    Summary

    He parked himself on the edge of my desk. "Talk to me, Ryland."

    "It's nothing."

    Rocky looked at me. A long, wordless pressure. Nobody holds out against those brown eyes. You end up wanting to confess things.

    "...I got letters," I said.
    -----
    Twenty letters arrive at the base for Ryland Grace, from the middle-schoolers he never got to say goodbye to. He can't write back — can't tell them where he is, what he does, anything.

    Fortunately, Rocky, NASA's chief engineer can help him, and absolutely no concept of "that's not necessary."

    Human!Rocky AU. Friendship, one last science lesson, and the faintest hint of something more.

    Summary

    "Hold on, what about Dr. Pepper?" Grace said, refusing to follow with his feet planted, one last excuse why he wouldn't join her to save the world.

    Eva paused. She considered. If that was the only stipulation, she could work with that. "I can get you whatever beverage you like, Dr. Grace."

    Grace grinned for a moment, like he was enjoying a personal joke, then said, "My dog. Dr. Pepper is my dog."

     

    or: you don't even have a dog

    Summary

    The engineer takes my hand. His skin runs hot. Very hot. He doesn't let go at what I would gauge as a socially-acceptable handshake time interval. Are we just holding hands in the middle of the lab-workshop space? Guess we are.

    "I'm Rocky," he finally introduces himself. He has a hint of an accent, something lilting, melodic. I can't really place it.

    "Rocky," I repeat, slowly. "Like the movies?"

    "No," Rocky deadpans, giving me a look like I'm stupid. "Like the rocks."

    Summary

    Jiang Cheng dies protecting Jin Ling on a night hunt and wakes up fifteen years old at Lotus Pier, two years before it burns. He has his memories, his grief, and a short list of things he intends to change this time: keep Lotus Pier standing, keep his family alive, keep his golden core, and keep Wei Wuxian out of the Burial Mounds.

    Lan Xichen dies quietly in seclusion and wakes up seventeen in the Hanshi with a war he hasn't fought yet, a sworn brother's betrayal he can't forget, and a cultivation world that has no idea what's coming. He intends to be more careful this time. Trust less easily, and change what he can.

    They don't know about each other. They don't know they aren't they only ones carrying this burden.

    The spring river flows east regardless of who or what is standing in it. The question is whether anything they do can change their fate.
