    Summary

    “Houston, do you copy?”

    Caitlyn panicked, feeling extraordinarily unprepared having been thrust into her new position without so much as even a handbook to consult. What were the formalities? What was she supposed to respond with? Where was the damn push to talk button…

    “Hellooo? I said Houston, do you copy?”

    Caitlyn fiddled with her headset, having finally found the green button on the side and hastily letting out a rather breathless reply. “Um, yes. Hello? This is Houston. I copy.”

    There was a long pause in which Caitlyn sat twiddling her thumbs, anxiety pushing the frantic pulse of her heartbeat through her eardrums. Was that wrong? Did she already fuck up? She took a steady deep breath, finger hovering over the talk button until the familiar voice of the astronaut came through her headset once more.

    “Damn, Houston. I didn’t expect you to sound so sexy.”

    OR

    Caitlyn has been assigned as the personal capcom to one of the astronauts currently on a year long expedition at the international space station. Cue long months of pining and desperate longing.

    Summary

    “Umma,” Nari whispered in awe, her fingers tracing lightly along Mira’s skin, “you have patterns too… like Momma.”

    It took Mira a second to process what she meant. She glanced down, finally realizing her daughter’s little hands were resting over the faint stretch marks that curved softly along the sides of her stomach.

    “Oh,” Mira breathed, letting out a quiet laugh, “these aren’t patterns, plum.”

    Nari blinked up at her, clearly unconvinced, waiting for more.

    “They’re called stretch marks,” Mira explained gently, resting her own hand over Nari’s to guide her tiny fingertips. “When you were in my belly, you kept growing… and my stomach grew with you so you’d have more room. The marks showed up as my skin stretched to make space for you.”

    Nari’s small brows furrowed, processing that with deep toddler concentration. Her fingertip traced along one of the faint silvery lines, feather-light and curious.

    “I was in here?” she asked softly, glancing up at Mira like she was confirming the biggest secret in the world.

    Mira’s chest warmed, a quiet ache pressing behind her ribs. She nodded slowly. “Mhm. The whole nine months.”

    or

    Polytrix as mothers.

    Summary

    Rumi does not remember much of her life before the Bite, only soft shadows of memories and flickers of feelings that are as confusing as they are fleeting, but she remembers them.

    She knows that she loves them with the same absolute certainty that she had known her own name; that she loves them deeply, desperately and with utter devotion. She has wanted to find Zoey and Mira for years, but Father has forbidden it and Rumi, angry but dutiful, must obey.

    But when Rumi sees them again after so long a hunger like nothing she has ever known roars to life inside her.


    Mira can’t shake the awful feeling that something is watching them.

    Summary

    Just as he finished setting up the link, the screen flashed a few times before going dark. The buzz of the pod sputtered to a stop, like an old truck on its last few miles of life. Not a healthy comparison.

    Jake frowned, but before he could even think to whack some sense back into the machine, the lights came back on, and all the link data came rushing back to the screen.

    Okay, then.

    He glanced wearily over his shoulder, almost expecting Norm to appear out of nowhere to tell him he’d set the machine up wrong. He knows he did it right - but it’d never done that, before.

    ***

    Jake's pod glitches. In his eagerness to see Neytiri, he ignores it.

    Summary

    Zoey doesn’t know how long she stands there in the middle of her room, gawking at the notification flashing at her screen.

    Well, notifications, plural. They’re back to back on her home screen, right under all her social media notifications of people showering her with likes for today’s breakfast.

    Ryu Rumi sent you $250.00
    “For lunch! Let me know if you need more xo”

    Kang Mira sent you $501.00
    “lmk if she sent more than 500, I can double it lol”

    Zoey loudly declares, “What the HELL?”

    Or, broke college student Zoey goes viral for her revolting college meals—and rich girls Rumi and Mira find a little pity (among other things) in their hearts for her.
