You're sick. You recognise the symptoms from your crew, you have radiation poisoning. The astrophages that were protecting you and powering the ship are gone. You couldn't find the leak in time to stop it. And now you're dying out here in space, alone.

The life support systems on the ship are shutting down. Everything is shutting down. Your planet will die– your entire star system will die. They'll never know how close you came to saving them.

You think about Grace. Is his ship dying too? Or is he on his way home, none the wiser to your fate?

Maybe you're fighting until the end, or maybe you've 'made peace' with it.

And then you hear knocking, on the outside of your ship. Furious, desperate banging on the window. Your friend, your lab partner, your first contact, has come back to save you.

"come again?"

"i learn more from thinking machine. human gender preference. attraction to same gender, means word 'gay.' all eridian same gender." rocky stands straight up. "rocky come out to grace now. all rocky plural gay, statement."

"...wow, that's... rock, i'm not sure it makes much sense to apply human ideas of sexual orientation to a monogendered species."

a long and judgmental pause. then:

no the fuck he didn't!

if Iron Throne went with Andal inheritance, Jaehaera would have been the goddamn Queen Regnant, as the only surviving child of Aegon II.

Aegon III became the king because Cregan fucking Stark rolled up to King's Landing, found Aegon the Usurper recently poisoned by his own people, murdered all his remaining supporters and enthroned Aegon III as the son and heir of Queen Rhaenyra aka the ruler Cregan swore to support during the Dance.
