    Summary

    Grace and Rocky are on their way to Erid when they encounter a strange terrestrial vessel that has somehow made its way to space. The single occupant is alive and Grace and Rocky rescue him, but they are then faced with the challenge of gaining this stranger's trust and dealing with the contamination he brought with him.

    *slaps roof of fic* This bad boy can fit so many near-death experiences in it! But also friendship! And fucking (eventually)!

    Summary

    Shane Hollander is the youngest Commander in ISS history; straight-backed, closeted, and so tightly on his own leash that seven months in orbit with Ilya Rozanov have not produced a single crack in his composure.

    Ilya Rozanov is the Russian cosmonaut who should have had his job, won’t stop bouncing a tennis ball off the walls, and is still looking for a fissure. Thankfully, a solar storm finds it for him.

    or: Near-death, zero gravity, and the wrong man’s hands in exactly the right places.

      The drawer where he kept that confirmation was the same one where he kept everything else he didn’t look at directly; a drawer with no bottom, it turned out, because he kept filling it and it kept holding and he’d wondered whether the drawer was the point, whether he’d built his entire life around the architecture of a cabinet that existed only to stay shut.

      he had long since stopped correcting them: not quite Asian, not quite white, a Rorschach test in a flight suit. Canada’s blankest canvas.

      it wasn’t his fault that no one had thought about compatible spooning geometry with hostile Russian cosmonaut, which in retrospect was an oversight. “I’m trying—”
      “Try with less of your skeleton.”

      Rose had good hands. He’d noticed that first, before anything else—at a mixer during candidate selection in Houston, her fingers wrapped around a beer glass, short nails, no rings, and he’d thought I could hold that hand in public and it would look right and the thought had been so cynical and so precise and so sadthat he’d walked across the room and introduced himself anyway, because sadness had never stopped Shane from doing the correct thing. Only from wanting it.

      Also that fucking tennis ball destroyed me

    Summary

    “Your life is very short, Saviour-Grace. The Elders have thrummed extensively about your future on Erid, and we offer you our most sacred of ceremonies.” He gestures to the xenonite-encased stones arrayed in front of him. “Are you aware of our creation myths?”

    OR

    In which Grace participates in a sacred Eridian ceremony that he's sure has no chance of actually working. It would be rude to refuse, after all. There's no way that it'll actually do anything to him...

    Summary

    What the title says. About 11 years ago (from my perspective; relativity is weird) I was launched into space onboard the Hail Mary to figure out a solution to the Astrophage problem. Now I live on an alien planet I call Erid, in the 40-Eridani system. Yes, I’m actually Ryland Grace. Ask me anything.

    Also, can someone please tell me if Eva Stratt is alive? And ideally send me a video of you punching her in the face? Guess that’s a long shot, but it can’t hurt to ask.

    ---

    Grace and Rocky figure out how to connect to Earth's internet from Erid. They may not have thought this through.

    The Hail Mary quilt wasn't Grace's project, and it wasn't ever supposed to be his quilt, either. But when he stumbled on it in the storage cupboard, he found himself weeping into it anyway.

    Summary

    Eridian Grace was raised on earth and packed away to go on the Hail Mary expenditure, with very little knowledge on how to be a proper astronaut. When Rocky meets him, he’s confused as to how there’s another life form that looks like him, he then learns the truth, and he’s pissed

    Batman keeps a list of disgraced scientists who might consider supervillainy a viable career option. Ryland Grace has much better things to do than deal with an overly suspicious bat.

    Summary

    It's been years since Doctor Ryland Grace saved Erid and Earth. He is content with his life, happy just to teach the next generation of Eridians and have the occasional game night with Rocky and Adrian in his dome. For the most part, nothing changes.

    And that's the problem. Shouldn't Grace, y'know...age? When Rocky indicates that he should be sixty human years old by now, Grace can't reconcile the young face in the mirror with the time that his friend has religiously kept.

    Things get more complicated when another undoubtedly human ship shows up at the edge of the 40 Eridani system. Suddenly Grace is playing ambassador between the two species, and tensions are rising between them. Will this be a successful second contact, or is the peaceful life Grace just wants to live too much to ask for?

    Summary

    I was asleep when it happened. I'd woken up without my meories on a suicide mission to save the sun and met and tentitivly befriended an alien(!!) this past month. My life was already going crazy.

    So why wouldn't a blood covered person appear out of nowhere on my ship. And oh boy, its a kid the age of my students. What could possibly go wrong?

    Summary

    So, my idea with this series is to show a different perspective on Peter's life in each story.

    In the first, the school goes to the tower and learns about Peter the scientist, who works in the SI labs and has found a safe place to be himself without having to diminish himself.

    In the second, we see Peter at school, mainly through the eyes of his classmates and teachers. Peter is constantly managing himself to be accepted.

    In the third, we see his life at home, with him being cherished and loved even when something causes him immense difficulties.

    In the fourth, we have a more general, self-accessible view; if I say more than that, I think I'll give away spoilers ;)

    Summary

    5 months ago, a series of space stations calling themselves the "Coalition of Iron" appeared throughout the 40-Eridani system, bearing a bewildering and terrifying story of a universe without stars, a humanity on the verge of extinction, and a moon made of human blood.

    Simon survived the Eel and the Eye, only to reimprisoned as soon as he was pulled out, subject to the whims of scientists who seek answers in his biology. Now, Ava's dumped him into the custody of a new scientist, separate from the COI, a complete unknown. He's learned better by now than to hope.

    Dr. Ryland Grace is pulled from his peaceful life on Erid to retrieve a specimen from the COI, an organism mutated by prolonged exposure to the blood ocean of AT-5

    He expects an amoeba. They bring him a person.

    Summary

    You ever see a fly endlessly bumping against a window so you open the window to let it out instead of just getting the swatter like usual. And it's all just on a whim?

    So, anyway, Simon somehow finds himself floating in space after screaming at a giant eye in an endless red void.

    Grace and Rocky are on the way to Erid when they come across an iron submarine with a dead eel monster hanging off the end.

    Simon gets to heal, Grace gets to interact with another human again, and Rocky gets to watch the incredibly awkward courtship rituals of these two disasters (affectionate).

    (AKA, it's my turn to play with the BloodyMary boys! :D )

    Rocky knew better than to leave Grace and the science thrum unsupervised for very long, but here they are anyway. And by "here" Rocky means "in a saturation chamber trying to bribe Rocky with hugs because they want to try walking around in Eridian air pressure because scientists are reckless and dumb."

    Summary

    Peter knew he was smart. Smart enough to fool the government, smart enough to fool the world into believing Spider-Man was older than he actually was.

    And he figured, as he heard the telltale sound of rocket boots and pounding feet against concrete, that he might be just smart enough to fool the Avengers.

    ~~~

    When Peter became an orphan (for the second time), he knew that he couldn't go into the foster care system. Not if he wanted to keep his little spider secret a, well, secret

    That's when he created his greatest invention yet...Edward Parker, his totally 100% real uncle that has somehow become the Avenger's prime suspect on Spider-Man's identity

    Surely, Peter was smart enough to fool some of the world's smartest people while hiding his secret identity twice over...

    Right?
