Summary
"How—" Stratt cuts herself off. There's more murmuring. "Did you do it?"
A small noise croaks in the back of Grace's throat when he opens his mouth to reply. No words come out.
Did you do it? Did you save the world? Did you do what we expected of you?
He wonders: if he says no, will they let him land at all?
"I did it," Grace says, darting his eyes over to Rocky apologetically. Technically it'd been a team effort, but they can't know that yet.
There's more chattering on the other end, lots of excited voices. Someone laughs and the sound of it cuts through him like a knife.
They're celebrating and happy. They almost killed him and they're laughing.
There's a clattering sound, like the radio is being picked up or moved, then Stratt's voice comes through again.
"We're sending coordinates for you to land."
Grace didn't expect it to be that easy. He stares down at the walkie in shock.
"Welcome home, Dr. Grace."
The line goes dead.or: rocky and grace (+simon) go to earth instead of erid

Summary
“Don’t let the blood get into your ship, okay?”
That made Grace pause. “What?!”
“If I die, you have to get my body out of here,” the man pleaded, but Grace had to go. His oxygen was out. The guy would be dead in six minutes. “You have to get me out, even if I’m dead. Hey!”
“Just hold on!” Grace propelled himself through zero gravity, away from the radio.
“Don’t leave me here-!” The roar echoed through the ship halls.
---
When Ryland Grace complained about being a little bored, maybe a little lonely, he thought a nostalgic trip around Erid would fix him right up. The last thing he expected was to find deadly space bacteria in deep space and a human. Alive.

Summary
The worst part about it, Simon thinks, is that when his skin starts to slough off, it’s replaced by a film of blood. And when that starts, the line of demarcation that separates what was strictly him and strictly other starts to fade. Even when his left arm detaches with an uneven rip and the voice in his head stops being his voice, he still hopes there’s a way to distill his real self from the sludge.
Simon subscribes to the idea that people get what they deserve as a consequence of their actions. Something along the lines of karma. It brings a sense of closure, and he’ll take closure where he can get it. With that, Simon submits himself to the notion he’s getting exactly what he deserves. This is how it’s going to end - with him blindly slinging an axe in a battle for unsatisfying gulps of metallic air, fumbling around the dark for a line that used to exist.
But he wakes up. And the first thing Simon’s traitorous brain thinks is that this man has the kindest eyes he’s ever seen.

Summary
In 1949, we sent the first primate to space.
A little rhesus monkey. The scientists forced him into the rocket.
He died upon impact with the ground. But, first, far from home, a monkey touched the stars.
Far from home, a child of Earth was spat out. Here, he is resurrected, emerged into a new world.
Monkey... something has followed you.
(Three years in to the journey to Erid, there is something so bright and big in the Hail Mary’s path that it triggers an automatic shutdown of their engines.
When they stop, there is nothing bright there. In the center of where this anomaly would have been, there is a submarine. An improbable submarine, and the even more improbable person inside of it. He is far from home, praying for safety in his dreams, where he floats in the water of kind oceans and hears his mother spin bedtime stories. He wants, with all his being, to be saved.
Someone is listening. Someone is re-writing his story.
Someone gives him Grace.)

Summary
A sob catches in his throat, and another wracks his whole body. He shakes with the weight of his own death.
The blood closes in on him. He secures the life jacket to the black box and asks his mother in the afterlife to keep it safe. He wonders if she did. He will never know.
Then, the blur clears from his vision. His tears are forgotten about if only for a moment.
He’s in a meadow, watched over by hundreds, if not thousands, of stars on a backdrop of painted clouds of dust incomprehensibly ancient. The Milky Way galaxy, come to look down on him from a cloudless night sky. A lone white moon sits full and bright as its pupil. A breeze catches his hair and his face with a nip of cold; a gentle touch that tells him do not worry. You are free now.
~~~
Simon wakes from death to an earthly forest. A month before, Ava finds herself in a junkyard, far from any civilization. When Simon finds her, they come to an agreement to cooperate for survival. Over time, they reconcile with their past. Then, they open up.
Still, they have questions. Namely, where are they? Why are they here? And what is that strange smoke in the distance?
