    Summary

    Ryland returning was a miracle, and he would hold onto it for dear life.

    He had been working to bring a better world to all of them, to Colt and Jody's twins, to his former students, to the children he hadn't even met. Court would make sure that it wouldn't all go to waste, that he'd get to see that world too.

    ~*~

    Grace returns to earth with the solution to the Astrophage crisis. The alien that he brought home with him however, was entirely unexpected. Especially to the US Government.

    Summary

    The engineer takes my hand. His skin runs hot. Very hot. He doesn't let go at what I would gauge as a socially-acceptable handshake time interval. Are we just holding hands in the middle of the lab-workshop space? Guess we are.

    "I'm Rocky," he finally introduces himself. He has a hint of an accent, something lilting, melodic. I can't really place it.

    "Rocky," I repeat, slowly. "Like the movies?"

    "No," Rocky deadpans, giving me a look like I'm stupid. "Like the rocks."

    Summary

    There is nothing.
    Ryland Grace knows this now. He was never religious, never believed in anything when he was alive. There’s a lot of different beliefs, back on Earth, of what lies beyond death. He didn’t believe in any of that, and he had thought that was fine. Now is different. Now he is, as far as he can tell, dead. Now is the first hand proof of what lies beyond. Now is…
    Nothing.
    A very dark, vast, infinite expanse of nothing.

    There is nothing for what could either be forever,

    or for no time at all.

    He’ll never get to see Erid.

    He’ll never get to see Adrian, who Rocky had told him so much about.

    He’ll never get to see if the taumoeba works, if either Erid or Earth are able to free their starts from the astrophage infection.

    He’ll never get to see Rocky again.



    And then there is something.


    Ryland Grace is given a second chance at life, but every waking moment is followed by the knowledge of what awaits him should he die, of what awaits everyone. He learns that some people should go meet that Nothing sooner, rather than later.

    Summary

    Since he was a child, Simon had been made aware that his life was limited compared to most people.

    At first, he thought he'd die while doing Eden's dirty work. Then it was believed that he'd die in prison as a death-row inmate.

    Now?

    Simon was lost in an unknown place of seemingly endless halls that a group of black box government spooks had tricked him into going. Having to escape danger from humans and monsters alike, will Simon find a way out?

    Also, who is the crazy guy with the talking pet rock that insists he's some kind of scientist and says he only wants to help him escape?
