    Summary

    Christ, what had they done? How hard do you have to fuck up in order to blow a building to pieces? Knowing astrophage, not that much. E=mc^2 is a bitch. One little fuck-up, one tiny mistake, and you and everyone around you is dead.

    Summary

    The Eridians have finally gotten the water feature in Ryland's personal zoo enclosure just right (even if Rocky would like him to stop calling his dome that).

    Rocky refuses to believe that humans naturally float. There is no way Ryland's entire species regularly goes into deep water for fun.

    Summary

    ”Eridians are waiting on the decision about Hail Mary flying back.” The last part was said quietly, almost like Rocky was reluctant to share it.

     

    I froze for a moment, suddenly struck with the realization that I haven't thought about Earth and going back to it for many weeks now.

    Summary

    “What are you talking about?” Grace's fingers played quick chords as he spoke. He didn’t even look as he did it, but it did not make them any less purposeful.

    “Discussing possible reasons why Tau Ceti is not infected while other stars are,” Eva replied deftly. “I would invite you to join, but we were just finishing—”

    “Oh, that’s easy.” His hand twisted a knob, and the notes came out sharper. “It is infected—Petrova Line and everything.”

    In Grace's opinion, dreaming about time traveling is no excuse for getting out of practice with his Eridian. To the rest of the Petrova Taskforce, it seems a bit odd that their resident Astrophage expert has suddenly taken to carrying a keyboard around and playing it whenever he speaks. Eva Stratt resolves to figure out what is going on.

    Summary

    Michelle first met her cousin when she was seven, and she practically hated the little prick on sight. He was small and quiet, and English. So really, there wasn’t much more that could be wrong with the wee fucker. He wouldn’t talk to her Da and clung to her Mammy’s skirt as if she were his.

    Summary

    When the spell tore through the multiverse, Peter Parker expected to be forgotten. He expected to be alone. He didn't expect to wake up in a dumpster in a universe where the Avengers never fell apart, where Gotham City is a train ride away, and where Tony Stark is not only alive but happily married to someone named Bruce Wayne.

    In a world where Peter Parker never existed, he has to build a life from scratch... literally. Armed with a laptop built from e-waste, a stolen hoodie, and a desperate need to understand, Peter tries to survive the winter in Hell’s Kitchen.

    But Tony Stark and Bruce Wayne have a chronic inability to ignore strays, especially genius ones who hack Oscorp for fun. And when the truth of this universe’s "Peter Parker" comes to light, the family isn't just going to adopt him. They’re going to burn reality down for him.

    Summary

    “We can make this work,” Sveta said. “Promise me one thing, though.”

    “What is it?”

    “Promise me we won’t go 7 years in the situationship stage. Like some people we know.”

    Rose burst out laughing. “Yes, I can keep that promise. It’s a deal.”

     

    Or, after getting to know each other at Ilya and Shane's cottage in July 2022, Sveta and Rose spend the next year figuring out just how this new relationship is going to work while Sveta is masterminding a buyout of a women's hockey league and Rose is one of the biggest stars in Hollywood.

    Summary

    Petulantly, Rocky says, “Grace sound stupid. Like child.”

    “I’m just talking how you talk, buddy.”

    “Yes. This is because I talk like child, to speak to stupid human.”

    “Well, you don’t have to do that,” I say without thinking.

    “♪♫♩as this♪ when, underst♪♪♫d ♪me, question?” Rocky says.

    Summary

    “You said Rozanov is a great captain,” one of the reporters says, deviating from the usual script. “What makes him one? Do you think he’s better than you?”

    If Ilya was here, Shane would immediately answer with a negative. He would also let Ilya be the one to brag about his many, many accomplishments, and maybe banter with him about who’s got more.

    But Ilya’s not here.

    And Shane is bored.

    Or.
    Shane spends a post game interview explaining that his husband is the best captain in the league and accidentally starts a hashtag.

    Summary

    Ilya was used to hazing. He had been subjected to it, he had participated in it, and, as a captain, he had stood guard over the rookies and protected them from anything truly harmful. But if he had been asked, Ilya would have approved of this prank. He would have authorized it, given Cliff and Vicky his seal of approval, perhaps even helped orchestrate it.

    Any other day, Ilya might have been happy to play along.

    But, in perfect dramatic irony, it had not happened any other day. It had happened today. And, cherry on top, of course the rookie had to walk in when Shane was already freaking out about Ilya saying his name.

    +++

    A prank-gone-wrong leads to the Boston Bears finding out about Shane and Ilya’s relationship in 2016. The day Ilya first invited Shane into his house. Right after they say each other’s names for the first time. Fuck his life, honestly.

    Summary

    “Am I a bad friend?”

    Hayden has always been the guy Shane joked with, the guy he trusted to feed him without mocking him, the guy he roomed with on the road, and Shane is the only man who has ever seen Hayden cry, and Hayden loves Shane. He fucking loves him. They are like brothers, and they have been for almost ten fucking years. He’s always been Shane’s guy, Shane’s best friend.

    Except all along, maybe that wasn’t true. Ilya Rozanov, apparently, had been the guy. Before Hayden had ever met Shane, Ilya Rozanov had been there. And Hayden had never even noticed.

    Shane is all over every inch of Hayden’s life. Hayden thought that was reciprocal.

    Summary

    Scott must be confused as hell if he was asking for Kip. Especially in front of his teammates. Kip should say no, that he was a friend from outside New York. He lived in Vancouver or Hawaii or England. Scott was quite literally concussed, he didn’t actually want his ex-boyfriend showing up. It had been made abundantly clear that Kip and Scott’s friend groups would not be meeting each other.

    “I—yeah. What hospital is he at?” Kip said.

    Summary

    When Scott’s parents died, it had been like being struck by lightning. A disaster out of the blue. This, waiting for the hammer to fall, was worse. It had been four days. People didn’t just disappear for four days for no reason.

    Or: When Scott can’t get in touch with Kip for several days, he realizes the pitfalls of how isolated they are.
