this is an extremely well written story, builds a realistic world post-Earth, looks at different cultures interacting, broaches how people evolve over time, brings all these elements together into a coherent whole as Rodney progresses through life after spoiler deleted and the ending is both perfect and awful and I have sobbed, practically, throughout the whole thing.

the body holographic by Leah and Springwoof
but make sure that you've got tissues
