Author's note: Written for
the_alchemist, who wanted Richard/Ratcliffe hurt/comfort. In all fairness, she did say that I could do space opera. Beta-read by
lareinenoire,
angevin2,
vashtan, and
cpip. When I say that this AU is closed for collaboration, I mean that I more or less know what else is happening in it--but if you're willing to work with a firmly set plotline, then certainly, you may collaborate.
