Fics like By the Cold Light of Stars

At long last the Hearthians are ready to explore beyond their solar system, with the help of reverse-engineered Nomai warp technology. Four brave souls - Feldspar, Gabbro, Chert and Riebeck - have volunteered for the trip. They’ll go further than any Hearthian has ever been before, leaving behind everything they have ever known. What could possibly go wrong? (No-time-loop AU, in which Bad Things Happen and I take any excuse to continue writing Gabbro & Chert awkwardly flirting in space, but in-person this time.)
