    Summary

    Ryland Grace has had a weird couple of years, but somehow, picking up a stray astronaut from Mars on his way home to Earth after a failed suicide mission winds up being MUCH weirder than the genuine space alien that’s hitching a ride with the two of them. But getting home was the easy part, escaping government detainment to rescue his new alien friend is shaking out to be much more difficult. Can he really trust the very same people who sent him into space to die against his will to help him get out of this mess? I guess we’ll find out!

    Some other info:

    - Heavily inspired by the listed work below! I am loving this concept so much and can’t wait to write more about it!
    - As per my other fic as well, the “/////“‘s are to indicate the perspective switching.
    - Ive started to add songs I associate with each chapter in the end notes if you want to listen along! It's by no means required, but I like having a soundtrack to write to :)
    - My second ever fanfic, AHH!
    - Told from the perspectives of Grace, Mark, Rocky, and Stratt.

    Thanks for checking out my fic and I hope you enjoy! Please feel free to leave any comments you may have, I absolutely love reading them! It genuinely makes my day :)

    Summary

    “Eva Stratt, you are under arrest.”

    She wonders what they’ll charge her with as they place the handcuffs around her wrists. Environmental destruction, certainly. Extortion and racketeering? Probably. Someone could make the case for smuggling—it would be interesting if they got her on piracy. She turns to give her final good-byes, and her heart stops.

    “Ryland Grace, you are under arrest.”

    OR

    Eva Stratt was prepared to be the world's scapegoat. She'd angered too many people and skirted too many rules not to be. She didn't expect Ryland Grace to get arrested right alongside her.

    Summary

    My idea of what Eva Stratt’s reaction might have been to the contents of the beetles

    ———————

    “This is Ryland grace, reporting from the Hail Mary, and I’ve figured out how to save Earth.”

    A hush fell over the room, so utterly complete that Stratt’s pounding heartbeat felt deafening. She inhaled deeply. Exhaled.

    This was it. Everything she had worked towards had culminated into this one, singular moment. She felt nauseous with anticipation for it.

    Summary

    She's been staring at the footage for over an hour today, the chase playing on a loop as it had in the days since it happened, Grace's bright yellow jacket a beacon in the blurs of gray buildings, black coats, and dull green grass. She stares at it for so long that it becomes the only thing she sees in her dreams anymore.

    PHM_GRACE_RYLAND_9.13.23

    She meant to delete it. She meant to put it behind her and focus on the mission, focus on the Astrophage, focus on putting her betrayal so far back in her mind that she could continue living with her choices.

    The videos are archived onto the Hail Mary instead.

    Eva Stratt will never know.

    Summary

    "I'll keep you updated. In the meantime, go back to sleep. When you need to worry, I'll tell you."

    "Heh." Ryland ran his hand down his face. "It's terrible you know that it actually makes me feel better. What would I do without you?"

    "Explode at a colleague at a conference and get expelled from academia and become a middle school teacher." Eva said, promptly.

    "Wow, you've thought about that way too hard." Ryland laughed. "Middle schoolers might not vape in class, though. Maybe I should switch."

    "Let's not joke."

    Summary

    “Does Grace have soulmate, question? Grace said he had no mate.”

    Grace lets out a small—albeit a little sad—chuckle. “I’m pretty sure I don’t have one.”

    “What?!” Rocky screeches.

    Grace flinches back a bit from the noise. At least Rocky has the gall to look a little sympathetic after his outburst.

    “Apology apology apology, just confused.”

    Grace nods in agreement. “I’m not too sure about it either, buddy, but people used to look down on me for it– no, not down,” he thinks, trying his best to pull at any other memories soulmate related of his that are willing to come to the surface of his mind, “They looked at me with pity,” He trails off.

    “No no no. Not right. Grace have soulmate, surely.”

    Grace laughs and shakes his head. “At this point, I hope I don’t have one. Imagine having the other half of you shot up into space before you could even meet them. I wouldn’t want to do that to them.”

    “But Grace go home now, Grace find mate!”

    --

    Or: You find your soulmate the first time you come in physical contact with each other.

    In all his life, Ryland Grace has never met his soulmate.
    He probably never will.

    “Grace have soulmate, question?” Rocky asked.

    “Uh. No.” Grace shifted against the barrier, fluffing a pillow to support his back.

    Summary

    In a world where humans are born with a predetermined ‘soulmate’, so to say, Ryland Grace is very happy to wonder the earth without. Sure, the weight of what should be his bond dulls the senses and makes the world a little more distant than he would like, but there was nothing for it. Nothing to fix the ache, except a certain splotch of stars, and this feeling of impending doom.

    Well, there was nothing, until his life was ruined and subsequently fixed all in one horrible day.
    --
    (or, my first attempt at soulmates where Grace can’t find a mate because his is in space, waiting. Oh, and both of their mate is waiting not so patiently on Erid.)

    Summary

    Three years after the probes carrying Taumoeba and Dr. Ryland Grace's final message arrive on Earth, humanity launches an interstellar spaceship with a brand new mission. Thirty-six crew members (including two graduates of a certain San Franciscan junior high school) travel to the star 40-Eridani to make friendly contact with the Eridians and bring them the alien life form from Tau Ceti-E that can save their star if Dr. Grace's sacrifice failed.

    Grace, now fifty-seven years old, is just trying to balance his life as a teacher while no longer being the only human on the planet anymore. It's a big adjustment, but Rocky and the Terra's Grace crew are going to make sure he's well taken care of.
