    When Grace gets seemingly teleported by means unknown into the SM-13 right as it was nearing The Light, both Simon and Grace have no idea what is happening. Grace knows he was supposed to be in his house on Erid, Simon knows this new guy cannot possibly be a hallucination, and Ava, upon hearing Grace ramble about theories for how he got there, knows that new guy is Smart. Could-Secure-Our-Survival Smart.
    She orders Simon to bring Grace back to the surface, and thus begins Grace's ordeal in a starless universe.

    Summary

    There their hearts went again, clenching so hard it made them want to cry out.

    Because why did Mom never say this to them? Why did it have to be someone who could never be more important to them than a teacher?

    Why couldn’t Grace be their mom?

    “I’m not an actor.” Colt chokes out.

    “I know you’re not.” She says gently. Colt wished he was anywhere else but here.

    Summary

    The first thing Simon Fischer learned about saving humanity was that no one asked whether he wanted the job. They simply informed him he was the only engineer qualified to keep the Mary alive. Every propulsion system, environmental control, fabrication unit, air recycler, or electrical failure would be catastrophic. If something broke millions of miles from Earth, there would be no repair crew to call, no replacement parts waiting in a warehouse, and definitely no second chances. There would only be Simon.

    He'd argued, refused, and even pointed out there had to be someone else. There wasn't. The sun was dimming, and every calculation ended the same way: someone had to go. So Simon went.

    He hadn't expected to become humanity's last engineer, and he certainly hadn't expected to become friends with a mysterious scientist welded into a submarine.

    Summary

    “Our star, unto a special person, will bestow a gift,” my mothers lovely singing voice continued. “In the coldest of times, in despair and sorrow, when all hope seems to be lost, an entity will be birthed.”

    I gasped in excitement. “What kind of entity?”

    “Of light and luminance, airy and thin, ethereal in nature. A servant of the stars.”

    Aka, when Grace and Rocky reunite, Rocky tells Grace how he truly feels about him.

    Aka, Rocky being so mushy and sad and so utterly madly in love with Ryland Grace!
