Summary
“It’ll all take some getting used to, probably, I think,” Colt comments, glancing towards Rocky. He can tell by the way he tilts that Rocky’s looking back at him. This is actually getting normal, God help him. “We can practice more at home.”
“Home,” Ryland echoes, taking his hand off the chair’s controls. “Geez. Home has— You know, home’s been Rocky and the Hail Mary for years now. It’s weird to be on— you know. Dry land.”
“The lonely sailor, lost at sea,” Colt sighs with a slight smile, teasingly dramatic.
“Grace not lonely, Grace not lost!” Rocky protests. “Grace have Rocky, statement! Rocky watch Grace sleep, protect Grace, bring Grace home to Earth.”
“You sure did, buddy, and I can’t thank you enough for it,” Colt replies.
or: Ryland is finally well enough to leave the facility and go home— or, for now, to move himself and Rocky into Colt's home.

Summary
“Will you tell me what happened?” Colt asks quietly, studying Ryland’s sleeping face. He wishes he would wake up and just look at him, but— but, until then, he’ll settle for talking to his— to Rocky.
“Grace come back for Rocky after return plan for Earth,” Rocky says. His translated voice feels like it’s coming from right beside him. “Grace not let Rocky die. Grace give life for Rocky life. Grace…” He makes a soft, sad chime of a sound. “Grace save Rocky. Grace save Erid, Grace brave, brave, brave, statement. Rocky love Grace. Rocky save Grace.”
“You did that?” Colt asks him, glancing sideways at Rocky. “You gave up everything, you— you gave up going home just to bring him back here?”
“Grace do same for Rocky.”
or: Colt's twin brother was taken from him and shot off into space without a chance to say goodbye. Over the years, piece by piece, he gets Ryland back.

Summary
“Grace tell Rocky thought, request.”
“I don’t know,” I say, and Rocky vibrates a loud trill at me, knowing better. “I just— What if I make a mistake?”
“Grace make many mistake, statement.”
“Thanks for the vote of confidence,” I grumble, kicking a little at the water trailing around my feet.
“Grace avoid meaning.” Rocky grabs onto the edge of my shorts, stopping me in my tracks. “Grace make mistake. Rocky make mistake, Adrian make mistake. Mistake make Grace Rocky Adrian grow, make learn.” He reaches up, presses one hand over my heart. The xenonite suit is so form-fitting that I can feel the shape of him. Still, I want more than anything to feel him. The mark on my arm burns with the need. “Grace love pebbles. Grace worry. Grace good parent. Grace not think too much. Perfect, perfect, perfect.”
“I’m not perfect, Rock,” I protest, even as tears spring unbidden to my eyes. I’ve been getting pretty used to this, honestly.
“Perfect not perfect,” Rocky answers.
or: Ryland Grace enjoys a day on the beach with his family.

Summary
If only Eva could see me now, shot off into space to save humanity and now I’m giving an alien hybrid children—
Oh, I never actually thought about that that way. These are the first interplanetary cross-species hybrid children ever— Well, that we know of.
We made a bunch of little Spocks.
I can’t help laughing at the thought, and the laughter continues, slightly hysterical, when Rocky reaches up to touch my face, stroking along my cheek, giving a worried, humming vibration.
“It just— We made them,” I say, wild with it. I feel like I’m losing my mind a little bit— as if it’s not already long, long since lost. “Us. We— How did we even do that?”
Rocky pauses, then asks, “Grace asking about egg-laying or—”
“No, I know how we did it—”
or: Ryland Grace is finally ready for Adrian and Rocky to remove the pebbles and welcome his family to the outside world. He should have expected a couple of bumps along the way.

Summary
“Listen, Adrian, Rocky, guys, I need you to do something for me,” I tell them. I can tell that they instantly shift their attention to me, focused in my direction, waiting for me. “If it comes down to it— You’ll save our babies, right? You’ll keep them safe?”
“Rocky protect family!” Rocky exclaims without hesitating. “Rocky keep safe, pebbles safe, safe, safe, statement.”
Adrian speaks a heartbeat later. “Grace mean if Grace die.”
Rocky stops instantly, whirling back towards me. “Grace will not die. Grace will not die, statement. No choice, no choice, no choice. Rocky choose family. Adrian choose family. Rocky Adrian choose Grace, choose— choose pebbles. Same time, statement. No choice, statement. Rocky fix. Rocky always fix. Promise, promise, promise.”
“But,” I try to say, “if there has to be a choice—”
“No choice, statement,” Rocky repeats, more forcefully this time.
or: Ryland Grace experiences a lot of bleeding and starts having contractions. Everyone panics in their own way.

Summary
Eva feels like the breath is knocked out of her lungs when the man walks in.
Dirty blond hair. Blue eyes. Sort of like… if Ryland Grace was hit by a car several times. It was undeniably him.
“So you’re Eva Stratt,” The man says gruffly, slamming both hands on her desk. He looked exactly like Ryland, it was terrifying. It felt like watching a ghost haunt her in real life.
“You’re the crazy woman that sent my baby brother up into space. Let’s talk, yeah?”
or
Colt Seavers finds out his twin brother was sent on a suicide mission. He does not take it well.

Summary
Trent Crimm might only recently be an independent journalist, but he's had no one to rely on but himself for far, far longer. And most days, it feels like he's barely keeping it together. So it only seems fitting that the conclusion to the worst period of his life is for the whole thing to go up in literal flames.
Luckily for Trent, help comes from a (not so) unexpected source.

Summary
“Sorry, what exactly is it you’re doing with Trent?”
“We are having ourselves a party.” Ted holds onto his backpack straps and hopes that answer is good enough, which of course it’s not. Rebecca’s office is where gossip goes to die, resuscitate, and die again.
“Of course, but when two unmarried men, one of them openly gay, decide to throw a party together for no reason, it does lead people to wonder if there’s an announcement around the corner.”
--
A lonely, lovesick Ted decides to throw a party.
