Summary
The door opens.
Claire chokes. Ryland is standing there in blue PJ pants and an oversized PBS t-shirt. He's rubbing his eyes, which are missing his glasses, which makes it even more obvious how similar they look. When his hand falls away, Six watches him process what is standing at his door. His eyes go from Six, down to Claire, then back up to Six.
He laughs, high and stressed, then closes the door in their face.
OR, Six needs help taking care of Claire after they break free from their respective jails. He decides that his younger brother Ryland Grace is the solution.

Summary
The man left his apartment at 7:14 every morning.
Not 7:10. Not 7:20. Seven-fourteen, the way a clock keeps time — without deciding to, without knowing it was being watched. Driver had started noting it the third week. By the fifth, he didn’t need to look at his phone anymore. He just knew. He’d be at his door with his coffee, stepping out to the shared landing for air, and the door at the end of the hall would open.

Summary
Grace slips up during a routine Q&A, causing a calamitous media fallout. Stratt won’t throw a drowning man a lifebuoy, and Grace spends 24 hours being carted around as an internet sensation. After his initial nerves lay off, he decides to stir the pot some more, experimenting with fashion and makeup to prove to his middle-schooler’s back in San-Fran that no bully should ever make you feel bad about how you present yourself to the world.
Or: Grace goes viral and wears skintight leather pants. Everyone wins.

Summary
Court stared at the ground. He could just kill her. He was already here. But doing that wouldn’t save his baby brother, couldn’t bring him back. It wouldn’t even be justified, because vengeance only really worked if someone tangible to you was hurt. Even if Court could hold a gun to her head and force her to turn the ship around, it wouldn’t matter.
Ryland didn’t even remember him.

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
“Who complained about you eating, question?” Someone must’ve said something. He’s had so many visitors in the last couple of days. Who was it? Grace has never questioned this part of himself. Grace huffs at me.
“No one! I’m just trying to be polite! Eridians have special soundproof eating rooms, shouldn’t I?”
“You are not Eridian!”
He doesn’t need to meet our standards; he’s his own species! Some things he might need to change in his daily life to adapt to Erid life, but his food habits don’t need to be one of them. My words don’t comfort Grace like I thought they would. Grace shrinks into himself, and I wish I were on his side to hug him.
or the Entities provide Grace with a culture teacher to prepare for life on Erid and he gets his first taste of Eridian inhospitality.

Summary
“Hey! It’s a lot up here, okay? It’s a normal response to stress.” He rubs a hand over his face. “Okay, I cried a lot down there, too. But not in class! Not if I could help it. But having to say goodbye, gosh, I’ve never been good at that.” Grace laughs, but it sounds sad. His mouth is shut firmly, and he leans against my ball. He’s so soft, his body melds to the side of the xenonite with ease. “I can’t imagine what a mess I’ll be when—” he cuts himself off, but I know what was coming next.
I’m not sure how I’ll be when we say goodbye either. It didn’t seem like it’d matter so much at first, after all, if we part ways, it means we succeeded. I’d be going back to Erid, to Adrian, to home. But I’d be leaving behind Grace. The thought of that is unpleasant. It sinks deep in me; the emotion is painfully familiar. It’s been a long time since I’ve had anyone to mourn losing anyone again. I don’t want to think about it, I’m not ready.
or 5 times Rocky feels something for Grace. 1 time he does something about it.

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
His brother sounds rushed and harried, and despite the knowledge that Ryland is always rushed and harried, it automatically puts Colt on edge. “Nothing bad, just–” Colt hears Ryland’s voice go muffled, like he covered the mic with his hand. He’s shouting over to someone that he’ll be back out in just a second. “–just, can you pick Court up?”
What? “Of course,” Colt says, “but I thought he was supposed to be at the park ‘til five?”
“Yeah, I just got a call from Sarah–she’s the one supervising–she told me that Court got hurt so she’d rather someone pick him up early.”
Following the absolute shitshow that was their father's death, Ryland is just trying to keep them afloat, Colt wants nothing more than to help, and Court is just trying his best to keep his head down.

Summary
There was one universal constant as far as drifting went: twin’s had the best compatibility.
Ryland? Ryland was not a pilot. He understood the situation, the threat, the stakes, everything that was on the line. But he was not a Jaeger pilot.
He looked at Colt, he knew Colt wouldn’t ask him directly. And wasn’t that really its own sort of asking?
Or
Colt just lost his co-pilot. That didn’t mean the danger stopped.

Summary
It’s the same now, with Ryland. Frozen like a prey animal caught in a trap, a frog paralysed with venom; his traitorous body still shaking like a mutt from the leftover adrenaline and the sudden, overwhelming terror that, once again, he has revealed the brutality of himself, the ugly violence comprising the foundation of who he is, to someone he cares for.
And once again, they will leave him for it.
Driver almost kills a man. Ryland watches.

Summary
The Hail Mary lands back on Earth carrying a middle school teacher and the alien microorganism that will save the world. Thousands of miles away, Eva Stratt watches her lead scientist kiss the ground through a grainy TV screen. Deep in prison with bruises littering her skin, she thinks it's all right that she'll die here, because humanity will persevere. Her job is done, so the rest of her life doesn't matter in the grand scheme. She deserves the hell she lives in.
Ryland Grace disagrees.

Summary
Grace didn't have much of anything these days. Less appetite, less strength, less of whatever it was that made a person reach for a disgusting coma food slurry bag and drink it down because it was necessary to live and do it all over again tomorrow because tomorrow existed and had things in it worth being alive for.
Or - Grace's mental health deteriorates on the journey to Erid.
