    Summary

    What the title says. About 11 years ago (from my perspective; relativity is weird) I was launched into space onboard the Hail Mary to figure out a solution to the Astrophage problem. Now I live on an alien planet I call Erid, in the 40-Eridani system. Yes, I’m actually Ryland Grace. Ask me anything.

    Also, can someone please tell me if Eva Stratt is alive? And ideally send me a video of you punching her in the face? Guess that’s a long shot, but it can’t hurt to ask.

    ---

    Grace and Rocky figure out how to connect to Earth's internet from Erid. They may not have thought this through.

    Summary

    You are profoundly alone. You have been for a while. Suddenly, you aren't anymore, and you are struggling to be normal about it. Pooling strengths and weaknesses with the strange creature on its explosive-atmosphere ship might just be the only way to save both of your stars, but it might also lead to more than just strictly scientific discoveries, and neither of you are sure how to feel about that.

    Summary

    Aziraphale doesn’t know why they keep returning to St. James's Park, other than that it is a well-trodden location for them both. And, he thinks sometimes, a welcome bridge between the past and the present.

    The park is a place where friends meet. Where colleagues meet. Where spies meet. Where lovers meet. Whatever the current official status of their relationship, the park is a place they can come, a place they can know, a place they can be. Perhaps that is the reason they keep coming back. It’s comforting, that constancy.

    Or at least, it would be comforting, if they could stop being on edge long enough to properly absorb it.

    It’s funny, how the same place can hold both comfort and fear.

    OR (as summarized by a wonderful beta reader): Feels, love, care, healing, slow growth, occasional setbacks, constant understanding and reassurance and determination.
