    Summary

    "Come on, show me your masterpiece," Grace said, feeling helplessly charmed. "What's it about?"

    "Is proposal," Rocky said.

    "Oh yeah?" Grace smiled. He stretched his arms up, reaching until his spine popped. Maybe taking a break from his experiments was the right call after all. "Sounds exciting. What are you proposing?"

    "Propose Grace Rocky get married," Rocky said.

    Grace twitched violently, fell sideways off the viewing platform, and banged his elbow hard into DGCR screen six.

     

    Rocky and Grace watch a movie and talk about their friendship. Also they love each other to the ends of the infinite, expanding universe.

    Summary

    “Please,” he whispers, hoping the eel can’t hear him, “please, I want to live. I just want to live, I don’t want to die. Please don’t let me die.”

    The turning of a new eye upon him feels as if he’s been scrubbed raw suddenly, the truth of him pulled from the dark places he’d made to hide it away as something answers him.

    “What would you do if you were to live, little star?”

    OR

    Simon is rescued at the last minute by *something* and dropped onboard the Hail Mary at quite possibly the worst time. Ryland Grace is fresh off a horrible fishing trip and his best friend is comatose. As the most injured and broken versions of themselves, they meet.

    Summary

    Gabriel let out an ugly bark of laughter and abruptly looked away, his hand rubbing against the front of his helm.

    “Machine,” he said in wry, twisted amusement, “you are far more likely to grow a soul. When a day comes that an object such as yourself possesses such a thing, will be the day an angel can live without Father’s light.”

    V1 knew a challenge when it heard one. It also knew it excelled at winning them.

    or;

    In Gabriel's final hours, he and V1 make a bet.
