Summary
You remember him the way he was when you met, the way you watched him grow up. Your teenage years weren’t beautiful the way they’re supposed to be. You were awkward in your own body, thick and clumsy and unsure. Wyll, however, was always graceful. His limbs lengthened, his voice deepened, and all of it seemed to happen so smoothly, at just the right time. He was pretty and he was perfect. Neat and tidy next to your messy tangle of string.
But you’ve knitted yourself together over the years, and he’s frayed a bit. Now you’re sitting on a beach together, making each other laugh. Feeling comfortable, impossibly so, even as your heart sits high in your throat. Feeling seen and understood. Feeling…a lot of things. Too many, more than you can identify.
You find yourself wondering how it feels to be kissed kindly, by someone who laughs at your jokes and knows things about your father and thinks you’re smart. By someone who’s thought about it before, for all that it may have been years ago.
…
Really, what’s the worst that could happen?

Summary
The heavy bass is making the oil-puddles shiver. Arthur leans against the wall, watching with a lazy eye as the puddles of filthy, iridescent water dance. Lines of neon jittering across their surface, pounding in time with the music, some garbage iridium synth track with too many drops that makes the whole alley vibrate, reverberating in his cyberware.
It sure as shit ain't good music, but the club is eating it up. Arthur supposes he should just be glad that he's not inside. He leans back, fitting his cigarette to his lips. A slow drag in, and then out.
Arthur holds his cigarette out - offering.
Eyes flick his way, glowing gold in the dark. His companion tilts his head, a silent refusal.

Summary
Probably none of the crew believes you about being from the Hope. The fact they stick with you anyways makes you nervous. No, that’s not quite right. You’re not nervous about Parvati. She’s really there for the Unreliable’s engine room. And Felix doesn’t make you nervous. He’s just a kid excited to be leaving Groundbreaker. Not Ellie either; she's sticking around for the bits.
It’s just Max who makes you nervous.
