    Summary

    Jesus, my back.

    I pause, gasping for breath — I'm genuinely sweating. And embarrassed. I wonder if Rocky can hear me losing to a slab of wood.

    God, I hope he can't. Please God.

    It's stuck behind a few empty crates and some miscellaneous spare lab supplies. A few beakers. A blender, for some reason. An ironing board. Why? Because go to hell, Ryland Grace, that's why. You can't have enough fuel to come back but you can have an ironing board with no iron. Here's two kilos of cement-flavoured coma slurry. Kill yourself.

    "I'm being dramatic," I tell myself aloud.

    I'm really not. Dying in space is a very dramatic situation.

    The ways that Rocky and Grace miss everything all the time, yet watch over each other, always.

    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

    “Grace. What are you testing, question?”

    Rocky. I can’t put this all on the guy right now. He should be happy. We are going to Erid. We are going to save his planet.

    “CBC. A complete blood count.” I answer, hoping he doesn’t ask me why.

    “Purpose, question?”

    Rocky, please. I’m trying to spare you right now.

     

     

    Basically, Grace gets exposed to a dangerous amount of radiation during an EVA and doesn't want to tell Rocky bc of what happened to Rocky's crew <3

     

    THIS IS A REWORKED VERSION OF "TEMPEST" - after some comments, I wanted to keep the soul of the story, but make it more scientifically plausible. While there are still probably some inaccuracies, I still hope this isn't as messy as before.

    Summary

    Clark doesn’t usually get nervous on dates. Not that he’s been on many enough to know what counts as something that should make him nervous, but he at the very least knows what to expect from your typical date night. Dinner at a fancy restaurant or watching romcoms at the theatre, simple things like that.

    But when Bruce calls him one night to ask if he’s ever ridden on a motorbike before, the Man of Steel finds himself lowkey shitting his pants at the idea.

    OR

    Bruce visits Metropolis to take Clark out on a ride on his bike. Rooftop picnics and emotional conversations ensue.

    Summary

    Bruce opened his eyes.

    A red cape rippled in the wind above him. A gold symbol—bold, and bright—stood out against the deep blue of a suit that barely seemed real.

    And then the face. Calm, focused, and unabashedly kind.

    Superman.

    “You alright?” the hero asked, voice deep and sure, like the world wasn’t ending around them.

    Bruce blinked, not sure what surprised him more—the fact that he was alive, or the man who’d made sure of it.

    “I-I am now,” he muttered, mind still scrambling after the fall.

    Superman’s smile was subtle, but real. “You know, I never get tired of hearing that.”

    And just like that, Bruce Wayne—who’d accepted death—was held in the arms of something he didn’t believe in.

    Hope.

     

    ⪻────𖤓────⪼

     

    Billionaire Bruce Wayne reluctantly attends a charity gala in Metropolis to represent Wayne Enterprises and support the city’s post-crisis recovery. There, he unexpectedly bonds with a charming, awkward reporter who turns his life around in more ways than one…
