    Summary

    A beat thuds from the stereo, so heavy it rattles the coins in the well of the passenger door. The crease deepens in Vi’s cheek until the smile breaks through, and when they’re back on the highway with the wind thundering through the open windows, sun on her skin and her hair cutting across her vision so that Vi comes to her in flashes of white teeth and black glasses, in arms shifting to the sixth gear, her voice full and loose as she sings, Caitlyn stops herself from closing her eyes around the moment because she can already see herself years from now running her thumb over this one like a worn photo from a wallet and she doesn’t want to be there yet, in the future where all of this is behind her — she wants to be here, now and in it, in the possibility that it could go on forever. Like asphalt, like sun.

    Oklahoma, 1996. Vi's a storm chaser, and Caitlyn's just along for the ride.

    Summary

    “Houston, do you copy?”

    Caitlyn panicked, feeling extraordinarily unprepared having been thrust into her new position without so much as even a handbook to consult. What were the formalities? What was she supposed to respond with? Where was the damn push to talk button…

    “Hellooo? I said Houston, do you copy?”

    Caitlyn fiddled with her headset, having finally found the green button on the side and hastily letting out a rather breathless reply. “Um, yes. Hello? This is Houston. I copy.”

    There was a long pause in which Caitlyn sat twiddling her thumbs, anxiety pushing the frantic pulse of her heartbeat through her eardrums. Was that wrong? Did she already fuck up? She took a steady deep breath, finger hovering over the talk button until the familiar voice of the astronaut came through her headset once more.

    “Damn, Houston. I didn’t expect you to sound so sexy.”

    OR

    Caitlyn has been assigned as the personal capcom to one of the astronauts currently on a year long expedition at the international space station. Cue long months of pining and desperate longing.

    Summary

    It has been over 200 years since Nicholas D. Wolfwood died. The world has become a better place, people have progressed and the threat of humanity being annihilated by the hands of an extremist Plant cult is long gone like a certain someone always wanted it to be, that’s the kind of world Nicholas was born into again.

    With all of the memories of his past life in his system, he can’t help but notice that his weird neighbor from 311 in the new building he moved into, looks awfully similar to a clown he used to know once. His smile seemed all too familiar and Nicholas' new problem is reminding himself that his neighbor is not who he thinks he is. It seems like an easy task, since his neighbor appears to be weirder than he remembers the other guy to be, however Nicholas could have never predicted the amount of effort that simple task would need. His neighbor was not faring any better anyways, if anything he might be doing worse.
