    Summary

    It’s him.

    Not him, as in Grace, but him as in the maybe-twin in the photo.

    He has this sad, stricken face on him, and is standing stock still several feet away.

    “Hey there,” Grace attempts.

    “Ry?”

    Or, Colt and Grace are estranged twins who begin to have very strange shared dreams.

    Summary

    Rocky had nearly sacrificed himself to save his friend, but Grace wouldn't let him. After dragging him back to the airlock between the Eridian and human sides of the ship, a bit of over-engineering risks the whole mission.

    When Rocky wakes up, he finds Grace in the airlock with him. As awful as it already is, there's also something horribly wrong with his body.

    Summary

    The Hail Mary has been shot out into the depths of the infinite void of space to search for an answer that may not even be there. Aboard, the three crew members lay in stasis as the ship hurtles like an arrow towards a distant star, with no hope of return, but a desperate hope to make things right.

    At home, two brothers are left in sudden and violent grief. A woman grapples with whether or not she made the right decision. The world strains and suffers under the weight of the coming Fimbulwinter.

    And then one of the beetles returns.

    Thirteen years early.

    Summary

    Summary

    Scruffy beard, glasses, hair in disarray. He's in a simple button-down and jeans, no place to hide any meaningful weapons, and faces away from Driver—exposes his vulnerable side, forgoes line of sight—to crouch in front of two boys who have been so silent he only now notices.

    “C'mere,” the man mutters. He hoists one of them up and into his arms. The boy rests his cheek on the man's shoulder with a quiet sniffle, eyes squeezed shut. His small hands wrap around the man's nape in a death grip. He has a SpongeBob-patterned bandaid on his nose bridge.

    The other boy grips onto the man's shirt hem with just as much vigor, though his eyes are wide open. He looks up at Driver with pointed eyes, clear and devastatingly full of suspicion.

    They look at each other for half a moment of contemplative quiet.

    Then, softly, “What floor?” Driver asks.

    The elevator door closes.

    or

    Driver moves to the new apartment. Instead of Irene, his neighbor is kind teacher Ryland Grace with two twin younger brothers he's taking care of.

    Summary

    In which Ryland kind of falls in love with his apartment neighbor. Now if only his brothers could stop acting like Casey was a threat to his safety. He was sometimes oblivious but not that dumb. He could make his own judgements thank you very much. The window for overprotective brother antics was far gone now. Court and Colt has to suck it up if they wanted back into his life.

    OR

    Like recognizes like after all. Court does not like the man that made a home by his brother's side and the feeling is mutual. Colt would like to say he's making an effort but he doesn't trust this Driver either. Ryland would very much like for the people he cared about to get along. He thinks he has earned it from what they put him through. And Casey? Well Casey already has what he wanted.

    Summary

    Ryland Grace is not going to be one of those *crazy* time travellers. He has more sense than that. He can totally fix things and get back home and nobody will ever be the wiser. The Acting thrum would be so proud of how well he is pulling this off right now.

    or

    Ryland Grace is a time traveller. He's also the world's smartest idiot. The rest of the team on the Vat is totally gonna let him fix things, but honestly, how stupid does he think they are?

    Summary

    The capsule touches down on Erid about a decade and a half after I do.

    There's a message inside translated into fourteen different languages. Y'know, just in case I've taught myself - and then the Eridians - Afrikaans.

    Hey, it reads. Can we have our ball back, please?

    Summary

    It’s been twenty-four years since the Hail Mary set off for Tau Ceti. The Sierra program is long dead, and Courtland Gentry has Eva Stratt in his crosshairs.

    As Jody goes into surgery to save their daughter’s life, Colt Seavers feels as alone as the day he found out his twin brother had been sent to another solar system.

    Nearly three hundred thousand miles above the Earth’s surface, Ryland Grace hears another human voice for the first time in eight dilated years. It’s not who he expects.

    or, the motion of three brothers through space, time, and gravity.

    Summary

    As the years go by and summers cool and winters become harsher, the name Ryland Grace is lifted up in churches, mosques, shrines, temples, synagogues, and all kinds of congregations around the world, big or small. Prayers for safety, for wisdom, for good health. His likeness is depicted in all manner of iconography – graffiti, prayer cards, murals, statues – the evolution of a clever fox at his side spreading like wildfire, a token of cleverness and ingenuity. His name is in the lisping whisper of a young child saying prayers before bed and in the heart of those who never had much room for faith in anything else before.

    Ryland Grace, they say. You have traveled so far, but you still have so long to go and so much to do. Protect us. Save us. May you find both wisdom and discernment. We have faith in you. Remember us. Save us.

    Nearly twelve light years from Earth, Ryland Grace wakes up with a jolt on the Hail Mary to his own name echoing in his head.

    Stigmatic Ryland Grace.

    Summary

    He catches a glimpse of himself in the small mirror across the room.

    It’s as if he’s been frozen in time. Nothing about him has changed since he last touched the surface of his home planet.

    But of course, that’s not true. Everything has changed.

    He doesn’t understand. He doesn’t know what this means. He’s a man of science. There are rules, immutable laws of the universe, no matter where in the universe one is. Entropy, decay, deterioration. Everything in the universe experiences it.

    Everything except him, it seems.

     

    Or: While on Erid, Ryland Grace makes a startling realization: he seems to have stopped aging.

    Summary

    Ryland Grace went into a coma 10 days before the Hail Mary launched, and his crew were put into their own comas. Turns out there's a ten-day difference in wake-up time, too; and, unfortunately for Ilyukhina and Yao, ten days is enough time to make first contact.

    Tuesday night
    Brought the carcass back. At first I assumed I would only be studying it, getting a peek at what Tom is up to these days--see if he's lost his touch. But it's still got a spark of life in it!
