The arrow set fly so long ago finally struck empty space, an absence, a still-warm corpse. Pearl, with so much love to give, and yet again, no one to take it from her cold and broken hands.
Collection of my angsty ficlets crossposted from tumblr about Pearl (+1 v short gempearl). Ongoing and not directly connected

Summary
Fault tolerance/catastrophic functionality:
a system's capability to handle faults without any degradation or downtime. [...] Failure tolerant systems mask errors and maintain failure-free operation in the presence of one or more faulty components. [Wikipedia]Eva Stratt knows Ryland Grace has a problem.
But the end of the world doesn't stop for one man's problems, and she can't afford to lose her leading Astrophage expert to rehab.

Summary
“Proof of concept,” ♫♬♯♩♩♫ says. “We’ve tested it thoroughly to ensure it fits the specified nutritional profile, and several members of our team have ingested small amounts of it to ensure there were no adverse effects.”
“You ate some of it?” I ask, rudely. I’m too irate to mind my language. Who do they think they are? That meat is for Grace. In a way, that meat is Grace.
“Yes,” ♫♬♯♩♩♫ says. They and the rest of the human life support thrum know better than to be offended by my occasionally strange behaviour. “Obviously we weren’t going to risk the life of Honoured Grace on a completely untested technology.”
That doesn’t mean much. There’s a lot of things that are safe for ingestion by Eridians that would outright kill a human.
Trust Grace, I remind myself. He’ll have thought of all this.
(OR: Grace's meburgers from the book epilogue. Let's talk about those!)

This signal will repeat until there are none left to send it by Moonshine_Dan, Synthyk (Moonshine_Dan)

Summary
The elevator's receiver array picks up a garbage signal beamed in from deep space. No matter their attempts, Eridian scientists cannot make top or bottom of it. A misfire, or an echo of that long lost crew's final transmission, most likely. It is recorded, but never publicized.
And then it happens again.

Summary
You are profoundly alone. You have been for a while. Suddenly, you aren't anymore, and you are struggling to be normal about it. Pooling strengths and weaknesses with the strange creature on its explosive-atmosphere ship might just be the only way to save both of your stars, but it might also lead to more than just strictly scientific discoveries, and neither of you are sure how to feel about that.
OR: The universe's most unlikely meet-cute.
