Crystal Kunz, an astronaut, is on board the International Space Station when it is struck by a micro meteorite, causing minor damage to the outside of the hull. When found, it is brought inside the station, and everyone on board the station holds it and takes a look at it. However, what they don't know is that it has a dormant strain of a gene-changing virus from space that infects everyone. When the first of them begins to get sick, they all think it's a normal cold, but as it gets worse and others get sick, with the same symptoms, NASA begins to worry and emergency lands everyone on board and puts them in quarantine. All the while, the virus is changing their genetic makeup. Crystal soon starts growing wings on her back throughout the sickness, along with Vincent Vuhad, another astronaut who was on board.

When close to death and given a tentative cure, Crystal and Vincent begin to recover from the sickness as their wings continue to grow. As they gather their strength back, the other four astronauts are given a new cure to cure the genetic changes and the sickness, but instead it does the opposite, making their sicknesses worse and killing them. Crystal and Vincent can't do much about them, but instead they throw themselves in learning how to fly with their new wings.

By the time they've gotten pretty good at flying, aliens attack Earth and kill every single human being on the planet.

Except them.

Join Crystal and Vincent as they run from aliens and go cross-country while trying not to die!

Inspired by @CrystalScherer's work Upon Wings of Change, this story takes place within the seven-year timeskip in the original.

"now, when we kiss, i have anger issues" OLIVIA MURPHY needs a fresh start. With her father in prison for a crime he claims he didn't commit and everyone at her old station acting like she aided and abetted, Liv can think of nothing better than getting the hell out of Philadelphia, and Los Angeles is calling her name. She's paired with an LAPD legend, Sergeant Athena Grant, a no-nonsense field sergeant who has only ever had one partner before and isn't happy to gain a mouthy twenty-eight year old as her next. She's sure Athena hates her and will do anything to get her out of her hair, even setting her up with a vulnerable widower in her new husband's firefighting station. The last thing Liv wants in L.A. is a new boyfriend to inevitably let her down, but damn, he's got a great ass- and what's a little bit of fun? EDDIE DIAZ needs a fresher start. Only a few months after his soon-to-be ex-wife's death and his family is still reeling. Eddie and Shannon were a thing of the past; they had reconciled any bad feelings and realized their love for each other was platonic years ago, and even though he didn't love her like he thought he did, his son still lost her mother. He isn't looking to date anyone- but Athena's new partner makes his heart race, and he needs a new outlet. When a tsunami and a lost son sets their paths on a collision course, Liv and Eddie find themselves asking- how casual can they really be? s3-s5 : eddie diaz x fem!oc s5-s8: buddie x fem!oc fox/abc's 9-1-1
