    Summary

    ‘Through the cotton that’s surely stuffed in his ears, he thinks he hears something. Music? It doesn’t sound like typical music, yet something about it makes him feel as though it’s trying to claw through the deep fog enveloping his brain. Something… familiar.

    But he just can’t be bothered to dwell on it. Given the sheer fatigue trying to smother him, he’s surprised he even has the strength to breathe.’

    Or: Grace struggles with starvation. In his brief bouts of clarity, he notices that he isn’t alone.

    Summary

    “Eva Stratt, you are under arrest.”

    She wonders what they’ll charge her with as they place the handcuffs around her wrists. Environmental destruction, certainly. Extortion and racketeering? Probably. Someone could make the case for smuggling—it would be interesting if they got her on piracy. She turns to give her final good-byes, and her heart stops.

    “Ryland Grace, you are under arrest.”

    OR

    Eva Stratt was prepared to be the world's scapegoat. She'd angered too many people and skirted too many rules not to be. She didn't expect Ryland Grace to get arrested right alongside her.

    Life has a funny way of giving Grace everything he's ever wanted.

    (Or, in which Grace adjusts to his new life on Erid. Rocky, as always, just wants to help.)

    Summary

    “Ryland,” he begged as Ryland took a step away from him. Colt sat up, drawing his knees close to his chest and resting his head on top of them. “I got off the plane,” he recounted. “Jody, Dan, and I went to get coffee and- and I looked up at the TV and they-” he looked up, barely able to make out Ryland’s silhouette in the mess of tears welling up in his eyes- “they said you died, Ryland.”

    He nodded. “I did.”

    “Why’d you have to die?”

    “I don’t know.”

    No one prepares you to lose your twin brother. No one prepares you to lose all you had left. But can you trust people who aren't obligated by blood to be there for you? Can you even trust the ones that are?

    Up is down and down is up and Ryland Grace is not supposed to be here. Something has been wrong since the beginning. Something has been wrong since before the beginning.

    (Or: Grace wakes up on the Hail Mary with dirt underneath his fingernails. What happens next may or may not be a haunting, depending on perspective.)

    Summary

    “If you could be any astronomical object, what kind of astronomical object would you be and why?”
    Rocky cannot be astronomical object. Rocky can only be Eridian.
    “Humor me, pal, I’m dying of boredom over here.”

    Summary

    “So, I was thinking about why I’ve been throwing up. I think some of it is the actual, physical properties of the taumoeba, but I honestly think half the battle is the taste. See, humans use smell and taste to tell us if food is going to make us sick, like it’s moldy or smells weird, that sends a signal for disgust to our brains to stop us from eating it, and that triggers nausea.”

    “I feel this way about all human food,” I say, and Grace rolls its eyes.

    “Sure. But I think my brain is being overprotective about the taumoeba. It’s the same reason why human kids get picky or people throw up during pregnancy, even when the food they’re eating is perfectly edible. My brain is signalling to me that I shouldn’t want it in my body, mostly because -- well, I don’t. It smells like mildew and algae and has the texture of chia seed pudding that was forgotten at the back of a fridge. But that’s making me nauseous when I even think about putting it in my mouth, which makes me more likely to throw up.”

    “But how would you eat without using your mouth?” I ask.

    Grace grins at me. “That, my friend, is exactly the question I’ve been asking myself. And I think the answer might be something called a nasogastric tube."

    Summary

    It should have been a perfectly safe stunt, they'd done it four times already, but something had gone wrong. So wrong, and now Jody was sitting in a hospital waiting room, waiting for an update, for some evidence that Colt was going to be ok. Waiting for Colt's twin to answer her phone calls, he always came to check in on his brother if a stunt went wrong, always.

    So why wasn't he answering...

    Summary

    Flying back to Cherry Street, weaving reckless in the dark, it comes down to this: Dick is the only one of his siblings that Jason has any real claim on. Dick is the only one of that whole mess of victims to Batman's cult of self-immolation who belongs to Jason. Even more than that - Dick is the only person in the world who he shares a parent with, who knows what it meant to be the Robin to Batman of nearly ten years ago.

    It's just not the same anymore.

    So if Dick fucking kicks it, Jason's the only one left. Jason becomes an only child. Jason becomes the last of his kind. Jason becomes the sole keeper of that memory, of a brotherhood shared under a man who no longer exists. There is no way to replace Dick, because the world that they lived in together is gone, and can never give Jason a surrogate.

    The Red Hood pulls the thread on a mystery big enough to bridge the distance between two cities, two brothers: The plot they unravel is far deeper and darker than a garden-variety drug trafficking scheme. A story about siblingship, hauntings, and rivers.

    1. Ostium, osti(i): Latin noun, II Declension: Door, opening; (river) mouth; entrance (to the underworld).

    Summary

    "My 100th earth birthday—my age if I’d never experienced time dilation—is coming up in a few months and Rocky is very excited about it. It’s touching how special he wants to make this human milestone for me and I wish I could be excited with him. Instead, I’m sitting with the knowledge that this is probably my last birthday…and I have no idea how to tell Rocky."

    Grace and Rocky discuss Grace's mortality as his 100th earth birthday approaches.

    Summary

    Something was standing above his towel.

    No… someone.

    They seemed to be observing the towel, claws tapping against the material with what he took as curiosity, pinching it between the appendage.

    Was it Rocky? It’d make sense, the Eridian would certainly have something harsh to say about him leaving his stuff laying around. He always had some mean quip to insult his shoddy human memory.

    He opened his mouth to defend himself before Rocky could say something snappy, when the figure then moved, stocky legs rising from beneath their carapace and lifting them to their full standing height.

    They were tall. Too tall.

    That wasn’t Rocky.
