    “This is a bad idea,” I said, as we edged through security behind a knot of trustees in patriotic cufflinks. “Not because of the ghosts. Just, like—socially.”

    Summary

    Ryland Grace found the gun on the forty-third day.

    He’d been reorganizing the storage bay — not because it needed reorganizing, but because his hands needed something to do and his brain needed something small enough to manage — when his fingers closed around the case at the back of the cabinet. Compact. Heavier than it looked.

    He knew what it was before he opened it.

    Yao’s gun. Captain Yao, who had died in a coma before the Hail Mary reached Tau Ceti, along with Ilyukhina. Who had carried a gun on the mission for reasons Grace understood too well.

    Summary

    “Rocky, I’m here, okay? Come back to me, pal, please.”

    Of course I will, I think, drawn to that voice, that strange, wobbling voice, which I care about without knowing exactly why, and I should – it makes me angry, not knowing – I should know –

    Summary

    One thing that Rocky has learned about humans is that they like to look at pictures.

    Maybe. Or maybe it is just a particular habit of his Grace, who seems to pass more and more time sitting in the projection room and looking at his rolling images of Earth.

    Rocky likes Earth. Especially the beach. That’s Grace’s favorite place, too.

    But the pictures don’t change. Not more than they did the first time Grace showed him, with the waves crashing up onto the sand and the leaves of the trees rustling in the wind.

    ~~~

    Rocky's perspective of Grace's depression on the journey to Erid.

    Summary

    Grace is dying. He's been dying half this trip. There's no point in ignoring it, though he and Rocky try to anyway. One particularly bad day, he finds he can't shake the thought of Yao's gun, hidden away down in storage and calling to him.

    ---

    "There's a gun on the ship.
    A gun on the ship for one very specific reason. A reason that Grace has spent years running away from, but one that keeps chasing after him. "

    Summary

    Things have been good, lately.

    Trinity has been good. She likes going to work—likes the thrill of particularly difficult cases, likes the easy back-and-forth she’s starting to build with her coworkers, even likes arguing with Langdon. She likes her little apartment and she likes that she gets to share it with Dennis. (It’s way cleaner, now, and she eats real food half the time. And she has something to do in the evenings other than think about everything she’s lost).

    Things have been good.

    She should’ve fucking known what would happen if she let her guard down.

    ~~~

    Trinity is cornered on her way home from work. She gets out of it with a stab wound and a whole new wave of old trauma. (And of course, her least favorite coworker is the only one there to talk her down.)

    Summary

    Reminders, remainders. All that comes after. And, of course, the math.

    A nonlinear braid of trauma, memory, and healing. Dr. Gottlieb struggles to shed the war-forged identity that's holding him back; Dr. Geiszler kickflips (with difficulty) into glam-rock neuroscience; Dr. Lightcap is a ghost in the machine of the narrative; and Gottfried Leibniz gets his day.

    The sequel/prequel to Designations Congruent with Things, but readable on its own.

    Summary

    There are nights when no one dreams, or dreams are small and life-sized: espresso grounds and science books, the tenure track, or people; broken strings and shipwrecked boats, dishabille, or seagulls.

    A story of cognitive dissonance and emotional devotion. Drs. Geiszler and Gottlieb deal with the complexities of the post-drift psychological state in a fine-ass, mature blaze of physics puns, banter, poorly prepared meals, questionable wardrobe choices, and, of course, science.

    Summary

    Draco knows they aren't the only students who will be completing their NEWTs this year, but they are the only ones whose home fireplaces were disconnected from the floo network by the ministry.

    At least, Draco assumes as much until he sees the light falling out from the front door of one of the other rickety old houses in front of them and the three figures cast in its warm glow. For a moment they look like some sort of strange, many legged creature. An acromantula, or a particularly massive Blast-Ended Skrewt. Then Draco hears Pansy make a disgusted sound beside him and the light falls in a less blinding way, and Draco can see that it is actually Potter and the Weasel carrying a large couch between them, and Granger fluttering around them with her wand out, seeming concerned.

    Summary

    Lamb's heart sank. "You know who I am, Cartwright. River," he tried, not bothering to hide his desperation now. "Look at me. You know me." Nothing; only a vague sense of terror and a distorted reflection of Lamb in too-wide pupils. "Fucking hell, what did they do to you?"

    when river gets taken and tortured, lamb takes it upon himself to pick up the pieces.

    Summary

    “What are you doing here, Jack?”

    Leaning against the hood of Robby’s black sedan dressed in casual clothing and a pair of aviator sunglasses, Jack just smiles, wide and insincere in the way he gets when he's about to be a real asshole. “Going on a trip,” Jack says.

    “I don't think so.”

    “That's cute,” Jack says. “And denial’s not just a river in Egypt.”

    “I'm going on a trip. You're going home, or wherever it is you go after shift.”
