    Summary

    There are plenty of rooms on the ship that have windows, but they've always been given to Security, and to those whom Security values or desires something from. Still, they can't keep the stars entirely to themselves. There are cleaning crews and service technicians who must be allowed in to do their jobs, and word spreads through them, in brief whispers exchanged in the corridors, in notes and hearsay and rumor.

     

    There's a planet outside, an actual planet.

    Summary

    "We could get up," he says softly, and that's a question, too. "We could go for a walk while the sun's still up."

    "We could," Enjolras agrees. It's a tempting offer. But it's been so very long since they've been able to do anything but crash into this bed together and immediately fall into exhausted oblivion. And Grantaire is here and warm and smiling at him, a closer and greater temptation than the lure of a walk and the prospect of solitude and empty horizons all around them.

    He leaves the 'or' unvoiced, unneeded, implied in the way he tilts his head to match Grantaire's and kisses him in turn, no deeper than the first but this one lingering, offering.

    Summary

    He was brilliant, as close to all-knowing as a human could possibly be, and he was slowly being whittled down to a drooling half-wit by a big-eyed, eerily silent three-year-old, the smallest baby known to mankind, and a black and white rabbit that ate absolutely everything that happened to be on floor level, including tape, electrical wiring, carpet fibers, wood molding, and socks.

    Summary

    There’s a lot more personality in Bucky now; he’s taken to buying breathable long-sleeved shirts that still let him disguise the metal arm instead of bulletproof jackets and hoodies all the time. Surprisingly, no one in Australia seems concerned about the fact only one sleeve is ripped off. Modern fashion, and all that. He’s not interested in wearing purple, which is a little disappointing.

    He’s also not interested in going back to the States.

    Summary

    The footage goes crackly then and Clint swears, but the static doesn’t do anything to mask the way the air shimmers and a pair of huge, silver-tipped white wings fan out from the Soldier’s back as he jumps.

    Clint’s breath catches and the longing hits him so hard he nearly crashes the plane.

    God, that’s- that’s something, alright.
