    Summary

    The door opens. 

    Claire chokes. Ryland is standing there in blue PJ pants and an oversized PBS t-shirt. He's rubbing his eyes, which are missing his glasses, which makes it even more obvious how similar they look. When his hand falls away, Six watches him process what is standing at his door. His eyes go from Six, down to Claire, then back up to Six. 

    He laughs, high and stressed, then closes the door in their face.

    OR, Six needs help taking care of Claire after they break free from their respective jails. He decides that his younger brother Ryland Grace is the solution.

    Summary

    “What’s a ‘truss’?” Grace asked, blue eyes glancing up at Simon from where he studied the tiles on the mat.

    Simon arched a brow as he looked at Grace, as if the answer should be obvious.

    “A truss,” Simon said plainly.

    “Oh. Okay,” was all Grace could say in response to Simon’s tone. “No, hold on–not okay–that doesn’t answer my question?”

    ----

    Grace and Simon play a friendly game of Scrabble, Simon decides to be a menace, Grace is bad at emotions and Rocky is stirring the pot.

    Summary

    “Nope–no you have to keep the pressure on that, Colt–” Jody grabbed his hand, guided it back upward, glancing over his shoulder to see what he was looking at.

    There wasn’t anything of note behind him, just the pavement and a laughing couple stumbling their way around the corner.

    Was he concussed?

    “I’m not Colt,” Colt said, interrupting Jody’s thoughts. He cocked his head to the side, frowned, tried to lower his hand for the third time like he’d already forgotten what he was supposed to be doing. “I’m trying–I need to find Colt. M’not him.”

    Oh, yeah, he was definitely fucking concussed.

     

    (Ryland is concussed, Colt is framed for murder and concussed, and Jody is definitively lost in all the sauce because someone forgot to tell her that Colt has a twin brother.)

    Summary

    There's 1 in 70,000 people on the planet who have the gene needed to survive the Hail Mary's expedition. In that limited pool, 1 in maybe 1000 had the necessary skills needed for the mission — more dire still, even less people were willing to volunteer for what is essentially a suicide mission.

    When an explosion killed not only their science officers but also their engineers, Eva Stratt makes the tough decision to put 2 people on the spacecraft that no one was expecting to be even be candidates.

    One is a middle-school science teacher.

    One is a convicted eco terrorist.

    Summary

    Simon's usually stoic face scrunched with confusion. "What are you doing?"

    "Well- I just, ya know. I just wanted to-" Grace closed his eyes and took a deep breath that did nothing to calm his nerves before he shakily managed out. "I made you, a bouquet."

    Simon's expression only twisted further into distress, "Why did you do that?"

    Grace felt his measly courage wheeze out of him like a pathetic balloon, letting out a weak little, "Huh?"

    After a moment for this brain to catch up with his mouth, he gulped and opened his mouth to try again, then stopped. Started again. "It’s… flowers."

    "Yes," Simon said slowly, "I can see that."

    Grace swallowed and tentatively added, "…For you."

    That landed wrong. Simon’s immediately tensed, not in anger, more like suspicion and concern. He eyed the flowers with pursed lips before slowly drawing out another, "Why?"

    "What?"
    ———————
    Or the five times Grace attempted to woo Simon the human way, and the one time he tried it the Eridian way.
