Summary
The day before Alex returns to Roswell, he has a nightmare that has him gasping awake, sweating and freezing and nearly rolling over the side of the bed as he dry heaves. It’s all disjointed, like most dreams are, aliens and Rosa and his father and Maria and Liz and hidden bunkers and then at the end an explosion and running and through it all there’s Michael, Michael, Michael.

Summary
This is my contribution to the 2021 RNM Fanfic Remix event. It was inspired by irolltwenties's lovely and atmospheric "No Time to Say." Specifically, this section:
"Alex Manes was a smart man. He spoke five languages and could dance around the typical levels of security on a server with ease. He could field strip a rifle, play the guitar, and keep his mouth shut. Alex Manes was a smart man, but the moment he understood he couldn’t have told anyone his name, let alone spoken aloud. Cosmic. Cosmic.
Alex Manes’ was a Marked man. He’d been tracing the gentle rolling pattern of lines and dots on the inside of his wrist for so long it seemed rote. He knew the exact curve it took, the geometry of the angles. He knew this mark and suddenly, with one word and the hope of his heart in his throat, he understood. His mark never moved because it was a static star map that could be traced back to the moment of the Event: the 1947 crash at Roswell. His mark didn’t move because his Match had been waiting for him."

Things are better if I stay // So long and goodnight by JoCarthage for SunTomato

Summary
Michael didn’t do it often. It’s dangerous for you and those above you, Sanders had told him on more than one late night when he’d caught him at it.
But some nights when the distance between Michael and the stars felt too infinite, he go out to the desert grey tarmac, find that one low dip he never seemed to get around to filling in with fresh asphalt when he was on shift, and lie down in it.
And he’d look up, and up, and up. Hacienda Sur Luna Airport wasn’t on most pilot’s itineraries but plenty of hobbyists flew over it on their way to Austin or San Diego.
This is what he’d do.

The Reason for the Seasonings (Love on the Holiday Turkey Hotline) by Castalia (castalianspring)

Summary
Alex is still not sure what possessed him to offer to cook Christmas dinner for his one decent brother and his best friend. Greg and Maria have only been dating for a short time, not much longer than Alex has been back home in Roswell, and it’s going well enough that Greg had wanted them all to celebrate the holiday together.
Of the three of them, Alex has the most living space so he’d quickly offered to play host—he doesn’t quite remember how that turned into offering to cook the main course while the others brought sides, but that’s exactly what he’d done.
He's regretting it now. This is what impulsivity gets him: an annoyingly still-frozen turkey, a fast approaching deadline, and the potentially ego-bruising prospect of calling a holiday turkey hotline for advice.
