    Summary

    The teacher stumbled back, hands rising. He had managed to crash into someone in his hurry to leave before anyone else confused him for his brother on this damned set, “Sorry, didn't see you th-"

    “Who, are you?”

    Blue eyes met another set of blue, the colour more vibrant than his own. Ryland quickly connected the dots, eyeing the very same outfit that Colt was wearing staring right back at him.

    “My brother,” Colt answered before he could.

    Summary

    “I’m not an actor.” Colt chokes out.

    “I know you’re not.” She says gently. Colt wished he was anywhere else but here.

    “But you have plenty of experience in front of a camera already, and… Colt, you’re his twin. You knew him in a way no one else ever could."

    or

    Colt is asked to star as legendary astronaut Ryland Grace in a biopic about him.

    Summary

    It’s him.

    Not him, as in Grace, but him as in the maybe-twin in the photo.

    He has this sad, stricken face on him, and is standing stock still several feet away.

    “Hey there,” Grace attempts.

    “Ry?”

    Or, Colt and Grace are estranged twins who begin to have very strange shared dreams.

    Summary

    “Nope–no you have to keep the pressure on that, Colt–” Jody grabbed his hand, guided it back upward, glancing over his shoulder to see what he was looking at.

    There wasn’t anything of note behind him, just the pavement and a laughing couple stumbling their way around the corner.

    Was he concussed?

    “I’m not Colt,” Colt said, interrupting Jody’s thoughts. He cocked his head to the side, frowned, tried to lower his hand for the third time like he’d already forgotten what he was supposed to be doing. “I’m trying–I need to find Colt. M’not him.”

    Oh, yeah, he was definitely fucking concussed.

     

    (Ryland is concussed, Colt is framed for murder and concussed, and Jody is definitively lost in all the sauce because someone forgot to tell her that Colt has a twin brother.)

    Summary

    The Hail Mary has been shot out into the depths of the infinite void of space to search for an answer that may not even be there. Aboard, the three crew members lay in stasis as the ship hurtles like an arrow towards a distant star, with no hope of return, but a desperate hope to make things right.

    At home, two brothers are left in sudden and violent grief. A woman grapples with whether or not she made the right decision. The world strains and suffers under the weight of the coming Fimbulwinter.

    And then one of the beetles returns.

    Thirteen years early.
