    Summary

    “Derek.” Avery interrupts, firmer this time. It causes Derek to pause mid-spiral. This is new territory for him, he’s a totally different person when there isn’t a screen and a dire situation in front of him. He’s so certain he’s not what Avery thought he knew. But Avery reaches forward and pulls Derek in, leaving the gangly man to stumble against Avery’s shorter shoulder as he’s dragged into a hug.
    “I’m just glad you’re alive.” Derek feels his eyes prickle and just gives into the urge to lean into the contact. He doesn’t even care how that must look right now.

    “Don’t think I’m not angry. I am. Three weeks and not even a word?” Avery’s voice raises, just a little, not enough that it’d disturb the neighbors, but enough for Derek to catch. “But that can wait.” Avery gives Derek one final firm squeeze before leading him into the apartment.

    ___

    Derek Hutchins is dying. This is the only way he knows how to protect Avery. He just hopes Avery doesn't realize they're only a single wall's distance apart.

    ___

    Summary

    In the smallest, most economical of movements, Eva Stratt alters any room’s entire gravitational logic, barely a glance, a shift of weight, a single word, and the machinery of global consequence begins to realign itself. And Ryland Grace, perpetually caught in her orbit, watches in exhausted awe as the universe keeps proving that when she so much as clicks her heel, the world obligingly shakes to compensate. Also, Carl is there, like the bestie that he is.

    Summary

    Summary

    Eva Stratt has never been a woman who hesitates.

    She’s made countless decisions after decisions throughout her life, often regardless of the consequences that may result. She’s not an idiot. She’s well aware that there will be consequences, and she’s equally sure that the consequences will be of little concern. The end justifies the means — her actions will be judged, but at least they will have happened.

    But here, alone in a Russian conference room, for once in her life Eva Stratt does not know what to do.

    OR; The beetles make it home.

    Summary

    “No,” Grace answered once his brain was back in gear. “No, no. I, um. I work for Stratt.”
    Watney’s expression shifted. He was still glaring, but the set of his eyebrows had changed. “World dictator Eva Stratt?”

    ?

    the crew of the hail mary will be experiencing foreign terrain and challenges, out in the wilds of space exploration without help — like no-one before. well, almost no-one. Stratt can think of one person who’s up to the task of training the crew, whether he wants to be or not. and he came back from the ‘wilds’ of mars a few years back.

    Summary

    Ryland Grace is Not Doing Well.

    He’s consulted a medical textbook. He’s definitely malnourished, as expected, but he also thinks he might have scurvy, which is. Uh.

    He’s attempting to make light of it. Well. He’s attempting not to make anything of it at all. They only have what, ten more days until they reach Erid? And once they’ve got to Erid, Rocky has reassured him, told him again and again and again that the best minds on Erid will fix him, will work out a way to feed him, that they’ll help.

    So he just has to make it through those ten more days. With scurvy. No big deal. Who hasn’t lived with scurvy before? If he thinks real hard about it, he’s just a pirate, at the end of the day. A space pirate. A space pirate who pillaged another planet for their resources and has now got scurvy as a form of divine retribution for crimes against Taumoeba (eating it) and Astrophage (getting Taumoeba to eat it.)

    He’s Jack Sparrow. What the hey, sure.

    Summary

    “Hey! It’s a lot up here, okay? It’s a normal response to stress.” He rubs a hand over his face. “Okay, I cried a lot down there, too. But not in class! Not if I could help it. But having to say goodbye, gosh, I’ve never been good at that.” Grace laughs, but it sounds sad. His mouth is shut firmly, and he leans against my ball. He’s so soft, his body melds to the side of the xenonite with ease. “I can’t imagine what a mess I’ll be when—” he cuts himself off, but I know what was coming next.

    I’m not sure how I’ll be when we say goodbye either. It didn’t seem like it’d matter so much at first, after all, if we part ways, it means we succeeded. I’d be going back to Erid, to Adrian, to home. But I’d be leaving behind Grace. The thought of that is unpleasant. It sinks deep in me; the emotion is painfully familiar. It’s been a long time since I’ve had anyone to mourn losing anyone again. I don’t want to think about it, I’m not ready.

    or 5 times Rocky feels something for Grace. 1 time he does something about it.

