    Summary

    Grace slips up during a routine Q&A, causing a calamitous media fallout. Stratt won’t throw a drowning man a lifebuoy, and Grace spends 24 hours being carted around as an internet sensation. After his initial nerves lay off, he decides to stir the pot some more, experimenting with fashion and makeup to prove to his middle-schooler’s back in San-Fran that no bully should ever make you feel bad about how you present yourself to the world.

     

    Or: Grace goes viral and wears skintight leather pants. Everyone wins.

    Summary

    Court stared at the ground. He could just kill her. He was already here. But doing that wouldn’t save his baby brother, couldn’t bring him back. It wouldn’t even be justified, because vengeance only really worked if someone tangible to you was hurt. Even if Court could hold a gun to her head and force her to turn the ship around, it wouldn’t matter.

    Ryland didn’t even remember him.

    Summary

    The engineer takes my hand. His skin runs hot. Very hot. He doesn't let go at what I would gauge as a socially-acceptable handshake time interval. Are we just holding hands in the middle of the lab-workshop space? Guess we are.

    "I'm Rocky," he finally introduces himself. He has a hint of an accent, something lilting, melodic. I can't really place it.

    "Rocky," I repeat, slowly. "Like the movies?"

    "No," Rocky deadpans, giving me a look like I'm stupid. "Like the rocks."

    Summary

    “Who complained about you eating, question?” Someone must’ve said something. He’s had so many visitors in the last couple of days. Who was it? Grace has never questioned this part of himself. Grace huffs at me.

    “No one! I’m just trying to be polite! Eridians have special soundproof eating rooms, shouldn’t I?”

    “You are not Eridian!”

    He doesn’t need to meet our standards; he’s his own species! Some things he might need to change in his daily life to adapt to Erid life, but his food habits don’t need to be one of them. My words don’t comfort Grace like I thought they would. Grace shrinks into himself, and I wish I were on his side to hug him.

    or the Entities provide Grace with a culture teacher to prepare for life on Erid and he gets his first taste of Eridian inhospitality.
