Legend and Wind find themselves split apart from the group while tensions are running high between them. Throwing a life or death scenario into the mix doesn't help them all that much.

Summary
There was something Grian was trying to ignore. It was painfully simple–just a letter that sat in the drawer at his bedside. Its envelope was bright red and within it was a single piece of paper. It wasn’t sealed properly because it didn’t need to be–the ink was something that only Grian and a few others could ever read. Had it come from anyone else, that would have been concerning, but as it was, Taurtis was one of the only people in the Universe who Grian was willing to extend the benefit of the doubt to when it came to the past that they shared.
*****
In which Taurtis sends a letter and Grian deals with the fallout for better or worse. Spoiler alert, it's mostly better.

Summary
"'But not scared?' Death asked, an edge to the question. There wasn’t a right answer but there was definitely a wrong one.
She paused for a moment before answering. 'Not exactly? It was going to happen eventually.'"
AKA while Death is collecting souls, he runs into one that isn't as scared as she ought to be. This raises questions and the answers only raise more of them.

Summary
It was hard to forget that month spent in a cement cell.
Hell, there was something about calling the block of time they were there for as simply 'a month' that made it seem so much shorter than it had felt. Scott would always remember it as an eternity, and he would bet good money that Pearl and Jimmy remembered it as two.
In which Scott, Pearl, and Jimmy survived a special type of hell and Scott is the one who lingers.
AKA: I write fanfic within a fanfic universe once again.

Summary
My pride stings a little at being so underestimated by a species that couldn’t even outrun a particularly determined turtle if their life depended on it. Look, I’m no Sha’Carri Richardson, but I’m pretty proud of my seven-minute mile. I worked hard for it. I haven’t been able to handle myself like this since I was... well, since I left Earth.
“Y’know what? Let’s settle this once and for all. I could use an endurance test anyway. Good for my cardio.”
Dr. Bones perks up. “You’ll do a demonstration?”
“Absolutely. Give me two rest days and a warmup, then I’ll show you what the average human athlete can do.”
-----
AKA, Grace doesn't consider himself much of an athlete, but he's no slouch either. And he's got the physical prowess of his whole species to represent!
The xenobiology team, on the other hand, is horrified to learn what a 'persistence hunter' is.

Summary
“They gave us like, four different apartment complexes to choose from.” Claire stabs her fork into her lasagna again, scoops up another bite, but waits to put it in her mouth. “I don't think you picked the place one of your brothers lives in on accident.”
Courtland blinks once, the only tell that he's been caught off guard.
--
Or, Courtland's introduction back into his younger brothers' lives is...not the smoothest of rides.

Summary
"I'll keep you updated. In the meantime, go back to sleep. When you need to worry, I'll tell you."
"Heh." Ryland ran his hand down his face. "It's terrible you know that it actually makes me feel better. What would I do without you?"
"Explode at a colleague at a conference and get expelled from academia and become a middle school teacher." Eva said, promptly.
"Wow, you've thought about that way too hard." Ryland laughed. "Middle schoolers might not vape in class, though. Maybe I should switch."
"Let's not joke."

Summary
The Eridian thrills a high sound that doesn’t get picked up by the translator which means that it has no clear meaning. Like when a human gasps or sucks in a deep breath. It actually sounds a little like that. When they notice that I’m staring straight at them they scramble back into their hiding spot and hold very still.
A child, I realize with a start.
That’s a child!
“Hey,” I call and the kid squeaks again. I was about to get to my feet but abort the movement and crawl closer on my hands and knees until I'm inches away from the xenonite wall. I wait and it takes me much too long to realize that they don’t have to peek around the corner to see if I’m still there.
“Hey there,” I try again, my voice low and calm. It’s my teacher voice, the one I use for shy and scared students.
Used.
The fact that I haven’t had to use it for years and it still comes to me automatically almost knocks the air out of my lungs but this is not about me, it’s about making sure the little pebble doesn’t die of fright from the scary alien. “Hi, I’m Grace. It’s alright, you don’t have to be scared.”
