   Summary

   “So? What's so interesting that’s keeping your attention from your amazing, super-cool, and even hotter boyfriend?” Tom asks, leaning into Ryland’s space to look at the tablet resting on his lap.

   “It's Dr. Scythers’s latest publication.”

   Or; Tom finds out about the guy who ruined his boyfriend’s career. Safe to say he’s not happy. It's a good thing he’s rich and powerful, though.

   • Eva Stratt is maybe a bit OOC here
   • But this is already canon divergent and also extremely self-indulgent
   • Ryland Grace is a teacher
   • And that is almost as important to the crew as being a scientist
   • Teachers will save the world
   • Medical Inaccuracies
   • probably
   • attempt at linguistic accuracy when accounting for transfer errors from Russian
   • Major Character Death tag is canonical don't worry
   • Aromantic Asexual Ryland Grace
   • pre-launch
   • Trigger: Mentions of Cancer
   • I'm not sure where the idea of Lokken having a crush on Grace came from since it wasn't in the book as far as I could tell
   • I mean I read the book and didn't notice but that could be the autism or maybe I just missed something
   • POV Third Person Omniscient
   • And also third-person limited at times
   • shrugs
   • Unreliable Narrator
   • in that Ryland's opinions on religion/science relationship do not necessarily reflect my own
   • Stratt can show some emotion
   • as a treat
   • He is a GOOD teacher and he loves it and that is so important to me
   • As a teacher
   • also becoming a teacher because it's convenient at the time and staying a teacher because it turns out you love it and it's what you're made to do?
   • also me
   • As a nerd this book and movie means a lot to me
   • As a lover of human-made creations and not just letting cgi do everything this movie meant even more to me
   • As a lover of complex morally grey female characters this book and movie meant even even more to me
   • As a lver of the human capacity for love and friendship and goodness this book and movie meant even even even more to me
   • As a teacher this movie and book meant the most to me
   • Also tw child abuse
   • The book doesn’t really mention his childhood
   • so I am HC that it was bad for maximum angst potential
   • Hurt with a splash of comfort
   • is that a tag? It is now!
   • Also Ryland gives his crew cute nicknames. I don’t make the rules
   • Eva Stratt acts like a wet cat

   • Aromantic Asexual Eva Stratt
   • it’s not mentioned but it’s implied
   • Autistic Ryland Grace
   • Autistic Eva Stratt
   • Again not mentioned but it’s there and I want you to know
   • Also she may have killed a man but that’s neither here nor there
   • Also sorry Cacéres

   • it’s not your fault that Eva Stratt doesn’t like you I promise
   • Trigger warning: Medical stuff
   • Medical Innacuracies
   • Also musical innaccuracies
   • I tried to drop headcanon lore about Rocky's language
   • But I know very little about Music
   • Lots of Linguistics though!
   • Languages and Linguistics
   • I really need to research more about how transfer errors effect Russian ESOL speakers
   • because right now I'm probably making some mistakes with Olesya's English
   • I have a HC that her English is very utilitarian and she chooses not to faff about with the finer details
   • even though she could get it right if she could be bothered
   • she jsut has more important things on her mind
   • valid
   • But yeah anways point is that I've not had a ton of experience with Russian ESOL speakers
   • And I should do more research but golly I do lots of research already
   • so for now just deal with it I guess
   • Anyway Olesya my giiiiirrrl
   • Ryland Grace Is Not Graceful
   • Ryland Grace and Rocky are Platonic Soulmates
   • Rocky is like 'I have had this human for less than two weeks but if anything happened to him I would kill everyone in this tunnel and then myself'
   • Ryland is catching strays for his shitty compling skills
   • Mixing book canon and movie canon
   • and changing what parts about Ryland's life he remembers for comedic purposes
   • not super relevant but I want you to know
   • Alternate Universe - Everyone Lives/Nobody Dies
   • Medical Procedures
   • Medical Trauma
   • Rocky is very protective of Grace
   • Team Dynamics
   • Team as Family
   • and it shows
   • "We woke up late from our coma and now an alien has pack bonded with our friend"
   • A memoir by Olesya Ilyukhina and Yao Li-Jie
   • POV Third Person
   • POV Alternating
   • Ryland Grace & Rocky are Best Friends
   • POV Third Person Plural
   • Except she doesn't so much haunt the narrative as boss the narrative around from light years away
   • Olesya Ilyukhina likes dirty jokes and hates fishing
   • Yao Li-Jie is SUCH a dad
   • Ryland Grace Acts Like a Wet Cat
   • Trigger warnings for mild illusions to medical trauma

