    Summary

    Indelible; Impossible to erase or forget.

    Doctor Captain Ryland Grace, Saviour of the sun, and thus the earth.

    Selfishly, she was both relieved and disappointed that he had chosen to save the friend he made in space, instead of return to his home.

    Some nights, she would wake in terror at the thought of having to face him after all these years, her mouth full of cotton and her head pounding. The same man that she had sent lightyears away, not a grey hair on his head.

    She had atoned for her crimes, she believed. She would atone for years to come, even after death, and the thought brought her a painful comfort, like a bruise she pressed on. The tattoo that marked her throat would make sure to remind her of her crimes, of her fate as an inevitable scapegoat.

    Yet, she did not think she could ever fully atone in the eyes of Ryland Grace. And she would not blame him. She tells herself she does not need his forgiveness.

    or; Eva Stratt watches the Hail Mary come home as a fugitive that has been 'shunned' from society.

    Summary

    Then there’s a pop and a whistle behind them, and the red light of a firework splashes across her face.

    He sees her eyes go wide, the white of her lower lip beneath her teeth, the short rise and fall of her chest.

    Her voice faint when she says, “I saw it on your face. The light.”

    “What?”

    “Just like that morning."

    Summary

    Grace and Stratt get stranded in San Francisco. Things spiral from there.

    --

    (“So we just wait here?” Stratt asked, curling her lip in disdain.
    “Well, I’m not up for driving eight hours to Los Angeles, where we might get a chance to catch a commercial flight,” Grace replied in a clipped tone. “But I don’t want to stay here either. Let’s go to my flat.”
    Stratt stared at him.
    “What?”
    “My flat, Stratt,” he replied impatiently. “Listen, our choice is to stay here, sit on the floor and catch so many different strains of bacteria that Lamai will make us the subject of her third PhD, or we can go to my flat, shower like humans and get some sleep. I’ll let you take the bed. Do you seriously see a third option?”)

    Summary

    His body feels odd this morning, but he hasn’t shared a bed with anyone since Linda left him. He’s not used to the weight of a body next to his anymore, to the heat pouring off another person. For someone whose hands are always cold, Eva is radiating heat against his back, almost uncomfortable.

    He turns over to shake Eva awake.

    Right into his own sleeping face.

    Summary

    “Do you think I don’t know you, Grace? You’re not humble. You’re a coward.”

    “Fine! I’m afraid! I don’t want to die!”

    She laughs, a sharp bark devoid of humor. “Stay on Earth, then, Ryland Grace, and watch your children die slowly over the next thirty years. Look them in the eyes as the world freezes over, knowing that you refused the chance to save them.”

    Something long-tethered within him snaps.

    ---

    Grace is refusing the call; Stratt ragebaits him about it.
