HIVE short story yipeeeee :D

NOT CANON STORY BTW‼️‼️‼️

HIVE belongs to @braisedhoney, I recommend checking out Captain's acc and also @talesaboardthehive to see canon lore

This story contains some headcanons and there are also ideas from @beartitled about the HIVE (bumblebee dogs, honey pipes, etc.)

And also it is mainly from my hivesona's pov

Anyway have fun reading it :D I'm not sorry for possible grammar mistakes /silly

Late Night Walk

The HIVE was never silent.

During the day you can hear crew talking in the many halls of the ship. Conversations, jokes, laughter, arguments, cries, you name it, you hear it. Sometimes even in the vents when someone went up there, usually followed by startled yelps as they were caught by COLONY.

There are some calmer places to rest when someone is tired or needs to focus on something, you can rest in spots like the honeycomb nap rooms, or the library.

In the morning and evening it is a bit quieter, but not that much, the sound of crew waking up, finishing their duties, or preparing to go sleep can be heard. Its not that loud as it is during the day though.

In the night, most people would expect you could hear a needle fall because of how quiet it would be, but that wasn't true.

The HIVE was never silent.

Late at night you could hear the soft humming of the ship, or the buzzing of many of the mechanics on the ship, or if you pause around one of the many honey pipes you can hear bubbling. And throughout the night you can hear different sounds, like a door opening and sleepy footsteps, or rarely; the bark of one of the bumblebee puppies.

In its own way, it was interesting to listen to all of the sounds. It was calming and it was a way to keep themselves busy when Sol wasn't able to fall asleep like right now.

They listened to the humming, with a bit of imagination you could hear a rhythm in the humming. Kind of like a heartbeat, but that probably wasn't true. The ship didn't have a heart did it?

Along with the soft humming they listened to the quiet buzzing of their lamp on the table. They could've turned on their radio to listen to whatever channel would be able available, but they didn't feel like listening to a radio.

To be honest, they didn't feel like doing anything. They weren't able to fall asleep for the past 30 or so minutes and they have given up on trying to sleep.

Sigh.

They might aswell get up and go for a quick walk. That could help them fall asleep later.

Yea. They could grab something warm like milk with honey to help them sleep....or coffee with honey and work on the armours-

Either way, taking a walk won't hurt.

After a moment they stepped out of their sleeping quarters and looked around. The lights were dimmed and there wasn't anyone in the hallway. It was quiet.

With a sigh they let the door behind them close and locked the door with a keycard, then they started walking to one of the kitchens nearby.

It didn't take them as long as it usually did. Only one door which was surprising, but not like they minded. It was nice not to get lost for once.

After walking into the kitchen, Sol quickly looked through the snacks cabinets and didn't find anything they would like to munch on. Their

Hmmm.

They weren't feeling like eating anything right now.

Might aswell take a walk while they're out.

Upon hearing footsteps getting closer to the kitchen they quickly got out of the kitchen and disappeared in the nearest door. It led them into a hallway. Oo this one has green walls. That's not something you would commonly see on the honey themed ship.

The hallway changed directions few times and they had to go through multiple doors. One of them even lead to the cryo, no idea why there, but it sometimes happened.

Footsteps echoed through the hallways as it took them some time walking in the dark hallways, where the light source came from the dimmed lights and the honey pipes, before they got to the spot they wanted to go to.

One of the big windows that let in the soft light of the stars was on the wall to their right and they walked to it to gaze out into the space. The protective barrier that was around the ship was visible a bit behind the window along with the stars.

They loved to look into the space through the big windows that were around the HIVE.

One would think that windows and space isn't a great mix but the sight out of them is amazing. You just have to make sure the windows are strong enough.

Stars, planets, galaxies, meteorites, supernovas, whole planet systems and more were a sight to die for though.

Sol especially loved to see how colourful the space could be despite how they sometimes got existential crisis over how the space was big and empty.

They liked to space out (pun intended heh) while gazing out of the windows in the living room like places on the ship, not listening to what was going on around them and focusing only on the beauty of the space outside.

It was interesting and amazing to see what could be found there.

When something interesting like a new planet was found, then for the next few weeks it was the main topic in conversations, and the more curious and adventurous crew members even went down onto the planet to do some things to help Leander gather more information. Sol was apart of those expeditions few times and it was always fun.

Most of it was done by drones though to ensure safety. As far as Sol remembered there weren't many accidents on strange planets but it didn't hurt to be safe.

It didn't take away the excitement from how the space could be amazing, in fact, for them it made the unknown even more interesting.

Sol's workplace where they worked on their projects, like the weapons and now also armours, always has few posters with something about space and they even have some in their quarters.

They couldn't remember from where they got it and how long, but one of the posters were about stars and constellations that can be seen from the Earth and they sometimes try to find some of the stars. Sometimes they were successful and sometimes they weren't able to locate some of the stars.

They sighed and put their hand on the window.

(Open the image for better view)

The stars shimmered with soft glow and they stayed there, staring at something that kind of reminded them of the milky way.

It was a pretty sight and they would never get tired of it, it was always beautiful.

The company of the silent stars was welcome after one of the more busy days on the HIVE. The soft humming could be heard along with the bubbling of the honey pipes and they stood there, enjoying how calm and quiet everything was.

The HIVE was never silent.

They took a deep breath and smiled. There was a nice warm feeling in their chest as they continued to watch the space.

Even when they sometimes missed their time on Earth they wouldn't leave the HIVE. They have gotten used to the chaos on the ship and they loved to be here. They love the space and the HIVE with all the occupants. Maybe it was a little foolish to be this loyal, but they had truly found a home here.

The HIVE was their home and they would risk their live to protect it along with others on the ship.

Q: I always found it interesting that John got married a month after you.

