    Summary

    "It takes me another moment before I realize that I wasn’t hurting from the fall. There’s no struggle to get air back into my lungs. I’ve tumbled end over end, and sort of landed upright. All my limbs are sprawled in every direction.
    Rocky skitters down to my level, right up against the xenonite. “Grace fall! Hurt question? Okay okay okay?”
    With all my brainpower, I focus on responding. 'Y-ye-es,' I manage to chirp. I freeze. Process.
    That was definitely not English. Or any other human language. I didn’t move any muscles to speak.
    'Y-ees,' I say again, and the same chirping note comes out. Inside me, I feel the shifting of five gas-filled… things. That note came from me. But it sounded like Rocky."

    ...

    In which Grace wakes up as an Eridian. And then a human. Eridian again.

    Figuring out how to walk and sing is the first step. The rest will have to come later.

    Summary

    Mindy Park is rapidly realising that the first intelligent extraterrestrial to make contact with the human race thinks they’re fucking stupid. She’s pretty sure that Dr Grace isn’t accurately translating half the things Rocky is saying, but most of what he is telling her is that Rocky has a better way of doing what NASA wants them to do, and honestly, it seems like Rocky is mostly right. She probably doesn’t want to know what the other half of what Grace’s new alien friend is saying, if the things that are making it through what she’s calling the “middle school teacher filter” are “why would you do something the dumb way when you could do it the right way”.

    or,

    Mindy has a headache, Grace has trauma, Mark is confused and Rocky is wondering how humans made it in to space when they're all so, so dumb.

    Summary

    When Newt next opens his eyes, it’s to the searing heat of a hand against his shoulder.

    He flinches away, of course—he doesn’t know what to do with physical touch after so long without it.

    And he certainly doesn’t know what the fuck to do with a touch that is gentle.

    When was the last time someone touched him tenderly? When was the last time he danced with anyone save his ghosts?

    Newt is feverish and aching and filled with so much grief that he doesn’t know if he’ll ever be able to carry his own ghosts any further than this fucking toilet seat, with the orange acid and the gleaming porcelain and the cheap tiles beneath his knees.

    And when Newt looks up, he thinks that it’s one of the dreams that the precursors once infected his brain with. The dreams of Hermann Gottlieb showing up by his side, stepping foot inside of that penthouse apartment in Shanghai, and sweeping him off of his feet and taking him away from that wretched fucking place.

    (After being released from prison, Newt finds himself under probation as Hermann's lab assistant. When he gets sick, he thinks no one will care- but he will find himself sorely mistaken.)
