Summary
Ed is an engineer aboard the Revenge, an interplanetary research vessel on a multi-year mission to study Jupiter's moon Europa. An accident requires that Ed awaken from cryostasis over six months early, and finds his only companion to be Stede, the ship's onboard AI. They develop an unconventional friendship, but is it possible to have more?
This is classic mutual pining with a sci-fi twist, inspired by all of my favorite stories about the nature of personhood.
-----
“You–” Ed was struggling to parse what Stede was saying. “You’re playing your version of this song for me, right now? Like, in real time?”“Yes, Edward, that’s correct,” said Stede softly.
Ed’s brain momentarily seized up. He supposed it made sense that Stede was capable of learning a set of rules to do something like arrange and play a piece of music. There was something unnerving about this song, though. It felt, well–it felt organic . Reactive. Almost collaborative in a way. Ed was lost in the push and pull of it, until the last notes softly petered out.
“So, what did you think?” asked Stede. It sounded nervous again. Why the hell would someone program an anxiety response into a bot?

The compromised wormhole was ripping apart at the seams, sending everyone spiraling away in completely different directions. Lance could feel himself being pulled and bent in ways he was definitely not supposed to be.

Summary
It's a treacherous trek to the shore, and each trip is usually packed with enough near scrapes and death-defying feats of heroism to fuel Jake's storytelling with his friends for a week, if not more—which is why he rarely does it.

Summary
Maybe in another life you'd say, This is boring, Dirk. Maybe you'd say, You've been at it for hours, give the old computer a rest and let's go on an adventure? Do say yes. But right now you can't think of anything you'd rather do than feel your skin stick to the cherry floorboards and breathe in his cologne.
(or, a modern AU where Dirk is an electrical engineer and Jake is an archaeology student, though none of that is readily apparent here.)

Summary
Once there was a prompt on the kinkmeme for a single father Dave fic and someone started filling it and then someone else filled it and they were both really good, but I liked the concept going in the uncompleted one and kind of wanted to go for something similar, but I wanted single father John instead because blah. Anyway yes that's what it is, other characters may enter.
