    Summary

    It is 2052 and 2032, and a room full of people returns to its prior orientation. Regardless of spacetime impossibilities, the Hail Mary has to launch in three days, and it's time to tell Ryland Grace to die.
    It's a shame, then, that he's absent.

    Summary

    The lives of the crew of the Long Shot are statistically ridiculous. They've travelled over sixteen light-years to answer a three-decade-old distress call from a dying planet. They expected to find any number of things upon arrival at 40 Eridani, but being greeted by a human voice certainly wasn't on the list.

    Dr Ryland Grace says they're welcome. He says the problem has already been solved, and everything's fine, and so, in fact, is Earth. But all they know about Ryland Grace is that he left on a suicide mission ten years before they launched. They're not so sure they should be taking a dead man at face value.

    OR: The Eridians have learned to safely host a human, despite every barrier of language and instinct. Now they just need to do it with seven more. At least, this time, they have Grace's help, right?

    (This fic is part of a series but will stand alone.)

    Summary

    It probably says a lot about the state of absolute lunacy that is his life that when Grace unexpectedly jolts awake back on Earth thirty years in his past, his feelings on the matter can be summarised as

    Huh. Well I guess this might as well happen too?
