Summary
For decades, centuries, I do not speak my name or hear my name spoken. I speak: talking to myself becomes a habit early on, and I have no will to try to prevent it. It's a sign of my mind degrading in the isolation, like heat is a sign of proximity to combustion. Natural, and unavoidable. I talk to myself, in the quiet, and I sing to myself, and I pluck the ship communication threads often, asking it to relay the same information over and over, just to create sounds. But no one calls me by name. I am no one, known to nobody.
Then the alien comes.

Summary
The inherent eroticism of being perceived with curiosity and without judgment. Or, what if you were on your way to Tau Ceti e to save the world, and your alien best friend watched you get off for science, and then you learned some interesting xenoanthropological facts about Eridian mating customs? Well, it happened to my buddy Ryland Grace.
"You can see?" I whisper.
"I hear." Rocky matches my quiet tone. "I hear everything."
And that's interesting, because those words fuse white-hot with my pulse, and earth themselves with a thump between my legs, and all of a sudden I'm not soft anymore.
Okay. Yeah. We're way past being shy.

Summary
Grace and Rocky set sail for Erid and unpack all their emotional baggage along the way.
When you're stuck in a tin can for almost four years, it's rarely smooth sailing. But, hey! At least your best friend is there to call you an idiot, and you're almost certainly going to die when you reach your destination!
(Or: The one where Rocky builds a robot instead of an EVA suit)

Summary
Jayce wakes up after the arcane explosion, except- he is alone.
Determined to find Viktor, he seeks shelter in what appears to be an abandoned house in the middle of a meadow.
As the days and weeks go by, Jayce realizes, the house might be bigger than it seems (and Viktor might be closer that he thought).
----
Or a post-finale fic inspired by House of Leaves, where Jayce is haunted by his mistakes and his desires.

Summary
Rust — Rust a fool — allows himself to imagine a world in which he turns. A world in which they solve this together, they grind it out and start thinking, really thinking, pavements and hard man-hours, answer to nobody but themselves, they solve it. Marty turns. Let this be that world — it’s the world of shit-all else, it’s the world where Rust wakes up wishing he hadn’t every fucking morning, the world in which he knows the sound a child’s bones, still soft, make under the wheels of an ‘84 Mercedes 230CE — let him have this, just this. Only this.
Marty doesn’t turn. Marty mutters under his breath, “Sanctimonious prick,” and Marty leaves.
They arrest Rust twenty-one days later.
