    Summary

    “I don’t一” Simon’s voice is soft and broken and he hates it, he hates the fear permeating his entire body. “I don’t want you to be a hallucination.”

    Grace’s faint mumbles and a strange whistling voice die down. Then Grace says, “This is real. It’s real, and we’re getting you out. I promise.”

    Simon closes his eyes. He breathes out.

    “My name,” he says. His voice is rough with unshed tears. “My name is Simon.”

    “Nice to meet you, Simon. Hang tight. We’ll be there soon.”
    -
    Simon is rescued from the blood ocean by a stranger who calls himself a scientist, who claims to be on his way to an alien planet called Erid. Aboard the Hail Mary, Simon has to contend with the fact that dimensional travel maybe exists, living on a space ship, and somehow surviving the struggles of deep space—all while maybe falling in love with the strange man with blue eyes.

    Summary

    Confirmation bias: the human tendency to search for, interpret, and recall information that aligns with our existing beliefs, while ignoring or dismissing evidence that contradicts them.

    No matter what Grace tries to tell him, Simon is very sure that the man is divine in nature. It just makes sense.

    ~~~

    Simon winds up in The Enclosure, naturally. Grace is super down to have human company on planet Erid, but he really wishes someone would have given him a little bit of warning first. Especially about Simon’s religious cult upbringing — if he had known about that, he maybe could have planned a better-worded greeting that wasn’t basically, “Be Not Afraid.” He really set them up for failure with that one.
    (Simon thinks he's dead and that Grace is an angel for A While due to continued misunderstandings)

    Summary

    “Is it okay if I touch you?” the man breathes.

    Simon doesn't know why he asks. No, it's not okay. None of this is okay.

    “Please,” he continues when Simon doesn't respond. “I-I need permission.”

    Simon closes his eyes. It's his own type of silent defiance. If this man isn't just fucking with him – if he does, for some strange reason, feel bad or guilty about capturing him, then good. Let him drown in it.

    Simon is captured by a compulsive liar who, bafflingly, gives him food, smiles at him, and pretends the Quiet Rapture never happened.

    Grace saves the life of a violent human who seems to be under the terrifying delusion that every star and planet has disappeared without a trace.

    Summary

    Simon waited.

    Waited for them to apologize. Tell him there’s nothing they could do. That he wasn’t worth the trouble or resources, that he wasn’t worth the time.

    But that never came.

    Instead, after a second Grace came back on the line, his voice sounding determined now. “Alright,” he said. “Hang tight.”

    Simon blinked slowly. “What?”

    Summary

    Ryland Grace woke up one year before he was supposed to and almost three decades younger. His memories fully intact, but in a ship that thinks he's hostile.

    Summary

    Stelle: You do realize that was the weirdest thing you could've possibly said, right? And I know weird. Weird is my middle name.

    Stelle paused, waiting for his response. It doesn't come for several hours, leading her to wonder just what he was managing to do in the archives for all of that time. When her phone does ping with a message from him, she's left even more bewildered.

    Dan Heng: Strange or not, you would do well to heed the warning.

    Stelle stared at her phone, rereading the message several times. She blinked once, then twice, before her features drew into a nasty scowl. Just what was going on with him?

    Stelle: What would you do if I didn't?
    He was typing a message. She could see the icon on their phone. He began, stopped -- only to begin again. This cycle continued for several minutes as she waited impatiently for his response, leg shaking up and down in agitation. When the message finally does arrive, she's left even more confused.

    Dan Heng: Would you like to find out?

    — And despite that weirdly ominous wording, she did.

    Summary

    Grace has to handle First Contact with an alien planet with what meager Eridian his one set of vocal chords can make.
    This Is Fine. This is totally, completely, utterly fine.

    (Grace sounds like a pebble. This, alongside Eridian's extended lifespans, kicks off a chain of misunderstandings that Grace would find utterly mortifying if he knew what the heck was going on.)

    It was never something that crossed Eva Stratt's mind.

    She's sitting at her desk, contemplating the comment Dr Lokken had said in passing.

    He follows you around like a dog!

    Summary

    Eva Stratt liked outliers. She always had.

    So it was a bit of a disappointment to find that face to face Dr Ryland Grace was actually very milquetoast.

    Summary

    The engineer takes my hand. His skin runs hot. Very hot. He doesn't let go at what I would gauge as a socially-acceptable handshake time interval. Are we just holding hands in the middle of the lab-workshop space? Guess we are.

    "I'm Rocky," he finally introduces himself. He has a hint of an accent, something lilting, melodic. I can't really place it.

    "Rocky," I repeat, slowly. "Like the movies?"

    "No," Rocky deadpans, giving me a look like I'm stupid. "Like the rocks."

    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

    Ryland Grace has completed his mission, and is living out his days with Rocky on Erid. They've received reports that Sol has returned to full luminance, so he can rest easy knowing Stratt saved the world after all. He's pretty sure it recovered in Earth's 2053. He goes to bed content.

    He wakes up in an old twin bed in San Francisco, with the awful feeling that he's late for school. Or work. Or both. A glance at his phone is enough to rid him of that particular concern (it's Saturday), and fill him with so many others. Why is it 2019?
