    Summary

    “Doña Ana County started issuing marriage licenses,” Michael said. Alex could hear the strain in Michael’s voice, the force causal nature of it. “And so did Sante Fe and Bernalillo.”
    “You know, I hear that’s their job,” Alex replied with a smile. Even on the other side of the world, Alex found Michael’s ridiculousness charming. “If that’s all you wanted to tell me on our one phone call for the month…” Alex trailed off.
    “You know what I mean Alex, they’re issuing same-sex licenses. It’s not official, and fuck knows Chavez County won’t do it of their own volition, but it’s happening Alex.” Michael paused. Alex could hear Michael’s shaky breath over the long distance lines. “And when they make it official, I was hoping that we could too.”
    “Really Guerin? That’s the best proposal you could do?”

    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

    They are boarding now, as I stand some kind of guard before the door. The last of them climbs up into the vessel, and the counter that is consuming my mind ticks up. Eighty-seven. Eighty-nine.

    Then I hear something new. Not only new words, but a new tone, a new feeling in the feed. This message is only to me.

    «You got them out,» it says.

    And then, «Your work is acknowledged.»

    I want to cry. I want to rip something apart with my teeth – I want to scream loud enough to bring the habitat down. I want to cry. But I can't.

    So instead I tap it back in the feed. «Negative. Your work is acknowledged.»

    Summary

    I had been incredibly skeptical when Ratthi had sent me ‘Midnight Eclipse.’ I knew what fanfiction was, I had seen it in the more niche entertainment feeds before. Never specifically for Sanctuary Moon, but I'd assumed it existed. That didn't mean I had any actual interest in it, though. When I had first looked at them, I hadn't liked them. The quality varied too much and a lot of them weren't finished, or were really short, or really out of character. And I hated that. I really really hated that.

    This one was different.

    Summary


    He spends another twenty minutes staring at his phone before he musters up the courage to call Darla.

    It rings for several minutes. For a moment Bernard thinks he’s gonna get kicked to voicemail, which is exactly the kind of anticlimactic bullshit the universe would drop on him for being anxious about this.

    The phone picks up, a quiet out-of-breath noise in his ear.

    “Hey, dumbass,” Darla’s voice says. “You okay? Tim thinks you’ve been kidnapped.”

    It’s her voice. It’s young and smooth and tripping over the corners of words in the ways a gangly teenager does, and how did she ever sound this young?

    “Bernard?” Darla says, worried.

    Bernard hangs up.

    Post-Cult-of-Dionysus Bernard gets stuck in a time loop of the day Darla Aquista dies, which sucks just, royal balls.
