    Summary

    Here’s the problem: Grace has a soulmate.
    His soulmate is looking for him. Would be great, if there wasn’t a big pay check attached to it.

    “Tom Ryder, Hollywood’s favourite playboy, seeking soulmate to settle down.”

    But Colt had told him “oh yeah, Gail is basically forcing him to do this for the publicity. She thought a grand love story behind the scenes would create hype for the movie.”
    And the soulmate would receive quite the hefty check for staying silent and being professional arm candy.

    Because, apparently everyone fussed over that Gosling guy and his soulmate wife. The fans need a new “perfect” couple to become scarily parasocial with.

    Grace is not about to be a freaking pay check.

    Summary

    Eva Stratt is caught in a time loop. Killing Ryland Grace once was bad, but doing it hundreds of times? Well, it's not as if she could ever make a different choice, right?

    Summary

    They’re 8 months out from Erid when it happens. The Hail Mary doesn't exactly have any pre-programmed alerts for announcing the approach of what Rocky would later find out is a wormhole, but to her credit, the ship does try her best.

    "Approaching anomaly detected."

    Suddenly Rocky finds himself in a strange new space. It's much smaller than the Hail Mary, with strange metal walls and no life support. But to his surprise and delight, there's another human here! Only, they don't seem to be in space anymore. And the new human keeps treating Rocky like he's not real, which, rude. And the human seems so sad and scared, it reminds Rocky so much of when Grace admitted that their mission was a one-way trip. In fact, this new human reminds Rocky of Grace in a lot of ways.

    Wait, did the human say something about radiation?!

    That settles it. Rocky's getting this human out of here and back to Grace. There's no way he's letting anyone else die of radiation. Not on his watch.

    He's going to save this human and they're both going to go home. Together.

    Summary

    When Grace gets seemingly teleported by means unknown into the SM-13 right as it was nearing The Light, both Simon and Grace have no idea what is happening. Grace knows he was supposed to be in his house on Erid, Simon knows this new guy cannot possibly be a hallucination, and Ava, upon hearing Grace ramble about theories for how he got there, knows that new guy is Smart. Could-Secure-Our-Survival Smart.
    She orders Simon to bring Grace back to the surface, and thus begins Grace's ordeal in a starless universe.
