Summary
"You called me psychotic", Ryder says, "when I first met you."
Ryland frowns. It’s not the answer he expected. “I think you’ve got a screw loose."
There is laughter in Ryder’s eyes.
“You done talking yet?” he asks.
"Maybe."

Summary
“Oh, it’s a way for humans to tell each other they’re taken. To remember,” I say, popping a bunch more gummy bears into my mouth. Rocky makes a disgusted sound and I smile as I chew. “It’s just a nice way of showing they have someone they committed to.”
Rocky freezes. I don’t notice for a good few seconds, not until I get the pressing sensation that he’s staring at me, his lack of eyes irrelevant.
I turn to face him. He’s jittering, something like shaking from excitement or anger, I’m not sure.
“Rocky?” I ask.
“Grace have ring,” he points, and oh no. “Grace have mate? Why Grace no say!?”
I hold up my hands before he can get too excited, though I can already hear a familiar sound, a repeating joyful and confused song start to escape from him.
“No, no, no!” he freezes again. Deflates, a little. I sigh and run a hand down my face. “It’s… complicated.”

"I'll keep you updated. In the meantime, go back to sleep. When you need to worry, I'll tell you."
"Heh." Ryland ran his hand down his face. "It's terrible you know that it actually makes me feel better. What would I do without you?"
"Explode at a colleague at a conference and get expelled from academia and become a middle school teacher." Eva said, promptly.
"Wow, you've thought about that way too hard." Ryland laughed. "Middle schoolers might not vape in class, though. Maybe I should switch."
"Let's not joke."

Summary
The Hail Mary has been shot out into the depths of the infinite void of space to search for an answer that may not even be there. Aboard, the three crew members lay in stasis as the ship hurtles like an arrow towards a distant star, with no hope of return, but a desperate hope to make things right.
At home, two brothers are left in sudden and violent grief. A woman grapples with whether or not she made the right decision. The world strains and suffers under the weight of the coming Fimbulwinter.
And then one of the beetles returns.
Thirteen years early.

“How did I even get back last night?” asked Ryland. He rubbed his eyes, trying to make his pounding headache relent. It didn’t work.
“Dude, I have no idea. By the time I came home, you were naked, in bed, babbling about some guy and trees.”
“...What?”A drunken escapade at a frat party Ryland should have never gone to alone comes back to haunt him, many years later. Colt is never going to let him live it down.

Summary
Eridians have recreated more of Earth than Grace could have imagined. Waves, trees, flowers — Grace is grateful for all of it. Simon feels the same, even if he doesn’t say as much. Grace can tell from how curious Simon has become.
Answering his questions about plant life was a breakthrough for their relationship. So, as long as Simon wants to know something, Grace is willing to teach him about it. It's just that giving a lesson on this particular flower isn't quite like what Grace is used to teaching about. After all, it's not like he'd have ever brought up marijuana in the classroom.

Summary
Earth did not expect the Hail Mary to return from her voyage; they had expected her inhabitants to accept their fate, future patron saints of one-way trips.
They had measured the optics. They had prescribed three astronauts with a death sentence; two aware and wanting of the pills they were handed to swallow, one dragged kicking and screaming. They had decided that the future of all humanity, of all known intelligent life, was worth these three lives. They had expected that these three lives would make peace with this: that there would be no help other than their own hands in the unknown stretch of the forever cosmos. They had anticipated no consequence for their actions; that those three names would be known as heroes, no questions asked about if they had wanted to be heroes at all.
They had not counted on Ryland Grace.
***
Or: the probes don't launch. Ryland Grace is forced to return to Earth.
He still isn't giving up on Erid. Or Rocky.

Summary
Something was standing above his towel.
No… someone.
They seemed to be observing the towel, claws tapping against the material with what he took as curiosity, pinching it between the appendage.
Was it Rocky? It’d make sense, the Eridian would certainly have something harsh to say about him leaving his stuff laying around. He always had some mean quip to insult his shoddy human memory.
He opened his mouth to defend himself before Rocky could say something snappy, when the figure then moved, stocky legs rising from beneath their carapace and lifting them to their full standing height.
They were tall. Too tall.
That wasn’t Rocky.

Grace receives an unexpected visitor one night in his home on Erid.

Summary
“You look nice,” he says, smiling a little shy, as if the compliment had just slipped out and he was supposed to be embarrassed about that.
“I uh,” You pause, swallowing thickly.
Holy fuck he looks good in a suit. It’s the only thought spinning around your head. Suddenly you’re reminded of all those times he’d complained about all the formal conferences and charity gala’s he’d attended during his days in academia. You realise you have made a grave error.
in which: You need a date to the wedding you foolishly agreed to attend, luckily your co-worker is a willing sacrifice. Extremely willing.

Summary
“Big news! Statement.” Rocky chimes brightly.
“Okaaaay. Lay it on me.”
“Two things. First thing.” Rocky begins, holding one arm up, “Eridian crew return safe and sound from mission!”
“That’s great!” He nods.
Rocky holds up a second arm.
“Second thing: Eridian crew find strange moon. No landmasses. Consisted entirely of an ocean of blood.”
“That is...decidedly not great."
(or: how two humans that have little trust in humanity learn to be comfortably human with one another.)

“Talk.”
There’s a hitch of breath on the other end before Colt manages to speak.
“I know you only said to contact you when there’s an emergency, but I think this really, really counts for one, man... there was an explosion near the site where Ryland was working. It happened yesterday. It’s all over the news. I came to his apartment and it’s… Court, it’s wiped. Everything’s gone. I’ve been trying to call him, but he’s unreachable.
I have a really, really bad feeling. I didn’t know what to do.”

Summary
“Y’know, Six, if I had known you had such good genes I would have tracked you down earlier.”
Six forced his face and voice to stay neutral. “What?”
“I’m not personally escorting them, but my people informed me of a…” Hansen pauses, seemingly looking for information. Six’s gut is always right, and there was a rock settling in the pit of his stomach. “Colt Seavers and Ryland Grace. Who knew Sierra had family?” A cold laugh echoed through the phone. “I’ll see you soon, Six. Family reunion! How exciting.”
The line went dead. Six was still, except for his right hand slowly crushing the phone held to his ear. He would need to get rid of it anyway.
This stupid fucking USB. He wanted to burn it.
Glass crunched in his fist, the phone irreparable. God, he was going to fucking murder Lloyd Hansen.
He brought the phone down, staring at it. The screen had faded to darkness.

The Gray Man (2022) but if Ryland and Colt, who were under the assumption that their older brother was dead, were kidnapped as leverage.
