Summary
Once he was in a room where she wouldn't be able to hear him, Branch dialed Floyd's number.
“Hey, you're on-”
“Poppy doesn't know I'm Bitty B, and I just found out she writes fanfics about him- me!” Branch burst out in a panic.
It was silent before there was a roar of laughter from over the phone.
Branch sat on the ground, pressing his face into his knees. “You're hanging out with John, aren't you?”
There was a distant ‘fanfics!’ before he heard Floyd again.
AKA, Poppy writes BroZone fanfics. This causes some confusion.
EDIT: NOW WITH A SECOND PART

Gimme!” John called out, voice coming out more clearly as he took the phone. “I can't believe you haven't told her! This is hilarious!”
“I thought she knew!” Branch defended himself. “Should we break up?!”
“Whoah!” Both of his brothers exclaimed.
“Absolutely not!” John yelled into the speaker.
“There's no need to be hasty,” Floyd tried to say calmly.

“That’s a constellation. It’s called Draconis. And over there is Fabrica Solus. The Forge of Solus.”
“Why do you name constellations?”
“It helps us identify the star clusters.”
“Why do we need to know where star clusters are?”
“Our ancestors used the stars as a form of travel. Without it, they’d be lost. Over there is the Galax.” Optimus pointed to the constellation, “It always faces north.”
“What’s a Galax?” Bee looked at Optimus, then furrowed his brows when he saw the Prime looking at him with an expression. “Sorry, am I asking too many questions?”

Summary
"Oh, understand," Rocky says. There is a moment's pause, and then he asks, "Grace word mean movement smooth and beautiful. What mean ♬♪♩?"
I type the last word in as 'Ryland', against my better judgement (I'm not looking forward to getting disappointedly full-named by Rocky's sardonic computer dictation).
"It technically means 'land of rye', which is a kind of grass grain, but not all human names are actually words. Actually, now that I think about it, names like 'Grace' are a bit of an exception."
Rocky considers this, claws tapping together the way they do when he's calculating something. I have just finished sealing away the remnants of Taumoeba Batch #72 when Rocky speaks up again.
"What mean Rocky name, question?"
I freeze. Crud.
━━━━━━━━
It's a long way to Erid. Rocky has some name-related revelations, and Grace is going through it. It's technically his fault, but he'll complain about it all the same.

Hey," I chide, mostly out of a middle school teacher habit I have yet to break. "Okay, look, can you blame me—"
"Yes, can blame!" Rocky screeches, suddenly crescendoing in pitch. "Grace give Rocky stupid name! Grace call Rocky ground-♩♫♩-lump — Rocky give Grace correct Eridian name! Grace HATE Rocky, Grace mean stupid leaky human—"

I’m back on Earth instruments again. An Eridian cannot physically make a trombone work. Do you know how upsetting this is?

“Cool, a small Eridian!”
“Is teacher Grace,” Robby blurts, and Teddy kicks them.
“Teacher Grace isn't an Eridian.”
Michaela really wants to head to the biodome right now so that they can plunge themself into oxygen and burn to death, but they still feel the need to defend their art. “Is Teacher Grace if Teacher Grace was an Eridian,” they say, in the most formal tones they can muster. “Is artistic interpretation.”
“Oh.” Jeff doesn't sound nearly as quashed as Michaela had hoped. “Why are they so hot, question?”

Clark knew a lot of things. Perks of being an investigative reporter he supposes. He knew that Batman tended to work alone when not involved with the Justice League. He knew that Batman was so secretive about his personal life no one knew anything about his real identity. He knew that he always slept with the window closed. He knew that there was no hero who wore red, green and yellow. He knew when someone needed help desperately.
He didn't know Batman would want a child hero fighting by his side. And he didn't know how the child hero knew where he kept his cornflakes.
Or, Dick, through a mouthful of cereal: hey batmans-stop screaming-batman's missing can you help

Judy and Nick are enjoying a movie night together when he finds out she's never been kissed by anyone. Nick quickly solves that problem and they finally confess that their feelings go a lot deeper than just a kiss. Short, sweet, little fluffy and stupid post-Z2 fic because I kinda can't stop

