Summary
When that twin yawns, tiny face crinkling up and briefly swallowed by how big the yawn is for such a little creature, Holland huffs, his chest tightening like a squeezed toothpaste tube. “Can’t even fucking believe it.”
“Incredulous,” Jackson says. Holland makes an inquisitive sound, still watching their child like a fish in an aquarium. “Means ‘unable to believe something very surprising or shocking.’”
“I mean, I wouldn’t say I really find it shocking,” Holland protests. “I make cute kids, you seen my fucking kids?”
“I’ve seen them.”
“The best,” Holland insists as the younger twin finally closes his eyes all the way again. “Yes. There you go, kid. Good job. Not so hard, was it?”
or: holland remembers the twins' first day.

Summary
“Grace not focused on work again,” Rocky points out from across our workspace. I just barely stop myself from throwing the microscope my hands are white-knuckle gripping. “Why Grace always distracted now, question?”
Because you won’t touch me, I want to answer, even though I know I can’t. Because I’m so lonely even though I’m not even really alone. And I feel so absurdly bad about it. Please touch me, please, please, please—
or: ryland grace is starving for touch. it's making him a little bit irritable. rocky is no better off.

Summary
To Eva, Court asks, “Is there anything else you wanted to tell us?”
Eva meets him head-on. “Ryland was a good man. He will be in good company on the Hail Mary.” There’s an impossible weight to her voice when she adds, “Thank you for him. You should be proud.”
Colt tightens his grip on Holly’s hand, pushes his face into her shoulder. He has no idea what to say to that; it doesn’t sound like anybody does, the silence ringing around them as the words linger so heavily, he thinks he could choke.
or: colt and the rest of ryland's family come together, mourn ryland, and meet with eva stratt to hear about ryland's mission on the hail mary and his last days on earth.

Summary
“What’s he saying?” Holland asks in the distance.
“He said to turn the TV on,” Jackson tells him, voice a little further, holding the phone away from himself. He sounds close again when he asks Colt, “Why?”
“What channel?” Holland asks.
“What chan—” Jackson starts to relay, before he cuts himself off. “What? Holland, what—”
Colt’s Dad says something indistinguishable, too far away for him to hear. Moments of silence follow where Colt knows they’re watching the same thing he is, seeing his brother’s face— their son’s face— Ryland’s face framed on the television, just above the words Hail Mary, and save our sun, and suicide mission.
or: ryland has been missing for a couple of weeks when colt sees the hail mary launch on tv. the first thing he thinks to do is call his family.

Summary
The next picture in the stack was clearly taken immediately after the previous photograph; Colt and Ryland are still pressed to each other’s sides, only now, Holly’s smushed in beside them, the camera extended in one of her arms as she takes a closer-up picture of all three of them grinning away. “Shit. This one’s cute.”
Holland starts laughing again, but he doesn’t have the time to actively tease him before he’s tilting his head up and seeing the photograph for himself. Instead of getting smart with Jackson, he just rolls up a little closer for a better vantage point on the picture. His whole face crinkles up with a smile when he finally sees.
It’s slightly out of focus, a bit blurry, but Jackson thinks it’s his favorite photo yet.
or: jackson and holland wind down together after ryland and colt's ninth birthday party.

Summary
Eva feels like the breath is knocked out of her lungs when the man walks in.
Dirty blond hair. Blue eyes. Sort of like… if Ryland Grace was hit by a car several times. It was undeniably him.
“So you’re Eva Stratt,” The man says gruffly, slamming both hands on her desk. He looked exactly like Ryland, it was terrifying. It felt like watching a ghost haunt her in real life.
“You’re the crazy woman that sent my baby brother up into space. Let’s talk, yeah?”
or
Colt Seavers finds out his twin brother was sent on a suicide mission. He does not take it well.

Summary
Trent Crimm might only recently be an independent journalist, but he's had no one to rely on but himself for far, far longer. And most days, it feels like he's barely keeping it together. So it only seems fitting that the conclusion to the worst period of his life is for the whole thing to go up in literal flames.
Luckily for Trent, help comes from a (not so) unexpected source.

Summary
“Sorry, what exactly is it you’re doing with Trent?”
“We are having ourselves a party.” Ted holds onto his backpack straps and hopes that answer is good enough, which of course it’s not. Rebecca’s office is where gossip goes to die, resuscitate, and die again.
“Of course, but when two unmarried men, one of them openly gay, decide to throw a party together for no reason, it does lead people to wonder if there’s an announcement around the corner.”
--
A lonely, lovesick Ted decides to throw a party.
