    Summary

    This is real, I think. I don’t know how, or why, or frankly even what. But it’s real. It has to be.

    A shaky smile grows on my face. “Hello earth.” I whisper hoarsely
    “I’m home”

    But before I can even begin to bask in that concept alone, a horrifying thought strikes me. Home. Erid. Rocky.
    “Oh God-“ The soaring hope that built in my chest crashes down. The emotional swing leaves me feeling unsteady on my feet, I grasp harder at the windowsill, this time to keep my balance.

    Rocky.
    ------------------------------------------
    Or: Grace wakes up Back in San Francisco the day the Petrova Samples splash down, and will do anything it takes to get back to Rocky.

    Summary

    Within the tight quarters of the Hail Mary, misunderstandings, arguments, and accidents are bound to happen. It's especially unfortunate when all three happen at once.

    Summary

    When Ryland Grace returns to Earth, he knew it would be a big deal. He didn't quite expect the whole psychological part of things. As it turns out, there's at least one other person on Earth who can appreciate how much hangs in the balance when everything goes wrong in space.

    Summary

    "- and Mr. Grace really took most of the fall for me and honestly I feel kinda bad because he's already in trouble with Principal Morita for that thing he said to the Brooklyn Visions' coach at the last Academic Decathlon and-"

    Peter's voice whittles down to a high pitched whistle, forgetting that he needs to breathe to continue creating more sound.

    After a few more agonizing seconds during which Peter weighs the possibilities that he just gave his mentor and the savior of the world a heart attack, Mr. Stark looks up at him, eyes suddenly wide.

    A beat passes.

    "What's your teacher's name again?"

    AKA, Ryland Grace and Tony Stark hooked up in college. This is fine, until 20 years later, Peter Parker gets involved. It's all downhill from there.

    Summary

    There were four hours of camera footage on the beetles. They’ve all seen parts, because it’s everywhere, but no-one has been able to bring themselves to watch the whole thing. But they owe it to Dr. Grace. They owe him far, far more than that.
    The lights dim, someone presses play…and there he is.
    “So, I met an alien…”
    Katsuki laughs, shaking his head in amazement. The whole world knows about the Eridians by now, but all he can think is: of course. Of course Dr. Ryland Grace made first contact twice. He always was the best of them.
    -
    Or, for the first time in nearly 30 years, the Petrova Taskforce reunites for one last mission: to see what remains of their Dr. Grace.

    Summary

    “The man is a pariah in his field. If you’d read his post-doctoral thesis,” Vale chuckles and shakes his head. “He’s not what I’d call ‘leadership material,’ in any case.”
    “Dr. Grace is very well respected on this ship, Friedrich,” Dr. Cohen says with a hint of reproach. “While you’re here, perhaps it is best not to say such things in polite company.”
    Vale rolls his eyes, but lets the subject drop with a muttered, “Really, what could Grace do to me?”
    The astrophysics team experiences a collective realization: Friedrich Vale might be a complete idiot, actually.
    -
    Or, Friedrich Vale is the newest scientist on Stratt's Vat. Friedrich Vale, for whatever reason, does not like Dr. Ryland Grace. Friedrich Vale is about to have a VERY bad time.
    Featuring the crew of Stratt's Vat being totally prepared to throw a bitch overboard if they so much as give Dr. Grace a dirty look, because he's too nice to do it himself.

    Summary

    When Grace gets seemingly teleported by means unknown into the SM-13 right as it was nearing The Light, both Simon and Grace have no idea what is happening. Grace knows he was supposed to be in his house on Erid, Simon knows this new guy cannot possibly be a hallucination, and Ava, upon hearing Grace ramble about theories for how he got there, knows that new guy is Smart. Could-Secure-Our-Survival Smart.
    She orders Simon to bring Grace back to the surface, and thus begins Grace's ordeal in a starless universe.

    Summary

    “What are you talking about?” Grace's fingers played quick chords as he spoke. He didn’t even look as he did it, but it did not make them any less purposeful.

    “Discussing possible reasons why Tau Ceti is not infected while other stars are,” Eva replied deftly. “I would invite you to join, but we were just finishing—”

    “Oh, that’s easy.” His hand twisted a knob, and the notes came out sharper. “It is infected—Petrova Line and everything.”

    In Grace's opinion, dreaming about time traveling is no excuse for getting out of practice with his Eridian. To the rest of the Petrova Taskforce, it seems a bit odd that their resident Astrophage expert has suddenly taken to carrying a keyboard around and playing it whenever he speaks. Eva Stratt resolves to figure out what is going on.

    Summary

    Grace flexes its jaw, shifts the marker towards one corner of its mouth, then removes the marker without actually consuming it. It makes a sharp pop as it leaves Grace's mouth, brightening the tubing in Grace's nose.

    "I've got it reversed," Grace decides.

    I unfreeze enough to let out a loud and pointed noise of disgust.

    "Yeah, sorry buddy. This isn't exactly my wheelhouse."

    Without acknowledging the aborted attempt to eat the marker, nor wiping it's digestive fluids off of it, Grace taps the square it paused over again.

    "This is actually a second cousin," It says.

    I decide not to ask.

    -

    Or: The road to Erid is long. Rocky spends it slowly figuring out what it means to be human, and how Grace muddles along through it.

    Summary

    “Eye movement detected.”

     

    For Courtland and Colt, it's been the mere blink of an eye.

    For Ryland, it's been nearly eight months of fighting to survive in the situations he has found himself.

    So, when Court and Colt finally do wake up, mission completed, travelling away from Earth, and are faced with a brother who they don't quite recognise, how do they even begin to get back some semblance of normal? And more importantly, of family?

    Summary

    The Hail Mary has been shot out into the depths of the infinite void of space to search for an answer that may not even be there. Aboard, the three crew members lay in stasis as the ship hurtles like an arrow towards a distant star, with no hope of return, but a desperate hope to make things right.

    At home, two brothers are left in sudden and violent grief. A woman grapples with whether or not she made the right decision. The world strains and suffers under the weight of the coming Fimbulwinter.

    And then one of the beetles returns.

    Thirteen years early.

    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.

    Oh right, like he’s going to ask them for even more stuff so he can celebrate some holiday no one here has ever heard of, by himself. There’s nothing he wants less. “Probably not. Look, it will pass, okay? I’m okay."

    “You are being evasive,” accuses Rocky.

    He throws his arms out in frustration. “I am not! I’d just really rather talk about literally anything else.”

    Or: On Erid, Grace learns that avoidance isn't all it's cracked up to be.

    Colt isn't expecting any sort of visitors at this time of night at his shitty, company issued motel room, and he's certainly not expecting his freshly broken up with brother of all people to be standing outside his door.

    Summary

         “Oh, just– that I had them, I guess.” Ryland says. He doesn't even really know where he's going with this. “None of my relationships were ever spectacular or anything. Probably because of me. My ex once said that I loved because I had to. I think I’m just thinking about how I'm gonna die without ever getting married or falling in love. Oh God– I don't think I've ever fallen in love.”

     

         “This upsets you.” Rocky observes.
