   Summary

   Ryland was never supposed to come back, but he did, and now he has to get used to Earth again. The gravity, the speech, the routine, and, not to mention, his newfound fear of explosions and people grabbing him, especially his neck. His brother, a very good stuntman if he's allowed to brag, decided Ryland needed to get out a little and dragged him to one of his sets. It would be better if he weren't constantly speaking like Rocky.

   Or: Rocky's ship was never in danger and Grace was able to get back to Earth, albeit with some issues to work through and during the years with Rocky, he picked up some… interesting speech patterns.

   Or or: I was bored and wanted to write this because I haven't seen anything similar yet. The timeline is my bitch now suckers.
