    Summary

    Dr. Grace took one look at her, at the research dissertation that she had printed out several days earlier and marked front to back with questions, heard all of two of the minutes of the pitch she had on the sun eating alien-microbes, and all but abandoned his bag and notebooks in favor of climbing out of one of the many windows that his packed full of trinkets and diagrams his classroom had. The window made an awful clattering sound as it slammed closed once he’d fallen out of it and Eva had stood there, watching the bright yellow coat bob as Dr. Grace kept fleeing at a slightly above a brisk pace.

    or: ryland grace and that damned coat he won't let go of (ft. eva stratt's pov)

    Summary

    Falena’s tail was lashing, lashing, lashing. “You can’t keep taking out what you have against me on Cheka. The boy adores you, Leona, no matter what you’ve done to try to drive him away. And he’s going to need you, if anything ever happens to me. The Savanna needs stability right now, and it needs us all to work together for that.”

    So he wasn’t going to say it.

    Leona eyed Falena without turning his head, feeling his fingers dig into the gaps between the stones of the windowsill. Spat, “When were you gonna tell me you arranged a marriage?”

    Summary

    So. I’ve changed a few things for this to make sense.
    1. The people on Earth didn’t disappear, they mostly fought each other after the sun began to dim noticeably
    2. The stars didn’t disappear, but instead, they were eaten quickly by mutated astrophage
    3. Simon went into space almost directly after Grace but before people started fighting, instead of growing up in space (I wanted to avoid uncomfortable age gaps)
    Okay, now that that’s settled:
    Grace was happy on Erid, but he was also bored, and he couldn’t help but wonder how other planets were surviving, so he and a few Eridians went out to see how other planets were fairing with astrophage, only to discover that it was now mainly targeting moons, and also forming communities around itself. Communities that made liquids that looked scarily like blood.

    Summary

    ”Get to work Dr. Grace. The world is counting on you.”

    Stratt turned around and with a wave of her hand another man had walked over, “You’ll be remaining here with Dr. Grace. I trust you can keep him out of trouble.”

    “Shouldn’t be a problem.” The other man’s voice was smooth, and if Grace was hearing correctly it almost sounded like there was an undercurrent of mirth.

    That’s when it clicked, was Stratt siccing a babysitter on him? “Hold on! What trouble are you thinking I'm going to get into?” Should he be offended? He was a grown man, he’d worked in countless labs before and sure he’d had some questionable outcomes but they’d just let him be the first scientist to study an alien life form! They should have more trust in him than this!

    ”Everyone in the world wants to get their hands on astrophage. Simon is here to protect you from them.” Stratt explained, turning again to give Grace an exasperated expression. “I should hope you don’t need constant supervision from yourself Dr. Grace.”

    (Im not good at summaries, bodyguard!Simon and scientist!Grace, hope you enjoy!)
