    Summary

    “So how would this have all gone? Theoretically?” he asks, eyes narrowed as he paces for a moment, before he stops back where he started. “You just…would’ve what? Straight jacketed me into a coma and sent me to space?”

    “No, Jesus,” she says quietly, feels the hurt settle across her chest, “I would’ve asked you. I would’ve sat you down and asked you.”

    He half laughs, disbelieving. “And what then? If I’d said no?”

    or: he was always the back-up plan. one year after launch, she finally tells him.

    Summary

    “My parents are happy I’m friends with Sarah,” she dips her hand back in, grazing the surface of the water, “they think she’s a positive influence. She’ll make me more of a Kook.”

    It doesn’t slip past him the way Kook is said with scorn.

    “You say that like it’s a death sentence,” Rafe’s eyes closes and he tilts his head back to rest on the bricks.

    “Take a look around Rafe, that’s exactly what it is.”

    He exhales the smoke in his lungs, “So you’d rather run away and hide?”

    “Isn’t that exactly what you’re doing as well?”

     

    or: Kiara Carrera acts out during her Kook Year and Rafe Cameron happens to be in her direct line of fire. She doesn't even want to think about the consequences of this, not yet.

    Summary

    When a heavy storm hits the ship, Grace and Stratt find themselves forced into close proximity and repressed feelings accidentally come to the surface.
    This changes some things, and spans over thirty years.

    (June; Ryland and Dr Lokken are flown to remote Alaska to participate in preliminary engine testing using astrophage fuel; they spend two weeks in the wilderness, evading bears and trying not to get into shouting matches in front of everyone. Rasmussen installs the improved and approved o-rings. Ryland discovers that he misses falling asleep with Eva in his bed. The first round of testing is successful; the night he returns to the ship, he and Eva fuck three times and end up talking instead of sleeping, anyway. She tells him that she missed him. He thinks that he might love her.)

    (In July they nuke Antarctica. It’s hard to top that one.)

    Summary

    “I’m sure.” Lena doesn’t mean to snap —it’s more of a mild annoyance if anything because if her once best friend doesn’t know that there is no way in hell she would be doing this if she didn’t want to, if she didn’t, however unwillingly, trust Kara with this, then did she ever know her at all? “As long as you’re amenable, Kara, I’m offering my complete consent. Is that okay, or would you like it in writing as well?”

    For the first time, Lena’s snipe and the crystal clear memory of their last phone call just makes Kara smile. “I’m good,” she says softly.

    “Good.”

    “You know, a week ago, the morning after we— I’d convinced myself it was a dream. I was scared to check my call log.”

    “Do you have many wet dreams about me, Kara?”

    Kara laughs suddenly, though she can’t help but feel like she’s been missing out on an essential experience. “No.”

    “Shame.”

    “You, uh, you hung up last time,” Kara ventures hesitantly. “Before I could…”

    “If you’re worried I didn’t complete the mission, I’m happy to inform you that I did.”

    “No, before I could tell you that you sounded beautiful.”

    Or, the one with phone sex and feelings and the complexity of forgiveness.
