    Summary

    If you're Starfleet, you spend your whole life wishing you never see an EPAS uniform right up until the moment they become your only hope. Whether you're dying a slow, cold death in space, or a long painful one on some godforsaken planet, they're going to come for you. So count your last breaths, son, and hold on tight. They leave no soul behind.

    EDIT: Amazing trailer made by Тигр Бумажный :http://youtu.be/9mn8Cxju070

    Summary

    It’s not that Ellie means to stalk the couple she catches lurking in the shadows at 1 in the morning after sneaking out of her dorm because sitting in the room alone was making it hard to breathe, but fellow curfew-breakers can hardly expect privacy. All’s fair in love and rule-breaking or whatever their English teacher said in one of the rare classes when they were learning something not related to FEDRA policy.

    And there’s something in the way the man holds his hand out to help pull the woman up over a crumbled brick wall that she just can’t look away from.

    There’s a gentleness there despite his size and obvious strength that makes her breath catch for just a second. It’s too far for her to hear what they’re saying, but the woman says something with a little half-smile and presses her hand to the man’s shoulder, and the casual affection of the gesture fills her with a nameless want.

    So, trailing them at a distance it is.

    (AU in which Ellie follows Joel and Tess around and meets them with no Fireflies involved)

    Summary

    The first time she comes barreling into the house like the devil’s on her heels, he’s on his feet with his gun in hand at once, stepping between her and the door, sure an intruder is about to burst through after her. He readies himself for a fight, already planning how to get an attacker out of the house and away from Ellie.

    And then he hears her laughing.

    He turns to see her, panting and sweaty, laid out on the floor like she’s a rug, her face practically glowing with the force of her smile. She lifts both hands to the air in fists and cheers.

    “What are you doing,” he asks, but the question comes out flat in light of his confusion. He gives the door one more look, but no intruder is imminent, and he holsters his gun, going to one knee beside Ellie, still on her back, breathing hard.

    “I beat it!” She says, clearly proud about whatever the hell she’s talking about.

    “Beat what?” He asks.

    “Curfew!” She nearly crows.

    He blinks.

    It’s possible they’ve had a misunderstanding about what exactly a curfew is.

    (some sweet settling in together fluff with just a smidge of feels for flavor)

    Summary

    "Maybe," Peter thought, "I can make a life here."
    Hence the tears and the guilt and the grief, because was Peter allowed to move on? Was he allowed to… to leave it all behind? Leave all the bad things in the past?
    Peter was "The Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man!" after all, and wasn’t he letting Queens - his people - down if he didn’t fight tooth and nail to get back to them?
    or

    Peter's tired. He's so tired, and he doesn't know what to do, but maybe things will get better.
    (They do.)

    technically inspired by Dark Matter by mysterycyclone but really only the "Peter in the DC Universe" part
