Summary
"No!- no!- stop-" Ryland squeaks out, watching his legs lifting upwards, he frantically waves his arms around to hold on to something
his body staggers around the already small ship, hitting the walls as he flails his arms around and kicks his legs
He grabs onto the pilot chair and clings as hard as he can.
"Breathe Ry, breathe" he says to himself
"Remember-" he huffs out "W.W.C.D, What Would Colt Do" he murmurs out, eyes shut
Ryland breathes in and out, giving him some peace of mind, until his head jerks up and he realizes what he said
"Who the fudge is Colt?"
And just like that, Colt's heart breaks into a million pieces
Or,
Ryland Grace wakes up 11.3 light years away from earth in a white sterile space ship in the middle of the vast of nowhere with no memories of his life back on Earth, alone.
If only he knew about the blinking cameras around the ship live streaming everything back to earth.

Summary
“Eye movement detected.”
For Courtland and Colt, it's been the mere blink of an eye.
For Ryland, it's been nearly eight months of fighting to survive in the situations he has found himself.
So, when Court and Colt finally do wake up, mission completed, travelling away from Earth, and are faced with a brother who they don't quite recognise, how do they even begin to get back some semblance of normal? And more importantly, of family?

Summary
When had they stopped being so close? College, when Ryland retreated to the east coast and Colt hitch hiked to Hollywood? High school, when Colt made friends outside of Ryland for the first time? When had they grown so far apart that Ryland couldn’t help Colt heal?
“I just,” he sniffed, “Did I do something wrong? I’m sorry if I did. I know we aren’t as close, but I don’t understand why you’re pushing me away.” the tears were falling faster, he couldn’t stop the words, they had built up for too long at this point.
“Ryland. It wasn’t just you I was pushing out. I didn’t want anyone to see me like that.” The light turns green and Colt starts moving again. “I-” Colt groans. “I’ve thought so many times about what I could say to you, to apologize. But, nothing ever seems like enough, y’know? And then it just seems easier to not, y’know, say anything.”
Ryland knows Colt well enough to know that’s the best apology he’s going to get. He swallows down his own anger, even if he wants to shout ‘can’t you try?’. He clenches his jaw, turning to look out the window.
OR
Ryland is present for the events of The Fall Guy, and it changes some things. Along the way Ryland and Colt reconnect.

Summary
“Grace is [UNKNOWN].” Rocky said helpfully.
“What?” Grace looked down at his companion, already half distracted from the pain. His fingers find his laptop like muscle memory, drifting to log the new sound while Rocky repeats, slow only the first time.
“[UNKNOWN]. [UNKNOWN]. [UNKNOWN]. [UNKNOW-] Grace need puppet-show, question?”

Summary
With the dismantling of the Sierra Program, Courtland Grace (formerly Gentry) can finally focus on those he left behind. Reuniting with his brothers is his top priority, and striving for some normality.
But when Ryland confesses to being caught up in something much bigger than either Courtland or Colt can begin to fathom, the small life he had only just begun to build again threatens to come crumbling down.
Or, how far would family be willing to go to stay together, despite the odds?

Summary
"Oh, understand," Rocky says. There is a moment's pause, and then he asks, "Grace word mean movement smooth and beautiful. What mean ♬♪♩?"
I type the last word in as 'Ryland', against my better judgement (I'm not looking forward to getting disappointedly full-named by Rocky's sardonic computer dictation).
"It technically means 'land of rye', which is a kind of grass grain, but not all human names are actually words. Actually, now that I think about it, names like 'Grace' are a bit of an exception."
Rocky considers this, claws tapping together the way they do when he's calculating something. I have just finished sealing away the remnants of Taumoeba Batch #72 when Rocky speaks up again.
"What mean Rocky name, question?"
I freeze. Crud.
━━━━━━━━
It's a long way to Erid. Rocky has some name-related revelations, and Grace is going through it. It's technically his fault, but he'll complain about it all the same.

Summary
"Colt?"
That voice he knew. Soft. Familiar. The kind of voice that had talked him through scraped knees and broken hearts and that one time he'd gotten spectacularly drunk after a stunt went sideways and he'd thought his career was over before Ryder picked him up and forcibly dusted him off.
*Ryland.*
Colt's eyes wouldn't focus. There was a shape beside the bed, blurry, backlit by that awful fluorescent glow. He tried to speak and managed something between a groan and a question mark.
"Hey, hey, it's okay. Don't try to talk yet." Ryland's hand found his, finally something warm, solid, *real*. "You're in the hospital. You're safe. Just... just rest, okay?"
Hospital. The word bounced around Colt's skull like a pinball, refusing to connect to anything meaningful. Why was he in a hospital? What happened? He tried to chase the memory but it slipped away, dissolving like smoke.

