Summary
The engineer takes my hand. His skin runs hot. Very hot. He doesn't let go at what I would gauge as a socially-acceptable handshake time interval. Are we just holding hands in the middle of the lab-workshop space? Guess we are.
"I'm Rocky," he finally introduces himself. He has a hint of an accent, something lilting, melodic. I can't really place it.
"Rocky," I repeat, slowly. "Like the movies?"
"No," Rocky deadpans, giving me a look like I'm stupid. "Like the rocks."

Shane: Mom.
Shane: Are you aware that dad has unfettered internet access and is posting how to videos on YouTube calling himself Daddy David?
Mom: Honey, it's fine. It's not that big of a deal.
Shane: That might be the most insane thing you've ever said.

Summary
(summary and tags contain SPOILERS for earlier works in the series!)
Shane and Ilya are champions. They are partners, and they’re in it for life. And people are starting to notice.
After being traumatically outed two years ago, Shane and Ilya's relationship and their lives have been fundamentally changed, and most days, Shane thinks that's a good thing. But sometimes, the pressure of being out, and the endless online speculation about #hollanov, and rumors running rampant through the NHL, and a new generation of rookies looking up to them, and the knowledge that everyone is relying on Shane Hollander to be perfect at all times—sometimes it's a lot.
But Shane's dealing with it. Ilya seems happier than he's ever been, and Shane just needs to get his act together to support his husband. He can do that. He needs to, and he will, if he doesn't crack under the pressure first.
They've got a second Stanley Cup to win, after all.

Summary
There's 1 in 70,000 people on the planet who have the gene needed to survive the Hail Mary's expedition. In that limited pool, 1 in maybe 1000 had the necessary skills needed for the mission — more dire still, even less people were willing to volunteer for what is essentially a suicide mission.
When an explosion killed not only their science officers but also their engineers, Eva Stratt makes the tough decision to put 2 people on the spacecraft that no one was expecting to be even be candidates.
One is a middle-school science teacher.
One is a convicted eco terrorist.

Summary
After years of believing he was going to be alone forever, Ryland Grace is informed of a spacecraft drifting near Erid. The survivor he pulls aboard is Simon: younger, scarred, broad-shouldered, and carrying enough religious trauma to fill a spaceship. As recovery turns into late-night conversations, shared nightmares, and one very crowded bed, two men who have both been starved of human touch begin to realize that survival is easier when someone is there to reach back.
or
Ryland Grace rescues a human he thought he’d never find. Simon is wounded, haunted, and convinced he doesn’t deserve saving. Ryland disagrees.
EDIT: this story now has two endings like a choose-your-own adventure novel
