    Summary

    Ryland Grace, AP Biology teacher and Academic Decathlon supervisor of Midtown High, is hit with the news that he would have to fill in as student chaperone on a field trip to his alma mater, UC Berkeley.

    Halfway across the world, Colt Gentry Seavers calls his twin brother to tell him he was coming home.

    At the Compound, Tony Stark is put on (unnecessary) probation and now has a very familiar, very brooding shadow on his heels.

    And in the middle of it all, Peter Parker, is weirdly insistent on being on the field trip to UC Berkeley, and also weirdly against Grace being a student chaperone for it. Whatever that meant.

    ---
    Or: Grace is trying not to have an aneurysm as he has to deal with his weirdly-jittery student, two brothers who fake-died on him and never explained why, and a certain genius billionaire who decides that this was the perfect time to re-enter his life.

    Summary

    When Ryland Grace agrees to visit his twin brother Colt Seavers on set, he expects the usual.

    What he does not expect is Tom Ryder.

    Tom is loud, charming, confident, and exactly the kind of Hollywood dude-bro that Colt thinks Ryland should probably avoid. But Tom’s attention keeps drifting back to Ryland, and Ryland finds himself drawn into the strange, messy world of movie sets as Jody's new movie aligns with most of Ryland’s passions.

    Colt may not like Tom Ryder.

    Ryland is not sure he agrees.

    Tom Ryder can hardly hold back his fat man crush and Ryland is figuring out how to have a celebrity crush.
    Also Colt is mean and hateful

    Summary

    Frustrated, Grace turned his head away from his brother. Some argument died on his tongue as, out of the corner of his eye, something came into view and he had what was either a brilliant or terrible idea. "Okay. I'll show you."

    Before Colt could ask what Ryland meant or stop him, he had stormed off. In the direction of Tom Ryder.

    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

    “How did I even get back last night?” asked Ryland. He rubbed his eyes, trying to make his pounding headache relent. It didn’t work.
    “Dude, I have no idea. By the time I came home, you were naked, in bed, babbling about some guy and trees.”
    “...What?”

    A drunken escapade at a frat party Ryland should have never gone to alone comes back to haunt him, many years later. Colt is never going to let him live it down.
