    Summary

    “Carl and I made a baby,” Grace says into the phone, his fingers clasped around a petri dish. He rotates it admiringly, and Carl watches from the other side of a plexiglas panel. 

    Carl and I made a baby.

    Carl is vibrating with excitement, partially because this is the first major breakthrough they’ve had since Grace was roped into this mess a couple weeks back, and partially because there’s a specific kind of intimacy in hearing his name in Grace’s voice and watching his mouth move around the syllable.

    Grace had said to him, not that much earlier, we’re fathers, and beamed at him with honest, unadulterated pride. And Carl had beamed back, because when you’re a multi-use security guard in charge of a disgraced molecular biologist, it’s not hard to get excited over these kinds of discoveries. They had shared in that pride, and truthfully, it had been innocent on Carl’s behalf until that phone call.

    Summary

    “Hey Simon?”
    The voice is soft spoken, barely a whisper over the sound of seagulls calling and waves crashing over the rocky shore. Ryland cranes his head down to gaze at the man dozing in his lap.
    “Do you remember the first time we met?”

    Or

    Recounting how the two of them met, and every terrible situation that came after it.

    I finally was able to buy the book!! While i read there might be edits to previous chapters so keep an eye out!

    Summary

    "Is anyone going to be chaperoning us?"
    "Nope."

    There's a pause as Grace's mind works a million miles a second. He takes a deep breath, now more nervous. More.. quiet.
    "...Friend dinner?"
    "No." He says quieter.

    His face heats up as he thinks, swallowing then looking away as if ashamed. "Oh.. Carl I.. I'm sorry I don't..I don't date. Not anymore-” Ryland looks away, rubbing his arm as if ashamed at this fact. “I just.. It's not you-"
    "We don't have to date." Carl states, in that professional tone he used when serious.

     

    or the one where Ryland and Carl fail at being friends with benefits.. even 30 years later when Grace returns to Earth and Carl still loves him.

    Summary

    Alternative universe
    Dual!POV
    .
    Grace really loves his job, he loves science, he loves experimenting…maybe in all aspects of his life.
    And suddenly a new chance for experiments opens up to him.
    .
    He shares a lab with his new colleague, tan, bold, tall engineer, enjoying their time and work together maybe a little too much when he finds himself thinking about him more often than not - observing the way he works, arms flexing in tight t-shirts as he adjusts his glasses cause, as Grace found out, he’s surprisingly poor sighted and yet he’s a 1.90 testosterone teaser and dry sarcasm.

    Grace wakes up this morning feeling especially frustrated and needy…maybe Rocky would finally notice him and stop acting like a prick.
