    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.

    Summary

    Simon died. He felt it, something ripping him open from the inside and tearing his body apart. There’s no coming back from that end and yet, here he is.

    All other options exhausted, he’s left with his first instinct: The Divine.

    Simon was never much of a believer. Faith was manipulation and in Simon's hands became a tool. In spite of that, some of that old thinking had been awakened by all he witnessed in the Light. Something much bigger than him, to what Simon is little more than a speck of dust and barely perceivable, had looked straight at Simon and seen him, known him, said his name.

    Maybe seeing Simon sacrificing himself for the good of the many had earned him one last chance at life. Not enough to balance the scales of the afterlife but enough to be saved for now.

    Or maybe it could not give less of a shit what Simon is and what he’s done, and was just curious to see what a dead man would do if left alive.

    Either way, Simon lives.

    Fuck.

    --

    Simon dies and lives again. (And finds something to be brave for in the process.)

    Summary

    The thing Gandalf neglected to mention when he assured Thorin Oakenshield and Company that Bilbo Baggins of Bag End would be the perfect thief for their mission was this:

    A Hobbit wouldn't be able to tell a diamond from a pearl, or from an Arkenstone - no matter how hard they try.

    This leads to some confusion, on Bilbos part. And some frustration, again on Bilbos part.

     

    (What sort of a description was 'heart of the mountain', anyway? A useless one, that's what.)

    Summary

    Gabriel let out an ugly bark of laughter and abruptly looked away, his hand rubbing against the front of his helm.

    “Machine,” he said in wry, twisted amusement, “you are far more likely to grow a soul. When a day comes that an object such as yourself possesses such a thing, will be the day an angel can live without Father’s light.”

    V1 knew a challenge when it heard one. It also knew it excelled at winning them.

    or;

    In Gabriel's final hours, he and V1 make a bet.
