    Summary

    The humans threw Grace away. Grace, who worked so hard to save them, who came back for Rocky when he realized the taomoeba would eat through Rocky's ship. Grace, who gave up his chance to go home to save Erid too.

    And then Rocky finds out exactly how Grace ended up in space.

    They're not giving him back now. Grace will always have a place on Erid where he's beloved and cherished the way he should be, even if it takes Grace a while to believe he's worth that. Rocky may or may not have plans to fix up the Hail Mary for the trip back anyways- there were a few things they wanted to say directly to Stratt's face.

    Summary

    “Welcome, everyone! Please settle down and let us start. ” Commander Novag, a medium-sized, smooth eridian, boomed. Their voice was without a doubt the most imposing, carrying a song of authority and power, with deep base notes.
    “I have been informed by navigator Polius that there is a foreign body heading towards our ship.” At that, most eridians started chittering and fidgeting, singing notes of fear, anxiety.

    “Foreign body?! What does that mean, question?”
    “Can’t we just navigate away, question?"
    “So it’s an asteroid.”
    “Is it dangerous, question? What do we do, question?!”
    “We should not let fear invade our inner thoughts- let us focus and think, not about the bad, but about the opportunity this shall grant us. Everything is but a test that we should take in stride with wit and-”
    “Oh, honk the hell up!”
    “Excuse me-?!”
    Honk- scratch, screech!

    “So, how do we deal with it, question?”
    “I say we investigate, statement.”

    Or, how eridians actually discovered radiation before going to save their sun, and Rocky's crew didn't die.

    Summary

    After saving humanity alongside an alien engineer named Rocky, Ryland Grace never expects to survive long enough to see Erid—let alone become part of it.

    Exhausted, isolated, and carrying the quiet grief of losing Earth, Grace arrives on an alien world that should feel impossibly foreign. Instead, he finds himself drawn into the strange warmth of Eridian life: blunt honesty, communal care, relentless scientific collaboration… and Adrian, Rocky’s fiercely intelligent bonded partner, who takes one look at the worn-out human and decides he’s far too fragile to be left unsupervised.

    While Erid races to save its dying sun alongside their newest human scientist, Grace slowly discovers something he never expected after the Hail Mary mission:

    A home.

    Caught between astrophage research, cultural misunderstandings, accidental adoption by alien engineers, and an entire civilization determined to keep him alive despite his own terrible survival instincts, Grace learns that family is not always the one you are born into—

    Sometimes it is the one that chooses you across the stars. 💛

    Summary

    Every screen in the room blazed with the same breaking news feed. An alien voice had just asked for him by name on live television.

    “Mr. Grace?” little Jamal whispered from the front row, eyes huge behind his glasses. “Is that really you they’re talking about? Like, you you?”

    Ryland’s mouth opened, but nothing came out. His heart slammed against his ribs like it wanted to escape and hide under the desk with the class hamster. He was just Mr. Grace. The guy who drew cartoon planets on the board, who stayed late helping kids glue together messy dioramas of the solar system, who once spent an entire lunch period comforting a sobbing girl because her goldfish had “gone to the great fishbowl in the sky.” He graded spelling tests on vocabulary words like photosynthesis and asteroid. Aliens did not know his name. Aliens did not ask for science teachers.

    The marker slipped from his fingers and clattered to the floor.