Summary
“Knock Knock.”
Ryland’s gaze was ripped away from the paper planets strung on his ceiling as the woman’s voice echoed through the otherwise empty classroom, sending a sudden chill down his spine. Stratt? He met her eyes from across his desk as she approached with that air of confidence she always had, so sure of herself and her decisions. She had brought with her a small satchel, one that Ryland knew instantly contained a copy of his research paper.
...How did he know that?

***
One day, his strumming was not answered.
The silence that answered his one verse of song was horrible and grating. Incomplete. Empty. A sick, horrible fear built up inside him.
(He was going to die out here. Alone.)
***
"Iz huhg," Grace sniffled out, sucking back in moisture from his noze, too. There was moisture and water and everything all over the place. "Huhg meens grayt, grayt, grayt affekshun."
"Oh," he said tentatively. Another hewmin thing! He shuffled closest to the wall Grace was huhging and leaned in. "Oh. Am I doing correctly, hmm?"
"Yis," Grace sighed out, calming down. He still leaked, though.
Oh, well. Leaky hewmins were his favorite, after all.

"You can keep taking hits all night," Ryder crosses his arms. "But you know what? I can think of a few people who can't."
He gestures behind him vaguely, one of the hired muscle nodding. Something in Colt's stomach twists.
"That brother of yours is in town, isn't he?"

Summary
On Rocky's grand tour of the Blip-A, eleven point nine light-years from home, Ryland Grace finally remembers the last piece of his Swiss cheese memory. He had never volunteered for this. He had said no. Yet they took him by force anyway. He doesn't want to ruin this perfect moment, but some memories hit too hard to hide, and Rocky has never once let him carry the heavy things alone.

Un-scientific Curiosity by khepri_sun

Summary
After a minorly life-threatening incident aboard the Hail Mary, Grace can't sleep. Rocky takes the opportunity to indulge their...less than scientific curiosity about their leaky human friend's body. Non-sexual intimacy abounds.
How fragile this creature is, Rocky realizes. Its endoskeleton is so flimsy, and so far beneath the soft skin it should really be protecting. How easily injured. How malleable. How easily Rocky would be able to crush the tiny blood vessels (“capillaries”) near the surface, leaving marks that remain tender and sore and turn many colors (“bruises”). Humans etch things into their outer skin, sometimes, for decoration or religious reasons. They use tiny needles to embed colored pigments just below the surface, where it remains visible to other humans forever (“tattoos”). Rocky wonders if Grace has any tattoos. Rocky thinks about being embedded underneath Grace’s skin.

Summary
Sierra Six.
That's Stratt's solution.
She is not from America, has not worked for the CIA, she doesn't know much about The Sierra Program but she's told if anyone can find Dr. Grace it's Six.
Carl is terrified.
or,
Ryland Grace gets out of Kazakhstan and runs to Poland where Jody and Colt (who he has not seen or spoken too in almost 3 years) are. The twins have to run though as Lloyd Hansen seems interested in them and think they know some guy named Six.
Six is tasked with grabbing a runaway scientist working on the same project as his baby brother is.
Naturally, their paths merge.
Who doesn't like a family reunion?

Summary
“…Did not think you’d notice.” He finally said, slumping a little. “Did not want you to notice-“
“In what world would I have missed it, bud?” Grace huffed with an exasperated smile, nudging into Rocky’s side. “You’re the highlight of my day, y’know.”
Rocky let out a happy chirp, seemingly involuntarily. He hunched in on himself after, as if embarrassed the sound had escaped him at all, and shuffled his legs a little in the sand.
“As are you of mine.”

Summary
“Nope–no you have to keep the pressure on that, Colt–” Jody grabbed his hand, guided it back upward, glancing over his shoulder to see what he was looking at.
There wasn’t anything of note behind him, just the pavement and a laughing couple stumbling their way around the corner.
Was he concussed?
“I’m not Colt,” Colt said, interrupting Jody’s thoughts. He cocked his head to the side, frowned, tried to lower his hand for the third time like he’d already forgotten what he was supposed to be doing. “I’m trying–I need to find Colt. M’not him.”
Oh, yeah, he was definitely fucking concussed.
(Ryland is concussed, Colt is framed for murder and concussed, and Jody is definitively lost in all the sauce because someone forgot to tell her that Colt has a twin brother.)

Summary
The Hail Mary spins with the Blip-A, connected only by a thin xenonite tunnel. Grace sits just feet away from Rocky, yet remains separated by a glassy barrier. He's desperate to communicate. Desperate for a friend. For reasons he can't explain, it seems like Rocky is too. This is the story of how they first learned to talk. Of their first real conversation.
