DISCLAIMERRRRRR !!!!!! This is a real person fic, and it features astronaut Christina Koch, who is a REAL person with a husband in real life. I have mad respect for Christina and her family, this is just me being obsessed with her and wanted to make something for the people interested in seeing a fic.
If RPF isn't your thing or makes you uncomfortable, I advise not reading this at all. ❤️ !!!!!!

Christina's Secret At NASA
At NASA, everything is about control. Christina is a top astronaut. Lori is the assistant who keeps everything-and everyone-in line. They shouldn't cross that line. But there are looks that linger too long. Touches that feel intentional. Words that mean more than they should. Nothing is ever said. Still... the tension between them says everything.

Stable Systems | Christina Koch
As a former biology student, taking astrophysics was pure madness. But what began as an impulsive choice soon turned out to be Lucy's discovery of her fascination with the universe - and with her professor, Dr. Koch. Between equations she barely understands and a world she never thought she belonged to, Lucy finds herself drawn deeper into both science and something she cannot quite name. Because some distances are measurable. Others are forbidden.
Pulse - Christina Koch
Maya Vance is a genius engineer with one job: keep the legendary Commander Christina Koch alive. Maya's "Aegis" system is supposed to be the most advanced biometric suit in NASA history, but when it malfunctions during a critical test, her career-and Christina's life-are put on the line. Now, Maya is forced into a grueling 3:00 AM schedule with the one woman she's admired from afar for years. Christina is cold, professional, and twice Maya's age, and she doesn't have time for mistakes. But as they work together in the silence of the empty labs, Maya realizes the sensors aren't glitching. They're picking up a rhythm the math can't explain. In the high-stakes world of the Artemis mission, the most dangerous thing isn't the vacuum of space-it's the heart rate Maya wasn't supposed to feel.
