    Summary

    The flight deck crew of Stratt’s Vat are professionals. They do not eavesdrop on their bosses instead of doing their jobs. They are professionals. They can eavesdrop on their bosses while doing their jobs. Multitasking is a very important skill to have.

    Director Stratt and Dr. Grace are walking quickly across the flight deck, Carl easily keeping pace behind them. Willis and Mar share an amused look across the fuel line. Dr. Grace is flying to Australia within the hour to attend an Atrophage summit in Sydney. He is, of course, the keynote speaker. And he wants to take Carl.

    “His name is on the paper! He was instrumental to the process! Pleeease pleasepleaseplease please let me take Carl.”

    “...”

    Summary

    “The man is a pariah in his field. If you’d read his post-doctoral thesis,” Vale chuckles and shakes his head. “He’s not what I’d call ‘leadership material,’ in any case.”
    “Dr. Grace is very well respected on this ship, Friedrich,” Dr. Cohen says with a hint of reproach. “While you’re here, perhaps it is best not to say such things in polite company.”
    Vale rolls his eyes, but lets the subject drop with a muttered, “Really, what could Grace do to me?”
    The astrophysics team experiences a collective realization: Friedrich Vale might be a complete idiot, actually.
    -
    Or, Friedrich Vale is the newest scientist on Stratt's Vat. Friedrich Vale, for whatever reason, does not like Dr. Ryland Grace. Friedrich Vale is about to have a VERY bad time.
    Featuring the crew of Stratt's Vat being totally prepared to throw a bitch overboard if they so much as give Dr. Grace a dirty look, because he's too nice to do it himself.

    Summary

    After saving humanity alongside an alien engineer named Rocky, Ryland Grace never expects to survive long enough to see Erid—let alone become part of it.

    Exhausted, isolated, and carrying the quiet grief of losing Earth, Grace arrives on an alien world that should feel impossibly foreign. Instead, he finds himself drawn into the strange warmth of Eridian life: blunt honesty, communal care, relentless scientific collaboration… and Adrian, Rocky’s fiercely intelligent bonded partner, who takes one look at the worn-out human and decides he’s far too fragile to be left unsupervised.

    While Erid races to save its dying sun alongside their newest human scientist, Grace slowly discovers something he never expected after the Hail Mary mission:

    A home.

    Caught between astrophage research, cultural misunderstandings, accidental adoption by alien engineers, and an entire civilization determined to keep him alive despite his own terrible survival instincts, Grace learns that family is not always the one you are born into—

    Sometimes it is the one that chooses you across the stars. 💛

    Summary

    “Is it okay if I touch you?” the man breathes.

    Simon doesn't know why he asks. No, it's not okay. None of this is okay.

    “Please,” he continues when Simon doesn't respond. “I-I need permission.”

    Simon closes his eyes. It's his own type of silent defiance. If this man isn't just fucking with him – if he does, for some strange reason, feel bad or guilty about capturing him, then good. Let him drown in it.

    Simon is captured by a compulsive liar who, bafflingly, gives him food, smiles at him, and pretends the Quiet Rapture never happened.

    Grace saves the life of a violent human who seems to be under the terrifying delusion that every star and planet has disappeared without a trace.
