Summary
You had been working retail jobs longer than some of your peers had been alive, and you had seen it all. At one point or another, you had come face to face with the worst customer service interactions imaginable—from Karens with years-old expired coupons, to teens who paid in pennies, to armed robbery, to Black Friday sale stampedes—and you had made the conscious decision to come out the other side with your customer service smile only slightly strained.
By comparison, working at Fazbear's was a breeze. $30 an hour PLUS insurance PLUS long and short term benefits? If you hadn't read the terms and conditions carefully, you'd think you might have signed your soul away when you started working there; it seemed almost too good to be true.
In a way, you guessed it was. Apparently, there was a history surrounding the company that had made other prospective employees… hesitant to apply. Still, you had done worse jobs for less, so the fact that your animatronic co-workers were a bit "quirky" was honestly a bonus. -

Summary
You had some errands to run in town, and since you were the only one who could leave the property, the rest of the household bombarded you with requests. Groceries for Sunspot, reading material for Fool and Misuta... You know, the usual. Expected. You're fond of them, and they of you, so it was no skin off your back to run an errand for them.
Sol, however, had made no secret of the fact that he was not fond of you, so his unexpected request to pick up a secretive package at an unfamiliar store did not fill you with confidence.
You did it though. After all, who are you to refuse a request from your "friend".

Summary
Mindy Park is rapidly realising that the first intelligent extraterrestrial to make contact with the human race thinks they’re fucking stupid. She’s pretty sure that Dr Grace isn’t accurately translating half the things Rocky is saying, but most of what he is telling her is that Rocky has a better way of doing what NASA wants them to do, and honestly, it seems like Rocky is mostly right. She probably doesn’t want to know what the other half of what Grace’s new alien friend is saying, if the things that are making it through what she’s calling the “middle school teacher filter” are “why would you do something the dumb way when you could do it the right way”.
or,
Mindy has a headache, Grace has trauma, Mark is confused and Rocky is wondering how humans made it in to space when they're all so, so dumb.

Summary
“What are you talking about?” Grace's fingers played quick chords as he spoke. He didn’t even look as he did it, but it did not make them any less purposeful.
“Discussing possible reasons why Tau Ceti is not infected while other stars are,” Eva replied deftly. “I would invite you to join, but we were just finishing—”
“Oh, that’s easy.” His hand twisted a knob, and the notes came out sharper. “It is infected—Petrova Line and everything.”
In Grace's opinion, dreaming about time traveling is no excuse for getting out of practice with his Eridian. To the rest of the Petrova Taskforce, it seems a bit odd that their resident Astrophage expert has suddenly taken to carrying a keyboard around and playing it whenever he speaks. Eva Stratt resolves to figure out what is going on.

Summary
Metamorphose: to change, to be transformed
Denali left Valenwood years ago to travel Tamriel and learn its geology, and her next stop is Solstheim, a dreadful mass of land that she hopes to delve into. But the island is violent and dangerous, and she's not a skilled adventurer. Enter Teldryn Sero, who will do basically anything for money, including escorting a stubborn Bosmer across the island so she can look at rocks.
As they grow closer and travel further to Skyrim, each of the two must face their destinies, past and present, so that they might eventually find peace. They must learn and adapt, grow and trust, and hope above all else that the other will not fail. Destiny really is a bitch.

Summary
Grace is unprepared for the level of love that all of Erid seemed to have for him. It was vaguely terrifying, but also.... nice? To be cared for. To be wanted.
It gets worse when they find out the circumstances of him ending up on the Hail Mary.
When his declining health necessitates a trip back to Earth, he is faced with a planet that loves him so fiercely and wonderfully that it finally starts to break through his crippling lack of self worth and bloom into something incredible.
And Earth? Earth has to deal with an Erid that is polite, protective, and most of all, pissed.
