Mostly_Void_Partially_Stars

"We understand the lights... We understand so much. But the sky behind those lights, mostly void, partially stars, that sky reminds us: We don’t understand even more." - Joseph Fink

    Summary

    In a world where humans are born with a predetermined ‘soulmate’, so to say, Ryland Grace is very happy to wonder the earth without. Sure, the weight of what should be his bond dulls the senses and makes the world a little more distant than he would like, but there was nothing for it. Nothing to fix the ache, except a certain splotch of stars, and this feeling of impending doom.

    Well, there was nothing, until his life was ruined and subsequently fixed all in one horrible day.
    --
    (or, my first attempt at soulmates where Grace can’t find a mate because his is in space, waiting. Oh, and both of their mate is waiting not so patiently on Erid.)

    Summary

    She’d been his first friend. Even before Tim had joined the institute, he’d had Sasha. Not that they’d been particularly close, before Tim had joined them, but they’d been… twin spirits, in a sense. Sasha’s curiosity had been endless, and she’d had a mischievousness to her that had reminded Jon of when he was a boy, sneaking into all sorts of places he wasn’t meant to be.

     

    It made sense, in a way, that their lives would be claimed by the same entity. They were two sides of a coin, tossed in the same horrible well.

     

    “I’ve thought of my question.” Jon announced softly, somehow finding the will to speak.

     

    Nikola paused, tilting her sagging face up towards him. “Oh?”

     

    Jon thought it over, trying to find the phrasing. ”When I-Don’t-Know-You replaces someone… do they cease to exist?”

     

    Nikola’s face pulled into a grin, and Jon had the sense that if she had eyes they would light up.

     

    OR

    Michael waits just a little longer for his mercy kill, leaving Jon rattled enough to make his most desperate bargain yet.

    Summary

    ‘There appears to be a real risk,’ said Psychologist Prime, tapping a stylus against their tablet in an idle way that frayed at the edge of Adrian’s sore nerves, ‘That should Alien Human-from-Earth-of-Sol Asylum-seeker Savior-of-Erid Grace perish, then your mate Savior Rocky may experience a radical and potentially fatal decline in physiological and psychological health.’

    ‘...I see,’ said Adrian. With exceptional calmness.

    ---

    Let it not be said that Adrian was not devoted as well. They had stood firm, a loyal widower longer than others could fathom. Once you encountered a love like Rocky’s, there could be no replacement. Nothing could even compare.

    ‘Do you understand that?’ Adrian wanted to ask. So desperately, they wanted the alien’s reply. ‘Are you the only other creature in the universe who understands what it is like to be loved by someone so completely?’

    ---

    Adrian meets Grace several times, before Grace is healthy enough to meet them in return. Despite light-years of distance between their species, Adrian might have finally met the first other being who appreciates Rocky like they do; or so they hope.
