    Summary

    What if Taumoeba never adapted to live inside xenonite, so Grace and Rocky both made it home, alone but safe and sound?

    Rocky arrives to rapturous fanfare. The Eridians get to work, not only on deploying the Taumoeba but on honoring the greatest hero... heroes in Erid history.

    18 years after the Hail Mary’s return, a listening post on Earth picks up a strong infrared signal from the fringes of the solar system. Humanity powers up its best Petrovascope and performs a sweep. It’s confirmed—a small blip, getting brighter and brighter.

     

    Or: the first interstellar "got home safe" text.

    Summary

    Athena never broke her sacred vows.

    Her daughter was born from her olive tree and Poseidon’s fountain, a child of wisdom and sea, created from competition, not from intimacy.

    But that didn't mean her father believed her.

    Summary

    Mindy Park is rapidly realising that the first intelligent extraterrestrial to make contact with the human race thinks they’re fucking stupid. She’s pretty sure that Dr Grace isn’t accurately translating half the things Rocky is saying, but most of what he is telling her is that Rocky has a better way of doing what NASA wants them to do, and honestly, it seems like Rocky is mostly right. She probably doesn’t want to know what the other half of what Grace’s new alien friend is saying, if the things that are making it through what she’s calling the “middle school teacher filter” are “why would you do something the dumb way when you could do it the right way”.

    or,

    Mindy has a headache, Grace has trauma, Mark is confused and Rocky is wondering how humans made it in to space when they're all so, so dumb.

    Summary

    Grace and Rocky arrive at Erid. While Grace is more than happy to be one-step further from death, he has yet to confront his very human brain about it. Memories of his time on earth, near-death experiences in space, and being suddenly surrounded by giant alien spiders is a recipe for disaster. Luckily, Rocky is there to help him every step of the way.

    or

    The Eridians have a lot to learn about their new alien roomate.
