Meteoric - Chapter Five

Title (chapter): Meteoric (5)
Series: Terrahawks
Notes: In which the Terrahawks realise they might unfortunately now be racing Zelda to get to their missing zeroid first, Polly doesn't enjoy everyone's pick of television very much (but Doctor Who is fine) but DOES enjoy being invited to stay with his new 'family' if it all goes balls-up and he can't work out where he actually comes from, and Tark makes contact with someone who might know something.

( Talk about looking for a needle in a haystack. After being mildly irritated by Ninestein doing it, Hiro was frustrated to now find himself also pacing quietly up and down the flight deck. (He kept making a conscious effort to stop, and felt like that was probably more annoying than just pacing. At least there was no-one around to mind, right now.) He felt rather at a loose end. 17 and 43 were dutifully reporting to him every time someone found something, but they’d have already analysed it and compiled it into their datasets by that point and all he could usually do was say “thank you, good job, please carry on.” )

Updates:
04/12/2025 – What did I say, I am terrible at keeping these things updated (predominantly because it's s o h a r d to find the oomph for it when you're ~~talking into the dark~~ writing for a small fandom in an internet that just... consumes, these days? (i.e. you get no interactions, and suspect all your "readers" are just automatic harvesters shovelling your art into the slop machine to be ground up and recycled).) But I am still writing any uploading! Just mainly on tumblr/AO3 and not crossposting because let's face it there's only SO MANY hours in the day.

18/11/2024 – Chapter 5 of Meteoric! (Yes I am still working on it.).
10/11/2024 – added a reference to "Ghosts", and link to "Sundew".
21/10/2024 – chapter 2 of Kestrel Kestrel.
10/10/2024 – started posting Kestrel Kestrel.
05/10/2024 – posted! (I always have these great ideas for keeping things up to date in a central place but end up forgetting about them, so please take an ample portion of salt when interpreting all of this…)

Meteoric - Chapter Four

Title (chapter): Meteoric (4)
Series: Terrahawks
Notes: In which Polly is busy making an accidental mortal enemy, learning that his temporary new family sometimes ask highly inappropriate questions, and having... dancing lessons? Watching Silent Witness? (Oh god so gross.) Getting asked questions that leave him realising he has even less of a damn freaking clue what the hell he even is? (Was he running away? Is someone looking for him? Why are humans so slow? Should he really be taking time off to watch TV with his friend if he's meant to be finding his way home, isn't this just being lazy? What did that mean about the balls touching? And why does Tark have to be such a shithead.)

(But having all this undivided attention is 100% acceptable. Well apart from the bit that freaked him out. Maybe 95%?)

(I hope the Terrahawks realise that when they finally get Spacehawk’s command zeroid back, he is going to have picked up so many additional bad habits… (and that’s additional to the likely PTSD and everything else.)

(They’re handbrake turns, Hiro. It’s not dancing. Get with the program.)

( Most of her flatmates had already left, by the time Laine finally pinned her room door back, although she could hear Jaxon still rattling around next door - and Tark was doing something noisy in the kitchen with a coffee grinder. Laine felt a flash of annoyance; the guy was never there, especially not so early in the morning, so it was obvious he was only there for information on Polly (and she sorely doubted it was out of any actual CONCERN for the little bot). )
