    Summary

    Bad dreams suck. Grace wakes up from a nightmare of being on the Hail Mary, which is utterly impossible, but his throat hurts like he really did have a tube pulled out of it.

    Turns out, he wasn't the only one to have that dream. Which was even more impossible than him actually being on a ship that's not even fully built.

    aka A movie react fic where everyone sees the film in dreams.

    Summary

    Getting settled on a new planet has all kinds of ups and downs, Ryland Grace knows this. Eridian's are very different, not to mention simply their method of speech.

    Grace may have forgotten to mention that some forms of sound, sudden and sharp, are painful to humans. It never came up, and after nearly a year on Erid, it had sort of slipped his mind. Not to mention, being on a space craft for nearly five years must have brought an issue like this to light, but it seems that he and Rocky had just gotten lucky.

    The alternative, the pain of new sounds is discovered the hard way, with a bit too much blood as a result.

    Summary

    Three years after the probes carrying Taumoeba and Dr. Ryland Grace's final message arrive on Earth, humanity launches an interstellar spaceship with a brand new mission. Thirty-six crew members (including two graduates of a certain San Franciscan junior high school) travel to the star 40-Eridani to make friendly contact with the Eridians and bring them the alien life form from Tau Ceti-E that can save their star if Dr. Grace's sacrifice failed.

    Grace, now fifty-seven years old, is just trying to balance his life as a teacher while no longer being the only human on the planet anymore. It's a big adjustment, but Rocky and the Terra's Grace crew are going to make sure he's well taken care of.

    Summary

    The adrenaline wears off faster than Colt would have liked it to. Though he knew the crash was coming, he would have preferred it hold off until he and Jody could at least make it back to the hotel. He’d been having thoughts of a mattress that would welcome the shape of him, soft sheets and pillows that would aid in the bouts of pain that were sure to accompany days of strenuous movement and activity. He’d thought he’d maybe at least get to catch some of the sleep that had been eluding him since he’d touched down in Sydney.

    As luck would have it, Colt only makes it back to Jody’s trailer before he feels the familiar burn at the base of his spine.

    -----

    Post movie, Colt's injuries catch up to him.
