    Summary

    “Don’t cry,” Omega gently wipes the tears away with her hand. “You’re safe.”
    Crosshair breathes deeply in answer, feeling exhaustion creeping upon him. He fights it down.
    “Talk to me,” he murmurs instead as he did back on Tantiss when the screaming in his head became too loud.
    And so Omega talks, her voice soothing, as they lay together, their limbs tangled and Crosshair almost can breathe again.

     

    Crosshair is back with the Batch but it's only a start.

    Summary

    The cruelest thing about the Nameless was that they made it so easy to pretend that Sunday belonged. They fed that greedy, stupid, childish thing that cried out from within him, tossing enough scraps of amity for him to piece them together into something that felt like home. The curtains only closed when Sunday lay awake at night and stared at the ceiling of the bedroom that wasn’t really his, and he remembered that it started like this and could only end like this: with him, alone in the dark.

    Sunday is found by the Astral Express Crew after fleeing Penacony. He accepts their offer to join, and realizes that

    a. fitting into this tight-knit group is likely impossible
    b. trouble finds the Trailblazers no matter where they go.

    or, the chronicle of the Astral Express trying, failing, and trying again to fit Sunday into their family.

    Summary

    When he announced he was going to check the perimeters, it was for two reasons. One, because he couldn’t shake the feeling that raiders weren’t the only things lurking in that frozen wasteland, and two, because he needed a moment to be alone, to process all the thoughts running rampid through his brain. Unfortunately, the second he stepped away, Hunter predictably followed, burning with righteous indignation.

    Summary

    He was powerless, completely and utterly powerless, and it was the one goddamn time in his life he tried to actually reach out and help… He tried to speak, tried to move, and it hurt. He tried to do anything, and it hurt. He was powerless, and it hurt…

    He prayed to that damned dead pixel, to the stars beyond them, to anything or anyone who’d listen…

    Please. Please let me have a chance. One more chance to fix this…

    Curly woke up, gasping for air, eyes wide. One last chance to make things right.

    Aka

    Curly finds himself back in the past and with what he knows of the possibilities the future holds, he takes off his rose-tinted glasses and actually takes action to protect his crew from the man he once called a friend
