Summary
Simon had been working at the middle school for barely two months, and somehow, everyone already knew who he was.
The students knew him as the new metals teacher with one arm who could somehow demonstrate every project better than they could. The faculty knew him as competent, punctual, and impossible to read. The boys' wrestling team knew him as the coach who had accidentally embarrassed their own coach during a demonstration match.And the girls' wrestling team? The girls' wrestling team seemed to know everything. Or at least they acted like they did.
"Coach Simon, do you know Dr. Grace?"
How could Simon NOT know who Dr. Grace was?
-OR-
A teacher AU.

Summary
Grace's webbed hands press against the glass, his curious chitters surprising the young man standing next to the viewport he was observing from. He’s newer on the team, Grace jogs his memory for his name again.
The young man holds his hand to his chest, breathing a sigh of relief, “Oh hey, Grace. Come to see your new neighbor?”
He nods, chirping his burning question, “Who is it?”
“Dunno,” Chris, right, that’s his name– “It’s another mer.”
(Or, Rocky and Adrian are helped by a merman named Grace, and in turn they save him. Now happily living in the Erid Marine Rehabilitation & Research Center, Grace is surprised when another injured merman named Simon is brought to recover in a neighboring tank. Perhaps, these two lost souls may finally have a home, together.)

Summary
“Whoa, wait, back up.” Holland instantly sat up in his seat, grabbing hold of the arm so he could twist round to face Holly. “Klein? As in Janet Klein? Did you fucking punch Janet?!”
“Mr. March!” Principal Harrison admonished, “Language!”
Holland gave him an apologetic wince before he looked back at Holly.
“Holly,” he said, gentler, “Look at me.” He waited until Holly complied with his request. “Honey, did you punch Janet in the face?”
——OR——
Janet runs her mouth, and Holly finds that sometimes, a little violence is very helpful, actually.

Summary
“But now he was sitting on the shore, shoes off and feet in the sand, humming to himself between sips of wine. The ocean was always so pretty at night, a soft fog settling over it. He hoped his body made a good source of food for the fish. He hadn’t looked it up. He should’ve.”
“It was too late to back out now, though.”
OR
Ryland Grace is fired from his job and can’t stand to find another purpose in life, so he decides enough is enough and ends it. Simon isn’t so keen on letting this human go.

Summary
Grace startles back as if burned, but he can’t go far with Simon’s hold still pressing him down. “Simon, please,” he whispers. “You don’t have to do this.”
That’s the thing Grace just doesn’t understand. Simon does have to do this. It’s the only way to sooth the itch under his skin, the urge to settle the score one way or another.

Summary
“I’m just teasing,” Simon says, voice gentler. Almost apologetic. Definitely still more amused than Ryland cares for. “I’m more surprised than anything.”
The sentence hangs alongside the rush of the shower, bouncing around the side of the tub. Bouncing around inside Ryland’s far too curious brain. Ryland sighs. “Why?”
Simon doesn’t point out the way his voice cracks, a small mercy. “Wasn’t sure you even bothered with lowly things like…in-flight self service.”

Summary
Wherein Ryland Grace and Simon unexpectedly find themselves on Earth after a long life on Erid. The discovery of the Petrova Line hasn't happened yet, and neither has the disastrous fight that left Colt unwilling to talk to Grace years before Stratt shipped him off to space.
Grace just wants to fix things with Colt before he works to get back to his Eridian happily ever after. Meanwhile, Simon isn't sure about any of this.

Summary
Ryland looked down at his clipboard, where he had written a reasonable script, supplied earlier that day by Adrian. Unfortunately, the moment his eyes landed on the words, his brain supplied only terrible ways to say them.
He chose the worst one.
“I need flowers with prominent reproductive structures.”
The man went completely still.
Ryland could feel his soul attempting to leave his body.
“For a plant anatomy lab,” he added quickly. “For my students. Middle school students. Not–” He cut himself off, because there was simply no end to that sentence that would improve his situation. Instead, he just weakly smiled, and added “Science.”
-:-:-
Ryland Grace is brilliant with biology, awkward with adults, and far too invested in giving his students the lessons they deserve. Simon Fleischer is a guarded florist who trusts plants more than people and has no interest in being needed by anyone again. But when a forgotten school lab brings Ryland into Root & Thorn, their lives begin to tangle in quiet, unexpected ways – through flowers, roots, and the terrifying possibility of being cared for properly.

Summary
It was a stupid fucking idea. That had already been established beyond reasonable doubt. However, Healy was not entirely opposed to stupid ideas, and often encouraged them, even passively, just to see what happened. That's how he ended up here, wasn't it?
It seemed to happen in a blur. It wasn't like there was a discernible point in which he could've thrown up his hands in disgust, or exhaustion, or- or-
“Y'like?” March was leaned up against the orange wood of his bathroom door frame, the pale backlight lighting him up like a star. “Is it convincing, at least?”
──
Holland March taps into his feminine side for a case. Jackson Healy, despite himself, also really wants to tap into March's feminine side.

Summary
The man lying in front of her looks like Six. Almost exactly like him, actually. But there are hairline differences that she's only really seeing now that he's close. He's big, but not particularly muscular. He's wearing a shirt with Snoopy on it. When she checks his mostly bare arms, she finds none of the scars or tattoos she made a careful study of during the few days she knew him.
She also realizes where she knows the divets on his nose from; her uncle has the exact same thing when he takes his reading glasses off and kisses her head goodnight.
He's not Six. She has no idea who this is.
"What the fuck." Claire whispers.

Summary
{Also can better see Grace. Study Grace. Understand what Grace fifth limb is.}
“Woah,” I laughed, “I appreciate it, but that’s… for mating and waste.”
{I know. Leaky human has many holes to leak from. Never see this one. Has TWO fluids. Interesting. Rocky will study. Answer questions that Grace won’t answer because blood goes to fifth limb and away from stupid squishy human brain. Like now.}
That jerk was right. I could feel two things at once. Rocky, above me, VERY deliberately pressing his carapace even closer into my body. And the soft, throbbing sensation between my legs, pressing at the fabric of my sweatpants.
Ohhhh fudge.

Rocky and Grace explore each other on their way to Erid with the help of some hot new xenonite technology!

Summary
When Grace gets seemingly teleported by means unknown into the SM-13 right as it was nearing The Light, both Simon and Grace have no idea what is happening. Grace knows he was supposed to be in his house on Erid, Simon knows this new guy cannot possibly be a hallucination, and Ava, upon hearing Grace ramble about theories for how he got there, knows that new guy is Smart. Could-Secure-Our-Survival Smart.
She orders Simon to bring Grace back to the surface, and thus begins Grace's ordeal in a starless universe.
