Prologue & Ch1:
Honestly, he’d really been expecting this to go a lot less smoothly. Ch2:
“I love it when you wear my clothes,” Kris rumbled in his ear. “How’s my baby today?” Ch3:
"Jongin, what the fuck? Get the lights back on." Ch4:
“Hi,” Chanyeol said, a little dumbly. What the hell did he do about this? Ch5:
Despite his invitation, it was a few more cycles before Chanyeol saw him again. Ch6:
Two years aboard the Phoenix had trained Sehun into the habit of immediately checking the lighting whenever he awoke. Ch7:
Luhan had almost been caught too many times to take chances. Ch8:
“Really push him, I want to see what he’s capable of.” Ch9:
Tao’s eyes seemed to look right into his mind, like he could read every thought in Sehun’s head. Ch10:
“It’s called Red Rock,” Jongdae replied, “and it’s a rock, in space, which is red.” Ch11:
If Sehun and Tao were parts in a machine, Kris and Chanyeol were two halves of the same part. Ch12:
Kris was not nearly as subtle as he liked to think he was. Ch13:
When Sehun awoke, he immediately became aware that he was much, much warmer than usual. Ch14:
Pounding on the door made Kris startle awake. Ch15:
Kyungsoo was staring up at the sky, and how it went up and up and up and it just didn’t end. Ch16:
Why did everything have to smell so wrong? Ch17:
It was a long time before Kris managed to drift off again. Ch18:
“I don’t care what Kris says, if we don’t answer, come save our asses, okay?” Ch19:
"So what do you think are the chances that this is a legitimate home?" Minseok asked, tightening the strap of his leather gloves. Ch20:
"Nah, that can wait. Keep calling it The Thing. Has a nice ring to it. Mysterious." Ch21:
What was Tao going to do now, if he couldn't see Sehun anymore? Ch22:
“I'm a person. I want things. Why can't I decide things for myself?" Ch23:
The contacts worked exactly as expected, which was surprising, and kind of really strange to experience, actually. Ch24:
Jongdae had assumed, for obvious reasons, that Yixing was exaggerating about teaching himself quantum physics. Ch25:
“Dr. Stick-In-The-Mud is a tiger in the sack. ‘Repression’ doesn’t even begin to describe.” Ch26:
Jongdae walked into EunHae’s Engine Emporium, sweeping his gaze across the room and trying not to look shifty while he did it. Ch27:
A stowaway. Right. They had the most precious cargo in the system, and just happened to pick up a stowaway. Ch28:
“We need an infirmary cart,” Kris snapped over the comm. “Who’s closest?” Ch29:
“You’re in love with him.” It was a statement, not a question. Ch30:
They were flying right into a trap, and no one but Kris knew it. Ch31:
There was something furiously satisfying about punching Kris right in the jaw. Ch32:
Tao realized that he wanted nothing more in the universe than to stay with Sehun forever. Ch33:
Everyone on the ship held their breath as they came out of relay. Ch34:
“As of thirty minutes ago, he was alive enough to scream,” Luhan elaborated. “He’s silent now.” Ch35 & Epilogue:
“I’ll always come for you.” Side story/sequel:
