    Summary

    It's been years since Doctor Ryland Grace saved Erid and Earth. He is content with his life, happy just to teach the next generation of Eridians and have the occasional game night with Rocky and Adrian in his dome. For the most part, nothing changes.

    And that's the problem. Shouldn't Grace, y'know...age? When Rocky indicates that he should be sixty human years old by now, Grace can't reconcile the young face in the mirror with the time that his friend has religiously kept.

    Things get more complicated when another undoubtedly human ship shows up at the edge of the 40 Eridani system. Suddenly Grace is playing ambassador between the two species, and tensions are rising between them. Will this be a successful second contact, or is the peaceful life Grace just wants to live too much to ask for?

    Summary

    I'm alone, looking out of a few xenonite tiles that had chanced to be clear, and I notice something… off. I can see fewer stars than I usually can from this high up. There was a constellation I had traced out some days ago that reminded me of my home Solar System, from the size and brightness of the "sun" star to the dim little dwarf that I thought looked like Pluto. Now, the stars up to Jupiter were no longer visible. Another crackle strikes the air.

    "Mɛn?"

    I startle so hard that I almost fall over. On the far side of the room sit several command and communication control panels, the same ones Rocky had contacted to inform the Eridians of our arrival so many years ago. The noise that just came through was distinctly not Eridian. I creep closer. It sounds…

    Human?

    I really wanted to explore what happened on Earth both during and after Project Hail Mary, especially regarding the ramifications of a cooling sun, resource loss, and the wars that almost certainly broke out as a result. What better way to do that than to throw some traumatized kids at our beloved Space Man?

    Summary

    When Ryland Grace wakes up, all knows is the weight of the world has been put on his shoulders. He isn't an astronaut. He isn't the best of the best like Yao and Ilyukhina are. He doesn't even know why he volunteered. But his crewmates never needed another astronaut. They need him. And they aren't alone.

    ---
    AU in which Yao and Ilyukhina survive the coma because I love them and I need Grace to have human contact. AKA Rocky returns home with three weird aliens.

    Summary

    Sansa Stark dies with blue eyes open and a dagger in her hand, defending the last of her blood. She expects darkness, or nothing at all.
    Instead she wakes to starlight, soft voices, and a land where gods walk the shorelines as easily as nobles once walked the Red Keep.
    A new body, a new name, a new father made of fire and brilliance and a family warm enough to thaw a northern winter.

    But peace is never as gentle as it first appears. Even in Valinor, shadows coil beneath marble floors, prophecies whisper through immortal halls, and pride can birth storms older than the world.
    Sansa chooses, quietly, fiercely, to do what she has always done: protect the people who are hers.

    If fate has written doom for the House of Fire, then very well, she will learn the script, take up the pen, and change the song.

    Summary

    This is the Blessed Realm at the end of the Years of the Trees; The Noldor stand divided between the two eldest sons of King Finwe in a schism stretching back to the founding of Tirion. The Teleri have constructed their greatest vessels, and have begun to consider turning their attentions back to starlit Endore, while the Vanyar hold firm to the Valar. All the while Manwe, King of Arda, knows that his brother Melkor's sentence in the Halls of Mandos is nigh at an end, and looks to the Allfather for a sign.

    And across uncounted time and space, a grad student trying to squeeze a nice time out of a research trip to Cape Verde finds herself tossed right into the thick of it all. Illuvatar works in mysterious ways.
