    Summary

    Gossan and Slate always argued, but it never used to be so vindictive.

    Feldspar was determined to make their hatchlinghood dream to go to space a reality. Enlisting the help of their friends; Gossan, a drill operator in the mines; Slate, the village's emerging engineer; Hornfels, the newest director of the Observatory; and Esker, a tree-keeper of few words; they worked to create Timber Hearth's first—and only—space program. The tribulations of such a monumental endeavor bound the five of them together. None of them anticipated how easily everything would come undone when Feldspar was gone.

    Summary

    You said your goodbyes, and then went to observe the Eye.

    The Vessel had other ideas, and now, despite still being in your solar system, you are further from home than you've ever been before.

    Summary

    Fate does not make choices, provided it exists at all. The universe merely exists, unmoving: and thus, under many circumstances, the reason why anyone can feel special when confronted to the extraordinary is nothing short of pure happenstance.
    Hal has been fascinated with the museum’s statue all morning. When this new exhibit suddenly opens its eyes to stare right back into theirs, their curiosity can only grow exponentially… and so will their list of problems.

    Or: What if Hal was the one being paired, instead of the usual protagonist?

    Summary

    “Hey, I thought I might see you before the big launch,” you call out as they approach you. “Nerves getting the better of you?”

    They don't reply, just... look at you for a while. They slowly scan over your clothes, your hands, your face, lingering at your scarred eye.

    You arch a brow at them. “Need something, hatchling?”

    Eventually, they settle within themself, square their shoulders, and look at you. “Think you can give me a hand with something for a minute?”

    or - a series of goodbyes that didn't stick.

    Summary

    The light of the exploding singularity is brighter than anything Obsidian has ever imagined. Breathtaking as a spark of hope when they thought everything was lost. Obsidian would know, they'd worn that feeling like a second skin, loop, after loop, after loop. The feeling still holds them even as pure light, pure possibility, consumes them. Then, nothing.

    Obsidian wakes up…
