    Summary

    What if Yao and Ilyukhina's souls never left the Hail Mary? What if they couldn't move on to the next life until all three of them could go together? The two of them and two other little fallen starfarers watch over Grace as he completes the mission. Grace can't see them. How will they react to meeting 22 aliens who also passed on the journey to Tau Ceti who now also are watching over their last surviving crewmate? And what news will come from two other fallen friends once the ship enters orbit?

    Summary

    [Takes place pre-Identity Reveal] Daredevil and Spider-Man investigate a HYDRA splinter cell in Queens. When a recreated Zola prototype tears open a dimensional rift, the resulting incursion draws the attention of the Avengers, forcing Matt to navigate his first real battle alongside the team… including one very large variable he’s only ever heard about on the news.

    [Can be read stand-alone; context/details in tags & A/N]

    In #13 “The Measure of a Life”, the fic mentions that it's been 8mo since the previous fic (#12 “The Measure of a Man”) & that he’s worked with the Avengers 3x since then—including “a messy interdimensional incursion in Queens”. This is that story.

    Summary

    Shane approaches the window slowly. He’s not on Earth. He’s very much not on Earth.

    He’s adrift in deep space, surrounded by an utter ocean of stars. It’s nothing like the view from Earth. He can tell exactly how far away every lonely flickering ball of gas is, and they’re very, very far away.

    On his left, a series of monitors come to life, one displaying a map.

    “You have arrived at Tau Ceti. Engine shutoff in 5 days, 13 hours, and 23 minutes. Current distance from Earth: 11.9 light years.”

    Fuck. He’s so fucked.

    When Shane finds himself in outer space, missing all his memories and armed with strict orders to solve the scientific conundrum threatening to extinguish all of humanity, he doesn't quite know where to begin. Good thing he's met a rock-shaped alien who might be able to help him... in more ways than one.

    Summary

    "There’s something out there.

    It shouldn’t be possible, but my eyes aren’t lying to me right now. I don’t think, anyways.

    There’s an actual Blip-freaking-D right out there. Floating in space. Menacingly.

    Mary isn’t glitching. I feel like I might be sick."

    OR

    En route to Erid, the Hail Mary picks up a signal from an unknown object. It turns out to be a ship– an impossibly HUMAN ship, nearly 12 light-years away from anywhere that might make sense. Curiosity kills the cat, Grace and Rocky get a little bit more than they bargained for, and the Hail Mary might just have a new crewmate.

    If he lives, that is.

    Summary

    Grace insegna alle scuole medie e ama il suo lavoro e i suoi piccoli tornadi di energia, Simon invece è uno streamer con un seguito mediamente elevato; in qualche modo i loro mondi si sono incontrati, quindi rendiamoli felici (almeno qua) (forse).

    or.

    Devo riprendere la mano con la scrittura e lo farò con la mia ossessione, prima di provare qualcosa di più "serio" su di loro.

    Summary

    Grace is awoken by a frantic Rocky. The ship, on its way to Erid suddenly stopped accelerating. There aren't any stars left to navigate.

Before they know it they are docked to the C.O.I. station, helping to figure out The Quiet Rapture. Simons voice fills the room and Grace and Rocky ask themselves what they signed up to, who is that mysterius voice and why does Ava look guilty everytime the hear him.

    Summary

    On the way to Erid, the Hail Mary suddenly came to a halt and began a regular orbit.

    Well, irregular by all means—because it had entered into a binary system orbit of sorts, travelling around the same barycentre as a submarine dubbed the "Iron Lung" by its sole occupant, Simon.

    Meaning Dr. Grace and Rocky were presently stuck in the middle of space burning fuel until they could figure out how to get the engines back up and running.

    Summary

    Working together was never supposed to become personal.
    But somewhere between late nights in the lab, the dangerous field research in the nearby village, and the whispered conversations about morality neither of you should be having, the line between scientific partnership and something far more dangerous begins to blur.
    And in a place built on control, devotion, and infection, caring about someone may be the deadliest mistake of all.

