    Summary

    “What the heck is going on?” Grace whimpers in her voice, and she’s very certain now that it is Grace, because she’d recognise those mannerisms anywhere.

    She strides over to her own bed, sitting on the edge. “We appear to have… swapped, somehow.”

    “That’s not possible.”

    “It’s happening. Let’s not waste time debating it.”

    Summary

    “Proof of concept,” ♫♬♯♩♩♫ says. “We’ve tested it thoroughly to ensure it fits the specified nutritional profile, and several members of our team have ingested small amounts of it to ensure there were no adverse effects.”

    “You ate some of it?” I ask, rudely. I’m too irate to mind my language. Who do they think they are? That meat is for Grace. In a way, that meat is Grace.

    “Yes,” ♫♬♯♩♩♫ says. They and the rest of the human life support thrum know better than to be offended by my occasionally strange behaviour. “Obviously we weren’t going to risk the life of Honoured Grace on a completely untested technology.”

    That doesn’t mean much. There’s a lot of things that are safe for ingestion by Eridians that would outright kill a human.

    Trust Grace, I remind myself. He’ll have thought of all this.

    (OR: Grace's meburgers from the book epilogue. Let's talk about those!)

    Summary

    The campus in fall had its own taxonomy of beauty—athletes, poets, legacy blondes—but none of them prepared Ryland Grace for Eva Stratt: transfer student, history major, devastating from first sight in a pencil skirt and graphic tee. He chases. She relents. They fall into something wordless and urgent, cold winter mornings and heated skin, until biology intervenes with its own agenda and a test comes back positive.

    Loving someone means holding them through the grief that follows a choice you'd make again, a thousand times. They learn that the hard way.

    Summary

    What the title says. About 11 years ago (from my perspective; relativity is weird) I was launched into space onboard the Hail Mary to figure out a solution to the Astrophage problem. Now I live on an alien planet I call Erid, in the 40-Eridani system. Yes, I’m actually Ryland Grace. Ask me anything.

    Also, can someone please tell me if Eva Stratt is alive? And ideally send me a video of you punching her in the face? Guess that’s a long shot, but it can’t hurt to ask.

    ---

    Grace and Rocky figure out how to connect to Earth's internet from Erid. They may not have thought this through.

    Summary

    Welcome aboard, passenger number three.

    Ryland Grace now must face his biggest challenge yet: parenthood. It's going to be a long four years to Erid, and he and Rocky are going to have to team up and get creative in raising this tiny human together within the walls of the Hail Mary. Grace is going to have to sort through his own issues-- including painful memories and tricky feelings about his alien best friend-- all while being at the mercy of parenthood, deep space, and their limited supplies.

    OR: Grace and Rocky have to figure out how to keep a human baby and themselves alive for four years until Erid. They also happen to be falling stupidly in love the whole time without realizing it.

    For more context, please read parts 1 and 2 of this series! Updates every Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday.

    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!

    Summary

    When a heavy storm hits the ship, Grace and Stratt find themselves forced into close proximity and repressed feelings accidentally come to the surface.
    This changes some things, and spans over thirty years.

    (June; Ryland and Dr Lokken are flown to remote Alaska to participate in preliminary engine testing using astrophage fuel; they spend two weeks in the wilderness, evading bears and trying not to get into shouting matches in front of everyone. Rasmussen installs the improved and approved o-rings. Ryland discovers that he misses falling asleep with Eva in his bed. The first round of testing is successful; the night he returns to the ship, he and Eva fuck three times and end up talking instead of sleeping, anyway. She tells him that she missed him. He thinks that he might love her.)

    (In July they nuke Antarctica. It’s hard to top that one.)

    Summary

    A part of him regrets agreeing to Rocky's conditions. He propositioned him in such a mischievous tone. "Grace, I have an idea. Something we could incorporate into our next sexual encounter." Nothing could've prepared him for what came next. "What if I fucked you while you explained science to me."

    By our stars and saving grace,
    save us from this deep dark place.

    When you've been in darkness for too long, you tend to grab onto the first light you see. Sometimes that light happens to be two aliens from a society 11.9 light-years away from your own, and they happen to be exactly what you were looking for all along.

    Summary

    Grace knows he's not imagining it.

    There's a hand underneath the table, trailing up his skirt, and fingering at the crease of his thigh.

    He bites his lip and doesn't stop it.

    Instead, he just spreads his legs further.

    "Well," Rocky says from beside him. "Should we start the meeting now?"

    His knuckles brush up against Grace's aching cunt.

    ***

    There's an itch inside Grace.

    Luckily, guess who can reach deep enough to scratch it?

    Summary

    “What are you talking about?” Grace's fingers played quick chords as he spoke. He didn’t even look as he did it, but it did not make them any less purposeful.

    “Discussing possible reasons why Tau Ceti is not infected while other stars are,” Eva replied deftly. “I would invite you to join, but we were just finishing—”

    “Oh, that’s easy.” His hand twisted a knob, and the notes came out sharper. “It is infected—Petrova Line and everything.”

    In Grace's opinion, dreaming about time traveling is no excuse for getting out of practice with his Eridian. To the rest of the Petrova Taskforce, it seems a bit odd that their resident Astrophage expert has suddenly taken to carrying a keyboard around and playing it whenever he speaks. Eva Stratt resolves to figure out what is going on.

    He’s never had so much fun. Or so many orgasms, buried deep inside her and seeing stars, mouth against her neck, fist wrapped around her firelight hair.

    It’s been months before he notices how her thighs tighten around him when he empties inside her.

    Summary

    “Here–is this better?” I say, unable to look back at him even as I hear his constant tapping directly in front of my butt.

    “No. No see. View inhibited. Move obstructing parts.”

    My face heats instantly and I feel the flush travel down my neck and chest. I shake my head. “No, Rock, I’m not—I’m not spreading my cheeks for you just so you can stare at my, stare at my—” I cut myself off and move to turn back around.

    “Grace.” Rocky’s voice has lowered to the near threshold of my capacity to discern it. I feel the word more than I can hear it, the vibrations rocking through me and making me gasp with its intensity. “Show.”

     

    or, alternatively: rocky and grace finally get down and freaky with it-- wherein grace shows hole and rocky has a revelation.

    Summary

    The question I was considering before is still nagging at me and I can’t help myself; I gotta ask.

    “How do you and Adrian touch each other?” There’s just zero way to make that not sound filthy as heck and I’m worried Rocky is going to think I’m a pervert. Maybe I am one.

    Rocky only laughs. “Tell Grace later.”

    “What? Why?”

    “Because. Will excite Grace. Grace not ready for sexual intercourse.”

    Oh. So he’s already aware I’m a pervert. Well shame on me, I guess.

    or, alternatively: grace and rocky's relationship takes on a new form and grace has a lot of Feelings about it
