    Summary

    Trauma can give people PTSD, flashbacks, and nightmares, can make them depressed and suicidal. But sometimes, trauma doesn't look so sympathetic. Sometimes trauma looks like anger, screaming insults at the ones you love and sometimes wishing you'd never been rescued in the first place.

    Watney is rescued, but he isn't the charismatic and friendly man he used to be.

    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.

    Summary

    "You’re overwhelmed,” Stratt said. There wasn’t any heat, any emotion behind the words. She was staring at him, hands clasped in front of her. She looked intense, as always, except she also looked soft. Her gaze was almost gentle, except it still had that underlying need for efficiency, that dry necessity everything Stratt did was tainted by.

    Grace stared at her, gripping his shoulders with his hands so hard his nails were painfully digging into flesh.

    “What do you want to do about it?” he bit out, more defensively than he’d intended. She’d use that against him. She was good at that.
    Stratt shrugged. She had that same expression on her face she always had, something oddly sad and solemn for a resting face.

    “I have tea and hot chocolate. I hear Americans like hot chocolate,” she said. She held his gaze for a moment more. She looked away slowly, eyes tracing the shape of the laboratory windows. “If you come with me, you can have some.”

    ____

    Grace is overstimulated, and Stratt only wants to make up for the fact that she made her scientist inefficient in the first place.

    Summary

    Doctor Ryland Grace has always been a teacher.
    Across ships– both sea and space fairing, late night cramming sessions beneath the unsteady lights of the college library; beyond the Earth itself. Grace has found himself awaiting curious eyes with the sort of natural nervous confidence documented only amongst educators and crash test dummies.

    So when we ask: “Why is a school teacher in space?” The answer is obvious, so he could carve a classroom out of the stars.

    Summary

    Olesya grinned happily, her fingers still around Robert’s wrist. “We have new big brother!”

    “Hello?” Robert finally spoke, he was oddly enough only mildly confused and more surprised.

    Bob gets adopted and now he’s Grace and Ilyukhina’s older brother, they talk feelings and Grace and Stratt nearly get killed
