    Summary

    In relative terms, the trip from the Tau Ceti system to the 40 Eridani system takes the Hail Mary a little over three Earth years.
    This is what happens when you put two snarky aliens in a small, enclosed space for that long.

    Summary

    A comic re-posted from my Tumblr

    There's no reason Simon would wake up on the Hail Mary and act rationally after dying in a blood ocean.

    So, he doesn't

    Good luck to Grace and Rocky

    Summary

    It’s nearly forty years on the dot since the launch of the Hail Mary that a transmission is received on its retired frequency. The world has been through hell and is on unsteady feet again, the Saving Grace treaty that ended World War Three and ushered in a new age is thirteen years old, and people are beginning to trust in hope.

    And then, on one fine spring morning, the Deep Space Network detects a blip near the Kuiper belt. Two days later, the transmission arrives.

    “My name is Astra Grace. I am the daughter of Ryland Grace and Olesya Ilyukhina. I come in peace with a small Eridian congregation to bury my parents on their home world. We are not armed. We come in peace.”

    *****************

    A reinterpretation of When The Stars Returned, a fic I started and never finished, where Olesya Ilyukhina survives the coma and she and Ryland make a space baby. PHM has me by the throat.

    Summary

    "What if I help you?" Grace blurts out desperately, sweating even in the coolness of his house as his words finally manage to stop Adrian from storming out.

    "What?" Adrian says after a tense moment.

    "I can prove it to everyone," Grace says, his heart in his throat. "I'll - I'll make you and Rocky the most celebrated couple on Erid. I promise."

    "Stupid human," Adrian hisses. "You would give up your chance for him just like that?"

    "Yes," Grace says hoarsely.

    "Anything for him."

    ***

    Adrian does not like Grace.

    Which sucks, really, since Grace loves Adrian's husband and all.
