Summary
The laptop sat on the dinette table, lid up, screen angled away from the windows. I tapped the spacebar and the display woke: a dashboard, clean and minimal, four video feeds arranged in a grid. The upper left showed the exterior — the same parking lot I’d just walked through, captured by a pinhole camera hidden in the side mirror. The upper right showed the cab, empty. The lower two showed something else.
He drives cross-country in a converted Winnebago. The solar panels are always clean. The batteries stay charged. And the livestream never stops.
Thousands of viewers pay to watch. They pay more to participate. The girls come from all over. They apply. They sign the contract. They get in the RV. And they don't get out until he says so.
This week it's a girl he calls Savannah.
The highway stretches west, and the chat keeps scrolling.

Summary
When Grace gets seemingly teleported by means unknown into the SM-13 right as it was nearing The Light, both Simon and Grace have no idea what is happening. Grace knows he was supposed to be in his house on Erid, Simon knows this new guy cannot possibly be a hallucination, and Ava, upon hearing Grace ramble about theories for how he got there, knows that new guy is Smart. Could-Secure-Our-Survival Smart.
She orders Simon to bring Grace back to the surface, and thus begins Grace's ordeal in a starless universe.- Language:

Summary
Simon is determined not to become the monster the COI thought he was. Grace is determined to have a conversation, preferably in coherent sentences, and possibly involving sex.
Communication between these two humans is clearly going very well. (It isn't.)
--
(Trans!Grace; both these men need therapy but especially Simon; serious prison-related trauma; Grace is bad at reading people)

Summary
The flesh had a will of its own, and right now, it wanted this. Simon hated it for its weakness.
Forgive me, Father, for I have—
Grace took him in his mouth.
---
Simon would like to stop thinking about Ryland Grace. He would also like to stop waking up hard every morning, stop reliving what happened on the beach, and stop making terrible decisions--like storming into Grace's cabin and demanding he get on his knees.
None of those things are going particularly well.
(Trans!Grace; both these men need therapy but especially Simon)

Summary
“You should be grateful I just risked my life to save your ungrateful ass!”
“Oh, I’m so sorry,” Grace snapped. “What do you want, a medal for your heroic efforts? Should I get on my knees and thank you? ‘Oh my hero, please let me blow you as a reward’?”
“Would be nice.”
---
Simon sees Grace do something stupid, and it leads to an unexpected offer. Turns out being stuck in a biodome with this guy might be interesting. (Trans!Grace, but it doesn't really come up.)

Summary
“Designation?” the bounty hunter grinds out.
The answer slips easily out of his lips this time. “CC-2224.”
Boba Fett curses, harsh and quiet. His hands are shaking. “Kote?” he whispers, and his voice breaks on the word.
CC-2224 can hear screaming. The comms are silent, and the room is still, and no one else reacts to the noise. And yet… someone is screaming. He can hear it.
CC-2224 expected another routine stop at the Fortress Inquisitorius, staring unseeingly at identical grey walls while Vader tortured Jedi prisoners far below. He certainly didn’t think he'd be thrown back into his mind, back in time, and dragged along with five children determined to save the galaxy one Mandalorian at a time.

The chips do not ensure total compliance. The chips do not, in fact, ensure any degree of compliance.
The chips are possibly totally worthless, but Kamino is sure this will be fine. The clones are still trained to be obedient; why wouldn't they follow orders?

Years later, he has left everything behind, but when Cassius sees his brother’s name beside the name of their worst enemy, he realizes it’s time to stop running.
