Not knowing what will
by jadelennox
Curiosity worried whenever Opportunity talked about things like "drifting sand" because hello, elephant in the room, Spirit, buried at Troy with jarosite covering her solar panels. And she wanted Opportunity to talk about Spirit -- it was weird having a sister you had never known, and she wanted to hear everything about her -- but Opportunity was weird. Mentioning Spirit would make her stop talking for days at a time, or sing, randomly, down the radio link, strange little songs Curiosity had never heard before. Strange little songs that didn't sound like they were written by humans at all.

Over the years, I've felt their surprise as I still send things back to them. Each time I'm still here on the other end of the line.

Right Here Next to You
by jadelennox
Charon comes to a cozy 19,000 kilometers away and holds Pluto as close as zie can. "I love you, dearheart," zie says, and Pluto wishes it were as easy for zie to say it back. "Everyone looks so small compared to you. I'll always orbit around you."

Opportunity Of A Life

Opportunity knew something was wrong. Terribly, terribly wrong.

To the makers of music
by jadelennox
You'd like to think the magnetic highway is the open road: a '67 Camaro with the top down, Quadrophenia blasting from the speakers, wind in your hair, a gorgeous girl in the passenger seat. But there's no Camaro out here seventeen light-hours from the nearest Exxon station. There's some fucking exciting magnetic particles, no lie, flavored like supernova. But the solar wind's died down and you can't hear Pete Townshend's voice in hard vacuum.

Polluxs Castor
by finch (afinch)
Spirit and Opportunity go to Mars, and baby sister Curiosity changes everything. Not everything. Some things. Most things. There are some things that never change. Opportunity's jealousy of his sister for one, and Spirit's indomitable … spirit despite her hardships.

Our Work Has Just Begun
by Snow
"These beings, with soaring imagination, eventually flung themselves and their machines, into interplanetary space." So says Carolyn Porco. With Voyager 1 and 2, we are about to fling our machines into interstellar space. We are nothing but a pale blue dot, a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam - and the Voyagers just keep showing us how tiny we really are.

Escapist
by Snow
T+36 years and 125 days. Voyager 2 drifts in space, even as her body only moves in one direction, grateful that she still has a working chronometer, grateful that a sense of time is as necessary to the instrumentation as it is to Voyager's own sense of self.
