    Summary

    The small flicker of light to her right is what leads Gem's eyes away from her monitor.

    She's got her elbow up on her desk, a fist propping up her chin, as the discord notification distracts her from her building. She runs her tongue lazily across her lips and tucks away a small note in her mind to reapply her chapstick soon.

    Gem hums, tapping her forefinger against the thin plastic of her mouse, makes up her mind, and picks up her phone. Her brows shoot up beneath her bangs in surprise as she finds herself on the recieving end of an Etho dm.

    "Hey"

    Summary

    It’s strange. Only now, confronted with the very thing he came down here to find, is reality enforcing itself upon Bdubs.

    This is impossible. Maybe the blackbox of Etho’s AI could be retrieved, but at a depth of 36,000 feet his netherite-fibered body would have lasted six seconds at most before his lovely face pulverized. Whatever’s left might as well be a husk of radiation. He is not outside the submersible. No one is.

    And still. A knock on the door. One-two-three. Polite and patient.

     

    (At the bottom of the ocean, Bdubs studies microbes with the help of the CONCORP android Etho. They are not alone.)

    Summary

    It’s a normal Tuesday afternoon when Bdubs’ entire worldview gets flipped on its head, and it’s entirely Etho’s fault.
    In typical Etho fashion, he had done something insane entirely nonchalantly, and acted confused whenever it was acknowledged that it’s a big deal.
    In non-typical Etho fashion, he just sent Bdubs his fucking address.

    And okay, if Etho does something insane, Bdubs has to match it. That’s their entire dynamic. That’s been their entire dynamic for at least a decade, if not more.
    Which is the only possible justification Bdubs can give for why his first response to the DM with Etho’s address, typed out neatly with proper capitalization and line breaks and everything, is to open Google Maps and start packing a bag.

    Summary

    The position brings a new wave of panic, makes Scott clench his jaw to keep from crying. He’s never been this close to his friend, has never been wrapped up in his arms like this, held tight and intimate like a partner. It makes his stomach swoop, how much he likes it, how much he’s been craving this for as long as he’s known Andy. It makes him feel pathetic, makes him feel like a fraud.
