    Summary

    “What’s two plus two?”
    The question evades me. There’s an uncomfortable scratch in my throat that I can’t quite wrap my head around. Regardless of the discomfort, my chest feels light. Unburdened. Weightless. My brain feels quiet. Somehow, that feels new.
    Even as I’m gathering that something is definitely off here, I know for sure that “quiet” has never been a word I’ve used to describe my brain. Why is that? I have no idea.
    As my body continues to rifle through each foreign sensation, there is one thing on my mind that somehow breaks through to consciousness. The lightness in my chest is wrong. The silence in my mind is wrong.
    And like a prodigal son returning home, the heaviness settles in. The tears spring to my eyes and the noise returns to my brain, feeling nothing short of familiar.
    "What's two plus two?"
    “Fffour,” I finally grind out, wondering if the labored exhale would relieve me of my burden.
    “Correct,” the computer chimes.
    I know two plus two is four.
    But not why my heart feels like it’s shattering inside my chest.

    Summary

    How many times in his life had Simon stared out into the fading stars, and heard others calling out to deities or a universe that didn’t care…or if it did, was powerless to fix anything. Simon didn’t know what was worse. And then, just when all his hope had been thrown alongside him into a Blood Ocean on a mysterious moon… he finds himself lost to a flash of light. Maybe the C.O.I were right all along, Grace is the true salvation.

    Now with sequel!

    Summary

    Simon had sprinted out of the lung from the first gaps of light that where made from someone cutting a new door into it.

    This event did lead him to slam what he originally assumed was a 60 year old man directly into a metal wall, ignoring the blood still pouring out of the lung, and then get "restrained" and hosed down, but not the worst thing that could happen in comparison to the blood ocean.

    Warning, this is slow, very slow, and QPR means they won't actually kiss (sorry romantical folks)
    They will cuddle though if that helps

    Summary

    She wasn’t supposed to be here.

    At first, it’s easy to believe it’s nothing, just a strange coincidence that she’s ended up in a world where Ryland Grace exists. He’s just a person, just a teacher, just someone she wasn’t meant to know, and definitely not someone she was meant to grow close to.

    But then the world starts to change.

    As impossible events begin to unfold, she realises this isn’t just his world, it’s his story. And she knows exactly where it’s leading.

    She knows what’s coming. She knows what he’ll be asked to do. She knows what it will cost.

    And she can’t tell him any of it.

    So instead, she stays. She stands beside him as everything slowly falls apart, offering quiet reassurance he doesn’t quite understand, only a certainty she can never explain.

    “I just know.”

    Summary

    Mark Watney has survived 118 sols on Mars, and he wouldn’t exactly say it’s been a cakewalk, but he only has about three more years of listening to disco to go (ugh) before Ares IV picks him up and take him home. But when something crashes on the Martian surface only a few kilometers from the Hab, NASA wants him to leave the safety of his little home on the Martian prairie to go investigate…what could possibly go wrong?

    Ryland Grace has survived a long time in space and almost a decade on Erid, but the anxiety of not knowing if the beetles made it to Earth finally drives him to try the dangerous journey back home, and Rocky and Adrian come with him. Everything was actually going pretty good…until a horrible accident leaves them hurtling through space (and time) with no choice but to crash land on the wrong planet.

    How is Watney going to deal with the unexpected company (and their weird secretiveness over why they were in space)? Is Grace going to be able to adjust to being around another human being again? And how are Rocky and Adrian going to handle the uncertainty of a reception to an Earth that’s never heard of aliens before?

    More importantly…how the fuck is NASA going to get them all home alive?
