    Summary

    As he stared down into the lumpy grey goop that was his evening rations, he contemplated whether it was really worth it.

    They’d come a very long way just for Grace to give up and die at the last hurdle, both physically and emotionally. The Tau Ceti system was a long, long way away now, and Grace had faced not one but two highly emotional suicide missions. Three, if you counted the time before he was given a military grade roofie and hucked into space without his memories.

     

    Rocky and Grace make it back to Erid! Huzzah!
    Now they have to navigate all of... that.

    Summary

    "What if I help you?" Grace blurts out desperately, sweating even in the coolness of his house as his words finally manage to stop Adrian from storming out.

    "What?" Adrian says after a tense moment.

    "I can prove it to everyone," Grace says, his heart in his throat. "I'll - I'll make you and Rocky the most celebrated couple on Erid. I promise."

    "Stupid human," Adrian hisses. "You would give up your chance for him just like that?"

    "Yes," Grace says hoarsely.

    "Anything for him."

    ***

    Adrian does not like Grace.

    Which sucks, really, since Grace loves Adrian's husband and all.

    Summary

    Ryland Grace was not built for isolation. He yearns for the company of another, anyone. There is no one. Along with an excruciating pain, fragmented memories coming to light and a need to escape by any means necessary, Ryland Grace discovers radiation, Astrophage and Tuamoeba have dire consequences. How will Earth react when their saviour is less of a saint and more of an anomaly.

    Summary

    Grace is a child. Not figuratively, like she remembers he was in so many ways, but literally. The young man who wiggles out of an outdated spacesuit and stands in front of some confused scientists can not be more than in his mid to late teenage years, biologically.

    Due to his near light speed travel, Grace should have experienced less time than those on Earth. That did not mean negative time which, last Eva checked, was still impossible.

    Grace comes back to Earth in a much younger cloned body, after he gets too sick to survive on Erid.

    Summary

    In this moment, from the second Marissa had told me during that fateful dinner about the Petrova line, the return of the ArcLight probe from Venus, through the whole Petrova task force, Stratts betrayal, the horrific first moments on the Hail Mary. Nearly dying a hundred times both from the planet Adrian and general space travel, my choice of saving Rocky instead of myself, abandoning all hope from ever seeing Earth again. Getting here half starved, working out how to survive a landscape that was inherently inhospitable for me, but right now. It was so fucking worth it.

    The weight receded and I lunged after a breath, only to heave out more sobs, oh god i felt pathetic, and happy and everything. I couldn't talk, I couldn't breathe. All my grief, all my decisions, everything that led to this moment. “We did it Grace,” I heard Rocky, who was still half curled around me, “we saved Erid!”

    They had a future.

    And that meant that it was legitimate and unfaltering hope that Sol would be saved and Earth too. And that made me sob even harder.

    Summary

    “I— Yeah,” I cut whoever was speaking off, my voice sounding strange and distant, like I was hearing myself from ten feet away. “I’m fine, I just have to… I think I need… uhm…”

    I was rising to my feet, then, my thoughts blurry and all over the place. As I shuffled out from under the table, I moved too fast and hit the edge of it with my knees. It was a terrible idea — pain flashed through my hips and spine without the help of my cane, which I vaguely registered leaving on the ground as I pushed away from the conference table, took one more look at the people gathered around it…

    And broke out into a run.

    Or: Grace returns to Earth but has trouble adapting to humans again. Humans who stare, and scrutinise, and can read his thoughts at a glance.

    Colt stopped picking at the tape; the room suddenly quiet. “It was real. Your brain doesn't know the difference between a sound effect and a trigger yet. That's not a failure, Ry. It’s a reflex.”

    “...I’m sorry.”

    “Stop apologizing.”

    “Okay, I’m sorry.”

    “Ryland Grace. Stop that.”

    Stratt deals in outcomes.

    The equation was simple:

    One man

    for eight billion lives.

    The kind of math that pretends to be brutal but is, in truth, embarrassingly straightforward.

    And so she does not regret.

    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

    “You trust me?”

     

    “I… yeah. Of course.”

     

    Rocky stopped working, not because he needed to in order to carry on the conversation, but to make sure I was sure he was giving me his full attention. He was thoughtful like that. His carapace tilted up. “Rocky fix beetles, send to Erid.  Then Rocky and Grace go to Earth. Grace will live. Grace see sibling again. Rocky promise. Rocky fix. Grace trust.”

    Summary

    Earth did not expect the Hail Mary to return from her voyage; they had expected her inhabitants to accept their fate, future patron saints of one-way trips.

    They had measured the optics. They had prescribed three astronauts with a death sentence; two aware and wanting of the pills they were handed to swallow, one dragged kicking and screaming. They had decided that the future of all humanity, of all known intelligent life, was worth these three lives. They had expected that these three lives would make peace with this: that there would be no help other than their own hands in the unknown stretch of the forever cosmos. They had anticipated no consequence for their actions; that those three names would be known as heroes, no questions asked about if they had wanted to be heroes at all.

    They had not counted on Ryland Grace.

    ***

    Or: the probes don't launch. Ryland Grace is forced to return to Earth.

    He still isn't giving up on Erid. Or Rocky.
