    Summary

    Sergeant Colt Seavers, Doctor Ryland Grace, and Convict Simon Fleisher didn’t sign up for this mission, but it turns out they’re the only ones that could do the job.

    Simon is an ex-terrorist, promised a clean record for his cooperation.

    Ryland is a middle school teacher who accidentally became a leading authority on astrophage, who they had to physically subdue in order to get aboard the mission.

    And Colt is just a former Air Force pilot who wanted to save his little brother.

    When the facility explosion takes out the only people on Earth who can save their sun, Stratt is left with her last option: The C Team

    Summary

    “They gave us like, four different apartment complexes to choose from.” Claire stabs her fork into her lasagna again, scoops up another bite, but waits to put it in her mouth. “I don't think you picked the place one of your brothers lives in on accident.”

    Courtland blinks once, the only tell that he's been caught off guard. 

    --

    Or, Courtland's introduction back into his younger brothers' lives is...not the smoothest of rides.

    Summary

    It's been a year since Rocky and Dr. Grace saved their worlds from freezing over. Dr. Ryland Grace's new life in a little enclosure at Erid is all he could wish for on an another planet, he gets to finally quit eating Taumoeba for a change; he even gets to teach Eridian middle-schoolers too! Though it's probably worth considering these "children" are his age. He could go home anytime really, Eridian scientists have been ready for a long while, it's just that he doesn't want to. Basically, he wouldn't trade this life for anything else. His spacefaring-one-way-mission-make-first-contact-with-aliens times are long gone.

    Unfortunately, Rocky barrels into the dome sounding the most excited he's ever been and Dr. Grace has known his best friend long enough to have a hunch on what he's so excited about.

    "Smart science Eridians receive radio signal from space! Amaze Amaze Amaze!" Thank goodness he was wrong. It could just be another pulsar or something, hopefully.

    "What did it say?"

    "10 11 101 111 1011 ... 10 11 101 111 1011 ... 10 11 101 111 1011!"

    …Shiiitakke Mushrooms.

    Summary

    Three years after the probes carrying Taumoeba and Dr. Ryland Grace's final message arrive on Earth, humanity launches an interstellar spaceship with a brand new mission. Thirty-six crew members (including two graduates of a certain San Franciscan junior high school) travel to the star 40-Eridani to make friendly contact with the Eridians and bring them the alien life form from Tau Ceti-E that can save their star if Dr. Grace's sacrifice failed.

    Grace, now fifty-seven years old, is just trying to balance his life as a teacher while no longer being the only human on the planet anymore. It's a big adjustment, but Rocky and the Terra's Grace crew are going to make sure he's well taken care of.

    Summary

    “Is it okay if I touch you?” the man breathes.

    Simon doesn't know why he asks. No, it's not okay. None of this is okay.

    “Please,” he continues when Simon doesn't respond. “I-I need permission.”

    Simon closes his eyes. It's his own type of silent defiance. If this man isn't just fucking with him – if he does, for some strange reason, feel bad or guilty about capturing him, then good. Let him drown in it.

    Simon is captured by a compulsive liar who, bafflingly, gives him food, smiles at him, and pretends the Quiet Rapture never happened.

    Grace saves the life of a violent human who seems to be under the terrifying delusion that every star and planet has disappeared without a trace.
