    Summary

    Eva Stratt liked outliers. She always had.

    So it was a bit of a disappointment to find that face to face Dr Ryland Grace was actually very milquetoast.

    Summary

    “Dr. Grace”

    I sighed, turning around as Stratt approached me from down the hall.

    “We must discuss your lodging.”

    My shoulders relaxed at the thought of sleep.

    “Yes, please. I really don’t need anything nice but I would love to shower and I definitely need to sleep. That’s really the main thing, I would love a bed if that’s-”

    “Yes, well, that is the issue.” Stratt cut me off, pinching the bridge of her nose. “We weren't expecting to bring another scientist onto the team and therefore do not have appropriate space to accommodate you. We are able to offer you a bed, but the solution is unfortunately unconventional.”

    “Unconventional?” I adjusted my glasses as I braced for whatever insane resolution she was about to propose. Sleep in a military jet? Move into a spare astrophage testing chamber?

    “You will be staying with me.” She stated flatly.

    Summary

    Syril wraps her in skinny arms and pulls her against his chest. The heat of his body seeps through the multiple layers of clothing they both wear. And he doesn’t smell like smoke. He smells… clean, a mix of soap and laundry detergent. She’s close enough that she can hear the beat of his heart alongside the thudding of her own. It’s fast but not too fast, and the illusion of safety allows her own heart to fall into a calmer pace. The softness of his embrace slowly begins to overwrite the feeling of hands clutching her legs. Even the blaster fire seems quieter now that he’s holding her. Perhaps she won’t die, after all.

    In the aftermath of the riot on Ferrix, Syril and Dedra create their best approximation of love.
