    Summary

    It had been a long and difficult 27 years since the Hail Mary had launched. Not as terrible as it could have been, but not easy. Humanity had survived and adapted, as it always did. There had been terrible wars. There had been incredible acts of kindness. There had been massive scientific breakthroughs. And now, there were two distant blips of Petrova-light, picked up by the Deep Space Network, hurtling home. Two probes, braking hard as they hurtled toward Earth holding the secrets to its salvation. They were late, or at least, not very early, but they were here.

    Grace may have made his peace with dying to save Rocky, but Rocky insists they return to Earth.

    Summary

    Nick Wolfwood is the new director of Conrad-Chapel Funeral Home in May City, located across the street from Saverem Greenhouse & Landscaping. Over time, the owner, Vash, gets to know Nick and introduces him to the rest of the neighborhood, including local busybodies and married feminist bookshop owners Meryl and Milly. Vash and Nick are inexorably drawn to each other until they have to start admitting their feelings.

    But Vash's brother, co-owner of the garden center, hasn't left his past as far behind as the twins had hoped when they started their lives over in May.

    Summary

    Wolfwood shrugged into his suit jacket, and palmed his lighter and cigarettes off the nightstand. "Every place in the world where somebody's outlawed the fun stuff, somebody else will be selling it in a back alley. I'm gonna go outside and have a smoke, and I will bet you a blowjob that I'll be back in twenty minutes loaded for bear."

    "I'll take that bet." Vash said as Wolfwood closed the door behind him, before adding to himself and the empty room, "...but only because I was planning to do it anyway."

    Summary

    "Shut. the Goddamn. Door." Vash's voice was a broken rasp, like the chamber of a revolver in need of grease. He was half-concealed in the shadowy corner between the dresser and the window, and his eyes were unusually bright, feral, flashing like an animal's in headlights.

    Wolfwood was taken a bit aback by the snarl on Vash's face, but he was taken several yards further by the realization that Vash had torn off most of his clothes the minute he got in his room. And then Wolfwood was yanked so far aback that he went clear though the door, out of the building, and around the planet to come right back to where he started: with a half-naked Vash the Stampede leaning against the dresser, breathing hard, with an egg in his hand. It took Wolfwood a very understandable second to find words.

    "Did. Did you just--"

    "Either stay and help," Vash gasped, "or leave, and lemme get on with it."
