    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.

    Bookmarker's Notes
    Random quotes I've enjoyed

    I’m angry, now. Not at him. At Eden for conditioning such an optimistic soul into a killer, at the COI for beating him down until there was nothing left. Angry that he’s never known peace. Angry that a mind so smart was wasted, angry at how similar our stories are.

    Summary

    Simon had never been sure whether it was better to be awake or asleep. Being awake meant facing the horrible reality of the Quiet Rapture and of his prison sentence, not knowing when he might be killed to spare resources...or become resources.
    Meanwhile, sleep meant being haunted with nightmares made up of his past sins and trials.

    That is, until he started dreaming of an angel.

    Summary

    A touch starved Ryland Grace meets a touch avoidant Simon. Purely self-indulgent because the speed at which they run into each others arms is too much for me sometimes.

    Wait, wait, forget about that last one.