   • Hail Mary Prayer
   • Brief references to childhood abuse
   • Ryland Grace Is Not Having a Good Time
   • Olesya Ilyukhina is not having a good time
   • Yao Li-Jie is not having a good time
   • Rocky is not having a good time either
   • basically nobody is having a good time
   • Hail Mary accent
   • also I’m taking some liberties even in my own field of science (linguistics) during this series so be warned
   • compling is not my specialty so especially the translator bits
   • those are designed more around fitting with the narrative than actually reflecting hypothetical programming abilities for alien language translators
   • Fluff
   • some plot mostly fluff
   • I've shenaned once and Now I will Shenanigan!!!
   • Russian-isms
   • Lesbian Olesya Ilyukhina
   • Ryland Grace's ridiculous alternate swears
   • Ryland Grace would like to stop catching strays for his terrible compling skills
   • Olesya Ilyukhina will not let that happen
   • adults acting like children
   • having a little fun while saving the world
   • Ryland Grace does not think his previous cardiac arrest is a big deal
   • his family/crew is happy to disabuse him of this notion
   • mentions of medical trauma
   • Self-Worth Issues
   • hand-wavy science
   • Scientific Inaccuracies
   • Suicidal thoughts ???

   • just in case

   • this baby can fit so much fluff and angst and silliness in it
   • Fluff and Angst
   • Hurt/Comfort
   • It's who he is dammit!
   • Have I put some of my personal distaste towards some aspects of academia in this fic?
   • YES!
   • Have I put my own thoughts about how much we as primary education teachers are undervalued into Ryland Grace's mouth?
   • Also yes!!!
   • Listen K-12 teachers are JUST as important as college professors even though we're shit on near-constantly
   • metaphorically and also occasionally literally
   • Do you know how GOOD you have to be at teaching to explain things to kids in a way that they get?
   • Professors are important and have to be good at their jobs but it's not 'harder' than teaching kids
   • if anything it's a bit easier because you don't have to simplify the material to the same degree and for the most part everyone wants to be there
   • and you're not responsible for their emotional well-being and teaching them how to person as well as teaching them science and math and literature
   • so yeah teachers are like the most important people ever and our jobs are valuable and Ryland Grace loves being a MIDDLE SCHOOL TEACHER g-ddamit
   • thank you for attending my rant
   • HUMAN-MADE WORK
   • AI could never
   • I was using em dashes before AI was even a twinkle in some tech bros eye
   • AND I WILL CONTINUE TO USE THEM FUCK YOU VERY MUCH
   • Ryland Grace does not curse but I sure as hell do
   • Mix of book and movie canon
   • Ryland Grace Does Not Swear
   • Fluff and Humor
   • snapshots from an intergalactic roadtrip
   • this is very silly y'all
   • not quite crack but getting close
   • i mean probably
   • I don't know enough about medical accuracies so from that I'm assuming that there are inaccuracies
   • But Maybe I have been accidentally Competent
   • Name My OCs?
   • Not in this Fandom!
   • They might accidentally become important and thus get sent to space
   • It's really better for them if they're one-dimensional
   • and they don't have enough personality to care anyway
   • ISS | International Space Station
   • I cannot stress enough how a lot of these happenings are probably just as innaccurate as the court room scene in the book
   • but suspend your disbelief and enjoy the fic
   • I mean there's an alien and he's literally a Rock so who cares?
   • If the answer is 'you' then keep your mouth shut
   • because the rest of us want to be as delusional as Lokken's crush on Ryland Grace
   • No spoilers but she just might get one!
   • Olesya Ilyukhina has ADHD
   • she's an engineer this cannot POSSIBLY come as a surprise to you
   • on that note
   • Does Rocky have Eridian adhd question
   • probably statement
   • This is a little silly and very self-indulgent
   • very little plot only fluff
   • but I wrote An Angst earlier so I deserve it
   • Maybe this borders on crack but I like to think it's in character?
   • Zillow listings as a point of contention
   • Eva Stratt does NOT share well

   Summary

   People have a image of Dr. Ryland Grace. A bit of an oddball, hard working, loves a punny shirt, and is still very much a teacher for all that he's head scientist. Sometimes, however, he does something that is outside expectations. Even the ones he has of himself.
