Summary
The Hail Mary was a familiar situation. A small vessel, limited resources, skeleton crew. Grace had excess because it was supposed to be a three person team, but that didn't automatically mean it was available for Simon to use. Taking what they were saying at face value, that he didn't have to fulfill a particular role in order to benefit from the onboard resources, it was difficult. It was like trying to imagine the smell of fresh air. He knew it existed, but he had no way to know what it was like.
Existing and taking up space on a cramped ship wasn't anything new to Simon. He had lived on his fair share of space fairing vessels and stationary structures, by himself or with others for different lengths of time. Each time, he had a job. Each time, he was expected to contribute to the crew or be considered a waste of resources. There wasn't enough of anything left to give to someone that wasn't useful. A small, angry voice inside his head screamed at him to be useful.

Summary
The mission was this:
A corporation known as MIRA had obtained a system of planets called the Alenuora Cluster, with the biggest draw of the system being a planet called Polus.
The problem was that Polus is not an uninhabited planet. -

Summary
Three years after the probes carrying Taumoeba and Dr. Ryland Grace's final message arrive on Earth, humanity launches an interstellar spaceship with a brand new mission. Thirty-six crew members (including two graduates of a certain San Franciscan junior high school) travel to the star 40-Eridani to make friendly contact with the Eridians and bring them the alien life form from Tau Ceti-E that can save their star if Dr. Grace's sacrifice failed.
Grace, now fifty-seven years old, is just trying to balance his life as a teacher while no longer being the only human on the planet anymore. It's a big adjustment, but Rocky and the Terra's Grace crew are going to make sure he's well taken care of.

Summary
I lived with this hunger long before the Hail Mary. This is nothing new. I’m fine.
Right up until Rocky asks another question.
“When last time you touch other human person skin, question?”
Oh. Oh no. “When I… a few days after I first woke up here.”
Rocky starts to relax for a split second, but then tightens when something occurs to him.
“Grace crewmates dead when you wake up. You said this, statement. You not even know your own name, remember nothing, see dead bodies, confirm?”
I nod, because if I open my mouth I will gag.
“When last time Grace touch ALIVE human person, question.”
I swallow thickly. I don’t answer aloud because I know Rocky can hear the hitch in my breath. My stomach churns with fresh bile. He senses my vital signs tick over into stress patterns and goes very, very still again.
“Grace. When last time, question.”
I clench my jaw so hard my temples ache, and beg him with my eyes to just stop.
“Grace. Please say not when… when Evil Stratt humans put you to sleep.”
I can taste grass.

Summary
“I don’t need to know what you are,” Illuga says. “Just give me something. Something to cling to the next time you run headfirst into danger alone.”
Flins sees the ghosts behind those pleading eyes, the shadows he tries to bathe in light, to pretend his lantern could drown them out rather than push them further into the corners of his mind. And he knows the stories, knows the haunted past that Illuga doesn’t like to talk about, the reason Flins’ answer matters.
He settles on a simple, yet vague truth.
“I am… not so easily killed,” he admits.
“If you’re lying to me,” Illuga says. “I will summon you from the grave and kill you myself.”

Summary
“Come on,” comes the whisper on his skin. Tighnari shivers, his tail whipping against Cyno’s thigh. “We need to get you hydrated.”
“Don’t tell me what to do,” Tighnari says, petulant, even as he drops into the chair. He wraps his tail around his waist, tremors within it that he knows will soon spread to the rest of him.
“Don’t be difficult and I won’t.”
“Am I? Being difficult?”
“No,” Cyno says like it’s a secret, like a confession, like the taste of his lips. “Are you planning to be?”
Or: If you thought a heat would make an omega less bossy, clearly you've never met Tighnari.

Legally it qualifies as a frat party. Luckily they’re in Taisho Japan so no one knows what that is.
