    Summary

    John is a better man than Cecil, which is why he doesn’t ignore any of Cecil’s moans and pleas, his large wet eyes and the way he grunts and groans against the blades.

    (Or: John admires every one of his students. At least, he admires them as receptacles for his teachings. )

    Summary

    It was supposed to be a normal bounty. He remembers that now, in ugly out-of-sync flashes. Some guy who skipped out on a court date, and then got involved in some spacer shit, and ended up on this desert planet. It had been pretty, all reds and pinks. Gunnie had been surprised by how pretty it was.

    And then it turned out the asshole had rigged a four-mile radius around his house with landmines, and the ground had collapsed underneath him.

    Summary

    “Barry asked me to eavesdrop on your conversation with the captain,” Riva said serenely, their webbed hands suspended on either side of their body.

    Barry’s eyes went wide. “Riva,” he hissed, going faintly pink as his eyes darted guiltily back to Sidney.

    “Oh, was I not supposed to tell her? Sorry, I didn’t know you wanted it to be a secret.” Riva turned to Sidney, smiling vaguely. “I think it’s very nice that you wanted to make him coffee, Sid. It was rather rude of him to yell at you like that. I’d take a latte if you made it for me, although I’m not quite sure how I’d drink it.”

    Sidney was sure that if she had blood, it would all be rushing to her face right about now. Barry asked Riva to eavesdrop on her? Which meant they’d both heard about the stupid mistake she’d made, and how the captain had berated her for it, how he’d talked to her like he thought she was the stupidest thing alive. Hell, they both probably thought the captain was right.

    Sidney herself was starting to wonder if the captain was right.

    ***

    (Barry is worried about Sidney. They bake a pie and have a heart-to-heart.)
