Fics like Bank of the Acheron

“Hello, Dave. Still recognize me? Who am I?” Dave had been lying awake in the hibernation pod for several minutes when the voice pulled him out from his thoughts. Someone had opened the hatch, and a familiar face appeared before him. During those silent minutes before, Dave had been compiling a mental checklist to confirm that nothing crucial had been forgotten during the week he spent in hibernation: he was astronaut David Bowman, at the Houston training centre, preparing for the Jupiter expedition; he had just been awakened from a hibernation test that lasted a week; as for the head hovering above him, it belonged to his colleague, Frank Poole. Dave wasn’t quite ready to speak or move rashly just yet—better to be absolutely certain than risk making a fool of himself. When that head sprouted a torso and arms, however, and began jabbing its finger at his still-numb shoulder, he felt compelled to take action.
