    Summary

    Ryland returning was a miracle, and he would hold onto it for dear life.

    He had been working to bring a better world to all of them, to Colt and Jody's twins, to his former students, to the children he hadn't even met. Court would make sure that it wouldn't all go to waste, that he'd get to see that world too.

    ~*~

    Grace returns to earth with the solution to the Astrophage crisis. The alien that he brought home with him however, was entirely unexpected. Especially to the US Government.

    Summary

    How old was he, even? He’d been thirty-five when he left Earth — would that make him seventy-five, or forty-six, or forty-two once he returned?

    Grace is returning to Earth, but what will that mean for him?

    Summary

    “The circle of life…" Grace mumbled, and his eyes grew wider.

     

    "Like Lion King?" Carl asked, confused with his mouth full of Skittles.

     

    "EXACTLY!" Grace shouted. "The system is out of balance! The stars are plants, and the Astrophage is a Herbivore. What we need is,- Hey, are you eating my Skittles?" Ryland paused. "How many of these did you eat? That's my personal stash; buy your own!"

     

    Carl waved him off, "Herbivore, balance something, keep going."

     

    Or

    A Coltland twin AU in which Ryland found a way to solve the Astrophage crisis before the Hail Mary is even complete. The planet is saved, but now there is a new target on Ryland's back, and what that will mean for his life and the lives of his loved ones he has yet to figure out.

    Summary

    Because billions of years of evolution and the entire collection of everything in existence has eaten itself up and churned out new-ness and same-ness every day, and it has only resulted in this existence: one forlorn, exhausted man sweating through every part of his suit in an unusually warm auditorium.

    or

    An exploration of Ryland Grace's relationship to his doctorate and the title that comes with it, through the eyes of Grace and Stratt. 5+2 style.

    There I’d been, pedaling down the last few poorly-lit streets before my complex, when something had tangled in my front wheels (odd. I swore the street had been clear) and I went flying.

    Summary

    Ryland Grace is the first human to ever live on an exoplanet, and this was not an eventuation that was planned for.

    This post-canon fic follows the teething issues of life on Erid: alien engineering and mechanics, the eventual sequelae of malnutrition, and the psychological effects of being very, very far from human touch.

    Despite all this, Dr. Grace might just be the only human alive who feels more at home in the company of aliens than he ever did on Earth.

    No-one is quite sure what to do with that.

    Summary

    Leaving Rocky was one of the most difficult decisions Ryland Grace would ever make, but now, Grace has a life ahead of him to fulfill, all because of Rocky.

    The journey home gives him a lot of time to think about his purpose. He thought he'd fulfilled it already. He found a solution to the Petrova Problem, like he was supposed to. But he also managed to, against all odds, return to a planet that already said its last goodbyes to him. Grace keeps coming back to the age-old question:

    Why?

    Eva Stratt, on the other hand, has had twenty-seven years of solitude to ponder a different, more complex question.

    Why must life continue, even when there is nothing left for you?

    To Eva, forgiveness is inconceivable. She is a murderer, a predator who took everything from its prey, and she will never forgive herself for it. She was put in prison for life. Her friends and family were stripped away from her as the world turned its back on her. She is a vague memory who will be painted as a villain in history and then inevitably forgotten.

    She would've never imagined that all of that would change after hearing that Ryland Grace miraculously returned to Earth and wants to talk to her.

    Summary

    Survival is an equation. Keeping yourself alive through the process is a mindset. Ryland Grace is a scientist, surely he can figure this out, right? It’s only 1,361 days. And… however many days it takes after that. He’ll be fine. He has to be.

    OR

    Grace knew he would starve on their way to Erid, but surviving it is a change in plans that comes at a cost. Relevant triggers in author's notes.

    "Olesya," she says. "Ilyukhina. I'm the engineer here, and he is pilot and commander." She hooks her thumb over at Yao as she says it.

    "You," she continues, gesturing forwards with both hands, "are our scientist. I hope you remember science?"

    "Um." Do I remember science? I think so.

    Summary

    For three hours, he’s at the beach, takes off his socks and hikes Ilyukhina’s dress up, and stands in the water. He left the cane on the shore; it hurts to let his frame bear the brunt of gravity unsupported. The reliable tide, just cool enough to chill him a little, laps at his shins.

    He closes his eyes and tries to forget about himself, the familiar ache in his joints and spine. Allows himself to imagine something else.

    A different truth, a hypothetical, a thought exercise.


    Rocky can't bear to lose Grace. But he can bear to watch Grace wither away from a sickness easily cured by Earth medicine even less.

    Grace has to make another choice.

    Or: After thirteen years on Erid, Grace leaves his true home for Earth. Eva Stratt lives to see him return. Earth takes note of the changes.
