    Summary

    The live broadcast has taken over everything—news channels, livestreams, doctor’s offices, the muted TVs bolted into corners of cafés and airports.

    The same feed repeats everywhere: the launch of the shuttle to the Hail Mary, Earth’s last desperate hope. Footage of the launch preparations alternate with prerecorded statements from world leaders, a scrolling bar of names and credentials sliding across the bottom of the screen. The astronauts’ portraits are displayed in sequence, their faces and names proudly displayed, honoring those brave ones willing to give their lives for the future of Earth.

    Yao Li-Jie. Olesya Ilyukhina.

    And Ryland Grace.

    7,130 miles away, Colt Seavers looks up at the Starbucks television screen and drops his coffee.

    ---

    Or, the AU where Ryland Grace has a twin, and Colt Seavers is not taking the whole “sent into space to die” thing quietly.

    Incidentally, Stratt doesn’t know that he exists.

    Summary

    Eva feels like the breath is knocked out of her lungs when the man walks in.

    Dirty blond hair. Blue eyes. Sort of like… if Ryland Grace was hit by a car several times. It was undeniably him.

    “So you’re Eva Stratt,” The man says gruffly, slamming both hands on her desk. He looked exactly like Ryland, it was terrifying. It felt like watching a ghost haunt her in real life.

    “You’re the crazy woman that sent my baby brother up into space. Let’s talk, yeah?”

    or

    Colt Seavers finds out his twin brother was sent on a suicide mission. He does not take it well.

    Summary

    It’s nearly forty years on the dot since the launch of the Hail Mary that a transmission is received on its retired frequency. The world has been through hell and is on unsteady feet again, the Saving Grace treaty that ended World War Three and ushered in a new age is thirteen years old, and people are beginning to trust in hope.

    And then, on one fine spring morning, the Deep Space Network detects a blip near the Kuiper belt. Two days later, the transmission arrives.

    “My name is Astra Grace. I am the daughter of Ryland Grace and Olesya Ilyukhina. I come in peace with a small Eridian congregation to bury my parents on their home world. We are not armed. We come in peace.”

    *****************

    A reinterpretation of When The Stars Returned, a fic I started and never finished, where Olesya Ilyukhina survives the coma and she and Ryland make a space baby. PHM has me by the throat.

    Summary

    "Maybe he's having a wet dream about you."

    Belly was so lost in her thoughts, it took her a moment to realize what he'd said.

    "I bet he is," Conrad continued, "after that kiss."
