Summary
If she wasn't using a gun, perhaps she was searching for one. The X Caliber was very important, after all. Even a skilled gunwoman would have trouble handling it without years of training.
But when he turned the corner to where he'd heard about the lead, he saw a shimmering on the floor. He knelt down. He thought it might be oil, maybe from a gun or a bike, but no. He knew that smell anywhere.
It was mercury.
He didn't even get a chance to stand before he stumbled back. He looked down the hallway and saw it trailing down the steel floors. He could hear the steady drip, drip, drip, growing fainter.
She was near.

An unexpected visitor looks for the G.R.A.I.L.

Summary
Gerry had known he was sick for a long time. He didn't know exactly what was wrong, but he knew he certainly wasn't healthy. He was rapidly losing weight, unable to keep down any food. He would be up for hours in the night, vomiting in their motel rooms across the globe. He would stumble and feel dizzy, usually claiming it was The Vast playing tricks whenever Gertrude noticed. His vision would double, which he claimed was The Eye. These lies worked for a good long while, until his seizure.
OR
The end of Gerard Keay.

It's the same man currently trying to kill him.
or, the Eridians find a man covered in blood and Grace hasn't been able to care for something in far too long.

Summary
"Bad. Stupid, very stupid." Grace can still hear Rocky's automated laptop-voice through the closed airlock door. "If Grace body poisoned by 'foreign contaminant', Grace die, contaminate spread and Rocky die—"
There's more blood smudged on the floors, the walls, leading up, up...Oh. There's a handprint. A handprint of blood. There's no way that could have happened without Grace realizing.
Rocky's still rambling on in the background: "—Adrian die, Stars-Erid-Earth die, all die because Grace is stupid."
Grace can hardly believe the conclusion he's about to draw. "I think someone's on the ship."
"Repeat words. I was narrating Grace-Rocky future."
"Rock, someone's on the ship."

An AU where Project Hail Mary and the Quiet Rapture both happen in the same universe, but at different times.

Summary
“Dazai, what the fuck is this?”
Brown eyes, still cloudy, peered up at him as if the words hadn’t even been comprehended in Dazai’s mind. His head cocked to the side in a silent question and Chuuya moved to push Dazai’s leg up a bit further, bringing it into the light so they could both see properly.
The near entirety of the skin was marred, of course, self-inflicted scars crisscrossing each other, old enough to have turned a faded white, but that wasn’t what he was focused on.
The issue lay in a series of fresh ones. They were scarily recent, probably only a few days old at best, and scabbed over. None looked bad enough to have needed stitches but they were pretty damn close.
Those hadn’t been there the last time they’d done this. In fact, nothing of the sort had been there any of the times they’d fucked since before Dazai left the Port Mafia.
…
In which Chuuya and Dazai have been having casual sex for years and all of that is fine until Dazai relapses for the first time since leaving the Port Mafia.

Summary
His living heart had hurt, and the new one felt strange: he could feel the clockwork and the gears in his chest where there had once been nothing but messily squeezing muscle, and at that first tickticktick he felt the sick swooping rightness of it so strongly that every moment on either side of it went white with euphoria.
Linear memory's overrated, anyway.

Summary
The world had moved on without Loki, and now all they had was each other. Sigyn would have laughed if she wasn’t sure it would turn into a sob. She leaned down to tuck Loki’s head under her chin.
“At least we have time, however much or little it may be.” Sigyn whispered into Loki’s hair, pressing a kiss against her hairline.
---
What happened in the space of sitting on that horrid metal altar and the train rolling into the station unmanned but for two warped skeletons? There probably was nothing but time.
(Missing scene between Ragnarök : End of the Line and Terminus from The Bifrost Incident album. I imagine having to sacrifice yourself and your wife just to give your planet more time to prepare for a threat they have no clue is coming probably isn't conducive for a healthy headspace.
