    Summary

    Sierra Six had ruthlessly culled all of Court from himself, carefully paring away slices of the boy between missions and flinging them behind him to the depths of time, until all that was left was Fitzroy's asset. Could only be the weapon the CIA had invested so much in. But as Claire threw her arms around him in the safe house where Suzanne had stashed her, Six realised that he remembered exactly when he had last been held without the intent to harm.

    -

    Court Gentry is not used to being in control of his own life, much less someone else's. He doesn't suppose a change in situation is going to lessen the universe's interest in tossing him around like a ragdoll.

    He would be right.

    Summary

    Tom Ryder is many incredible things. He's a movie star, a multi-millionaire, he's swimming in drugs and booze, and all the love he could ever want. Or at least, that's what he thinks, until Colt brings his nerdy twin brother around.

    Tom Ryder doesn't do feelings. He doesn't do long-term. He doesn't care for romance.

    Why doesn't he believe that anymore?

    (OR: The long-term journey of self-improvement is hard, miserable, and draining, but it's a journey Tom is willing to take for love. He knows that's sappy. Somewhere in between home-brewed iced coffee and accidental overdoses, he stopped minding being a sap.)

    Summary

    “Let me ensure I understand correctly,” Yao counted slowly on his fingers.

    “Your oldest brother is an alcoholic private detective.”

    “Yeah.”

    “Your second brother killed your abusive father.”

    Grace nodded sleepily. “Self-defense mostly but yeah.”

    “Your third brother is in a committed relationship with a sex doll.”

    “Bianca is very nice

    Yao continued as though he had not heard that.

    “And your twin brother throws himself off buildings

    Grace thought about it. A very long exhausted pause. “…Yeah that about sums it up.”

    Silence again.

    Stratt looked at Yao.

    Yao looked at Stratt.

    The realization passed silently between them with horrifying clarity.

    So Grace—

    This exhausted, socially awkward, disaster of a scientist currently clinging to Eva Stratt like a drowning kitten—

    Was the normal one.

    God help them all.

    Stratt stared down at him for another second before one particular detail from earlier finally circled back around.

    “You slept with Tom Ryder.”

    Grace nodded against her shoulder.

    “Mmhm.”

    “The internationally famous actor.”

    “Yep.”

    “How?”

    Summary

    “Always think,” Rocky shifted his ball closer, bumping into Grace’s shoulder. Grace bumped it back, lips quirking up. “Think, think, think. Human brain never shut off. What Grace think about, question?”

    Grace went quiet for a moment and looked away. “Uh, my… ‘mate.’ Back on Earth. I remember I had one.”

    A series of happy little squeaks and chirps erupted from Rocky, his claws waving in frantic little jazz hands. He must have been excited to realize Grace had someone waiting for him back at home. Grace still didn't have the heart to tell him the truth, and likely never would. He shakes the thought away and focuses, eyes half-lidded and flickering back toward Rocky. The display pulled a genuine smile from Grace, though he wasn’t sure there was anything happy about the man back on Earth who grabbed him like a dog.
    ________________

    Alternatively, Grace has a flashback and subsequent revelations about himself and the person he was dating back on Earth. It affects him more than he thought it would.

    Summary

    Sometimes, Carl wonders if he’s a bad person.

    He soothes himself by saying that a bad person wouldn’t wonder if they’re bad; they’d just be bad. But he also knows that’s not a good enough excuse because self-awareness is a curse even bad people have. He thinks, maybe, he’s not a bad person, he’s just someone faced with bad options.

    He knows that Ryland Grace is a good person faced with no options.
