    Summary

    “Rocky not explain question?” asked Adrian slowly.
    “Busy,” said Rocky, sheepish.
    “Had four years on ship.”
    “Busy then too.”
    Adrian skittered back and forth, which I think equated to a human throwing both hands up in exasperation. “With what question?”
    “Science!”
    “Whole time science question? Four years!”
    “Is much science in universe!”

    --

    Rocky has neglected to explain some very important cultural context to Grace.

    Summary

    I snort. "Yeah, got me there. I'm old, okay? Just give me a second."

    A handful of moments pass. Then, "How old, question?" Rocky asks.

    I open my mouth, and then I realize exactly what I just walked into.

    Summary

    In their complete shock, Adrian thinks they can be excused for missing another presence on that ship before they were almost pounding on the ship's door. But when they did notice, they froze in their tracks.

    Bipedal. Almost completely organic. Two front-facing, predator-like light detectors. Descriptions flashed through their head, descriptions that are only known through dead bodies because no Galactic Collective agent would dare go near them alive.

    It's a human.

    Rocky is trapped in a ship with a human.

    Summary

    “What are you talking about?” Grace's fingers played quick chords as he spoke. He didn’t even look as he did it, but it did not make them any less purposeful.

    “Discussing possible reasons why Tau Ceti is not infected while other stars are,” Eva replied deftly. “I would invite you to join, but we were just finishing—”

    “Oh, that’s easy.” His hand twisted a knob, and the notes came out sharper. “It is infected—Petrova Line and everything.”

    In Grace's opinion, dreaming about time traveling is no excuse for getting out of practice with his Eridian. To the rest of the Petrova Taskforce, it seems a bit odd that their resident Astrophage expert has suddenly taken to carrying a keyboard around and playing it whenever he speaks. Eva Stratt resolves to figure out what is going on.

    Summary

    Eva Stratt has never been a woman who hesitates.

    She’s made countless decisions after decisions throughout her life, often regardless of the consequences that may result. She’s not an idiot. She’s well aware that there will be consequences, and she’s equally sure that the consequences will be of little concern. The end justifies the means — her actions will be judged, but at least they will have happened.

    But here, alone in a Russian conference room, for once in her life Eva Stratt does not know what to do.

    OR; The beetles make it home.

    Summary

    It's not jealousy. Adrian is adamant about that. They are actually insisting that it’s not any emotion at all. Not even dislike. They are simply completely uninterested in anything that concerns “the human”. 

    Rocky believes them. Adrian has always been the level-headed one out of the two of them. They are too logical to be jealous. They acknowledge that Grace and Rocky have a special bond after everything they went through together and also understand that none of that will ever pose a threat to their relationship. 

    Neither are they heartless or ungrateful. They know that Grace is the only reason that Rocky is back at all, the only reason their star has stopped dying. Adrian has told Rocky again and again that they are grateful and happy and wish the alien no ill will. They even helped with the construction of the biodome.

    And yet they have no desire to get to know Grace. 

    **************

    You know those videos where the dad is like "You may keep the cat but I will have nothing to do with it" and a few days later they are smothering the kitty with cuddles and love?

    Adrian never stood a chance.

    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.

    Summary

    “Uncle Grace!” a chorus of little voices rang out across the beach.

    Chuckling, Grace closed his laptop after finishing class for the day as the last of his students filtered out of the classroom of their side of the xenonite divider. He stuffed his hands in his cardigan pockets and turned around to see the triplets scurrying across the sand in their xenonite suits towards Grace. Just a little further behind them, their elder sibling was moving at a more leisurely pace.

    “Well, if it isn’t my little wonders,” Grace joked, sauntering over.

    “You flatter me.”

    Grace shakes her head. “I— I really don’t mean to.”

    “But you do.” Adrian insists. “You name planet that saved the universe after me. You name planet that seeded all life after me… now you tell me that I am something humans would like to adorn themselves with?”

    Summary

    Something was standing above his towel.

    No… someone.

    They seemed to be observing the towel, claws tapping against the material with what he took as curiosity, pinching it between the appendage.

    Was it Rocky? It’d make sense, the Eridian would certainly have something harsh to say about him leaving his stuff laying around. He always had some mean quip to insult his shoddy human memory.

    He opened his mouth to defend himself before Rocky could say something snappy, when the figure then moved, stocky legs rising from beneath their carapace and lifting them to their full standing height.

    They were tall. Too tall.

    That wasn’t Rocky.

    OR

    Grace receives an unexpected visitor one night in his home on Erid.

    Summary

    "Soulmates are a concept," Ryland hisses lowly. When half the class glares at him, he shrinks behind his notebook. Not quiet enough, whoops. "My opinion on red threads and the concept of soulmates doesn't reflect how I feel about people in my present life."

    Maya, befuddled, scrunches her nose. "But your soulmate is someone in your life."

    No, they aren't. Because he doesn't have one.

    Ryland Grace doesn't have a red thread. He finds love anyway.
