    Summary

    It’s funny, because for all the time we’ve spent together and all the personal, intimate things I know about his life, his habits, and his responses to extreme stress or imminent death, I feel like I’m missing a lot of the basics about Rocky—like if those extra arms would make him crazy good at juggling. We’ve been too wrapped up in saving our respective planets for stuff like that.

    Now, though, there’s nothing but time. Years of it. Enough to make a guy lose his mind several times over if he’s not careful. If I’m interested in something, better make it last. Move over astrophage, there’s a new life-threatening game in town, and its name is boredom.

    Summary

    “Two dead humans each have bag with name. Third human bag not have you name. Where Grace bag, question?”

    A pit about ten miles deep forms in my stomach.

    The embroidery. He can sense the raised lettering, and now that he’s started learning to read English, he can tell that the only bag with Latin script is not my bag. Great. Yeah, this is exactly the conversation I didn’t want to have today. Or ever.

    Summary

    “Yeah. Nothing beats cuddles, if you ask me,” Grace said, trying to lighten the mood.

    Simon’s frown only deepened. “I wouldn’t really know.”

    Grace’s smile dropped. He fidgeted with his glasses, an idea already forming, but no. No, that’s a lot to ask. Too much. They’re barely friends. More like roommates of pure circumstance who mostly get along.

    But what if…?

    “Would you…” Grace started. Stopped. Tried again. “This is like, totally no pressure, and you can say no. But, uh, if you wanted to, we could, um—”

    “Spit it out, man,” Simon said, not unkindly, if a little annoyed.

    “Wouldyouwanttotrycuddlingwithme?”

    Simon blinked. “What?”

    Or... against all the odds, Simon finds himself in Ryland Grace's universe. This is how they find home.

    Summary

    The Eridians have finally gotten the water feature in Ryland's personal zoo enclosure just right (even if Rocky would like him to stop calling his dome that).

    Rocky refuses to believe that humans naturally float. There is no way Ryland's entire species regularly goes into deep water for fun.
