    Summary

    The Hail Mary has been shot out into the depths of the infinite void of space to search for an answer that may not even be there. Aboard, the three crew members lay in stasis as the ship hurtles like an arrow towards a distant star, with no hope of return, but a desperate hope to make things right.

    At home, two brothers are left in sudden and violent grief. A woman grapples with whether or not she made the right decision. The world strains and suffers under the weight of the coming Fimbulwinter.

    And then one of the beetles returns.

    Thirteen years early.

    This fic took my heart, ripped it apart, put it back together, then stomped on it 20 times at the ripe hour of 3 in the morning

    Summary

    'Eat or Be Eaten'. A Human phrase, and one that does not translate over well for Cybertronians.
    How peculiar a species, that so closely resembles the other in shape and mannerisms, can exist with such different energy-processing systems.
    Humans are adaptable. Aggressively so. Disturbingly so. They claw with a need to endure for as long as their pitiful lifespan allows them. Cybertronians may have their slow pulsing Sparks, but a human soul is like a flickering flame.
    Undeniably, humans do an excellent job of scorching the world around them as they live. As they survive. As they burn, and burn, and burn.

    Summary

    I lived with this hunger long before the Hail Mary. This is nothing new. I’m fine.

    Right up until Rocky asks another question.

    “When last time you touch other human person skin, question?”

    Oh. Oh no. “When I… a few days after I first woke up here.”

    Rocky starts to relax for a split second, but then tightens when something occurs to him.

    “Grace crewmates dead when you wake up. You said this, statement. You not even know your own name, remember nothing, see dead bodies, confirm?”

    I nod, because if I open my mouth I will gag.

    “When last time Grace touch ALIVE human person, question.”

    I swallow thickly. I don’t answer aloud because I know Rocky can hear the hitch in my breath. My stomach churns with fresh bile. He senses my vital signs tick over into stress patterns and goes very, very still again.

    “Grace. When last time, question.”

    I clench my jaw so hard my temples ache, and beg him with my eyes to just stop.

    “Grace. Please say not when… when Evil Stratt humans put you to sleep.”

    I can taste grass.

    AKA: Grace starves for more than just food on the journey to Erid.
