    Summary

    Pearl has spent over a year in space with a crew of three under her command on an outdated space station. She’s tired, unsure, and knows she won’t be catching a break for at least another year. She is not expecting late additions to the crew.

    Gem knows she’s an astronaut. Gem also knows she’s supposed to have a body. She knows she can see a space station. And a person in a space suit, untethered, careening towards it like an asteroid. She is not expecting that person to be her.

    -

    Gempearl split POV space fic strongly influenced by space fiction podcast Wolf 359, taking in fun details from Wild Life.
    FEATURING: Space, women loving women, three guy best friends, shady corporations, cosmic beings beyond comprehension, out of date equipment, wildly inaccurate sci-fi very loosely based on fact, one (1) ghost, zero (???) aliens, and whatever’s being kept in deep storage...

    Summary

    [Mind Games AU]

    [Rated T for some minor depictions of violence, blood, and death. This is the Life Series afterall.]

    A retelling of Secret Life but Hermitcraft Gem world jumps and ends up in the game instead. After finding out the dark truth about these death loop matches and how dire this situation is for these alternate versions of her friends, she gains the help of the champions from previous seasons as they try to find a way out of these games.

    At the same time, the Watchers' influence over both the players and the game has been restrained this season due to an unknown source fighting against them. Grian uses this opportunity, while also fighting against his own Watcher Instincts, to push back the Watchers' trickery before they claim another champion.

    (This AU is heavily inspired by Martyn's Eyes & Ears AU with a few of my own twists and other ideas I gained from the fandom added to it.)

    Summary

    “Gem,” Scott says, quiet. Half-muffled across the wall separating them. “Checking in.”

    “Haven’t died,” Gem manages. The words scratch her throat on the way out, voice hoarse and ragged. She doesn’t even remember screaming, though. Most of it’s just a blur. It’s all hazy now, like the first film of ice just settling over a river.

    “We should, uh.” Scott stutters; she barely catches a shuddering breath. “Probably try to talk to me more, okay? I don’t know if you should be dozing off, or zoning out or—You know. I think it’s supposed to be a bad idea to sleep with a head injury.”
