    Summary

    “You can't be serious?” Carl asks. 

    “I don't do jokes. And someone has to keep an eye on him.”

    He groans and runs a hand over his face.

    “But why me?” It won't only be him, he knows. He'll have his team with him, a few trusted agents who he has worked with for years (and who are currently sneakily accepting chocolate covered peanuts from the teacher.)

    But this still feels like a personal blow somehow. Did he do something wrong? Is this what he has been reduced to? A glorified babysitter for a scatterbrained teacher? 

    There is that half smirk on her face, the one that either enamors you or makes you shit your pants, depending on whether or not you are on her good side. 

    “You told him your name.” Her answer throws him and she can tell. He opens his mouth but she carries on. “Your real name.”

    ***********

    Carl is less than thrilled when he gets reassigned to babysit a teacher playing around with three dots in a glorified warehouse.
    But at least this job should be rather uneventful.

    Boring even.

    Summary

    “I wonder how things would be if we’d evolved on the same planet,” Grace says, leaning his forearms on his elevated knee. The one kept up by Rocky’s body. It puts even more weight on him, and Rocky feels the texture of Grace’s shoe through the xenonite, the bumps and ridges, the rocks and leaves stuck to the bottom. “You think we’d eat each other?”

    It takes every ounce of self control for Rocky to keep the noise he makes somewhat dignified. He kind of needs Grace to stop talking.

    /////

    Or: Rocky learns about persistence hunting, and it’s both the most terrified and the most aroused he’s ever been.

    Summary

    Everyone at Grover Cleveland Middle School knows Mr. Grace loves his wife. She's practically the only thing he talks about.

    So it's strange when rumors start that he's having an affair with the new principal, and even stranger when they seem to be true.

    Summary

    Grace is nervously, carefully learning to enjoy having Simon aboard the Hail Mary, he’s hopeful that Simon is starting to come out of his shell. He’s . . . Hopeful about a lot of things, things he probably shouldn’t be hopeful for.

    Or; Simon’s been carefully adjusting to his limited time on the Hail Mary, on account of this can only be his ‘7 minutes’ of brain activity before he dies.

    At least the angel sent to help him move on is as beautiful as they were said to be.
