    Summary

    One unexpected benefit of Rocky's new xenonite suit is the discovery that Grace's panic is often soothed by Rocky's weight on his chest. It's come in handy during many nightmares and Rocky is ecstatic to have a new way to help. During Grace's latest nightmare, Rocky goes to put weight on his back to soothe him. It doesn't work. It really, really doesn't work.

    Summary

    The bathhouse ambush follows the same old script, the same old plot.

    He changes it up, just a tad. Rumi holds out her sword to him, both of them circling each other in a dance, and Jinu decides screw it.

    He steps forward, she prepares for war, but the tip of her sword touches his chest, right where his heart should be. The sword glows and crackles, reacting to him, pulsing in time with his breath; Rumi’s eyes dart to it then back on Jinu, wide and unsure.

    He smiles. “Hey Rumi, what am I supposed to do?”

    And then he walks into her blade. It pierces him true, and he relishes holding her, if only for a mere fraction of a second, their time limited.

    Just when things start to fade away, he hears it, barely: “J-Jinu?”


    Rumi’s single word keeps echoing in his head, all he can hear. She shouldn’t have known his name yet. She shouldn’t have that gentle a tone yet.


    Every time Jinu dies, he's flung back in time to right after the first Soda Pop performance. Why and how, he knows not. All he knows is Rumi is there with his soul each and every time.

    Summary

    Earth did not expect the Hail Mary to return from her voyage; they had expected her inhabitants to accept their fate, future patron saints of one-way trips.

    They had measured the optics. They had prescribed three astronauts with a death sentence; two aware and wanting of the pills they were handed to swallow, one dragged kicking and screaming. They had decided that the future of all humanity, of all known intelligent life, was worth these three lives. They had expected that these three lives would make peace with this: that there would be no help other than their own hands in the unknown stretch of the forever cosmos. They had anticipated no consequence for their actions; that those three names would be known as heroes, no questions asked about if they had wanted to be heroes at all.

    They had not counted on Ryland Grace.

    ***

    Or: the probes don't launch. Ryland Grace is forced to return to Earth.

    He still isn't giving up on Erid. Or Rocky.

But all that glitters is not gold: there is still a great deal of work to be done to keep the new Lumière and its people running smoothly.
