    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

    Ryland Grace is human. He’s strange to the Eridians for a whole host of reasons, and not just because he’s leaky, or immodest with eating, or that he can apparently see colors. He says and does a lot of things that seem made up.

    Summary

    Kisuke wasn't quite sure what to expect when his captain sent him to investigate the strange reports about a non-violent Hollow stalking about the Rukongai, but the idea itself was enough to garner his interest. If only he knew how vast the spiderweb he was stepping into would grow as a result. -Story begins prior to Kisuke becoming captain of the 12th-

    Summary

    The Void offers Lace peace. Acceptance. An end to the endless performance. All she has to do is let go.

    Hornet has no patience for gods, and less still for the God-Eater that dwells below all things, but she will not stand by while the kingdom crumbles—and with it, the silk-spun demigod who fought to spare her from being strung to serve.

    This one, the dark shall not take.

    Summary

    “I think little humans love you,” Rocky says. “Must. You are—”

    He hesitates, thinking.

    “Need word. Love very much, but not person. Love thing. Love doing. Need nothing else.”

    He has a way of working his limited vocabulary into just the right order. I turn to look at him like a starving animal that’s just been offered food, crumpling under how warm it makes me feel.

    “Passionate,” I say weakly. Rocky sings the Eridian word, a multi-layered crescendo of chords that each seem to pour into the next, one by one by one. “I guess I am.”

    Rocky gestures with a chain link he’s picked up, getting back to work. “Everything you do, you are focused. Work work work. You teach me language. You teach me human ways. No give up until problem is solved. No rest until stupid. Passion.”

    “Darn,” I say, for lack of more intelligent words. Rocky briefly looks up from his chain.

    “What, question?”

    “I never thought about it like that.”

    /////

    Or: With nothing to do besides putting together a chain one link at a time, Grace and Rocky find time to have a moment.

    Summary

    Something was standing above his towel.

    No… someone.

    They seemed to be observing the towel, claws tapping against the material with what he took as curiosity, pinching it between the appendage.

    Was it Rocky? It’d make sense, the Eridian would certainly have something harsh to say about him leaving his stuff laying around. He always had some mean quip to insult his shoddy human memory.

    He opened his mouth to defend himself before Rocky could say something snappy, when the figure then moved, stocky legs rising from beneath their carapace and lifting them to their full standing height.

    They were tall. Too tall.

    That wasn’t Rocky.

    Summary

    “Uncle Grace!” a chorus of little voices rang out across the beach.

    Chuckling, Grace closed his laptop after finishing class for the day as the last of his students filtered out of the classroom of their side of the xenonite divider. He stuffed his hands in his cardigan pockets and turned around to see the triplets scurrying across the sand in their xenonite suits towards Grace. Just a little further behind them, their elder sibling was moving at a more leisurely pace.

    “Well, if it isn’t my little wonders,” Grace joked, sauntering over.

    Summary

    Every screen in the room blazed with the same breaking news feed. An alien voice had just asked for him by name on live television.

    “Mr. Grace?” little Jamal whispered from the front row, eyes huge behind his glasses. “Is that really you they’re talking about? Like, you you?”

    Ryland’s mouth opened, but nothing came out. His heart slammed against his ribs like it wanted to escape and hide under the desk with the class hamster. He was just Mr. Grace. The guy who drew cartoon planets on the board, who stayed late helping kids glue together messy dioramas of the solar system, who once spent an entire lunch period comforting a sobbing girl because her goldfish had “gone to the great fishbowl in the sky.” He graded spelling tests on vocabulary words like photosynthesis and asteroid. Aliens did not know his name. Aliens did not ask for science teachers.

    The marker slipped from his fingers and clattered to the floor.

    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.

    Rocky has called Grace stupid hundreds of times, but now that they're no longer in crisis mode, Rocky's beginning to suspect that stupid isn't the right word.

    Or: words have connotations, and Grace needs to be a teacher outside of his usual subject.
