    Summary

    For only a second, and maybe she imagined it, Carol thought she saw a glimmer of the most human expression Zosia had worn yet: annoyance.

    “And you’ll still be working on reversing this?” Zosia asked.

    “We wouldn’t be very good heroes if we didn’t, now would we?”

    or: Carol and Manousos have found a way to (maybe) undo the apocalypse. They need a willing(?) participant to help their cause.

    Almost three years into their journey to Erid, Grace and Rocky run into a black hole.

    Or rather, the other side of one.

    Hail Mary, Full of Grace...

    Summary

    The side of the ship had finally been prised open, a rectangular sized opening carved on its flank to allow enough room for the Eridians to get in with their equipment and out with the human. The second it opened, though, a rush of something thick and viscous came pouring out – almost liquidlike, spilling through the mouth of the ship and pooling at the feet of the Eridians who had crowded around. There was so much of it; dripping through the welding in the iron, coating thickly on what little Grace could see of the flooring inside, flowing freely now the ship had been opened. When the Eridians lifted their appendages to move away from it, the liquid stuck and clung to them, heavy like molasses puddled at their feet.

     

    “Rocky?”

    “Eridians are saying it is blood, Grace. Thing from ship is blood - human."

    Grace and Simon must learn to navigate their lives together on Erid, no matter how different they are.

    Summary

    “Don’t let the blood get into your ship, okay?”

    That made Grace pause. “What?!”

    “If I die, you have to get my body out of here,” the man pleaded, but Grace had to go. His oxygen was out. The guy would be dead in six minutes. “You have to get me out, even if I’m dead. Hey!”

    “Just hold on!” Grace propelled himself through zero gravity, away from the radio.

    “Don’t leave me here-!” The roar echoed through the ship halls.

    ---

    When Ryland Grace complained about being a little bored, maybe a little lonely, he thought a nostalgic trip around Erid would fix him right up. The last thing he expected was to find deadly space bacteria in deep space and a human. Alive.

    Summary

    He tries again to exert his influence, to shift forms, to remove himself from this place, to bend the fabric of the universe to his will, but he cannot. He is bound here, in this form made of flesh and bone and sinew, in this pile of cells, limited by their physical reality.
