Summary
When spaceships darkened the skies and aliens descended to earth, humanity fought back and died fast. Those left behind fled, hid and tried to survive.

But even knowledge doesn't prepare people for survival, and now there is only Connor left, and survive is all he can do. One day after the other, pursued by something wearing his adopted mother's face and haunted by the memories of all the people he left behind. -

Summary
The world fell apart.
Not with a whimper, or a bang, but slowly, with warnings of the problems to come. It fell apart preventably, with mounting evidence, if only people had listened earlier, before it was too late and civilisation had started to tear itself apart.
The world fell apart with the dead picking it over like a carcass. Those left alive, all they can do is survive.

Summary
Connor hates his major, hates his classes, hates the plodding existence of doing the same thing every day while having no idea what he actually wants to do with his life. He’s lonely—homesick for a place that isn’t home, for friends he doesn’t have.
He knows he isn’t old enough for a midlife crisis, but he thinks maybe he’s having one anyways. Which is how he ends up awkwardly hiding in the corner of Jimmy's Bar, drowning his loneliness and despair with drinks he can’t really afford, wondering if he’ll ever work up the nerve to actually talk to anyone.
It’s purely by chance that someone sits down next to him: a man easily twice his age and built like an absolute wall with a voice that Connor would happily listen to for hours.

Summary
When Commander James Clark Ross offers him a place aboard HMS Terror for the upcoming Antarctic expedition, Thomas Jopson tells him the truth—or at least half of it—that he’s never sailed before. But Ross doesn’t need a sailor. He needs a steward who can weather the temper and erratic moods of his second-in-command, Commander Francis Crozier. He needs someone who won’t bolt the moment the ship nears land. From what Ross had observed on the docks, Thomas can handle men even more vexing than Crozier with effortless calm.
Thomas knows it’s dangerous. He knows it'll be almost impossible to hide his body—the fact that he’s not a real man—while confined to the cramped quarters of a ship, even one as large as the HMS Terror. But the chance of steady pay to help support his family is too much to turn down.
Thomas quietly gets to work—watching, learning, and keeping his head down. He’s efficient, capable, and diligent, quickly earning respect from the crew and eventually even from Commander Crozier himself. If only that respect didn’t make his heart skip a beat or his face flush with heat. If only the ache in his chest didn’t feel so much like longing.
What’s one more secret that could get him hanged?

Summary
Dennis liked routines, plans, things that happened when he knew they were going to happen. When his friends said that they wanted to hang out later, he just wanted to know what they were doing, what time they were meeting up, and who was coming. Any last-minute plans were often declined; he never felt prepared for that. He just wanted to be prepared.
Dennis didn’t start the new step in his routine; it just happened one day on a random Wednesday in May, nothing special about that day other than the start of receiving his coffee order from Dr Robby. He knew he didn't break the routine either; Robby did because he got a girlfriend.
It's fine, they were just friends, colleagues, mentor and mentee. Then why did it feel like he was going through a breakup?

Summary
“Woah— don’t go dying on me there.” Robby mumbled, a tense chuckle punctuating his words. Dennis scrambled to speak, to create any combination of words that would save him from the shitstorm brewing right in front of his eyes.
“I’m—“ he took in a wheezy breath, throat gradually clearing of the offending hoppy suds now sprayed out on the table in front of him. “I’m okay— I’m okay Robby. Sorry I didn’t mean to- I mean— it’s not like I’m—“
“Nice hat, Huckleberry.” Fuck, Trinity. The comfort of being saved of an explanation was quickly replaced with a white hot embarrassment at the reminder of the teasing grin that was still plastered on his roommate's face. His teary eyes met hers as she leaned in close to his ear, picking up Dennis’s hat in one smooth motion and placing it on her own head. “Didn’t know you were in the business of saving horses.”

There are some unspoken rules when it comes to properly wearing a cowboy hat. Dennis knows these rules. Robby does not.

Summary
Dennis really hates that his first thought is one of immediate discontentment at the notion that Robby is at all upset with him. The hatred soon turns to shame and embarrassment when he really realizes just how worked up he’s gotten himself these past few days. He feels it all at once: the anxiety for his future, the constant fear of making an irreversible mistake, the shame over this stupid schoolboy crush on his attending, and most of all, a smothering feeling of anger for himself. Anger that he can’t do everything at once, anger that he might be throwing away everything he’s worked for because he can’t find time to study for this stupid exam. And he’s even more angry when he feels his bottom lip begin to quiver and his eyes welling up with tears. Right in front of Dr. Robby.
Or: Dennis panics about an upcoming exam. Robby invites him to his home to study.

Summary
“Here.” The male EMT handed Robby a syringe. “Five milligrams of Versed.” He shrugged. “We were going to give it to him but he calmed down once he saw the needle.”
“Huh,” Robby said. “Normally you get the opposite effect.” He looked down at the patient. “You made the right choice, Jamie.”
Jamie just stared. Jesus, those pupils were huge. He was calm though, which was a good sign. Maybe it was something easy, like a small dose of LSD. That would be amazing. Obviously not for Jamie, who was probably going through a drug-induced ordeal, but great for his doctor, who wanted to shower and watch Great British Bake Off with his roommate.Or
