    Summary

    Grace squeezes out a wet chuckle, thick with emotion, before suddenly falling silent. Its mouth does that strange up-down up-down movement, like it’s trying to figure out if it’s perplexed or amused. “Wait a minute—“ The human flops on its side to face them.

    “Rock, that almost sounds like I’m your kids’ \.\\.”

    “New word.”

    “Uh… companion animal.”

    —————

    Or

    Grace and Rocky talk about evolution, family dynamics, and dogs.

    Summary

    “Do you think,” Grace says after a moment, suddenly quiet. “Do you think there’s other universes where we’re friends? Or did we just get really lucky in this one?”

    That’s barely even a question. Rocky’s sure of it. In every universe where they meet, he’s certain they’ll become friends. He can’t imagine it otherwise.

    or: a chat on a beach.

    Summary

    The waves washed over his shoes, soaking them through and leaving his feet uncomfortably damp.

    … Wait. What?

    Ryland looked up, confused, only to see someone else on the beach walking towards him. Someone who looked an awful lot like him.

    Okay. So he was hallucinating.

    Summary

    The day Ryland Grace proves the Carl Hypothesis and discovers how to breed Astrophage, a probe is spotted in the outer regions of the solar system. When it's recovered, the words TO SOLVE ASTROPHAGE PROBLEM are found written on the outside, and below that is written in slightly smaller text, Deliver to Ryland Grace.

    Grace, unfortunately, has no idea what's going on.

    Summary

    "What that, question?" Rocky asks instead of answering the question. He's got his light gun thingy pointed at the screens.
    "Hm? You know what the stars are, buddy." Grace doesn't think much of it, but Rocky goes quiet.
    "Have not seen like this before."
