Summary
At first, you look out the viewports of your new home every day, to try to remind yourself that between the first ten years of drudgery on one spaceship, and the current stint of drudgery on another, you had a life on a planet. But seeing the constant rot and decay outside makes it worse. You stop looking. Maybe it's better to pretend you've been in space the entire time.
When your childhood bestie kills your boyfriend, things are pretty bleak. Inspired by my first playthrough, where it all went very, very badly. Major spoilers for the Tangent's Cure ending.

A Unisaur for Vertumnalia by ShikonNoTamago

Summary
Sol brings a unisaur with silver eyes to Vertumnalia 16.
No, not that unisaur. Not the barely-tamed one that she managed to drag back from the Swamps and wrestle into a tenuous truce every fifth life or so. That lack of obedience would be… unimpressive, especially with only a few days to go. Her will would barely be bruised after three days. Sol was thinking something different.
…Okay, so not actually a unisaur. Just a twenty-thousand-year-old being currently inhabiting the physical form of a unisaur.

Summary
“Tammy made me hold her baby,” Dys says, frowning. “It sucked. I don't know how to hold babies. They're so wiggly. What if I dropped it? I could feel everyone watching me, like I was going to screw up. So I gave the kid back right away.”
An expansion of the time Dys had to hold a baby and it sucked. Also, Tangent is there.

Summary
Anemone looks at him, gaze frank and appraising, and he cannot shake the feeling that he’s caught in a plasrifle sight. “I think…”
She trails off, frowning, clearly trying to put her thoughts in order. He used to know what she thought, could play on it, and it’s strange looking at her and having no clue what she’s thinking.
How much can one person change, in three years? Vace knows the answer already. He knows how far he’s slipped.
--
The world around him has changed, yet Vace finds himself hanging in suspension, struggling to move on.
