Summary
"Cold.
Always cold, for as long as she could remember.
She was from Cyberia, of course her childhood was filled with bundling in heavy coats on the very few occasions where Nastya got to leave the palace.
And of course, upon escaping from the palace, bleeding on the snow, she was perhaps the coldest she had ever been. She hadn't had time to grab a coat or even a blanket in her rush to leave the chaos. Carmilla had found Nastya curled in on herself in the snow, trying desperately to keep her blood in her chest.
The only warmth she felt that day came from Carmilla's hand."

Summary
Its been a long while since Carmilla saw her elder children, and as usual, she is letting them do as they please. Until, of course, she gets a transmission from Ashes claiming that Nastya went missing five thousand years prior, that they've run out of options and are now seeking out their old mother/captain's help. What can she do but take a visit to her children and try and pick up the pieces, and of course, find her missing daughter?
Otherwise, Nastya's gone out. And Carmilla's coming to visit to fix the mess her kids have gotten into this time.

Summary
“For a short time that felt like a long time, it was normal for her to be empty. It was normal. She took a breath and tried to hold on as it escaped between the curved cage of her chest and watched it go. It was normal for her to be empty.”

Summary
Nastya sat curled up in one of the hidden nooks of her beloved Aurora, where she used to go as a respite from the rest of the crew to spend time with her love. Normally being with Aurora like this would warm her inside, but today her quicksilver blood remained cold running through her veins.
Nastya realizes that the Aurora is no longer the same Aurora, her Aurora, after millennia of alterations, repairs, and improvements to the starship.

Summary
The aftermath of my dear friend Emma's fic, The Fire Without Now Burns Within
That fic follows a scenario in which Brian goes absolutely feral after falling into Avalon. This is the aftermath.
This will make no sense without reading that. Read that first.
Otherwise, in which Ashes's has their ribcage crushed. Damaging their lungs. Jonny is pulled out of the void, poor man is freezing out there, and Ashes progressively gets angrier at Brian for what he did during the events of The Fire Now Burns Within.

There was a man both good and true….
And they left him in a fucking sun. They left him to hang, and then they left him in a sun. They left him. They left him.
A century, his vague perception of time told him. He was in there for a century, not counting the eternity spent on the station itself before its fiery demise. And they just left him there.

Summary
What does it mean to love a spaceship?
How do you love an object, a giant home made to host a bizarre and dysfunctional in the depths of space? How can you love cold metal, someone without a face, without arms to hold and without a mouth to kiss?
How can you love someone without a voice?
Nastya knows the answer to all this questions. -
