Fics like Gray Matter

Ryland blinked. The world swam. A face. Above him. Backlit by the gray afternoon sky streaming through the shattered window, features shadowed and impossible to resolve into anything coherent. Strong jaw. Blue eyes looking at him with an intensity that should have been frightening but wasn't, somehow. Wasn't frightening at all. Court? The name surfaced from somewhere deep and buried under years of carefully constructed normalcy. The face above him blurred and shifted in his failing vision, and for one breathless, impossible moment it was him. Older, harder, scarred in ways Ryland's memory didn't account for, but him. Oh, Ryland thought, with the strange, floating calm of someone who understood they were dying. You came to get me. Or Sierra Six is hired to protect Dr. Ryland Grace after an attempt on his life. This should change nothing, but instead it changes quite a few things.
