    Summary

    "Rocky did not understand human names and titles when we met. Eridian names longer, give information on Eridian's home, associations, skills." For the first time in ages, he positioned two of his arms together, forming the design that Grace thought of like a family crest, a single design bisected.

    "You should teach me to read those before we get to Erid, so I can be polite." As Grace considered the linework, already picking up on some vague ideas from the shapes in Rocky's carapace, something else occurred to him. "So… I picked 'Rocky' because your outer shell looks like stone."

    "And for inspirational story of athlete who defeats human system of poverty to become great champion. Eye of the tiger."

    "Retroactively, yeah." Grace bent at the hips, getting to Rocky's 'eye' level. "So what'd you name me?"

    Summary

    If Valarr was the firstborn, the bursting pride of Baelor Targaryen, and Matarys, the lastborn, his fragile little hope, Aenar Targaryen was his secondborn child - his simple joy - torn away too soon.

    His murder - for Baelor could hardly call it anything else despite the desperate hopes and fervent prayers of his lady wife to recover a boy, not a body - had broken the tentative peace that had been reached between King Daeron the Good and his many bastard brothers, and had earned Baelor his name as both Breakspear and Hammer.

    It hadn't brought his son back to him. Hadn't made his wife any happier, or his sons remember their brother as anything other than a single portrait hung dearly upon the family solar. So Baelor had hid his grief deep beneath his chest, turned his attentions to the few sons he had left, and held them tight.

    It was with that faded memory of his son, tucked so close and dear to his breast, that he saw the man - no, a boy really, despite how massive in height and stature he was - peeking from behind the door into the borrowed solar of where Lord Ashford hosted them.

    Summary

    Over the course of the past few hours, Myrcella had come to the realization of three disturbing facts. First, she had died in the Dornish desert. Second, she had somehow been flung back in time some twenty-four years. And last and most disturbing, her mind was trapped in the body of her own mother.

    Summary

    Three years after the probes carrying Taumoeba and Dr. Ryland Grace's final message arrive on Earth, humanity launches an interstellar spaceship with a brand new mission. Thirty-six crew members (including two graduates of a certain San Franciscan junior high school) travel to the star 40-Eridani to make friendly contact with the Eridians and bring them the alien life form from Tau Ceti-E that can save their star if Dr. Grace's sacrifice failed.

    Grace, now fifty-seven years old, is just trying to balance his life as a teacher while no longer being the only human on the planet anymore. It's a big adjustment, but Rocky and the Terra's Grace crew are going to make sure he's well taken care of.
