    Summary

    It's not jealousy. Adrian is adamant about that. They are actually insisting that it’s not any emotion at all. Not even dislike. They are simply completely uninterested in anything that concerns “the human”. 

    Rocky believes them. Adrian has always been the level-headed one out of the two of them. They are too logical to be jealous. They acknowledge that Grace and Rocky have a special bond after everything they went through together and also understand that none of that will ever pose a threat to their relationship. 

    Neither are they heartless or ungrateful. They know that Grace is the only reason that Rocky is back at all, the only reason their star has stopped dying. Adrian has told Rocky again and again that they are grateful and happy and wish the alien no ill will. They even helped with the construction of the biodome.

    And yet they have no desire to get to know Grace. 

    **************

    You know those videos where the dad is like "You may keep the cat but I will have nothing to do with it" and a few days later they are smothering the kitty with cuddles and love?

    Adrian never stood a chance.

    Summary

    “They kept asking questions that had nothing to do with Quinn’s performance.” I roll my eyes and notice that I’m getting worked up again. Trying to get the midnight blue Eridian back on track had been a nightmare and I’d almost lost my composure a couple of times. “Just what I like to do and what I’ve seen of Erid so far and if they can give me a tour once my suit is finished. And they insisted I tell them what my favorite type of mineral is. I mean, why would they want to know that? What does that have to do with how their kid is doing in class?”

    Midway through my rant Rocky has stopped carding his claw through my hair. He is silent for a few seconds and I’m just about to ask him if he’s alright when his whole body starts to tremble. It alarms me enough that I wiggle my arms underneath me and lift my upper body off the couch. 

    “Rock?”

    But then the trembling morphs into full on shaking and then laughter so loud and shrill that I have to cover my ears.

    Summary

    “What is a ‘field trip’?”   

    The unexpected question makes me stop in my tracks. I stumble over my own two feet and almost bite my own tongue which is a new low, even for me. If I keep going like this I am never going to beat the clumsy human allegations. At least Rocky is not here. If he’d witnessed my latest embarrassing blunder he would have found ways to tease me about it for a week straight. It’s unfortunate that my class has to see me like this but they are a lot more forgiving and understanding of their ungraceful teacher than my best friend. A fact I like to hold over his head from time to time. 

    Not that he cares. He maintains that he’s earned the right to mock me as much as he likes after having to watch me stumble and fall repeatedly over the same threshold for four years. 

    And maybe he’s not wrong. 

    Don’t ever tell him I said that.

    ********

    There is no way Grace can take the pebbles on a field trip. At least not without help.

    Summary

    The Eridian thrills a high sound that doesn’t get picked up by the translator which means that it has no clear meaning. Like when a human gasps or sucks in a deep breath. It actually sounds a little like that. When they notice that I’m staring straight at them they scramble back into their hiding spot and hold very still. 

    A child, I realize with a start.

    That’s a child! 

    “Hey,” I call and the kid squeaks again. I was about to get to my feet but abort the movement and crawl closer on my hands and knees until I'm inches away from the xenonite wall. I wait and it takes me much too long to realize that they don’t have to peek around the corner to see if I’m still there.

    “Hey there,” I try again, my voice low and calm. It’s my teacher voice, the one I use for shy and scared students. 

    Used. 

    The fact that I haven’t had to use it for years and it still comes to me automatically almost knocks the air out of my lungs but this is not about me, it’s about making sure the little pebble doesn’t die of fright from the scary alien. “Hi, I’m Grace. It’s alright, you don’t have to be scared.”

    Summary

    "And you know what, too!" Adrian honks. "If Grace was still here, he would tell you that you are being a horrible, lazy, ridiculous being!"

    "Take that back!" Rocky roars.

    Well. This is awkward, Grace thinks right next to them. He fidgets with his claws and wishes he still had thumbs.

    It's another being unable to tell anyone about it.

    Summary

    Suddenly feeling a lot more nauseous and a lot less accomplished, he sat down next to the fire, which was now just a gentle smolder. Bringing his knees up to his chest, he wrapped his arms around them, rested his head against them, and stared into the fire. One of his hands found its way to his neck, grasping the compass still hanging there. The wind was howling through the trees and if he tried he could almost hear a voice in it, calling something he couldn’t make out. Each creaking branch and rustle in the grass seemed to add to it, creating a sort of wild harmony. Despite everything, it was soothing, a lullaby he hadn’t heard since he was just a tiny baby in a basket, deposited in the woods in a strange moment of mercy, yet to be found by a man with wings.

    Summary

    Simon waited.

    Waited for them to apologize. Tell him there’s nothing they could do. That he wasn’t worth the trouble or resources, that he wasn’t worth the time.

    But that never came.

    Instead, after a second Grace came back on the line, his voice sounding determined now. “Alright,” he said. “Hang tight.”

    Simon blinked slowly. “What?”

    Summary

    Derek Hutchins survived the impossible. Now he has to survive something harder: being taken care of.

    Avery is very good at this. Derek is very bad at accepting it. They are both, slowly, figuring it out.

    A collection of soft moments set after the end of everything, grocery runs and bad Skywars games and 2am conversations and learning, little by little, what it means to just exist without the weight of the universe pressing down.

    Whatever you do at the crossroads, keep going forward.

    They did. This is what comes next.

    Summary

    Sixteen-year-old Avery Hastings has a relatively normal life: learning to drive, trying his best not to fail algebra, and helping his best friend Derek Hutchins–the human Vessel of an eldritch entity known as the King in Yellow–stay safe from secret government agents who want to find him after their breakneck escape from the Department of Metaphysical Sciences nearly six months ago. Things get crazy sometimes, but Avery wouldn’t have it any other way.
    Behind the scenes, however, new threats are brewing. The Department has been infiltrated by another entity like the King: powerful, incomprehensible, and intent on ushering in an age of madness, assisted by its human worshipers in the Department and elsewhere. With the government agency responsible for curbing metaphysical threats compromised, and Derek’s eldritch ‘episodes’ worsening, Avery, Derek, their friend Alex, and an unlikely ally from within the organization will have to figure out a way to prevent the apocalypse themselves.

    “What did you mean…” Simon said, “When you said you ‘didn’t volunteer for this?’”

    Grace breathed through his nose, his lips forming a thin line as he shook his head. 

    “Grace. What did you mean?”

    When Simon continues to mistreat Grace and Rocky, Grace finally stands up to him, leading to the two of them realizing they're more alike than they originally thought.

    Summary

    “Well, I think it started with a B. Mr. B… Buh… uh…” Grace swung the door open.

    Before he could stop himself, he crashed into a person who was going out at the same time...
    He then realized, in the collision, he had spilled his coffee all over this stranger. Oh no.

    “Gah-what the fuck, man?!” the stranger exclaimed in a deep, gravelly tone.

    “Oh my gosh oh my gosh I’m so sorry-” Grace stepped back, barely keeping his balance, then started digging in his bag. “I-I think i have napkins o-or something.” As he pulled the napkins out and pressed them to the stranger’s chest, he noticed the guy’s lanyard.

    Simon Butcher, Language Arts

    Oh yeah, that was the name.

    OR

    Ryland Grace is a middle school science teacher, with very little life outside of being such. Which doesn't really bother him. That is, until he meets the new English teacher, Simon Butcher. The two are so very different, like a hot black coffee and a caramel frappacino. But, is that really such a bad thing? As the too get closer, maybe their differences aren't as pronounced as they'd thought...
    What's that phrase, 'opposites attract?'
