    Summary

    “So, I was thinking about why I’ve been throwing up. I think some of it is the actual, physical properties of the taumoeba, but I honestly think half the battle is the taste. See, humans use smell and taste to tell us if food is going to make us sick, like it’s moldy or smells weird, that sends a signal for disgust to our brains to stop us from eating it, and that triggers nausea.”

    “I feel this way about all human food,” I say, and Grace rolls its eyes.

    “Sure. But I think my brain is being overprotective about the taumoeba. It’s the same reason why human kids get picky or people throw up during pregnancy, even when the food they’re eating is perfectly edible. My brain is signalling to me that I shouldn’t want it in my body, mostly because -- well, I don’t. It smells like mildew and algae and has the texture of chia seed pudding that was forgotten at the back of a fridge. But that’s making me nauseous when I even think about putting it in my mouth, which makes me more likely to throw up.”

    “But how would you eat without using your mouth?” I ask.

    Grace grins at me. “That, my friend, is exactly the question I’ve been asking myself. And I think the answer might be something called a nasogastric tube."

    Summary

    Adrian’s below us. A beautiful swirl of greens. With a view like that, I can only stay a little mad at it with the little “almost killed us” fiasco. Unfamiliar constellations and the arm of the Milky Way fill the rest of my view. I start panning my view closer to Tau Ceti when I spot it.

    It’s another Hail Mary.

    Summary

    Grace is put on cleaning duty and gets a mysterious fourth bag of vodka for his troubles.

    Rocky begrudgingly takes on the role of Designated Driver slash Space Blob Supervisor, and receives a different kind of gift in return.


    “Grace. What are you doing?”

    Grace's mouth, still smushed against my xenonite, curves upward: Contentment, happiness, satisfaction. Interesting, that it should be prone to smiling when made stupid by ethanol, but not so much when it gets stupid because of a lack of sleep.

    “‘s called a kiss, buddy. I‘m givin’ you. A kiss. ‘cause you're my best friend annnnd I like you. And y’nno what, you're actually pretty nice. When you’re not goin’ outta your way to be mean to me, that is.”

    Summary

    “What are you talking about?” Grace's fingers played quick chords as he spoke. He didn’t even look as he did it, but it did not make them any less purposeful.

    “Discussing possible reasons why Tau Ceti is not infected while other stars are,” Eva replied deftly. “I would invite you to join, but we were just finishing—”

    “Oh, that’s easy.” His hand twisted a knob, and the notes came out sharper. “It is infected—Petrova Line and everything.”

    In Grace's opinion, dreaming about time traveling is no excuse for getting out of practice with his Eridian. To the rest of the Petrova Taskforce, it seems a bit odd that their resident Astrophage expert has suddenly taken to carrying a keyboard around and playing it whenever he speaks. Eva Stratt resolves to figure out what is going on.

    Summary

    “Grace safe now,” Rocky repeated. “Grace safe with Rocky.”

    Of course he was safe here -- or as safe as an untrained astronaut could be on a jury-rigged ship rocketing through deep space on a mission he only half understood with his alien best friend, anyway. But there had been a time…

    He wasn’t ready to say it out loud. Not yet. Maybe not ever. But part of him was sure he’d experienced… something. Something worse than being held down, sedated, and then forced into a suicide mission. Something really bad. Something unspeakable.

    (Grace has nightmares. He starts to piece together what happened to him before he left academia.)

    Summary

    Oh god.

    Glancing away from the taunting paper, he grabbed his beer and took a few gulps, setting it down when it was nearly empty. He risked a glance again and quickly cringed, slapping his hands over his face.

    “Fuck,” he mumbled.

    “Rough day?”

    Nearly falling over his seat, Eric turned and was met with warm brown eyes.

    Summary

    “Hey,” Harry says, “you know you can tell me about it, right?”

    Tom frowns. “Um...”

    “I mean, the pit. You spent two days alone down there. I have a hard time believing nothing happened.”

    Tom feels a surge of fear rise from some miserable corner in the back of his head. “Harry, if I thought there was anything worth saying I would’ve said it already.”

    “Okay,” says Harry, tight, “but I just -”

    “Really, nothing happened,” Tom insists, grateful for the fact that Harry can’t see his face. “I got a few scrapes, wandered around aimlessly, and didn’t eat. Thrilling stuff.”

    He’s lying out his ass, blatantly and irreparably. He knows it, and it feels bad, but if he told the truth? Now, Harry, I did kill a man, but don’t be mad, he deserved it, I promise - he can’t stand the idea of driving Harry away from his side tonight.

    Summary

    “Where am I?”

    The man startled, looking up at him with wide eyes. “Shit.”

    John knew that face, even if he didn’t know every wrinkle and scar on it, he knew his son. “Sam?”

    "Dad,” Sam said, looking down at the book, then up at him. “Uh, look, I can explain.”

    “Explain quicker,” John said, lowering his gun, but not clicking the safety on.

    “Short story? You’re… a memory.” Sam winced.

    “What.”

    “Dean and I were hunting a Baku, someone summoned one to feed on their negative emotions, but it got loose and started feeding on good, bad, any kind of memory it was hungry for. We were looking for a spell to trap it, but, uh, our Japanese isn’t as good as Bobby’s apparently and Dean had disappeared somewhere in his memories with a Baku on his tail. I’m trying to… to pull him out.”

    “And you pulled me out.” John’s eyes flicked down to his journal, open on the table.

    Summary

    Erin Hunnicutt spends the summer in Seattle with her dad and the old war buddies she didn't know he had.

    “My mom said we met when I was younger,” Erin said. She was still holding her green bag, standing stiffly in the middle of the living room. “Have you and my dad been friends for a long time?”

    “Let’s see…we met in ‘52 That’d be 15 years now. I guess when you put it like that it just makes me sound old,” Hawkeye said.

    Erin didn’t think he looked any older than her father. She’d always thought her father looked old, that there were lines in his face that weren’t in the faces of her friends’ fathers. She’d seen photos of him just before she was born. He looked young in those pictures. There was a childlike quality to his smile.

    “You met my dad during the war,” Erin said.

    Hawkeye smiled at her, and then tilted his head to one side, curiously. “He really didn’t tell you a thing about me, did he?” he said.

    “My dad doesn’t tell me anything,” Erin said.

    Hawkeye rolled his eyes. “Well, that makes two of us,” he said. “Your dad, I mean, not my dad. My dad calls me to tell me what he had for lunch.”

    Mike thinks it all started the day the Byers moved into their house.

    Having sold their house in Hawkins a year and a half prior and moved to California, when they came back, and the town got put in lockdown, they didn’t have a place to go.

    Mike had kindly offered up their place during dinner.
