    Summary

    Afterwards Rocky reassured me that it is pretty common for pebbles to earn their first nicks and cracks at that age. Their outer shell isn’t fully developed yet and not quite as hard as that of an adult. He proudly showed me various indents and hairline fractures on his own body, telling me about how he got them in his youth during adventures with his friends or just messing around.

    It’s a sign of growth, he told me. A sign of getting older and maturing.

    Not a big deal. Happens all the time.

    I believe him. Tori was in good spirits afterwards. Their crying was more because of the shock and the scare, not any actual pain. We finished the rest of the day without any further incidents and then I wished them all a happy holiday and returned to my home and got into bed.

    Where I stayed for the next eighteen hours.

    *************
    There is an accident in the classroom. Everyone tells Grace that it's not a big deal.
    But then why can't he stop thinking about it?

    Summary

    Summary

    Percy Jackson was done being a pawn for the Gods, punished for simply existing, even after everything he'd done to protect Olympus. With the help of a sympathetic God, Percy Jackson sheds his old life for a new one. It was hard, adjusting to a mortal life and going back to mortal schools, but he pushed on. He struggled, he persevered, and his life took a turn he hadn't expected but, honestly, wasn't going to complain about (too much) after his temper cost him. He'd adapt, and he'd do the best he could.

    Ryland Grace just wanted a normal life, even if it was hard fitting in. His Demigod life was behind him, but always hanging above his head. It was hard to relate to others or make friends, but who needed friends when he had his kids? Being a school teacher was, honestly, the most rewarding thing. Even if they liked pushing his buttons at times. Grace would do anything to be the teacher for them that he never had, someone who'd fight for them, believe in them, and help them be their best selves.

    So, when he wakes up in space, with no memory of how he got there, Ryland Grace thinks it's to save his kids. Percy Jackson thinks the Gods decided to punish him again. Both agree that letting Earth die isn't an option.

    Summary

    After the Taumoeba leak, after I decided to die after all and turned my ship around to save Rocky, after Rocky's frantic calculations about food supplies, Taumoeba multiplication rates, and human caloric intake needs, after we realized that with some rationing and luck I would make it, but that we were headed toward the unknown territory of trying to rapid-prototype me a life support system and synthetic food supply on an inhospitable planet: after all of that, after everything, I shouldn't have been surprised that it only took a few months on board the Hail Mary for things to get weird.

    Edit: I made some minor continuity and grammar edits on 6/20, this is the final version!

    Summary

    Grace has to handle First Contact with an alien planet with what meager Eridian his one set of vocal chords can make.
    This Is Fine. This is totally, completely, utterly fine.

    (Grace sounds like a pebble. This, alongside Eridian's extended lifespans, kicks off a chain of misunderstandings that Grace would find utterly mortifying if he knew what the heck was going on.)

    Summary

    Grace lives a long and happy life on Erid with his cluster-members Rocky and Adrian, until he passes at the age of 95. He wakes up to find himself back in his San Francisco apartment and has to face navigating the most difficult part of his life in a language he hasn't spoken in 60 years.

    OR; After finding himself in the past, Ryland Grace has to try his best to keep his head down and figure out what he wants to do with his second try at solving the Astrophage problem and returning to his family. He struggles with language barriers, culture shock, and worst of all: he never really recovered all of his memories from his first time on earth.

    Summary

    Rocky lived his happily ever after with Grace and Adrian. Until he died. And then woke up a week before the Blip A was meant to launch. He makes a few last minute changes.

    Eva Stratt is not having a good day. It was hard enough dealing with the aliens trying to eat her sun. Now she has to deal with the other aliens that know much more about her and Earth than she's comfortable with. And they also claim to have the answer to the Astrophage problem, provided she's willing to hand Ryland Grace to them.

    Grace wishes he could stop getting 'promoted' with no option to say no. At least his new job has better hours, if you could ignore the whole being stuck in space on an alien vessel thing.

    Summary

    “They kept asking questions that had nothing to do with Quinn’s performance.” I roll my eyes and notice that I’m getting worked up again. Trying to get the midnight blue Eridian back on track had been a nightmare and I’d almost lost my composure a couple of times. “Just what I like to do and what I’ve seen of Erid so far and if they can give me a tour once my suit is finished. And they insisted I tell them what my favorite type of mineral is. I mean, why would they want to know that? What does that have to do with how their kid is doing in class?”

    Midway through my rant Rocky has stopped carding his claw through my hair. He is silent for a few seconds and I’m just about to ask him if he’s alright when his whole body starts to tremble. It alarms me enough that I wiggle my arms underneath me and lift my upper body off the couch. 

    “Rock?”

    But then the trembling morphs into full on shaking and then laughter so loud and shrill that I have to cover my ears.

    **********

    Erid's first ever parent teacher night does not quite go according to plan.

    Rocky always thought that being able to detect light is a convenient ability to have - especially with this whole astrophage mess. But having to rely heavily on light must be a very inefficient choice for evolution to make.

    Summary

    “You can make this easier for all of us, Dr. Grace,” Stratt said, her face brutally impartial as she stared at me. I was tense, keyed up and ready to flee.

    I should’ve figured it would end up this way, with me running from a bunch of guards.

    -

    Or; Grace is a bit more selfish. This has consequences.

    Summary

    The engineer takes my hand. His skin runs hot. Very hot. He doesn't let go at what I would gauge as a socially-acceptable handshake time interval. Are we just holding hands in the middle of the lab-workshop space? Guess we are.

    "I'm Rocky," he finally introduces himself. He has a hint of an accent, something lilting, melodic. I can't really place it.

    "Rocky," I repeat, slowly. "Like the movies?"

    "No," Rocky deadpans, giving me a look like I'm stupid. "Like the rocks."
