Summary
A sob catches in his throat, and another wracks his whole body. He shakes with the weight of his own death.
The blood closes in on him. He secures the life jacket to the black box and asks his mother in the afterlife to keep it safe. He wonders if she did. He will never know.
Then, the blur clears from his vision. His tears are forgotten about if only for a moment.
He’s in a meadow, watched over by hundreds, if not thousands, of stars on a backdrop of painted clouds of dust incomprehensibly ancient. The Milky Way galaxy, come to look down on him from a cloudless night sky. A lone white moon sits full and bright as its pupil. A breeze catches his hair and his face with a nip of cold; a gentle touch that tells him do not worry. You are free now.
~~~
Simon wakes from death to an earthly forest. A month before, Ava finds herself in a junkyard, far from any civilization. When Simon finds her, they come to an agreement to cooperate for survival. Over time, they reconcile with their past. Then, they open up.
Still, they have questions. Namely, where are they? Why are they here? And what is that strange smoke in the distance?
[Rewrite for chapter 2 DONE!]

Summary
“And um, one more thing,” David said hesitantly. Ava pivoted her gaze back towards him, becoming rather baffled. What could possibly be more important than all the crap he had just finished telling her?
“The sun's back,” David said.
...
In which Ava wakes up outside of the sub, missing a leg, an explanation, and slow-returning memories of bartering with a god. And oh, the sun’s back. While the remnants of humanity scramble to make sense of the slowly returning cosmos, Ava struggles to feel... anything at all.
And the one-armed, haunted convict that can't seem to stop apologizing doesn't help matters, either.

Summary
No one was meant to get away alive. With the intercession of gods and the end of reality, if he is to be believed, there must be some kind of deep authorial intent that was defied. But that’s all you are, aren’t you? Deep down, you’re defiant. That’s what made you a leader.
Isn’t it?
Ava?

It Is Worth Anything: A Narrative Essay on Captain Ava by strawbearri_read
Fandoms: Iron Lung (2026)
04 Apr 2026
Tags
Summary
Iron Lung (2026) is a film dedicated to the eternal nature of hope, but Captain Ava is defined by desperation so deep that it becomes a survival instinct necessary to her worldview. When she was younger, Ava watched her entire universe become dark and empty - the Quiet Rapture destroying almost all of humanity and every hospitable planet, leaving an entire society split across a handful of spaceships, with limited resources and no hope for survival. Witnessing the formation of the Consolidation of Iron, and the new stringent world order that accompanied it, would have forced Ava to create an immovable sense of self from a young age. When this view is challenged, she resists - subsequently betraying herself and her perceived duty to humanity by intentionally sacrificing lives in the name of progress - a pattern which is destroyed when she is confronted with the convict Simon, and his unjustifiable desire to survive simply for the sake of life.

Summary
What if Simon was trapped in a time loop?
“Convict! Everything alright? Is the sub okay?”
“Is this a test?” Simon asks, voice wavering. The pause hangs heavy for a moment. The depth meter drops. The SM-13 groans under the weight and pressure of the blood around it. Simon’s eyes dart from the porthole to the intercom.
“This is the first time this sub has been used, yes.” Ava says finally. “Why? Everything holding up alright? I assure you the weld is—”
“A test for me. Me." he jabs a nervous thumb against his sternum, leaning toward the speaker, pleading, as if she can see him. As if that would make any difference. “Am I being tested? Is this some C.O.I. thing? Some kind of sick rehab?”
“...if you want to see it that way. Just… finish this and you'll have your freedom.”
Simon swallows hard, turning back to the controls he's learned so well, cobwebs of fear prickling in the back of his mind. A question flits through his thoughts that he doesn't dare vocalize.
What did I do to deserve this?
