Summary
“Earth spider animals are so beautiful and intelligent,” Teacher Grace said compassionately to Combustion-Fighter. A thrum of spider animals was going by on the street as it said this. “I wish there was a way I could talk to them and teach them about magnetism.”
That was called ‘foreshadowing.’Three Eridian kids try and write a romance novel about their teacher.

Atmosphere, Explained by cloudberryyy

Summary
When porcupinesarentreal said, "In a universe where Grace goes back to earth, he would absolutely kill it on Sesame Street,” but sage-rats commented: „Get this man a guest spot on Bill Nye the Science Guy.”
or
Back on Earth, Ryland Grace is invited onto Bill Nye the Science Guy to help explain air pressure, vacuum, and why the atmosphere matters.
It should be easy. It’s just science. Just a studio. Just a room full of kids, cameras, demo props, and one relentlessly enthusiastic host in a bow tie.
But between vacuum chambers, imploding cans, and one disarmingly simple audience question, Ryland finds himself talking about more than physics. About pressure. About fear. About what Earth gives you every second without asking for thanks.

Summary
“Oh my god, Rocky.” I want to cover my face with my hands, but I’m not about to let go of him. “You’re insatiable.”
“I’m insatiable?” He looms a little closer over my face, forcibly bringing himself back into my field of vision. The bright holodeck lights catch in the sweaty sheen of my skin. “I don’t feel arousal. I am in it for the love of the game.”
Or: Look, if the Eridian scientists want you to test out a technology that lets you and your bestie kinda sorta touch each other for real, are you even a proper scientist if you don't consider how it could be used for sex?

Summary
“Sleep. I watch,” he warbles from his post at the door. The first thing he’s said to me in hours. We haven’t talked about anything yet, aside from his pushing to prove I wasn’t hiding more contraband. I scowl at him.
“Don’t want to.” I feel like one of my kids with the level of petulance that seeps into my voice. I miss my kids. I miss having a place. I have a place here, I need to accept it’s just… Different. Still, I’m not gonna listen to Rocky right now.
Rocky grumbles at me. “Scientists say Grace hasn’t slept in 32.6 hours.” Jeez, has it really been that long? I don’t think I’ve had an all-nighter that bad since college. “Cognitive impairment begins after only 24. Bad decisions, dangerous thoughts like you mention. Why you are sick.”
“You left me.” I didn’t mean to say that. Too late.
or Grace is having a hard time adjusting to life on Erid, and it only gets worse when Rocky disappears. They work it out.

The waves washed over his shoes, soaking them through and leaving his feet uncomfortably damp.
… Wait. What?
Ryland looked up, confused, only to see someone else on the beach walking towards him. Someone who looked an awful lot like him.
Okay. So he was hallucinating.

Summary
“Do you think,” Grace says after a moment, suddenly quiet. “Do you think there’s other universes where we’re friends? Or did we just get really lucky in this one?”
That’s barely even a question. Rocky’s sure of it. In every universe where they meet, he’s certain they’ll become friends. He can’t imagine it otherwise.
or: a chat on a beach.

“Humans will pack bond with anything, y’know,” I say. “It’s actually kind of embarrassing.”
“Everything human Grace does is embarrassing. Need definition.”
“Pack bonding?”
“Yes.”
“Sharing affinity with and building collaborative relationships and even unbreakable bonds with other species or things. Human kids will humanize or anthropomorphize rocks and take them as pets, for example."
“Grace.”Or: Punch drunk midnight conversations aboard the Hail Mary.

Summary
“Adrian will understand,” Rocky says confidently. “Will be excited to meet alien. Will be excited to meet person who brought me home.”
“Yeah, and I'm excited to meet them too, but after that!” Is this a translation error? A cultural miscommunication? How is Rocky not getting it? “You're partners. They're not going to want some alien around while you're, like… going on dates and all that.”
“Does not mean no time for Grace.” Rocky’s starting to sound frustrated. Part of me feels bad, but the rest is just as frustrated. “Why think this, question? On Earth, just abandon friends when have mate, question?”
It's so clearly a rhetorical question, to which the answer is obviously supposed to be no, of course not. I freeze up anyway.

Summary
Ryland Grace wakes up in a small room alone, where the walls are wrong, his body is wrong, and there's a rock spider like nothing he's ever seen looming over him. He has no memory of how a middle school science teacher could've possibly ended up on an alien planet trillions of kilometers away from the nearest fellow human being- and yet these aliens seem determined to take good care of him.
/
The drug Grace was given to induce amnesia before going on the Hail Mary has unpredictable long-term side effects.

Summary
Relatively speaking, Grace and Rocky are both somewhat unusual. It brings them closer together.
Or: FtM Ryland Grace explains social constructivism to his genderless alien buddy (badly), Rocky decides he wants to be less genderless actually, and Grace and Rocky love each other in every universe.
