    Summary

    A single father stranded with barely enough chits to stay afloat, desperate for a better future. And an escaped sleeper, fighting for survival each cycle and hungry for a life to call their own. While their origins differ, it doesn’t take long for fondness to blossom between Lem and Sleeper. But as they grow closer they must contend with the harsh reality of scratching out a future for oneself on an aging station spinning in cold, empty space.

    Not exactly the most well-equipped pair to take on the challenges the Eye has to offer, but Lem has hope. He knows they just have to hold out a little longer. Together. That’s how it works, right?

    (aka: Citizen Sleeper from Lem’s POV, with lots of additional scenes and romance mixed in)

    Summary

    It was the first day of school after the winter holidays. For many, it was the day of reunion with their friends and their social circles. But for one Taylor Hebert, this day will mark the worst day of her life.
    “Wait, what?”
    As today is the day she gets her superpowers after the most traumatic event of her life sets her story in the trajectory of violence and danger. Taylor Hebert becomes the protagonist of a gritty, angsty superhero web series.
    “Hold on. I didn’t sign up for that.”
    Taylor expresses her displeasure with the fate she was given. Would Taylor like to edit the summary page?
    “I can just do that?” She realizes that she can change the genre of her story to- “Romantic comedy. O-or, sm- fuck. Anything but gritty angst.”
    And so begins Taylor’s romantic escapades.
    “Wait, why are all of the pairings with girls?” She asks, ignorantly. “Hold on, wait a second. Why is Sophia fucking Hess there?!”
    And thus, the story begins.
    “WAIT! I DIDN’T SIGN UP FOR THIS!” Taylor protests at last, totally having signed up for this.

    Summary

    "Don't push your luck, Sleeper."

    "I'm not pushing it," you insist, holding Ethan's gaze as you take a small sip of strong liquor. It lights up the nerve endings in your mouth, sparkling, numbing. As it burns down your throat like a flare down a mineshaft, your eyes flutter briefly shut. When you open them again, the lights of the Kompressor are dazzling, and Ethan watches you with an unreadable expression.

    "... I'm savoring it."

    Or: a rather cynical Sleeper recognizes that Ethan's offer of "open custody" is actually quite generous, and deals with the man accordingly.

    Summary

    Today the cat has decided to grace you with its presence. You think about naming them but quickly decide against it. You have no name; you are simply Sleeper. The cat has no name either, simply Stray Cat. Or maybe Stray for short.

    In this way you are kindred souls.

    Summary

    "Name's Ethan," Ethan smirked, his tone dismissive. "Doesn't matter. What matters is you owe me."

    The Sleeper took a step back, eyes finding the exit right behind Ethan. "Owe you? For what?"

    "I took that Essen-Arp tracker out your neck. Put my own in. Pretty foolish falling unconscious in a bar, don't you think? Aren't you Sleeper types hunted down?"

    Summary

    The engineers are talking about the other Sleeper, the one who's free and roaming around on the Eye. What you wouldn't give to be them. If this works, you will be. At least for a little while.

    One Sleeper is tasked with scouting the situation on the Eye, and to accomplish that mission they must co-opt the frame of another Sleeper who's already there.

    Summary

    Tala is pretty good at reading expressions, body language, all the tiny difficult-to-pinpoint cues that tell you what someone's feeling. It's an important skill for running a bar. It helps you decide whether your patrons need a drink, a kind word, or a shove out the door. The Sleeper has been a tougher nut to crack, their face limited in its expressiveness, their body language muted and minimal.

    But that night, when the Sleeper slinks into the Bantayan, there's no doubt that they've been through the wringer.

    Summary

    “Welcome to the Founder’s Gap Ferry. Please remain seated with a belt at all times, and refrain from engaging in any deliberately disruptive behaviors. In the event of an emergency, the ferry will…”

    You tune out and wait for the automated voice to start talking about the time of arrival. Glancing over at Lem, you find he’s already looking at you- your eyes dart away just as quickly, face warm, but not before catching the small smile tugging at the corner of his mouth. You click your seatbelt into the lock and grip the arms of your seat, waiting.

    “We hope you enjoy your trip.”

    ______

    Lem and Mina join Sleeper on one of their regular visits to the Greenway. They find comfort in company, and share a recent secret.

    Summary

    After long and careful consideration, Moritz decides its about time he leaves the Eye. Mainly because he wants to explore something new, and also because he misses Bliss. And he wants to see what they're up to. Of course the chances of Moritz finding Bliss in the vastness of space are highly unlikely, but he ends up making a huge discovery.

    The entire story isn't just about Moritz. Although our boy does deserve it.

    Summary

    "Despite the wide range of people in her bar over the years -and a lot of unexpected situations- there wasn’t much that fazed her nowadays. But it was hard not to hear what people had to say about those who sold their lives away for nothing more than a promise, a promise corporations never meant to keep."

    Tala meets Sleeper for the first time.
