    Summary

    Ryland doesn't know where he is, what he's doing, or why he's doing it. All he knows is that he's in a universe with no stars and that an organization called the COI found the Hail Mary spinning out into deep space. He knows that Rocky may be injured somewhere, and he knows that the man that currently lays in a hospital bed in front of him should be dead as dirt but has miraculously survived.

    He knows he has been given an ultimatum. Find out what brought Simon back to life or never see Rocky again.

    The task proves more complicated than he thought.

    Summary

    working at a library is *excellent* for people-watching— the downside here being you have a tender, painfully romantic heart and develop very dramatic and very long-lasting crushes on the patrons.

    ...patron, singular. it's just the one guy, you see; but you just can't seem to put down the torch you've been carrying for him. it's been *years*— are you going to pursue this or does he have to make the first move?

    it's hard to flirt with people at their jobs and it goes both ways.

    Summary

    “Hey, I thought I might see you before the big launch,” you call out as they approach you. “Nerves getting the better of you?”

    They don't reply, just... look at you for a while. They slowly scan over your clothes, your hands, your face, lingering at your scarred eye.

    You arch a brow at them. “Need something, hatchling?”

    Eventually, they settle within themself, square their shoulders, and look at you. “Think you can give me a hand with something for a minute?”

    or - a series of goodbyes that didn't stick.

    Summary

    Five Pebbles was pretty sure his story was coming to an end, alone in the snow, covered by his collapsed superstructure with no way out.
    The world, however, gave him a second chance in the form of a weird green thing that seemed to...
    ...Throw him back in time?
    Now with memories of freezing cold and information on how to not only fix the rot, but also fix Moon as well, he promised himself he would do whatever he could to never have to relive this awful cold all alone.
    The isolation, cold, pain, and hundreds of thousands of cycles worth of thinking made him dead set on never going through that ever again. Even if that meant ripping off his umbilical before that could ever happen.

    In the meantime... The rest of the local group is confused. After all, the Pebbles they knew was a pretensious jerk who killed Moon then cut all communications, but the one that came back to them was a paranoid mess who seemed to space out every few minutes.
    ...How odd.

    Summary

    A superhero au with iterators as heroes!
    Except they are still themselves from the main world and are deeply disturbed by being suddenly ripped from their cans, thrown half-way across the universe and shoved into a fleshy biological vessel that makes no sense and feels awfully restrictive.
    Enter: Five Pebbles, who is very unhappy about being reduced to... This.. Fleshy thing. Whatever it is.
    He also STILL tries to run from his problems and other iterators, refusing to speak to them.
    Unfortunately for him, the other iterators now have legs and the ability to run after him.

    AKA: Five Pebbles is still mentally ill, Suns is trying very hard to help, Moon keeps adopting cats, NSH found out about the joys of minecraft and memes, and Unparalleled Innocence causes as many issues as possible (Five Pebbles says so).
    (TW's in the chapter notes if needed)
