Summary
an indulgent little strattland AU with a very different plot direction for the astrophage... I came up with an idea that made me think that maybe they had all outsmarted themselves with the Tau Cetti plan, and I want to see if I can make this work.
ryland grace/eva stratt, romantic rather than platonic, codependency themes, and a series of wrestling matches with the havoc that exhaustion and magical thinking plays on reasoning. Dubious science that I hope you won't question to closely, and themes of confronting the obvious yet overlooked, on all kinds of levels.

Summary
“Don’t be ridiculous, Grace, you are not spending Christmas alone,” she snaps. “You’ll come home with me.”
“You are not serious-”
“I don’t tell jokes. Pack a bag. You’ll come to Germany with me.”
“I can’t-”
Within twelve hours, he has a packed bag and is on a private plane.

Summary
“That’s mine,” Stratt says immediately when he finally catches up to her and offers up his cardigan. “Why do you have it,” she asks, kind of.
“Uh, no. This one’s mine, you klepto.” He takes her coffees from her with one hand but doesn’t let go of the cardigan just yet. Something about how tightly she’s grasping it makes his eye twitch. He really likes this one.
“First of all, this is a woman’s cardigan. I’ve owned it for ten years.” She yanks hard on the fabric and Grace’s elbow is forcibly extended when he doesn’t let go. “This is not yours.”
“Nuh-uh.” He yanks back. “I got this cardigan when we flew to London last April, remember? I lost your credit card? It has these elbow patches that make me look all academic and stuff.” He twists his elbows around to try and show her.
in other news:
Stratt and Grace fall into the habit of sharing clothes but they justify it in a really complicated way.

Summary
Grace doesn’t realize the first time it happens, nor any subsequent ones, that his memories are scrambled beyond the past and the present.
It’s years later, while he’s walking on Erid’s beach, that he knows he has overlooked something monumental.
Little by little, hundreds of fragmented pieces solve a puzzle he didn’t know he had, where vivid dreams and half-formed visions are more than daydreams and wistful thinking.
As he said before, “Up is down, left is right, xenon is a solid, aliens are real.”
Time is changeable, and the only way to move forward is to go back.
