Summary
Grace. A short, grating sound. A word, not a name. A word that used to be associated with [Adrian]. Potential suitors had called their measured bearing and smooth songs graceful. Visitors to [Adrian] and [Rocky]'s home called [Adrian] a gracious host. Everybody said that [Adrian] handled their mate disappearing into space for [fifty-four years] with grace.
Now, their mate has returned with Grace. -

Summary
The planet 40 Eridani a b is approximately sixteen point three light years away. She checked. It’s actually a very popular Google search these days.
He keeps having these dreams about a person with no face. It's on the tip of his tongue, really.

Summary
"Homeopathy,” Neil corrected. “It’s some natural medicine thing, it’s all herbs and stuff, but here’s the brilliant part. They’re diluted like a hundred times until it’s basically just water. You’re literally selling people nothing.”
Billy thought that sounded extremely stupid. Surely people could tell if the supposed medicine they were being sold did nothing. But he couldn’t say no to Neil. There was something about his face— even when you knew he was trying to play you, part of you felt like it might be a good idea to let him. Just to see what happened next.

Summary
Goodsir had watched him with an expression somewhere between distaste and pity. “Would it not be worth it, to finally be free of the devil?”
The beast would still be hunting us all, Sol had thought, and what’s one devil dead when that thing can tear a man’s soul from his body—“He’s not the devil,” Sol had said. “There’s far worse than Cornelius Hickey tracking us.”
A strange look came over the doctor, and he had again reached for the poison. “Very well then, Sergeant. I’ll dispatch of one devil for you, if you finish the other.”

Summary
It took a few rings for Tozer to pick up. “Hello?” he said a little gruffly. “Who’s this?”
“It’s Billy Gibson,” Billy said, heart pounding so hard they could feel it in the back of their throat. They prayed Tozer wouldn’t just hang up on them immediately. “You know, Cornelius’ husband?”
“I know who you are,” Tozer said. “What do you want?”
Billy winced, and ran a hand through their hair. They hadn’t really planned this far ahead. “I don’t know, I just figured maybe we should talk.”

Summary
Billy and Cornelius did not meet under the best of circumstances, and neither of them had been their best selves yet. For one thing, Billy had still identified as a man, though without much conviction. Cornelius, meanwhile, had been working a rotating range of mostly-legal odd jobs, all of which he hated.
They had met in a club in London. Cornelius had found his attention repeatedly drawn to the delicate wrists and distinguished cheekbones of one specific person drinking at the bar. But he had more urgent priorities that night. So he had given this long-limbed, flat-arsed stranger a discerning glance, and decided to try and lift his wallet. He was a bit out of practice, but it was right there, in his back pocket, and he needed the cash.
(This is the real and indisputably true story of how Billy Gibson and Cornelius Hickey fell in love.)

Summary
Billy had never thought of himself as the caretaking type. His mother hadn’t lingered prior to her death, and he’d planned to be well away at sea long before his father ever entered his dotage. Let that be a burden for his sisters to manage, or his father’s young new wife.
It was different when it was Cornelius, though.

Summary
Hickey must’ve seen the pots, before he ever entered Henry’s tent. No matter; Henry’s seen the spring in his step. “What? You thought you had a monopoly on horrors, Mr. Hickey?”
Hickey’s response comes slow once more. His gaze, Henry is starting to suspect, is considering. “I thought I had a monopoly on good sense.”
Or: two reasonable men at the end of the earth.

Summary

Mark S. returns to work after the stroke.

Summary
Mark never learned how to take care of the plants. It wasn’t really something he’d thought much of. He’d glanced at Gemma spritzing the leaves, and sometimes, he’d been in the room while she trimmed or repotted them when they were ready. To him, she possessed some sort of connection to them that he didn’t understand. She had some mystical knowledge about what they needed and when they needed it. She was a caretaker.
He is not.
