    Summary

    A little over thirteen years after the Hail Mary launch, Eva Stratt is released from prison to assist the world’s bickering space agencies after a junior NASA technician spots an unidentified object near the orbit of Neptune. It appears to be on a direct collision course with Earth, and is moving so quickly it does not appear to be affected by any local gravitational forces, not even that of Sol. Oh, and one more thing—it seems to be slowing down.

    OR

    Captain Dr. Ryland Grace pilots the Hail Mary home long before (and long, long after) its mission is supposed to be complete. In their desperate venture beyond their solar system, humanity may have just accidentally unlocked a new chapter in interstellar physics.

    Summary

    It had been a long and difficult 27 years since the Hail Mary had launched. Not as terrible as it could have been, but not easy. Humanity had survived and adapted, as it always did. There had been terrible wars. There had been incredible acts of kindness. There had been massive scientific breakthroughs. And now, there were two distant blips of Petrova-light, picked up by the Deep Space Network, hurtling home. Two probes, braking hard as they hurtled toward Earth holding the secrets to its salvation. They were late, or at least, not very early, but they were here.

    Grace may have made his peace with dying to save Rocky, but Rocky insists they return to Earth.

    Summary

    Grace lives a long and happy life on Erid with his cluster-members Rocky and Adrian, until he passes at the age of 95. He wakes up to find himself back in his San Francisco apartment and has to face navigating the most difficult part of his life in a language he hasn't spoken in 60 years.

    OR; After finding himself in the past, Ryland Grace has to try his best to keep his head down and figure out what he wants to do with his second try at solving the Astrophage problem and returning to his family. He struggles with language barriers, culture shock, and worst of all: he never really recovered all of his memories from his first time on earth.

    Summary

    Fact 1 everyone on the carrier knows? that Ryland Grace does not 'do' relationships of the romantic or sexual variety (well, everyone except Lokken, but she's deluding herself a little bit).
    Fact 2 that everyone on the carrier knows? Eva Stratt is also yearning for her first officer, she's just a lot better at hiding it.
    Fact 3 that NO ONE on the carrier knows? They're all idiots. Except Yao. He totally saw this coming.

    Summary

    I don't want to die! Don't send me off to die! Please!
    The voice is faint, yet unmistakable. Sam, half asleep in the passenger seat of the Impala, jerks fully awake as a headache lances through his skull.
    "Sammy? You alright?" Dean glances towards him, a flicker of concern evident in his voice.
    "Yeah, I jus-" Carl, I can't do it. No! Don't do it! Ryland... his twin's voice is grating through his brain, dragging pins and needles with it. There's a flash of a yellow raincoat, men in soldier's uniforms, a fence, and his brother face-down in the grass.

    Then it's over.

    "Sammy?"

    "I think Ry's in trouble."
