    Summary

    Ever since he was a kid, Ryland had seen the red strings of fate tied to other people. The ones between his childhood friends, the ones between strangers in grocery stores and shopping malls, and the ones from everywhere around. It was one more way he was reminded that the universe had them under its palm, literally on puppet strings.

    However, the existential fear didn't stop him from wondering why:

    1. His string was yellow, not red, and
    2. Why was his string flying directly up into the sky??

    Summary

    Apparently this was all the jostling that the man needed to wake back up. He gnashed his teeth, growling, “Who are you? Where’s Ava!”

    Grace tried to pull backwards but the man grabbed his shirt, “Stratt? She’s not here!”

    The man stilled somewhat, “What?” He asked.

    Grace regained his balance, “Eva Stratt. It’s her mission, right? She’s not here. I’m Ryland Grace, I’m here to help you.”

    ———

    Just before he dies to the Blood Ocean, Simon appears in the Hail Mary's airlock while Grace is holding his crew's funeral. The crew is back at the correct headcount with a scientist, an engineer, and a pilot, but none of them were originally meant to be on this ship, and Grace still hasn't gotten around to telling anyone it's a one-way trip for the humans. Grace counts his victories in unraveled scientific mysteries, while Simon counts his in getting Grace to swear.

    Summary

    Adrian’s below us. A beautiful swirl of greens. With a view like that, I can only stay a little mad at it with the little “almost killed us” fiasco. Unfamiliar constellations and the arm of the Milky Way fill the rest of my view. I start panning my view closer to Tau Ceti when I spot it.

    It’s another Hail Mary.

    Grace and Rocky come across a parallel duo. (Multiverse / Human!Rocky and Eridian!Grace AU.)

    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.

    Summary

    Disaster strikes the Hail Mary on its way back to Earth. The taumoeba escape their breeding tanks, and make it to the fuel lines. Stranded in space just outside the Tau Ceti system, Dr Ryland Grace can't do anything. He can't go save Rocky, he can't go save Earth. Exhausted, out of options, and distraught, he fills the ship with nitrogen, and takes his final breath.
    Next thing he knows, his eyes flutter open in his San Francisco apartment. It's a year before ArcLight touches down on Earth, but he remembers the Petrova Task Force.
    He's not the only one.

    Summary

    Rocky knows that Grace is considered an adult for his species, but his hindbrain goes crazy when he finds out he’s in his 30s. So that’s why he’s been feeling weirder than normal. His alpha instincts think Grace is a pebble.

    Summary

    Ryland scrambles upright and jams an accusing finger in Rocky and Adrian’s directions. “You want to Avatar me into an Eridian body!?”
    “No, silly Grace.” Adrian replies cooly, with the Eridian tonal equivalent of an eyeroll, “We want to Avatar ourselves into human bodies."

     

    Grace is yearning for a real, human touch, on a planet where the atmosphere will kill him. Luckily, Rocky and Adrian aren't ones to give up, even on a problem as seemingly impossible as this.

    Summary

    “We call this ♪♫.”

    “The color or the rock?” I tease, earning myself a low staccato noise not unlike what a human might sound like when faking a laugh.

    And then, from one second to another, he straightens. I sense the shift in the air, and as I rise from my squat, Rocky's gaze follows me very, very slowly.

    “What?” I ask.

    “Say name of this again,” he says, and I tilt my head. He’s never needed me to repeat something before. His hearing is immaculate, and he’s never once forgotten something I’ve told him.

    “It’s a rock.”

    He doesn’t move. He stares at me with his featureless face until even that feels more unsettling than eye contact.

    “Grace,” he says flatly. “You are fucking kidding me, question?”

    Summary

    Humans, I decided a long time ago, are absurd. But the strangest thing about them, I think, isn’t their inclination to share meals together (disgusting) or their constant need for sleep. Not even their inability to properly speak. No, I decided long, long ago. The worst part about humans is their determination to throw themselves into places where they aren’t meant to be.

    (Or, Rocky thinks Grace is drowning. Unfortunately for Grace, he isn’t.)