    Summary

    I was asleep when it happened. I'd woken up without my meories on a suicide mission to save the sun and met and tentitivly befriended an alien(!!) this past month. My life was already going crazy.

    So why wouldn't a blood covered person appear out of nowhere on my ship. And oh boy, its a kid the age of my students. What could possibly go wrong?

    Summary

    Dr. Ryland Grace saved two worlds and, against all odds, lived. He has a nice life now. He teaches kids, helps run atmospheric research for a species that can’t perceive light, and lives inside a bubble on a planet that would crush and cook him simultaneously if it got the chance. Which is fine. He’s qualified for all of those things.

    The things he is not qualified for, however, include: planetary malfunctions of cosmic proportions, trauma surgery, and falling for a one-armed ex-convict who swears more in five minutes than Ryland has in his entire life.

    The universe, as usual, did not check his résumé.

    Summary

    Several years after choosing to live the rest of his life out with Rocky and Adrian, Ryland Grace's body is quietly failing under the brutal 2.12G gravity of Erid. Desperate to bridge the physical divide before Grace's time runs out, Rocky and Adrian misinterpret an old digital file of Avatar as a historical fact and secretly engineer life-like flesh and blood human "vessels" for themselves, but the sensory overload of piloting a human body changes everything Rocky understands about humans.

    And how he sees Grace.

    Summary

    After completing his mission, Ryland Grace sent the beetles out and began his journey to erid alongside rocky. Unbeknownst to him, only one of the beetles made it back home.

    To retrieve the information and samples needed to save earth, Stratt sent Marcelinę Szpak (Marcellie Starling) to space on a mission called ‘project archangel Michael’. Her job was to retrieve the beetles and send them over to earth, study erid and eridians and return home safe.

    Summary

    “No! We’re in space, light years away from Earth, we’re too far away from any piece of technology that should be able to-”

    “Download complete.”

    A errant signal on the way to Erid puts Grace and Rocky onto a detour that pushes the boundaries of the impossible. What he drags up from an ocean of blood may not exactly be human, but it's the closest thing Grace has this side of the universe.

    Summary

    “The thing is, I like him. And not even just because he’s the only human for 12 light-years. I think I’d like him even if we’d met on Earth, like on Stratt’s Vat. Or if we’d been coworkers at Grover Cleveland Middle. Simon is a good person. I like him.

    We’re…something. We’re something more than something, we kind of have to be because of the whole only-humans thing. And the whole saved-from-the-void-of-space thing. But it feels kind of like the way that Rocky and I are more than something, only different.

    And that’s the part that scares me.”

    OR

    About a year into the journey to Erid, a rescue mission brought another human onto the Hail Mary. Nearly three months later, he’s finally adjusted well enough to accept his new reality.

    Grace kinda wants to do something about it. Unfortunately and above all else, Doctor Captain Ryland Grace is, and has always been, a fudging coward.

    Summary

    Grace couldn't believe it when a beetle arrived to Erid. A new crew of Eridians had been sent out on a new ship, the Blip-B, on a mission to save the three stars of the Alpha Centauri star system. It was supposed to be the first mission of many to help out neighboring stars.

    But, reports had come back on the beetle. Reports of a moon in the system, covered with a thick viscous liquid with a creature resembling a human floating on the surface of the ocean. The report stated the Blip-B's crew had rescued the human and had effectively terminated the mission, racing through the system to get this human to Erid. To Grace.

    The thing is, Grace knows the moon the crew reports does not exist. The Hail Mary's own scans of the journey through the system showed nothing even similar to the stray moon. And who they bring back isn't exactly human.

    Summary

    On board the Hail Mary, Simon finds himself in a prison made of glass, filled with luxuries he could've only ever dreamed of.

    Ryland's excitement to have another human on the Mary is quickly curbed by the danger of contamination, and the measures he's forced to take against it.

    Rocky is trying his best to navigate the new, complicated situation.

    (Or, Simon has to roll around in a hamster ball and it's a 3-way touch-starved standoff)
