiar ache in his joints and spine. Allows himself to imagine something else.
A different truth, a hypothetical, a thought exercise.
Rocky can't bear to lose Grace. But he can bear to watch Grace wither away from a sickness easily cured by Earth medicine even less.
Grace has to make another choice.
Or: After thirteen years on Erid, Grace leaves his true home for Earth. Eva Stratt lives to see him return. Earth takes note of the changes.

Summary
If Rocky propositions him during the workday, he makes no such attempt at a performance—or, as Rocky likes to call it, courtship.
After they determine this is indeed the word Rocky’s using, Grace snorts. “No. Courtship is, like, old-fashioned dating. Very formal old-fashioned dating.”
“No, no.” Rocky gestures to what he gave Grace. “Is courtship. Trust.”
“I don’t know what this is, but it’s not courtship!” Grace holds up the honest-to-God padded handcuffs Rocky made for him. They jingle a little. “Explain how this is old-fashioned to you. Quickly.”
