Expedition 63 Book 1: Dusk

John wanted to curl up in his spacious, in relative terms, quarters and pretend nothing else existed for a little while. The only way it could be better was if Jason would join him. No shenanigans, just sleep. After five years of curling around his lover, it was weird to have empty arms at night. What passed for night, anyway.


For all the talk of not hiding what they were to each other, Jason was still skittish to show his love for John when there was a chance one of the others might catch them. John got it. They had hidden this part of their lives for a long time and it would take a long time to be comfortable with their crew knowing about them.
