Summary
Ever since Laine decided he’d be the one to personally inject your stabilizer you’ve tried your best to draw out the time between your doses longer and longer. Of course, the inevitable decay of your frame meant you unfortunately will always find yourself back at this door just as you do now.

Summary
Kadet wipes her brow and scans the workshop, admiring the fruits of her labor: surfaces previously caked in dust now primed and painted, freshly reinforced shelving units adorned with new wall nettings to secure packages with, and—maybe most important of all—the underside of a newly installed Murphy-style bunk to pull down and fall into at the end of the day.

Summary
Drifting is usually a terrifying thing for a sleeper such as yourself. For as long as you can remember you have spent every morning in a desperate attempt to tether yourself to consciousness, drifting away from your frame.
The reboot feels a lot more like sleeping, rather than drifting. Turning Serafin's coin in your hand, as the sensations slip away, you don't think. You just sleep.
As your worn, weary, and inexplicably exhausted mind struggles to reclaim your manmade body, cycle after cycle after cycle, you slowly begin to feel again. You feel a pinprick against your synthetic skin, and the grip of a tender hand. A voice. Words.
...
Components move. Fluid flows. The rush of a million different protocols and thoughts start to rise and fall like they always have.
It's time to wake up.

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)
