    Summary

    “What’s wrong with me?” Grace manages, the words squeezed out through the tightness in his throat. “We just got attacked by the people who want both of us locked in a bunker, I nearly crushed everyone by accident, YOU made people BLEED FROM THEIR EYES, it’s finally hit me that I’m never going to get my old life back and now you're offering me a potato chip?”

    Simon just looks at him, holding out the bag of chips in question. “Well do you fucking want one or not?”

    Summary

    Simon is the new history teacher at Grover Cleveland Middle and he likes his job. A lot. It's fun teaching the kids and it's nice being able to adapt to civilian life. The only hiccup is the science teacher next door.

    Ryland is excited to befriend the new history teacher, but for some reason he can't seem to have a normal conversation with him. Like ever.

    Summary

    Between Grace's scant first aid and the nanny bot they managed to get the man mostly stable, tucked into Grace's bed and completely dead to the world for the past few days.

    It's the same man currently trying to kill him.
     

    or, the Eridians find a man covered in blood and Grace hasn't been able to care for something in far too long.

    Summary

    When Grace gets seemingly teleported by means unknown into the SM-13 right as it was nearing The Light, both Simon and Grace have no idea what is happening. Grace knows he was supposed to be in his house on Erid, Simon knows this new guy cannot possibly be a hallucination, and Ava, upon hearing Grace ramble about theories for how he got there, knows that new guy is Smart. Could-Secure-Our-Survival Smart.
    She orders Simon to bring Grace back to the surface, and thus begins Grace's ordeal in a starless universe.

    Summary

    A "forced vacation" is what Ghost called it when Gary told him that he wasn't going home - that he was going to stay with Ghost and Soap. Gary didn't make it easy on Ghost. He fought it at every angle he could.. but Ghost is too good.

    So now Gary's home with his large, caring, compassionate, understanding family, working on their apple orchard. It's the easiest work he's dealt with since he turned 18 and joined the military. But his family life is proving difficult when he realizes how much he's missed since he's been gone. He's learning about his family, their lives, their struggles, and secrets they hold.

    And much to Gary's dismay, he's learning things about himself that he's not sure he's ready to know yet. He liked it much better when he was too busy with the task force to think about himself.
