    Summary

    The journey to Erid was long and tedious, despite Rocky's best efforts to abate the boredom, four years with only a bossy rock for company is enough to drive anyone insane.

    Upon arrival, sick and malnourished, Grace expects to be met with confusion and fear from the eridians, demands for explanations, and a long and drawn-out process to create living conditions for him.

    What he does not expect to find is another human, comfortably living at the eridians' best recreation of an apple orchard and fiercely attached to Rocky’s mate, Adrian.

    Summary

    "Whoaaaa" Grace couldn't help but rush out, like a little kid seeing the museum for the first time. Endless fascination for everything he didn't understand as it was demonstrated right before his eyes.

     

    Also like a little kid, Grace got antsy after the first few seconds.

     

    "How long is this supposed to take?" Grace ignored how whiney he sounded as he asked. It didn't stop him from tacking on a childish; "Ugh!"

     

    "Collector should be here soon," Rocky responded at the same time the impact of the collector's collision with the winch forced another sound out of Grace.

     

    "Got it, its here!" Grace cheered, and he moved towards the winch now that the xenonite chain was no longer moving at approximately three times the speed of sound.

     

    "Amaze! Amaze! Amaze!"

     

    Something else hit the ship.

     

    — or; a story in which the light Simon dies for is the same one guiding the Hail Mary as she goes fishing

    Summary

    Disaster strikes the Hail Mary on its way back to Earth. The taumoeba escape their breeding tanks, and make it to the fuel lines. Stranded in space just outside the Tau Ceti system, Dr Ryland Grace can't do anything. He can't go save Rocky, he can't go save Earth. Exhausted, out of options, and distraught, he fills the ship with nitrogen, and takes his final breath.
    Next thing he knows, his eyes flutter open in his San Francisco apartment. It's a year before ArcLight touches down on Earth, but he remembers the Petrova Task Force.
    He's not the only one.
