Summary
In this life his name is Jackson Frost and he only knows of the others through the dreams he has at night. More often than not he wakes up gasping, tears in his eyes and a vague sense of wrongness in the things around him. He grew up in this room. He’s had the same ink drawings framed against the wall since he was three, and the bed frame bears the scars of a pocket knife he received when he was thirteen. This place is familiar and it should be home, but he’s been disconnected from it ever since he met General Pitchiner at his father’s retirement banquet.
A reincarnation fic.

Summary
Kozmotis is the sort of man that everyone knows, not because he’s friendly or outgoing but because he has a very set routine. Jack had realized this long ago and he...isn’t stalking, exactly, he just happens to strategically place himself in certain places at certain times of the day to make sure he sees Kozmotis.

Summary
“We’d remember before then. We still know our way around the stars, for the most part. We would find a way. We have eternity, Koz, we may as well make use of it.” Jack pushed as though this reasoning would make light of their suffering, every year of it, counting into their thousands.
It wasn't a new idea.

Summary
"What the fuck?" He asks out loud, confused and irritated. There is, of course, no answer. He stays in that room for a long time, sitting and pacing and swearing, before someone finally walks in. Jack turns to look at them but the words die on his tongue.
Oh, he thinks, this is so not fair.

He screams himself hoarse, no longer fighting the nurses, and they slide to the floor with him as his knees give out.
It’s silent except for the sound of a crying baby in the next room.
