    Summary

    Lawrence is considering the benefits of leaving the room to go throw up somewhere when Vincent finally speaks.

    “I wouldn’t call it a crush,” he says, his voice even and calm, brown eyes sparkling.

    Lawrence nods, slightly hysterical. “You wouldn’t?” He asks hopefully. Good, okay. Vincent agrees. All that’s here is friendship. Simple, easy, proper. Appropriate. Friendship.

    “No.” Vincent shakes his head and sets his teacup down. “I would say that I am in love with you.”

    Summary

    “Sydney? Oh my God—Are you okay?”

    Of course this would happen to her. It couldn’t be Tina, or Nat, or even Richie, it has to be—

    “Hey, Claire, yeah, no, yeah, I’m good. Just, uh, the stress.”

    Claire finds Sydney in the back after the fiasco of Friends & Family. At least she offers her vape.

    Summary

    In the shadow of a failed mission, Dave wakes to a universe forever changed. Earth has been obliterated by forces he cannot yet grasp, leaving him adrift in a cosmos that has no place for him. Dave finds himself pulled into a harsh, transactional galaxy where humans are little more than curiosities or commodities to be bought and sold.

    What begins as a nightmare of captivity becomes something far more complicated. Stripped of control, Dave is forced to confront the unraveling of his identity, his purpose, and the ghost of a home that no longer exists. Fragments of his old life cling stubbornly: Frank, resurrected under impossible circumstances, and HAL, betrayer turned uneasy ally. They begin to piece Dave back — not as the commander he once was, but as something fragile, uncertain, and painfully human.

    In time, the dynamic between them evolves into a consensual exploration of power, control, and trust in a world where those things have been used to wound. Together they navigate an alien world, ownership, and servitude, forging a consensual M/s dynamic that offers Dave the chance to learn how to take back control by giving it, choosing to let himself be seen, held, and claimed... on his own terms.
