eyeballs and burn scars by jaysflight for anoplodesmus_saussurii (orphan_account)

Summary
He’d had his thing with Cleo, but the three of them had had each other. Even when things had gotten ugly between them they’d still been irrevocably linked, knowing each other like the back of their own hands.
He’d been her rebound, he knows. Not without passion on their end, but a rebound all the same. Someone to fill the gaping hole in their heart following betrayal and breakup, someone who would cup their face in his hands and take their lips in his without caring that he was being burned.
He doesn’t care if he re-opens the scars. In fact, some part of him needs to bleed again.
Or: The world ends, and the lives of those who Martyn cares for with it. He doesn’t have the luxury to choose who he partners with anymore.

Summary
Guill doesn’t want to pry when he doesn’t think he has any right to, anymore. But he knew Etoiles back when they were younger and likes to think he knows him now still; that he knows the ways in which he constantly pushes himself past the limits of his chronically ill body, shrugs off the consequences of his overworking right up until he cannot anymore. That he’s still familiar with how he keeps any growing hurt hidden behind easy smiles and laughter, any potential weakness kept out of sight beneath layers of clothing, even if they were worsening day after day, dragging him down into a darkness Guill wasn't sure he could ever recover from.
Maybe Etoiles was more like a comet than he’d initially thought; maybe he was already burning up on entry, body disintegrating and rock-dust spreading out into the cosmos. Maybe every time he stuck his neck out for someone, a little more of him burned away.
Or: Everyone is having a difficult time in Purgatory, but at least Guill gets to reunite with an old friend again.

Summary
“Good lord,” says Scott, no small amount of strain in his voice.
Scar plasters on a winning smile, artfully shakes out the tufts of snow from his hair like a model from one of those ruined magazines you could find lying around might. Clearly, he hadn’t meant to do, frankly, any of what had just transpired, but Scott didn’t need to know that detail. “Dear Scott, what ever is the matter?”
Scott stares at him. There is something like exasperation in his eyes, though it’s mostly covered up by his astonishment. “You’re not serious?”
Scar makes sure his smile looks extra dashing. He brings a hand to his chest, as if to show he’s speaking straight from the heart. “No, but I’m sure your infinite wisdom could catch me up to speed.”
Scott pinches his lips. He breathes in through his nose, then out through his mouth. His eyes slowly drift from Scar to the broken remains of what used to be their front door. “You know what? Never mind,” he eventually replies, sounding long-suffering in a way that delights Scar’s long-standing mischievous streak, “we’ll fix it.”
Or: In the midst of a snow-pocalypse, Scar navigates confinement with the rest of the Cabin Crew.

you weren't there that day for the Naming of Things by callmearcturus

Summary
"Rocky did not understand human names and titles when we met. Eridian names longer, give information on Eridian's home, associations, skills." For the first time in ages, he positioned two of his arms together, forming the design that Grace thought of like a family crest, a single design bisected.
"You should teach me to read those before we get to Erid, so I can be polite." As Grace considered the linework, already picking up on some vague ideas from the shapes in Rocky's carapace, something else occurred to him. "So… I picked 'Rocky' because your outer shell looks like stone."
"And for inspirational story of athlete who defeats human system of poverty to become great champion. Eye of the tiger."
"Retroactively, yeah." Grace bent at the hips, getting to Rocky's 'eye' level. "So what'd you name me?"

Project Long Shot by IvyLee

Summary
The lives of the crew of the Long Shot are statistically ridiculous. They've travelled over sixteen light-years to answer a three-decade-old distress call from a dying planet. They expected to find any number of things upon arrival at 40 Eridani, but being greeted by a human voice certainly wasn't on the list.
Dr Ryland Grace says they're welcome. He says the problem has already been solved, and everything's fine, and so, in fact, is Earth. But all they know about Ryland Grace is that he left on a suicide mission ten years before they launched. And they're not so sure they should be taking a dead man at face value.
OR: The Eridians have learned to safely host a human, despite every barrier of language and instinct. Now they just need to do it with seven more. At least, this time, they have Grace's help, right?
(This fic is part of a series but will stand alone.)
