    Summary

    To say that Ryland Grace and Simon of Eden get off on the wrong foot would be the understatement of the century.

    Being rescued didn’t miraculously solve all of Simon’s problems. He has a lot to adjust to. Being a fresh amputee, the stars not being dead, aliens being real, living on an alien planet, having a human neighbor who doesn't want to kill him, trusting in this so-called “reality” that’s too good to be true… yeah, no, making friends isn’t a priority. Exiting survival mode is easier said than done. He barely even knows who he is when he’s not fighting tooth and nail.

    Grace is doing his best not to get attached to the handsome stranger he helped save. Simon may choose to leave Erid once he’s healed. He’s not so desperate for human company that he’d pursue someone who attacked him in their first-ever interaction. He has a good life here on Erid; he totally doesn’t dream of holding another human being’s hand, or being looked at fondly by someone with eyes, or seeing another person’s smile. He has Rocky and Adrian, who are more than enough family for him.

    But who does Simon have, if not Grace?

    Summary

    “He had a sharp nose and head with full, healthy hair, and was dressed in a white button-up shirt that looked crisp and too tight on his body, with slacks hanging low on narrow hips. There was stubble along his jaw and exhaustion beneath his eyes despite the well-kept mustache and soft blue tint of his irises, but somehow neither of those things took away from him. If anything, they added something unfairly charming. He smelled faintly of cheap cologne and cigarette smoke, and something sweeter underneath that reminded Healy vaguely of oranges.

    Healy frowned when he noticed that the man’s blond hair was exactly the same shade of June’s usual beehive hairdo.”

    Or

    Four times Jackson Healy thought about kissing Holland March, and one time Holland March kissed him. (Plus one bonus chapter at the end)

    Summary

    For a moment he just studies the motorcycle. It's an ancient machine, a relic from the time before spinners, a time when the air was fresh and clean and clear; the fact that it ran at all is a minor miracle. Like him, it probably should have been retired long ago.

    What does a replicant exist for, if it no longer has a purpose?

    Summary

    Scruffy beard, glasses, hair in disarray. He's in a simple button-down and jeans, no place to hide any meaningful weapons, and faces away from Driver—exposes his vulnerable side, forgoes line of sight—to crouch in front of two boys who have been so silent he only now notices.

    “C'mere,” the man mutters. He hoists one of them up and into his arms. The boy rests his cheek on the man's shoulder with a quiet sniffle, eyes squeezed shut. His small hands wrap around the man's nape in a death grip. He has a SpongeBob-patterned bandaid on his nose bridge.

    The other boy grips onto the man's shirt hem with just as much vigor, though his eyes are wide open. He looks up at Driver with pointed eyes, clear and devastatingly full of suspicion.

    They look at each other for half a moment of contemplative quiet.

    Then, softly, “What floor?” Driver asks.

    The elevator door closes.

    or

    Driver moves to the new apartment. Instead of Irene, his neighbor is kind teacher Ryland Grace with two twin younger brothers he's taking care of.

    Summary

    Two survivors wake up aboard Hail Mary with no memory of how they got there: Dr Ryland Grace, and an engineer called Simon Fleischer. As they navigate their unique situation and the discoveries awaiting them at Tau Ceti, they uncover truths about themselves that would have, perhaps, been better left forgotten.

    Summary

    Every screen in the room blazed with the same breaking news feed. An alien voice had just asked for him by name on live television.

    “Mr. Grace?” little Jamal whispered from the front row, eyes huge behind his glasses. “Is that really you they’re talking about? Like, you you?”

    Ryland’s mouth opened, but nothing came out. His heart slammed against his ribs like it wanted to escape and hide under the desk with the class hamster. He was just Mr. Grace. The guy who drew cartoon planets on the board, who stayed late helping kids glue together messy dioramas of the solar system, who once spent an entire lunch period comforting a sobbing girl because her goldfish had “gone to the great fishbowl in the sky.” He graded spelling tests on vocabulary words like photosynthesis and asteroid. Aliens did not know his name. Aliens did not ask for science teachers.

    The marker slipped from his fingers and clattered to the floor.

    Summary

    I lived with this hunger long before the Hail Mary. This is nothing new. I’m fine.

    Right up until Rocky asks another question.

    “When last time you touch other human person skin, question?”

    Oh. Oh no. “When I… a few days after I first woke up here.”

    Rocky starts to relax for a split second, but then tightens when something occurs to him.

    “Grace crewmates dead when you wake up. You said this, statement. You not even know your own name, remember nothing, see dead bodies, confirm?”

    I nod, because if I open my mouth I will gag.

    “When last time Grace touch ALIVE human person, question.”

    I swallow thickly. I don’t answer aloud because I know Rocky can hear the hitch in my breath. My stomach churns with fresh bile. He senses my vital signs tick over into stress patterns and goes very, very still again.

    “Grace. When last time, question.”

    I clench my jaw so hard my temples ache, and beg him with my eyes to just stop.

    “Grace. Please say not when… when Evil Stratt humans put you to sleep.”

    I can taste grass.

    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

    Mark Watney has survived 118 sols on Mars, and he wouldn’t exactly say it’s been a cakewalk, but he only has about three more years of listening to disco to go (ugh) before Ares IV picks him up and take him home. But when something crashes on the Martian surface only a few kilometers from the Hab, NASA wants him to leave the safety of his little home on the Martian prairie to go investigate…what could possibly go wrong?

    Ryland Grace has survived a long time in space and almost a decade on Erid, but the anxiety of not knowing if the beetles made it to Earth finally drives him to try the dangerous journey back home, and Rocky and Adrian come with him. Everything was actually going pretty good…until a horrible accident leaves them hurtling through space (and time) with no choice but to crash land on the wrong planet.

    How is Watney going to deal with the unexpected company (and their weird secretiveness over why they were in space)? Is Grace going to be able to adjust to being around another human being again? And how are Rocky and Adrian going to handle the uncertainty of a reception to an Earth that’s never heard of aliens before?

    More importantly…how the fuck is NASA going to get them all home alive?

    “I made you ‘Love for All Seasons’ stew,” Xie Lian says.
