    Dr. Ryland Grace was also deathly allergic to peanuts.

    An unexpected reaction leads to an unexpected conversation.

    Summary

    Grace didn't have much of anything these days. Less appetite, less strength, less of whatever it was that made a person reach for a disgusting coma food slurry bag and drink it down because it was necessary to live and do it all over again tomorrow because tomorrow existed and had things in it worth being alive for.

    Or - Grace's mental health deteriorates on the journey to Erid.

    Summary

    One thing that Rocky has learned about humans is that they like to look at pictures.

    Maybe. Or maybe it is just a particular habit of his Grace, who seems to pass more and more time sitting in the projection room and looking at his rolling images of Earth.

    Rocky likes Earth. Especially the beach. That’s Grace’s favorite place, too.

    But the pictures don’t change. Not more than they did the first time Grace showed him, with the waves crashing up onto the sand and the leaves of the trees rustling in the wind.

    Rocky's perspective of Grace's depression on the journey to Erid.

    Summary

    This is all Rocky's fault. He was stupid, stupid, stupid. How could he be so stupid and let this happen? Between the two of them, Grace was supposed to be the stupid one, not Rocky.

    They were supposed to be okay, fine. Rocky and Grace saved the stars, saved Earth and Erid, saved humans and eridians. Rocky helped Grace and Grace helped Rocky. Then Grace saved Rocky. So Rocky had to save Grace.

    Now they're supposed to be safe and fine.

    But Grace isn't fine. Not at all. And it's all his fault.

     

    Or, Grace accidentally comes into contact with Erid bacteria and gets sick, Rocky (understandably) panics

    Rocky drops his tools, making Grace jump. “Nightmare? Grace had nightmare?”

    He sounds panicked. Grace hurries to reassure him. “No, no, not a nightmare. Just a…just a dream.”

    Summary

    Measuring time gets a bit muddy when relativity is involved, but I’m pretty sure today is the fourteenth anniversary of the Hail Mary’s launch. It’s cool! Totally not making me freak out. After all it isn’t like I’ve experienced fourteen years—at most it’s been a couple months for me. I’m sure I could ask the ship to tell me, but I don’t want to know. I can be as logical as I want about everything, but it doesn’t make that awful weight that’s settled down in my belly shift even an inch. All my friends have moved on. Not that I had many to begin with, really, but the point still stands.

    The world moved on without me.

    -

    It's the fourteenth anniversary of the Hail Mary's launch. Grace struggles with the lack of closure. Set during the four year trip to Erid.
