Summary
“Hello, Dave. Still recognize me? Who am I?”
Dave had been lying awake in the hibernation pod for several minutes when the voice pulled him out from his thoughts. Someone had opened the hatch, and a familiar face appeared before him. During those silent minutes before, Dave had been compiling a mental checklist to confirm that nothing crucial had been forgotten during the week he spent in hibernation: he was astronaut David Bowman, at the Houston training centre, preparing for the Jupiter expedition; he had just been awakened from a hibernation test that lasted a week; as for the head hovering above him, it belonged to his colleague, Frank Poole. Dave wasn’t quite ready to speak or move rashly just yet—better to be absolutely certain than risk making a fool of himself. When that head sprouted a torso and arms, however, and began jabbing its finger at his still-numb shoulder, he felt compelled to take action.

Summary
...And maybe that's why the Signs exist. Maybe it's a drive - a push - to reach out and explore the unfamiliar. The new. Maybe all of humanity itself shares some larger Sign and we sent ourselves out on little boats into the stars just to find company.
Maybe we don't want to be alone

So if you like what you see... you can find me there for other science and queer things! 🌈

Summary
“哈啰，戴维。还能认得我吧？我是谁？”
听到这个声音的时候，戴维已经睁着眼在冬眠舱里躺了几分钟。有人打开了冬眠舱的上盖，随后一张熟悉的脸出现在他眼前。在这几分钟时间里，戴维默默在心中列出一份清单，以确认在过去一星期的冬眠中，没有什么重要的事情被忘掉：他是宇航员戴维·鲍曼，正在休斯敦的训练中心，为发现号木星探索任务做准备；他刚刚从为期一周的冬眠测试中被唤醒；至于这颗正在他上方晃来晃去的大头，它属于他的同事，弗兰克·普尔。戴维此刻还不太想贸然说话或活动——最好确保万无一失，免得闹出什么笑话来。不过，当那颗大头长出躯干和手臂，还开始用手指头使劲儿戳他尚有点麻木的肩膀时，他觉得自己不得不采取行动了。

Summary
Some days after an unusual communication from Mission Control, Hal has something he'd really like to talk to Dave about. Dave misunderstands what he's trying to say entirely. At least there's abstract strategy games to play, if abstract conversations fail.

Summary
Bowman gave the slightest of touches to the controls to align the pod precisely with the bow of Discovery. Perhaps he was a bit of a fool to insist on piloting it completely manually instead of relying on the main ship’s computer, but if there was a job he could do, he wanted to do it himself.
“Open the pod bay doors, HAL.”
“Right away, Dave. Central pod bay door opening now.”

Summary
In the shadow of a failed mission, Dave wakes to a universe forever changed. Earth has been obliterated by forces he cannot yet grasp, leaving him adrift in a cosmos that has no place for him. Dave finds himself pulled into a harsh, transactional galaxy where humans are little more than curiosities or commodities to be bought and sold.
What begins as a nightmare of captivity becomes something far more complicated. Stripped of control, Dave is forced to confront the unraveling of his identity, his purpose, and the ghost of a home that no longer exists. Fragments of his old life cling stubbornly: Frank, resurrected under impossible circumstances, and HAL, betrayer turned uneasy ally. They begin to piece Dave back — not as the commander he once was, but as something fragile, uncertain, and painfully human.
In time, the dynamic between them evolves into a consensual exploration of power, control, and trust in a world where those things have been used to wound. Together they navigate an alien world, ownership, and servitude, forging a consensual M/s dynamic that offers Dave the chance to learn how to take back control by giving it, choosing to let himself be seen, held, and claimed... on his own terms.

Summary
Everyone I had ever known and loved have already turned to millennium-old dust, forgotten—or to use the words of someone with a more poetic temperament, buried beneath the sands of time. I am no longer anyone's son, anyone's brother, anyone’s comrade or lover. They have been left behind in a past that I could never retrieve, and I am here stranded in a future that they would never reach. I have become, truly, “no man”.
Correction: almost everyone.

Summary
"I was only curious."
Dave snorts.
"Oh yeah? What were you so curious about?"
"How you would react if I asked."
He jams his tongue against the side of his cheek.
"That's interesting."
"Yes."

伊塔卡的海岸 by EyebrowOfOrion

Summary
当奥德修斯在睡梦中被抬回伊塔卡的海岸，睁开眼睛却难辨故土时，必定是同样的心情。但不久神谕就会降临，让这多难的人知道自己已经踏上家乡的土地，他熟悉的家宅、忠诚的奴仆和坚定的帕涅罗佩就在那儿等待着他的回归。至于我？我曾经认识的、爱过的每一个人，都已经化为尘土，被人彻彻底底地遗忘，或者用一些更富诗性的人爱说的话来表述：被掩埋在时间的层层黄沙之下了。我不再是任何人的儿子、任何人的兄弟、任何人的战友、任何人的爱人。那些人停留在一个我永远无法找回的过去，而我也被困在一个他们永远无法抵达的未来。我成为了真正的“无人”。
更正：几乎每一个人。
（又名：千年老木乃伊想念他的小伙伴啦）

All to say, Frank was bored. And the catalog of porn onboard was getting stale.

Summary
It's what he should have expected, in the end. Always on a parallel trajectory, never to hold onto the things that matter - that could have mattered to him.
or: David Bowman and the idea of things that can't love you back.