Bookmarker's Notes
Nick would go for a move he internally called “Old Faithful”: he’d fake a yawn, stretch his arms out to his head, then slowly, slowly wrap it around her shoulders and pull her in close. Did he have to go through the rigamarole of pretending to be tired so he could get Judy to nuzzle into his side? No, not really, but it made him feel like she wouldn’t be as likely to call him out on it.
Meanwhile, Judy usually played the long game, trying to methodically inch over towards her fox over the span of the move until she was right next to him. She knew she could jump the gun and snuggle into him right at the start without any complaint, but this was part of their little dance, neither one willing to openly address the simmering tension between them.

“Grace, question?”
I perk up at the sound of Rocky's voice. It's not uncommon after almost two years into our trip to Erid to ask random questions about me, or humans, or really earth in general. Especially after an hour or two on his computer.
“Yes Rocky?”
“Humans persistence predators, question? Humans hunters, question?”
“Ah.”

I raised my hand up to grab the students’ attention. Like most classrooms, it took a second, but they all turned their attention onto me.
“Alright class, please each of you come to the front.” I didn't want to explain right then, yet the students followed my order and came just in front of my desk.
Right. Ok. Now for the fun part. The stoneipede is made of, well, stone similar to an Eridian so dropping a book on it like I want to won't do much harm. But I do have a screwdriver. Its something helpful to keep on hand when you have many little rocks running around breaking things (on purpose or not). I carefully pull it out and inform the kids to stay by the desk.

Bookmarker's Notes
Grace pressed his hand briefly against the wall before sitting down in the chair he'd long since arranged just so. He'd had the chair for years. It was not a comfortable chair. It had started as an uncomfortable chair and time had made it worse. He'd asked the Eridians for a better one three times, and three times they had built him something xenonite-adjacent that suited Eridian sensibilities and did not suit his lumbar spine whatsoever. He had stopped asking.
…
Explain, he said softly.
"I don't mean I was confused. I mean ... I didn't know my name. I knew what oxygen was. I knew how to operate the ship.
The science was there, all of it, intact. But I didn't know Ryland Grace. I didn't know where he'd come from or why he was there or what kind of man he was.
I was a person with all the knowledge and none of the ... story."Rocky was very still.
That's death, he said.
The words were quiet. Not dramatic. Just a conclusion arrived at through impeccable and devastating logic.
"People don't see it that way."
People are wrong.
"Maybe."

Back on Earth (not back home, not anymore, not for a very long time) I think I remember there being some kind of rule against teachers having their own kids in their classes.
It was never relevant to me, what with my somewhat impressive lack of Earthly connections.
It’s relevant now. Very relevant.
Rocky and Adrian's pebbles' first day as Grace's students is not the most relaxing of days on Erid.

Bookmarker's Notes
All three little terrors jump straight off Rocky to the ground, fifteen tiny feet and claws kicking off him like their own personal launch pad, which sends him staggering as he tries to maintain his balance as the pebbles disappear in a mad dash.
After I’ve wiped as much foam as I can off my clothes, I give up and turn to Rocky. “I thought you said you’d be busy until dinner later?” I glance at the traitorous bucket of foam as I speak, and since I don’t think it’ll overflow, decide I’ll deal with it tomorrow.
Carapace shaking, Rocky shuffles around a little. “Thrum did not need Rocky,” he says, evasive. “Said it would be best if I return to my family.”
I eye him for a second, then realize what he means. “You were totally being annoying about the kids’ first day of school, weren’t you?”

Summary
Time is a fickle thing.
One day you are young, playing in the rain with a smile etched onto your face. The next day you are old, graduating college and stressing about bills and student loans.
Then in the next, you are young again, too young and too scared as you are told that you are going to be sent on a suicide mission to save your planet- and in the next heartbeat you are old again, walking with a cane and greying around the edges.
Then, inexplicably, you are so so so very young again.
And isn't that a shock for Ryland Grace to wake up to.

