    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

    "Haven't I suffered enough?"

    "Sto-op!"

    The warrior felt the wind shift. The stom intensified, answering to its master's fury.

    He didn't care.

    He was beyond caring.

    "You didn't stop when I begged you!" He snarled as he plunged the weapon once more.

    Briliant, blinding light came out of the wound—light diferent from that of ichor. it felt pure, divine, all consuming.

    Odysseus threw an arm up to sheild his eyes.

    "I will take this as renoucement of parenthood," Poseidon rumbled out.

    "What?"

    "You helped create him. And now?" Poseidon informed the lowly Ithacan, "You would kill him."

    "No," the warrior-king said ghostly, "-not possible."

    Summary

    When Ryland Grace wakes up, all knows is the weight of the world has been put on his shoulders. He isn't an astronaut. He isn't the best of the best like Yao and Ilyukhina are. He doesn't even know why he volunteered. But his crewmates never needed another astronaut. They need him. And they aren't alone.

    ---
    AU in which Yao and Ilyukhina survive the coma because I love them and I need Grace to have human contact. AKA Rocky returns home with three weird aliens.

    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.

    Summary

    The lives of the crew of the Long Shot are statistically ridiculous. They've travelled over sixteen light-years to answer a three-decade-old distress call from a dying planet. They expected to find any number of things upon arrival at 40 Eridani, but being greeted by a human voice certainly wasn't on the list.

    Dr Ryland Grace says they're welcome. He says the problem has already been solved, and everything's fine, and so, in fact, is Earth. But all they know about Ryland Grace is that he left on a suicide mission ten years before they launched. And they're not so sure they should be taking a dead man at face value.

    OR: The Eridians have learned to safely host a human, despite every barrier of language and instinct. Now they just need to do it with seven more. At least, this time, they have Grace's help, right?

    (This fic is part of a series but will stand alone.)
