Summary
Simon glares at him, his lips pursed and the fangs along his cheek grimaced. After a beat, he finally speaks. "After all this, there's still kindness in your eyes. Pathetic."
Grace wilts and tries to bite back the tears. His teeth worries his bottom lip until it splits, and he winces at the bitter metallic taste it leaves in his mouth. He can't focus on Simon, no matter how much he wants to. He has to push on.
33,550,336 is a perfect number. And you know what they say, practice makes perfect. Surely that applies to saving the universe. -

Summary
Their family had never been whole. Not by a long shot.
Grace held his hand out, interrupting Stratt and stopping her mid-sentence. He spotted this knowing look in her eyes and felt something sour bubble up in his chest. "I have a brother. Brothers, plural, actually."
Shared looks of horror began to pull on both Yao's and Ilyukhina's expressions, and even Carl seemed to have a brief spike of…well, something, across his usually deadpan expression.
That's right, drink that in, Grace felt himself preen, if only for a moment. That small moment of hopefulness right before Stratt, in all of her clear-cut, tepid observance, shattered it.
"My understanding is that you and Colt G. Seavers are entirely estranged; and Courtland Grace is no longer with you." Stratt's voice was even and her eyes clear as day. She was not budging on this. "Would it really make a difference if you were here or aboard the Hail Mary?"

Summary
Ryland Grace and Rocky are steadily making their way to Erid until the Hail Mary suddenly receives an incoming communications signal.
"Um…you don't have to shout. Promise." Swallowing back the tightness in his throat, Grace spoke into the armed microphone from Mary's system. "Can…can you hear me?"
Or: Against the impossible, Ryland Grace finds a needle in the proverbial galactic haystack. -

Summary
“Are you disappointed?” Dan Heng asked, fidgeting with one of the tassels on his coat.
“I’m never disappointed when I see you.” Boothill allowed himself this small moment of honesty.
Dan Heng stared down at him. Did he lean closer? “I was disappointed. Himeko and Mr. Yang told me you’d found us, out there, and left as quickly as you helped. You didn’t wait.”
“Did you want me to?” Boothill asked, feeling distant.
“Yes.”
Boothill is forced to come face-to-face with how he felt about finding Dan Heng and the Trailblazer post-Iron Tomb fight, and Dan Heng is all too willing to help him deal with the answer.

Summary
Mydei knew that while maybe Cipher wouldn’t mind a prank or two along these lines, someone like Aglaea wouldn’t dare. His mind reeled back instantly to Kephale’s statue, bereft of its usual reassuring glow.
“Lord Mydei,” Castorice chimed in gently. “Are you sure a ‘Phainon’ wasn’t a comrade you made during your time in the Kremnoan detachment? Perhaps this is the dysphoria that comes with waking from Death.”
“Phainon of Aedes Elysiae, Deliverer of Amphoreus,” Mydei gritted out. “This isn’t something I say in either jest or confusion. He is one of us. The Chrysos Heir to carry Kephale’s coreflame. Where is he?”
“There hasn’t been a Chrysos Heir devoted to Kephale in more than a millennia,” Anaxa said thoughtfully, “The coreflame was brought and returned by the Trailblazer.”

Summary
Anyway, Rocky’s a pushy bully that gets what he wants, and I am a pushover that lets him do pretty much whatever he wants. It works for us. This is important for later.

Summary
Grace misses touch.
He would be perfectly fine never having it again except for the fact that the last human hands he felt were holding his face in the dirt while he screamed.
Meanwhile, Rocky is growing agitated-- it is almost his molting cycle, and he has concerns about building a new shell.-------------
Grace thinks it's just coincidence or proximity when Rocky asks him to decorate pieces of the new carapace, or when the pieces he holds don't crumble in his atmosphere. Or when the hand that presses against the xenonite paneling during testing looks incredibly, insanely human.
It's just him projecting. Rocky wouldn't want that.

Summary
It had been a few weeks of being alone on the Hail Mary. Well, not technically ALONE— Only one other crew mate remained and his name was Jason “Rocky” Rockwell, who was still in his coma. Ryland Grace had gained most of his memories back, including the memories of who his fellow crew mates were. When Rocky finally woke, Grace realized that being alone would’ve been his worst nightmare without this guy.

Summary
Ryland Grace has been shunned, shamed, and left behind in the field of molecular biology. Three months after attempting to defend his thesis at the UNESCO conference as a collegiate student, he is left to work alone in a small and cramped laboratory that affords little more than the four walls it sits within. Distancing himself from friends, family, and colleagues, it all quickly changes when he rescues an actual God's-honest-truth alien and brings him home. With the government on the lookout for extraterrestrial beings and one sleeping on his couch who communicates in whistles and half-word screeches, can Ryland Grace figure out what's going on before it's too late?