    Summary

    The Hail Mary has sent off its Beetles and Eva Stratt is the first to dissect them for the data within. If anything, she’s simply glad that Ryland Grace, as odd as he may seem at first glance, is thorough. His logs, both visual and written, go over everything in pretty good detail.

    She’s also come to learn that he has a pretty bad habit of leaving the camera on when it isn’t meant to be.

    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.

    Summary

    “Rocky saw.”

    His mind races. The what, the ship cams? Did they record Stratt’s men dumping him comatose and still and scared in the ship, did they talk about what they’d done to him? No, that would make sense. Besides, the Hail Mary was in orbit around Erid, not impossible to get to, but not worth it for a nose around. Or – maybe he’d said something in his sleep, and Rocky was only just talking to him about it. That also makes no sense. Or maybe –

    “You… saw.”

    “Eridians see dream-memories sometimes.”

    “That literally makes no sense,” blurts Ryland, and Rocky stamps his feet. The way he’d done back on the ship when something was painfully obvious and Ryland failed to get it. “Sorry. You’re gonna have to explain.”

    “Eridians are linked to all Eridians. Erid is like – word need word – database. Database for all Eridians thought memories events. When Eridians sleep, they see other Eridian memories. Didn’t happen on ship because no tie to Erid. Didn’t happen on Mary because no tie to Erid. Rocky saw Grace's memories.”

    ***

    Or: Rocky finds out Grace was forced onto the Hail Mary without his consent, but not really in the way you'd expect.

    Summary

    “How long do humans live for, question. Rocky want to know.”

    Rocky stamps his claw impatiently on the flat surface of his xenonite ball as he asks, a skittery, jittery movement that rattles in Ryland’s ears.

    He sighs. Rubs at his temples. Thinks about how to answer this as diplomatically as physically possible, as at ease as physically possible.

    It’s not that he cares much about the fact he’ll be dead long long before Rocky. He doesn’t care about that. He’s probably going to die a whole lot sooner than your average human, anyway, considering his diet of coma-slurry and Taumoeba and little else. Besides, he’s been in space for longer than anybody has been in the history of ever. That’s sure to do messed-up things to his bones and joints and mass and everything. But it doesn’t matter. He’s made peace with that. For-real made peace, because any time more is a thousand times over what he thought he’d get.

    What does matter is that Rocky has no idea that there’s probably only about fifty years left in his tank.

    ***

    Or: the average male human lifespan is 80 years. Rocky doesn't know that.

    Summary

    Ryland Grace doesn't even bother trying to not cry when he sees the little house on the beach. The water might be boiling, and the terraform dome might be barely bigger than the Hail Mary herself, but Rocky and Adrian made him a house. Instead of living alone on a spaceship forever he can live on Erid. They made him a bedroom. They brought down Armando. Grace sits on the floor and focuses on breathing evenly.

    Is good reaction, he hears Rocky tell Adrian. Leaking sign of strong emotion. Grace often have strong emotion.

    Summary

    Grace is put on cleaning duty and gets a mysterious fourth bag of vodka for his troubles.

    Rocky begrudgingly takes on the role of Designated Driver slash Space Blob Supervisor, and receives a different kind of gift in return.


    “Grace. What are you doing?”

    Grace's mouth, still smushed against my xenonite, curves upward: Contentment, happiness, satisfaction. Interesting, that it should be prone to smiling when made stupid by ethanol, but not so much when it gets stupid because of a lack of sleep.

    “‘s called a kiss, buddy. I‘m givin’ you. A kiss. ‘cause you're my best friend annnnd I like you. And y’nno what, you're actually pretty nice. When you’re not goin’ outta your way to be mean to me, that is.”

    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

    “Just— uh, maybe it’s stupid, but I just thought maybe I could… I dunno, like, help you wash your hair or something. ‘Cause you said you feel gross. If that’s not awkward.”

    Derek had been lying flat on his back with his face to the ceiling, but now he rolled onto his side, curled like a comma, to face Avery. He usually wore glasses, but those were conspicuously absent, and even on the reg they did nothing to soften the terse angles of Derek’s face, the truncated line from his nose to his top lip, the shadows so deep they bruised his eyes. Like this, in real life, Avery could see Derek looking at him, and see himself being seen in a way that transcended human knowledge.

    “Only awkward if we make it awkward,” he said.
