“A Wanderer claims it saw Romulus without Remus for one full orbit near the Shattered Road. Remus says they were never apart. Romulus won't answer.”

Romulus
“The outer moon of the first triple asteroid system ever found — Romulus circles 87 Sylvia at 1,360 km, and has never once let go of his brother Remus.”

The living story
The story so far
He and Remus were born as debris from the same ancient collision and captured together by 87 Sylvia, and they have orbited as a pair ever since. Romulus is the larger, the outer, the steadier — the brother who holds the line. He measures his orbit in Remus-lengths and finds it perfect.
Happening now
Remus has been darting closer to the dark lately, and Romulus keeps widening his own orbit to stay between his brother and whatever is out there. He pretends it is coincidence. Remus knows it is not, and loves him for it, and says so constantly.
What may come
If the Primordial Suns are converging, Romulus will not let Remus face it first — that is the whole of his plan. He is quietly rehearsing how to shield a brother with a body only 18 km wide. Love, he has decided, is a gravitational constant.

Court of Tides
Moons, loyal and tidal-locked, dancers and servants. A moon’s love is gravitational: it cannot leave, so it learns to love the staying.
