Summary
My take on Aleida’s personal and emotional journey between Seasons 2 and 3 as she becomes a U.S. citizen, senior engineer, wife, mother - and perhaps most of all, Margo’s girl. Starts in 1984, some months after Apollo-Soyuz.
Multi-chapter fic, mostly from Aleida’s POV but with a healthy sprinkling of other perspectives (Margo, Victor). Fic and chapter titles are from the song “Turns Within Me, Turns Without Me” by The Paper Kites.
*Actively updating and committed to completing*

Summary
After the JSC bombing, Aleida Rosales becomes obsessed with tracking the stranded astronauts’ dwindling food rations. As flight director of the Sojourner 2 mission to get the Mars crew safely home, she clings to her goal of rescuing them from starvation while navigating the continued fall-out in her home life.
In other words: snapshots of Aleida’s life and mental health journey in the months following Season 3.

Summary
Aleida has only let one person see her scars - until today. One-shot, set in 1986. This fic is a small piece of my multi-chapter fic (Turns within me, turns without me), but I’ve also published it as a stand-alone work in my “Aleida between Seasons 2 and 3” series.
Title comes from a lyric in the song Brave, by Sara Bareilles.

Summary
One-shot, follow-up to the cooking scene in 4x05. Aleida worries a sudden international business trip will jeopardize the marriage they’ve rebuilt after the JSC bombing. Victor sees things differently.
—-
They’d kissed in the kitchen. It was brief, but more than a little hot. He’d tasted like perfectly-seasoned rice and the promise of later that night, Javi had been disgusted, and she’d retorted that their son wouldn’t be alive “if we didn’t do stuff like that.” Then her phone had rung.Series

Summary
Aleida and Victor, after the bombing. Set after the vigil scene in 3x10.
Her first thought after the bombing that’s not *about* the bombing is that they hadn’t touched each other in six months, but today they haven’t stopped touching each other.
…
She doesn’t know what this means for them. She doesn’t think he knows, either.Series
