    Summary

    Burke hired you to study the aliens. You got to the colony. You died. You woke up. You got to the colony. You died. You woke up. And through it all, you seemed to be the only one who realized what was going on.

    I guess you could call this a Groundhog Day AU.

    Summary

    Jackie just cocks his head, playing it cool—way too cool for the proposition he’s just tossed at her. “I mean, you’re tellin’ me you’ve never thought about it?”

    She doesn’t answer right away. Can’t. There’s no version of the truth that doesn’t blow a hole in something.

    Because yes. Holy shit yes.

    Summary

    Twenty eight days. They needed to keep Atem's new body in a perfectly sterile environment for almost a month. Seto tried to muster some annoyance at the thought, but he couldn't quell the buzz of excitement in his chest.

    In quarantine there'd be nowhere to run. He should hate the thought, but he felt strangely elated by it. He couldn't help thinking back to every step he took towards Atem where the other man took a step in the opposite direction. Some twisted part of him thrilled at Atem being unable to run away. It was hardly a decent reaction–to love his rival's confinement. What a selfish, childish impulse, like keeping a dragonfly trapped in a jar for his own amusement.

    Whatever. He never claimed to be a decent person.
