    Summary

    For three hours, he’s at the beach, takes off his socks and hikes Ilyukhina’s dress up, and stands in the water. He left the cane on the shore; it hurts to let his frame bear the brunt of gravity unsupported. The reliable tide, just cool enough to chill him a little, laps at his shins.

    He closes his eyes and tries to forget about himself, the familiar ache in his joints and spine. Allows himself to imagine something else.

    A different truth, a hypothetical, a thought exercise.


    Rocky can't bear to lose Grace. But he can bear to watch Grace wither away from a sickness easily cured by Earth medicine even less.

    Grace has to make another choice.

    Or: After thirteen years on Erid, Grace leaves his true home for Earth. Eva Stratt lives to see him return. Earth takes note of the changes.

    Summary

    “Baby,” Maxwell said, a smile curling her lips up. Not quite cruel, but just a hair edgier than friendly teasing.

    “Sweetheart,” said Jacobi, smirking at her over Eiffel’s bed as she drifted around the other side of it.

    “Darling,” she sighed, folding her hands near her face and pretending to swoon. “Come on—we're all pals here. This is what pals do, right? Talk about their crushes?”

    “You can’t be serious,” Eiffel said, looking at them with unabashed disbelief.

    “Dead serious,” said Jacobi.

    Summary

    In the back of the cupboard is an old box of recipe cards. It has been there for a very, very long time.
    Today, Lucretia uncovers it. And today, there are some who are perhaps ready to forgive.

    (Or: batches of brownies over the years, and their ability to bring people together again.)

    Summary

    “Proof of concept,” ♫♬♯♩♩♫ says. “We’ve tested it thoroughly to ensure it fits the specified nutritional profile, and several members of our team have ingested small amounts of it to ensure there were no adverse effects.”

    “You ate some of it?” I ask, rudely. I’m too irate to mind my language. Who do they think they are? That meat is for Grace. In a way, that meat is Grace.

    “Yes,” ♫♬♯♩♩♫ says. They and the rest of the human life support thrum know better than to be offended by my occasionally strange behaviour. “Obviously we weren’t going to risk the life of Honoured Grace on a completely untested technology.”

    That doesn’t mean much. There’s a lot of things that are safe for ingestion by Eridians that would outright kill a human.

    Trust Grace, I remind myself. He’ll have thought of all this.

    (OR: Grace's meburgers from the book epilogue. Let's talk about those!)
