Summary
Ryland debated with himself for all of seven seconds on the ethics of fake dating a celebrity in exchange for a stupid amount of money.
On the one hand, was he willing to sacrifice his integrity to help a celebrity unmuck his name from his own lack of foresight?
On the other hand, that was a lot of ribeye and sour skittles he could buy…
Ryland planted his hands on his hips and stared the lady down. “Just one more question,” he said, pushing his slipping glasses up his face. “Who the heck is Tom Ryder?”
He did not expect the wide array of reactions to his question. Colt threw his head back with a cackle. Jody fought a laugh behind bitten lips. The lady in front of him pinched the inner corner of her eyes and muttered something about murder being easier to cover up than whatever this malarky was. The man standing petulantly behind her stared at him in a weird mixture of shock, outrage, and disbelief.
“… What?”
OR:
Ryland Grace is willing to do the most insane summer scheme for some ribeye and sour skittles.

Summary
“Nope–no you have to keep the pressure on that, Colt–” Jody grabbed his hand, guided it back upward, glancing over his shoulder to see what he was looking at.
There wasn’t anything of note behind him, just the pavement and a laughing couple stumbling their way around the corner.
Was he concussed?
“I’m not Colt,” Colt said, interrupting Jody’s thoughts. He cocked his head to the side, frowned, tried to lower his hand for the third time like he’d already forgotten what he was supposed to be doing. “I’m trying–I need to find Colt. M’not him.”
Oh, yeah, he was definitely fucking concussed.
(Ryland is concussed, Colt is framed for murder and concussed, and Jody is definitively lost in all the sauce because someone forgot to tell her that Colt has a twin brother.)

Summary
“Call me?”, he repeated to himself. “What does that..”, he mumbled before cutting himself off. He’d properly opened the sticky note to see what it said, that which ended up being Ryder’s phone number accompanied by some silly doodles of hearts and something that seemed pretty hastily written. ‘It waz nice talkin to u pretty boy, call me!’
What.
When had Ryder even made this?! Surely this must truly be a fever dream because there is no way that Tom Ryder just gave him his number. Why would he do that?! He doubted the guy was in need of friends… Ryland stared at the sticky note again, reading it a few more times before he brought his hand up and gave himself a slight slap on his cheek.
Nope, not a dream.

Summary
"What's going on between you and Ryder?"
Ryland sighs, "Nothing."
Colt nods, "That sure looked like a whole lot of nothing when you yelled at him in front of his trailer and then he apologized to the crew like a scolded child."
Ryland really didn't want to explain his college exploits to Colt. He did really stupid things in college, Tom Ryder being the worst of them. But there is no escape from this.
"I slept with Tom multiple times in college."
"What?!" Colt slams on the breaks, sending both of them flying forward in their seats.
"Jesus, Colt!" Ryland yelps.
Or Ryland Grace is hired as a science consultant on Jody’s newest movie but the small summer job ends up bringing Tom Ryder back into his life. Now Ryland has to act like their relationship in college and the chasm of ten years of silence doesn’t matter anymore, even though Tom is determined to bring it up at every turn.

Ryland Grace vs. The World-Building Implications of Scenting by Aster_MacGuffin

Summary
Ryland Grace, savior of humanity, is invited to a gala celebrating the 5th anniversary of solving the Astrophage Crisis. It is a mandatory scent-neutral event requiring everyone to wear heavy-duty blockers. Which is why when he is approached by Tom Ryder stinking the room with his alpha scent, he considers two explanations.
One: Tom Ryder is an entitled jerk who thinks he is above even the mandated policies of the Petrova Foundation.
Two: Since no one else seems to be reacting to Ryder, this means that only Ryland can smell him. Which means their compatibility is so high that it bypassed industrial-grade blockers.
Or in more romantic terms, they are soulmates.
But if that's the case, why does Ryder smell so repulsive to him? Answer: Definitely Option One. Right?
OR:
Scenting is usually taken as an afterthought in Omegaverse. This is an attempt to explore the biological, cultural, and sociopolitical implications of such an ability if taken seriously in our world-building.
An exercise in speculative biology, delivered through the medium of Starstruck (Ryder/Grace).
