    Summary

    It's been years since Doctor Ryland Grace saved Erid and Earth. He is content with his life, happy just to teach the next generation of Eridians and have the occasional game night with Rocky and Adrian in his dome. For the most part, nothing changes.

    And that's the problem. Shouldn't Grace, y'know...age? When Rocky indicates that he should be sixty human years old by now, Grace can't reconcile the young face in the mirror with the time that his friend has religiously kept.

    Things get more complicated when another undoubtedly human ship shows up at the edge of the 40 Eridani system. Suddenly Grace is playing ambassador between the two species, and tensions are rising between them. Will this be a successful second contact, or is the peaceful life Grace just wants to live too much to ask for?

    Summary

    Grace messes up an experiment. You are never going to let him live it down, but he's intent on destroying all evidence, and isn't afraid to be childish about it. Fortunately, neither are you.
    AKA I have been reduced to using my STEM degree for scientific accuracy in my fluffy fics about...tickle fights. Totally foresaw this during my university education. Amazing.

    It's not every day you wake up with five arms and no eyes, but Ryland Grace stopped having normal days a very long time ago.

    Summary

    Grace, after 40 years, had long ago accepted that he didn't have much time left on Erid but just as he was about to tell his best friend that, Rocky came with a solution.

    Aka Grace gets deaged but a little too much so someone needs to take care of him until the Eridian scientists can undo it.

    Summary

    It’s at this point that I realise I don’t know where I am.
    And it’s at
    this point that I realise: I don’t know who I am.

     

    When Ryland Grace wakes up in a jail cell and Eva Stratt finds herself in the middle of a spacewalk, neither of them are particularly clear on how they ended up there. Grace must do his best to reverse-engineer whatever phenomenon landed him in Stratt's body, while Stratt must work with Rocky to investigate Tau Ceti's Astrophage population.

    Unfortunately, Grace is stuck on Earth.

    And Stratt doesn't remember a thing.