Paul: I think we spurred each other into marriage. They were very strong together which left me out of the picture, so then I got together with Linda and we got our own kind of strength. I think again that they were a little bit peeved that we got married first. (October, 1986)

[cosmicourple]

thinkin’ of pre-Trojan War Poseidon x Penelope where Ody’ meets n marries her a few years later than ‘canon’, so 4 the bit of time spent single in her fresh twenties, ‘Nelope has a small affair w/ The Sea God, them spending their ‘private time together’ very excitingly and rough ]:))),,

right so, I'm reading the atlas six at the moment and I'm getting near-ish to the end and my brain is about to explode from the amount of theories and just random feelings I have about this fucking book

(I genuinely don't know how much of a fandom there is out there for this series because I've avoided interacting with anything out of fear for spoilers. although kinda already fucked up on that one when I went looking for fanart and found out that my (maybe) favourite charcter dies, I just don't know how, when or why)

The point I'm at is when Libby screams(?)/gets kidnapped or something (or at least the room went weird and now she's probably MIA) and the other's have realised that someone got into the house.

My bets are on it being Ezra. Like why else would Tristan have randomly met him that one night and why was there that weird interlude chapter where Ezra was talking about starving with no context and then Atlas appears right at the end. And also Nico and Libby just had a little conversation about Ezra where she finally said that they had broken up (It feels weird because you'd probably expect that conversation to be between Libby and Tristan but, then again, Nico has some interest/hatred of Libby and Ezra's relationship. and also Libby repeated that they'd broken up even though her conversation with Nico had moved on already). My guess is that Ezra was one of the other options for the six being considered for initiation but obviously he didn't and then The Forum or some other rival society approached him and was like 'hey could you maybe try and get infomation out of your girlfriend about the society she's maybe going to be in' and he's like 'the fuck? sure okay' and they tell him about the fucked up stuff that the society does. So then he's helping the forum with this idea that he could save Libby from anything that could happen to her because ,as he keeps saying, she's his 'responsibility'. But then, because Libby keeps pushing him away and they had that fight on the christmas weekend he doesn't know what to do anymore. So then, Atlas approaches him being like you could still be an option to be initiated if you do this thing for me (Atlas is sus as fuck btw, more on this later) which is when Tristan and Ezra accidently meet and I remember Ezra saying something like 'I'm trying to decide something' (something like that). Is he trying to decide whether he should accept Atlas' offer (whatever that could be)? So now he's involved and it has to have something to do with Libby, like getting her back (in a good or bad way) or protecting her or even eliminating her?

All I know is, there is more to him than just being a side character for Libby's character development. I remeber in possibly Libby's first chapter that she said that part of the reason they got to know each other was because they had both suffered loss but she didn't go into much detail about what happened to Ezra. So that could be important as well.

Other than that my only other theory about him is that he's already part of the society, like probably in Dalton's class, which would have made him quite young when he was initiated but Dalton was also quite young then so it can make sense... maybe?

OH OH OH! This idea just came to me. What if the person that Ezra lost (I'm assuming it was a family member anyway or like his entire family) was, say, an older brother? who had been chosen to be one of the six (in Dalton's class) and he was the guy that Dalton killed...

so now Ezra hates the society for killing his brother and is trying to stop the same thing from happening to Libby but now that she's ended things with him it's made it all weird. Maybe if he kills her, he could get an opportunity to get his brother back?

(alternatively this could all be a load of utter shit and I've got it all completely wrong lol)

My other theory is about Atlas. Sus as fuck, as I have already said. The only person I trust, surrounding what they say and think about Atlas, is Callum. As much as I don't like him, I think he's dead on with what he's been telling Tristan about Atlas. That Atlas wants Callum dead and needs Tristan alive for his magical abilities.

Atlas, however, told either Parisa or Libby (I can't remember) that he didn't like or dislike any of them. (I'm now thinking he told Parisa this because they were talking telepathically and she said that it was harder to lie in thoughts which is why she believed what he was saying) So I'm thinking, he's an incredibly powerful telepath who's able to lie and is using that power to manipulate all of them. I've kinda lost my train of thought with this now so I may come back later and write something more. BUT I believe Callum.

Finally, who do I think will die?

Not Callum Not Tristan Not Nico (probably but there is like a 1% chance I'm wrong) Mostly likely not Parisa (there's still more she needs to discover I think, mostly to do with the fact that she still wants to explore Dalton's mind) Possibly Libby (BUT I don't think Nico would let that happen because I think they still need each other and I don't think Libby would let them kill Nico either so the only way one of them goes is that one of them will have to very dramatically and heartbreakingly turn on the other. I know that they 'hate' eachother but it's more like 'I hate you so much that I actually love you and can't live without you'. I can't decide if it's platonic or romantic or a secret third thing but I don't care I just need them to be alive. I also don't think Tristan is likely to let Libby die but also at the same time he's just failed to kill Callum, which was her suggestion so I'm slightly worried he's going to turn on her) More likely Reina (but mainly because I can't see it being more likely anyone else and I don't think the other's would be opposed to it, maybe Nico but not enough to not go through with it. Also they all know she's very powerful but also that she doesn't want to use her power, for a valid reason, and you can make the argument that they're supposed to choose the person that, essentially, the world can do without so if she's not going to use her power then what's the point?)

I don't want any of them to die though because (very very deep down for callum) I love them all so much

Okay I'm done now. I still have things I want to say but I've exhausted myself typing this. Might finish the book today but I have an exam tomorrow and don't want to be thinking about the ending whilst I'm trying to write essays on unrelated subjects. So, I'll probably finish it tomorow after the exam.

If you made it this far, well done. This probably made zero sense but oh well :)

(I am also very scared of going on any of these tags because I don't want spoilers so yeah)
