    Summary

    Leaving Rocky was one of the most difficult decisions Ryland Grace would ever make, but now, Grace has a life ahead of him to fulfill, all because of Rocky.

    The journey home gives him a lot of time to think about his purpose. He thought he'd fulfilled it already. He found a solution to the Petrova Problem, like he was supposed to. But he also managed to, against all odds, return to a planet that already said its last goodbyes to him. Grace keeps coming back to the age-old question:

    Why?

    Eva Stratt, on the other hand, has had twenty-seven years of solitude to ponder a different, more complex question.

    Why must life continue, even when there is nothing left for you?

    To Eva, forgiveness is inconceivable. She is a murderer, a predator who took everything from its prey, and she will never forgive herself for it. She was put in prison for life. Her friends and family were stripped away from her as the world turned its back on her. She is a vague memory who will be painted as a villain in history and then inevitably forgotten.

    She would've never imagined that all of that would change after hearing that Ryland Grace miraculously returned to Earth and wants to talk to her.

    Summary

    Three years after the probes carrying Taumoeba and Dr. Ryland Grace's final message arrive on Earth, humanity launches an interstellar spaceship with a brand new mission. Thirty-six crew members (including two graduates of a certain San Franciscan junior high school) travel to the star 40-Eridani to make friendly contact with the Eridians and bring them the alien life form from Tau Ceti-E that can save their star if Dr. Grace's sacrifice failed.

    Grace, now fifty-seven years old, is just trying to balance his life as a teacher while no longer being the only human on the planet anymore. It's a big adjustment, but Rocky and the Terra's Grace crew are going to make sure he's well taken care of.

    Summary

    Adrian’s below us. A beautiful swirl of greens. With a view like that, I can only stay a little mad at it with the little “almost killed us” fiasco. Unfamiliar constellations and the arm of the Milky Way fill the rest of my view. I start panning my view closer to Tau Ceti when I spot it.

    It’s another Hail Mary.

    ------

    Grace and Rocky come across a parallel duo. (Multiverse / Human!Rocky and Eridian!Grace AU.)

    Summary

    The engineer takes my hand. His skin runs hot. Very hot. He doesn't let go at what I would gauge as a socially-acceptable handshake time interval. Are we just holding hands in the middle of the lab-workshop space? Guess we are.

    "I'm Rocky," he finally introduces himself. He has a hint of an accent, something lilting, melodic. I can't really place it.

    "Rocky," I repeat, slowly. "Like the movies?"

    "No," Rocky deadpans, giving me a look like I'm stupid. "Like the rocks."

    Summary

    “I think there has been some kind of misunderstanding,” Ryland said carefully, trying to regain some control over the situation. “I. Do not. Know you.”

    Tom paused mid step. He turned back to look at Ryland, a bemused smile settling on his lips. “You know, this bit is gonna get old eventually. You really should try something new.”

    “I assure you, this is not a bit.”


    When Tom Ryder mistakes Ryland for Colt, Ryland, unfortunately, mistakes Tom Ryder for a normal person. One who he just happens to keep bumping into. And who seems to keep flirting with him.

    Or: The one where Tom thinks he’s flirting with his boyfriend, Ryland thinks a stranger is hitting on him, and Colt realises neither of them are going to figure this out without adult supervision.
