Press release from Gary Bettman, Director of NASA: At around 4:30 a.m., central standard time, our satellites detected a storm approaching the Ares 3 mission site on Mars. By 6:45 the storm had escalated to "severe", and we had no choice but to abort the mission. Thanks to the quick action of Commander McDavid, astronauts Tkachuk, Draisaitl, Matthews, and Barkov were all able to reach the Mars Ascent Vehicle and perform an emergency launch at 7:28 central time. Unfortunately, during the evacuation, Astronaut Mitch Marner was struck by debris and killed. Commander McDavid and the rest of his team were able to intercept safely with the Hermes and are now heading home... But Mitch Marner is dead.

SNIPPET TIME:

This is the first time Matthew's been here alone. He's been trying not to think about it. The way he's not even used to arriving before Leon, let alone sleeping alone. Usually, the house is already lit and warm when he gets here. Music fluttering towards him from the communal speakers dotted through every level, and he just has to follow the sound of movement until he finds his person. A fond hug waiting for him with open arms. Dinner not far behind it. His current reality is much different.

now would be such a good time to post a waifling chapter 4 snippet however i have decided against that. it's in progress, life's just been getting in the way !

anyway i've been really on my ghost bullshit again recently, so have a snippet from one of several ghost-related mattdrai wips i have. oopsie.

"Matthew, don't." But Matthew, of course, doesn't listen to his brother. Not when he's egging something on. And especially not when he's trying to impress the hot German dude in front of him. He looks Leon right in the eye as he continues. "If you can hear me," Matthew says into the ether, "Touch me." Everyone waits. Matthew, waiting to feel something. Everyone else, waiting for him to react. Leon barely moves the entire time. Just the smallest tilt of his head, the rest of him stock still. Eyes trained in Matthew's vicinity. After a long, long moment, Matthew tries again, "If there's somebody else here with us, touch me." He turns as his says it, and in his periphery he senses Leon moving this time. Matthew doesn't catch how though, as suddenly he senses something. Matthew screams in instinct, which makes Brady jump to his side immediately, "What? Matty, what? Are you OK?" "I think something just tickled me!" Brady's eyes widen at that, "Where!?" "Erm," Matthew jolts, "Fine. Fine. On the ass. Moving towards- never mind. Just. On my ass." Leon raises an eyebrow at them. That Matthew can see in its entirety. "Doesn't sound like it's malicious then, at least." And, well. Matthew can agree with that. Right now, at least.