Summary
Rocky was everywhere in those months. Translating, explaining, checking on Grace between meetings, settling beside him on the beach in the evenings with the comfortable familiarity of someone who had been doing exactly this for years. Which he had. Which was normal. Which was what Grace had.
Then the meetings got longer. Then Rocky started coming to the beach less. Then there were days Grace didn’t see him at all, just received a brief communication through the translator system — Rocky is in conference, will check on Grace later — and later became the next morning, and the morning after that.
Grace told himself this was fine.

“Grace should not do this,” Fig said. “Grace is not a problem. Grace is interesting and strange and very difficult to understand biologically, and Fig has found the last several weeks to be among the most scientifically significant of Fig’s career.” A pause that Grace suspected was as close as Fig got to warmth. “Also Fig would like Grace to stay for a long time. Erid would like Grace to stay. Rocky would like Grace to stay. This is the consensus.”
Grace looked at the waves.
“I’d like to stay too,” he said.

Summary
The thing about them is that where one goes, everyone follows.
Sai watches as Fang and his friends load up an escape pod. There's little to take home, most of it small tokens they've collected over the years, and it's fortunate because they can't afford to lose any more time over what they're about to do.
"You could come with us."
Gopal fiddles with his hands as he repeats the question everyone else has asked them. He catches the way Shielda looks at the girls, more than a little tempted with how close they've gotten but even now, Sai knows his twin more than he knows himself.
(He's considered it, too.
But like him, Shielda already knows his answer.)
So he smiles, soft and genuine, and says, "You know we can't."

The grief was physical.
Rocky had known, in the abstract, that this was coming. He had known for two years. He had watched Grace diminish by degrees, had measured the changes with the precision his mind couldn't help applying to everything, had catalogued every new limitation with the careful, aching attention of someone who is trying to memorize a thing before it is gone. He had known.
It did not matter. The knowing did not matter at all.
...
HERE LIES THE PATTERN OF RYLAND GRACE WHO CAME FROM FAR AWAY AND CHOSE TO STAY THE KNOWING OF HIM CHANGED US AND BECAUSE WE ARE CHANGED HE CONTINUES
On the other side, in English. Grace had taught Rocky to write it, years ago, patient and laughing at Rocky's early attempts, and Rocky had practiced in secret until he was certain three words only:
SAME. EXACT SAME.
...
Its poignant. It's the only word that came to mind for some reason

Colt is back to shaking his head. "I can't believe this. I can't believe you—"
"You're angry."
"No, I'm not angry, I'm—I don't know what I am! I don't know how to feel. I don't know what to think. I mean, did you even tell Ry you were alive, before he…before he…?"
Six looks down at the ground, back up. The sun is creeping slowly towards the horizon, illuminating Ryland's carved head from behind. They're standing in his lengthening shadow, like he's stretching over them, wrapping his arms around them. When was the last time they were all together? "No."
Colt scrubs a hand down his face. He's shaking, just slightly, but to Six, it's like a trainwreck in slow motion. It's staring down the barrel of a gun and knowing you should've done things differently. "So he didn't know? He'll never know?"

Dan would never let Colt know he had no idea who or what Gracie was. None of the crew who had heard Colt talk about Gracie knew either. There's a running bet on Gracie, even.
The majority of the vote was that Gracie's a dog, though there's a hardcore group that's convinced Colt has a super sweet but nerdy sister.
When Ryder was alive, he swore that Gracie wasn't even a real person. Jody's old bet, from when she was a camera operator, was that Gracie's an ex of Colt's he never managed to recover from.
And Dan hadn't placed a bet because he's terrified Colt would learn of it and be sad when he realized Dan didn't know who or what Gracie was.

He still didn't get it though. Why was there a small group of Eridians that thought he was made up by "the government"? It's not like his biodome was some Area-51 analogue he was sequestered away in in secret. He got visitors! He'd made a public appearance with Rocky some time after he was no longer at risk of starving to death (he hated that part)! He even taught the pebbles now (he loved that part)!
