    Summary

    Ryland Grace doesn't understand why Stratt is so worried about letting him (i.e. forcing him to) speak at this UNESCO conference. Sure, the LAST time he did that wasn't exactly universally appreciated, but he'd been to hundreds of Eridian conferences since then. He's pretty sure he remembers how to present in English. The Public Speaking Extracurricular Thrum that his pebbles started would be so proud of him!

    or

    Thanks to Dr. Grace's scientific advancements both before and especially after his time travel, it would look suspicious if Stratt DIDN'T send him to the UNESCO conference to share his findings with the field. But that means letting him loose in the world for a few days. There are other people out there. Mein Gott, she can feel the headache forming already.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Starting or entering a thrum is typically a conscious decision, but in times of high emotion they can start spontaneously. Pebbles especially often at least put out the invitation to thrums when experiencing intense emotions. A lot of the time, the call to thrum is not answered- for example, if a child is upset at losing a game of 🎵🎶🎵-🎵🎶🎵and is having an outburst that the other children do not engage with- or else a parent or guardian may answer it and conduct a small, spontaneous thrum to help their child learn to control and manage their emotions. A particularly good performance may occasionally result in a spontaneous thrum between spectators if the story is particularly exciting or emotional for the audience, but this is rare as it is generally considered impolite to initiate a thrum in a public space without prior arrangements, especially if it may interrupt an ongoing event, although some parts of Erid looked more favorably upon it than others. Grace once compared it to the social attitude around cheering or making noise in a ‘movie theater’ or other public space- it differs across cultures.

    Summary

    Ryland Grace kept his joint pain a secret for more than a decade from almost everyone. But his jaw is out of place now, and he's hurtling towards a planet with twice the gravity he's used to, and trouble is on it's way.

    “Rocky, you know I wear special clothes sometimes.”
    “Yes, culture.”
    “They’re not cultural. I have something wrong with my joints. So I hurt all of the time, and sometimes my joints pop out of place.”
    Rocky’s full attention was on me, his hands even still for once. “When Grace wear special clothes, you hurt. You hurt today. But you no hurt for reason.”

    Book and film canon variable, leaning more to book canon but sharing both based on what I felt like. Spoilers for everything.

    “Skits will win,” Skittles said, “Even if legs not work right this way. Uncle Grace, how you live, question?!”

    Grace snorted. “Your dad is stubborn.”

    “Grace survive through luck,” Rocky said, “Good and bad. Also Rocky will not let Grace die before old. Very very very old.”

    “Uncle Grace never die,” Mary said with an indignant gasp, “No talk sad.”

    Summary

    Ryland Grace does not enjoy keeping secrets, and now he doesn't have to- yay! He's sharing his feelings and bonding with his team; the Mental Health Thrum will be so proud of how well he's following their advice. He misses home but he's actually having a pretty good time while they prepare for launch.

    or

    Ryland Grace was weird when he was (badly) trying to keep his time travel a secret. Surely he'll be more normal now that he doesn't have to dance around the truth? Oh fuck, he's WEIRDER?

    Ryland Grace is not going to be one of those *crazy* time travellers. He has more sense than that. He can totally fix things and get back home and nobody will ever be the wiser. The Acting thrum would be so proud of how well he is pulling this off right now.

    or

    Ryland Grace is a time traveller. He's also the world's smartest idiot. The rest of the team on the Vat is totally gonna let him fix things, but honestly, how stupid does he think they are?

    Eva Stratt's silly little science man has picked up a pack of weirdos he's bonded with in space. Eva Stratt does NOT like sharing. Neither does Rocky. The silly little science man just wants to eat pancakes, not go to the doctor, and have his family get along. He only gets about 1.5 of those things.

    Is tradition!” Olesya declared as she steamrolled right over his protests, putting her hands together and closing her eyes. “Hail Mary, full of Grace, we thank our lord Sappho for our ace in space. Blessed be the lesbians, and may Stratt have mercy on us all, amen!”

    Summary

    Hours later, Rocky wriggles awake. The pain has eased. His heartbeats have slowed. His cells are still functioning. There is no falling apart. He can hear the scritch-scratch of his five claws on Xenonite. He can hear the machines, humming their false song. He can hear the silent expanse of space. The distant stars. His friends, dead in the hull. And the building feeling, deep in every cell — every fibre of his body — that something is so incredibly wrong.

    Rocky knows this disease. Exhaustion. And all alone in space, there is no cure.

    It is a primal requirement that Eridians sleep only under the trusting gaze of their companions. Rocky spends forty-six years alone in space.

    Summary

    “Shut it, Abby, you’re gonna wake him up!”

    Grace buries his head deeper into the crook of his elbow, desperate to get a few more minutes of sleep, the movement elicits the noise of giggling from the room around him. His brain doesn’t register anything strange about the sound, until he remembers that he’s supposed to be in the middle of space. Space, where Grace should be completely alone, and Rocky should be well on his way back to Erid.

    He jolts upright, suddenly far more awake. The quiet giggling erupts into full blown laughter, and Grace suddenly realises that he’s in his classroom, and the students laughing at him are the same ones he last taught fifteen years ago.

    Son of a biscuit.

    He’s on Earth again.

     

    Or

     

    Ryland Grace gets sent back in time and finds that getting launched into space is a lot harder when you aren’t being dragged there against your will.

    Summary

    Very gently, Rocky turns himself so his injured arm is right up against the xenonite. He keeps it in his brace constantly, tucked under his carapace, so I've barely seen it at all. Looking at it now, the discolouration has spread a lot and part of it's just…gone. Like when acid eats away at metal. I kind of want to throw up.
