    Summary

    Ryland doesn't know where he is, what he's doing, or why he's doing it. All he knows is that he's in a universe with no stars and that an organization called the COI found the Hail Mary spinning out into deep space. He knows that Rocky may be injured somewhere, and he knows that the man that currently lays in a hospital bed in front of him should be dead as dirt but has miraculously survived.

    He knows he has been given an ultimatum. Find out what brought Simon back to life or never see Rocky again.

    The task proves more complicated than he thought.

    Summary

    "Motherfucking-" Ava bit back a yell. People were asleep by now. She didn't need to wake them. "If I look at you, will that do something? Will it? Because last time I turned to you, you went back to the corner of my eye."

    The shadow didn't respond.

    Ava is picked up by the rescue crew, alive and not eaten, when they grab the black-box. She's not alone, though.

    Summary

    The thing he doesn't want to admit to himself is this: he might have gone through with it – Eden's goals, the change of plans that led to the destruction of Filament Station, all of it – if it weren’t for the way they treated his daemon.

    Summary

    There's no love in placing a blade in a child's hand— there's so much in the way Ryland touches him that it fills an ache that he's known for as long as he can remember.

    Simon's been hungry his whole life. For food, for freedom, to live. He's been starving for this since the day he was born.

    OR: In the aftermath of their reconciliation, perched on the precipice of something new, Simon and Grace have to work out what they want, and decide a path forwards. Neither of them is under the illusion that it's going to be easy— both of them know that it will be worth it in the end.

    Summary

    “Can you talk?” Simon asks. “Or are you past that?”

    In response, Grace licks his neck. Okay then. Definitely past the point of coherent verbal communication.

    “Stop that,” Simon says mildly, shrugging his shoulder to jostle Grace, who grunts when Simon’s collarbone thuds into his nose and tightens his grip on Simon’s shirt in mute protest.

    Summary

    Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a mission he doesn't remember volunteering for. Alone on a ship scaled far too large for a borrower, he has to try to figure out why he's so far from home, and what he's supposed to do. On top of that, he needs to figure out why this mission is so prepared to have a borrower on the crew--standing at only six inches tall, it's easy to think none of this was meant for him. And yet, everywhere he looks he finds evidence that whoever built this ship built it with both humans and borrowers in mind.

    An impossible task looms over him. A scientific mystery has somehow sent him hurtling through space, impossibly far from any other human or borrower, and it's on him to surpass an extinction-level threat that doesn't care how big someone is. It will end the world all the same if he doesn't do something about it.

    But, despite what he thinks, he's not alone.

    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.

    Summary

    Eventually, Simon opens his eyes.

    He was drowning, he's pretty sure – but this isn't the first time his brain has been fucked with since he allowed himself to be welded into this death-tube. At least this time, he's not vomiting up blood on the floor of the sub.

    He's not sure where he is, though. It looks like the inside of the sub, still, but everything is tinged red and his vision's a bit wobbly, like he's peering through water. He's sprawled on the floor with his back against the camera controls, and the navigation panel is obscured by something that looks like a thicket of branches that wavers in his unsteady view.

    Also, there's a dog sitting on the floor in front of him.

    Summary

    Ryland Grace had been doing quite well, considering the circumstances, but he would really appreciate if his dreams did not start affecting his daily life. Something slithers its way into his dome and makes itself at home, and he cannot tell whether it is a friend or an enemy or if that makes a difference at all.

    Summary

    As the infection grows, tendrils reaching further across the ocean and stretching up to the surface like trees, a little branch of veins catches to the backbox that's been bobbing at the surface for three months.

    Ava and her team finally find the box, and in retrieving it, cut it free.

    Simon hangs on.


    Or; Simon is integrated into Jack as a form of payment for his sacrifice.

    Summary

    “What’s a ‘truss’?” Grace asked, blue eyes glancing up at Simon from where he studied the tiles on the mat.

    Simon arched a brow as he looked at Grace, as if the answer should be obvious.

    “A truss,” Simon said plainly.

    “Oh. Okay,” was all Grace could say in response to Simon’s tone. “No, hold on–not okay–that doesn’t answer my question?”

    ----

    Grace and Simon play a friendly game of Scrabble, Simon decides to be a menace, Grace is bad at emotions and Rocky is stirring the pot.

    Summary

    After surviving the unsurvivable, Simon is brutally executed at the hands of Consolidation of Iron, rather than granted his freedom. He awakes in a morgue—memories shattered in two—and fundamentally changed in a way nobody is prepared for. Simon must battle his deteriorating psyche, a traumatic past seeping through the cracks, and something eldritch pulling at the edges of his reality, as he re-learns a story everyone seems to know but himself.

    Summary

    “Um, hello.” Rocky lifts a hand slowly. The rock spider chitters and attempts to lift one back. But it’s tangled in wire, and the force that the alien uses to tug it free sends his body reeling backwards and thumping against the side of the tunnel. Rocky tries to keep a straight face.

    “I’ll call you Grace,” he says. “Clearly you have plenty of it.”

    ...

    Rocky wakes up in the Tau Ceti system, with his commander and science specialist dead. How's he supposed to save Earth?

    Befriend the alien scientist he runs into, of course.

    Summary

    There's 1 in 70,000 people on the planet who have the gene needed to survive the Hail Mary's expedition. In that limited pool, 1 in maybe 1000 had the necessary skills needed for the mission — more dire still, even less people were willing to volunteer for what is essentially a suicide mission.

    When an explosion killed not only their science officers but also their engineers, Eva Stratt makes the tough decision to put 2 people on the spacecraft that no one was expecting to be even be candidates.

    One is a middle-school science teacher.

    One is a convicted eco terrorist.

    Summary

    Mindy Park is rapidly realising that the first intelligent extraterrestrial to make contact with the human race thinks they’re fucking stupid. She’s pretty sure that Dr Grace isn’t accurately translating half the things Rocky is saying, but most of what he is telling her is that Rocky has a better way of doing what NASA wants them to do, and honestly, it seems like Rocky is mostly right. She probably doesn’t want to know what the other half of what Grace’s new alien friend is saying, if the things that are making it through what she’s calling the “middle school teacher filter” are “why would you do something the dumb way when you could do it the right way”.

    or,

    Mindy has a headache, Grace has trauma, Mark is confused and Rocky is wondering how humans made it in to space when they're all so, so dumb.
