  1. Summary

    My James Bond-inspired Inception universe.

    There will be more added, as the inspiration strikes, but I figured it would be handy to have all the parts together (and in proper chronological order) for easier reading.

  3. Summary

    Bit of an explanation for you: back in 2015(!), I took on a self-imposed writing challenge. To write a short fic every day for about a month. Now, I didn’t end up lasting the entire month, but I DID write a lot. I want to say about fifteen little stories, give or take. None of them are anything super in-depth or fancy - I was just trying to write, write, write. And looking back on a few of them, I think they’re actually pretty okay.

    So, to that end, I’m gonna put a few (if not all) of them up here, on Ao3. Don’t expect anything too quickly though; unfortunately my rough drafts seem to have disappeared, so I’m having to copy/paste everything from tumblr into my notes, paragraph by paragraph.

    Fandoms, ratings, and tags may vary (slightly).

    Summary

    “Our star, unto a special person, will bestow a gift,” my mothers lovely singing voice continued. “In the coldest of times, in despair and sorrow, when all hope seems to be lost, an entity will be birthed.”

    I gasped in excitement. “What kind of entity?”

    “Of light and luminance, airy and thin, ethereal in nature. A servant of the stars.”

    Aka, when Grace and Rocky reunite, Rocky tells Grace how he truly feels about him.

    Aka, Rocky being so mushy and sad and so utterly madly in love with Ryland Grace!

    Summary

    “Without Grace, all Rocky plural perish,” Rocky continued tirelessly, as if he’d been holding all of this back for ages. “All Rocky can do is love savior Grace for rest of life. Rocky Grace ♫♬♩♪.”

    It nearly came as a surprise to be confronted with a new Eridian term, but Grace’s brain short-circuited upon hearing these unknown chords. Hardly able to put any sound to his voice, he uttered, “Need word, Rock.”

    “Meant to be together forever,” Rocky explained.

    Grace took a very shaky breath. “Soulmates,” he defined. “You think we’re soulmates.”

    “Rocky no think,” he said, tapping one foot against the bunk to give strength to his words. “Rocky know.”

    Summary

    Grace loved Rocky to bits. More than Rocky knew, and far deeper than the word meant when swapped among friends. Turning around to rescue them had given Grace plenty of time to think, and think, he did. About Rocky's bossy, determined, playful nature. Their willingness to accept Grace's every quirk (however "dumb" and "stupid"), understand his personality and needs, and adapt to it all. Their talent with feats of engineering were greater than anything Grace had ever seen. Rocky was smart as a whip and just as quick. And their unhesitating desire to trust and bond with Grace, to work together and save each other's stars? To risk dying to save him? Boy, oh boy. He loved Rocky.

    A shame he'd have to just keep that to himself. Right?

    Summary

    Rocky, my best friend in the universe, doesn’t know that his mate is a fraud. A coward.

    "A coward, and full of shit." Stratt’s voice echoes through my head, flooding my veins with an icy chill. I never volunteered for the mission. I never even wanted to try. The survival of the planet depended on me, billions of lives, an infinite amount of flora and fauna, all potentially doomed because of me. Would have been doomed, if Stratt hadn’t drugged me and thrown me on the ship herself. Oh God.

    And now I’ve doomed Rocky.

    I stumble to my feet, tripping over him as he follows me, squawking in Eridian faster than my tiny, useless human brain can keep up with right now. I can’t let him touch me, I don’t deserve it. I’ve doomed him to a life where his soulmate is a liar and a useless waste of carbon. I feel like the biggest failure and also as small and miniscule as a speck of dust.

    Coward.
    Coward.
    Coward.

    I do the only thing I can think of at this moment, I need to get away from Rocky before I poison him further. He already almost died saving me once, I won’t risk him sacrificing more of his life for me. And so I run, again.
