    Summary

    “Are we friends?” Grace asks. The question doesn’t feel quite right. “Or, I guess… were we friends?”

    Yáo hums, thinking. “Yes,” he says, after a moment’s contemplation, “I would like to believe that we were - are - friends.”

    Grace turns his head, then, and Yáo knows exactly where he’s looking. “Are you two friends?”

    “Yes,” Yáo’s voice is lower this time, tinged with an emotion Grace can’t place. “We are good friends.”

    (Or;

    Grace and Yáo both wake up prematurely. Grace grapples with trying to remember his purpose. Yáo grapples with the absence of Ilyukhina.)

    Summary

    He catches a glimpse of himself in the small mirror across the room.

    It’s as if he’s been frozen in time. Nothing about him has changed since he last touched the surface of his home planet.

    But of course, that’s not true. Everything has changed.

    He doesn’t understand. He doesn’t know what this means. He’s a man of science. There are rules, immutable laws of the universe, no matter where in the universe one is. Entropy, decay, deterioration. Everything in the universe experiences it.

    Everything except him, it seems.

     

    Or: While on Erid, Ryland Grace makes a startling realization: he seems to have stopped aging.

    Summary

    She knew that after the Mary had taken off, she would be everyone’s favorite whipping boy. She has told Ryland so. She wouldn’t be useful anymore, and they would need someone to blame for all the damage she’d caused, and therefore she would be paraded around the world for endless trials and eventually rot in prison in whatever country decided to take her on.

    She had not expected it to come so fast.

    --

    or, Eva Stratt is whisked around the world for trial after trial, the situation deteriorates far faster than anyone had predicted, and she keeps asking herself why. Until one day the Hail Mary contacts the ISS requesting to dock and asking for a ride back to Earth.

    Summary

    When porcupinesarentreal said, "In a universe where Grace goes back to earth, he would absolutely kill it on Sesame Street."

    or

    Back on Earth, Ryland Grace discovers that surviving the impossible does not automatically tell you what to do with the life you got back.

    Then Sesame Street invites him on to explain buoyancy to Elmo, Big Bird, and Cookie Monster.

    What starts as a simple science segment turns into something gentler and stranger: a lesson about floating, about being held up, and about the quiet ways a person can begin to find their place again.
