    Summary

    Several years after choosing to live the rest of his life out with Rocky and Adrian, Ryland Grace's body is quietly failing under the brutal 2.12G gravity of Erid. Desperate to bridge the physical divide before Grace's time runs out, Rocky and Adrian misinterpret an old digital file of Avatar as a historical fact and secretly engineer life-like flesh and blood human "vessels" for themselves, but the sensory overload of piloting a human body changes everything Rocky understands about humans.

    And how he sees Grace.

    Summary

    What the title says. About 11 years ago (from my perspective; relativity is weird) I was launched into space onboard the Hail Mary to figure out a solution to the Astrophage problem. Now I live on an alien planet I call Erid, in the 40-Eridani system. Yes, I’m actually Ryland Grace. Ask me anything.

    Also, can someone please tell me if Eva Stratt is alive? And ideally send me a video of you punching her in the face? Guess that’s a long shot, but it can’t hurt to ask.

    ---

    Grace and Rocky figure out how to connect to Earth's internet from Erid. They may not have thought this through.

    Summary

    As he stared down into the lumpy grey goop that was his evening rations, he contemplated whether it was really worth it.

    They’d come a very long way just for Grace to give up and die at the last hurdle, both physically and emotionally. The Tau Ceti system was a long, long way away now, and Grace had faced not one but two highly emotional suicide missions. Three, if you counted the time before he was given a military grade roofie and hucked into space without his memories.

     

    Rocky and Grace make it back to Erid! Huzzah!
    Now they have to navigate all of... that.

    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

    "Look, I know this isn't ideal," Qibli looked into Winter's eyes. "But if this works, we might get out of this alive."

    Winter sighed in defeat. "You owe me."

    Qibli didn't talk about his family. He barely thought about them anymore. That was a chapter of his life that had passed a long time ago. A terrible, awful chapter. But when some familiar faces show up with a proposition he literally can't refuse, Qibli has to make some difficult decisions that may change everything once thought was true. All the while he attempts to solve a dangerous mystery and hold a lie to keep both he and his friend Winter, safe.
