    Summary

    James "Rocky" Rockwell has to leave his dream job at NASA due to an episode he would rather not speak about. He moves to San Fransisco to begin his new career, and stops at a little diner on the way to his new apartment. There, he sees someone incredibly familiar, though they have never met before.
    Not in this lifetime, at least.

    Memories come flooding back to Rocky of an entirely different life he lived. The universe has given him the chance to reunite with the person he holds closest to his heart. And the one who is currently holding him up on the diner floor, telling someone that he needs an ambulance. Rocky grips the sleeve of his cardigan, calls Grace's name, and Grace holds onto him tighter.

    Does he remember, too?

    Summary

    "Thanks for your hard work as always.” I give him a thumbs up that he returns.

    (Of course it's actually a thumbs down.)

    “No need to thank. We both work hard to stop astrophage from eating stars.”

    I nod. It’d be two hundred years before Earth and Erid would see the real effects of the stars dimming. I’d be long dead. But for the Eridians, that was only a fourth of their life span. Though if everything goes according to plan, we’ll have a solution figured out way before it gets to that point.

    A somewhat lighthearted canon divergence where no suicide mission is needed and everyone stays on Earth (for now)

    Summary

    Two days after their first contact—and more importantly, their first words—Grace sets up his thinking machine to speak.

    Rocky does not need the assistance of a machine for Grace’s language. It is ugly and harsh to listen to, but it’s relatively simple to learn. That, and, well—Rocky was alone for a very, very long time before he met Grace. He maybe hangs on to each word a little more than strictly necessary. Grace only needs to tell him each word once for Rocky to know it forever.

    Grace, though…

    Well, he’s lucky Rocky is patient. Let’s leave it at that.

    Summary

    "Are you another teacher here?"

    "Uh, yeah! I teach science for 6th and 8th grade. What about you?"

    "Amaze, amaze. I teach in technology wing. Robotics."

    "You new?"

    "Yes. Just traveled here few days ago. Applied for job. Got job."

    "Cool."

    A strange new teacher is hired at Grover Cleveland Middle, and so far, Mr. Grace has heard more gossip than he's heard during his entire 7 years of teaching. He's friendly, but awkward and offputting to the point where people are starting to think he's not human.

    An alternate universe where most of the cast are members of the school staff, and Rocky is the weird new teacher who most definitely isn't pretending to be a human to hide from the government officials at NASA trying to study him.

    Summary

    “Grace can feel song, question?” Rocky asked, slower than usual. The cooing had lulled him, too.

    “I… Maybe? Yeah,” Grace whispered, and Rocky had to focus to understand the slurring.

    “Humans can feel sound, question?”

    Grace huffed a small laugh. “Sometimes, yeah. For example, when the sound is… very low and loud, we can feel it in our chests.”

    “Song is neither low nor loud.” That would have an entirely different effect.

    “I know. I can still feel it, I think. It’s strange.”

    “Good strange, question?”

    “Good strange, yeah.”

    Grace could feel sound. Grace could feel Rocky’s songs.

    Hmm.

    Rocky discovers nature's laws aren't as inflexible as they'd thought. He puts this to good use.
