    Summary

    “Let me ensure I understand correctly,” Yao counted slowly on his fingers.

    “Your oldest brother is an alcoholic private detective.”

    “Yeah.”

    “Your second brother killed your abusive father.”

    Grace nodded sleepily. “Self-defense mostly but yeah.”

    “Your third brother is in a committed relationship with a sex doll.”

    “Bianca is very nice

    Yao continued as though he had not heard that.

    “And your twin brother throws himself off buildings

    Grace thought about it. A very long exhausted pause. “…Yeah that about sums it up.”

    Silence again.

    Stratt looked at Yao.

    Yao looked at Stratt.

    The realization passed silently between them with horrifying clarity.

    So Grace—

    This exhausted, socially awkward, disaster of a scientist currently clinging to Eva Stratt like a drowning kitten—

    Was the normal one.

    God help them all.

    Stratt stared down at him for another second before one particular detail from earlier finally circled back around.

    “You slept with Tom Ryder.”

    Grace nodded against her shoulder.

    “Mmhm.”

    “The internationally famous actor.”

    “Yep.”

    “How?”

    Summary

    The engineer takes my hand. His skin runs hot. Very hot. He doesn't let go at what I would gauge as a socially-acceptable handshake time interval. Are we just holding hands in the middle of the lab-workshop space? Guess we are.

    "I'm Rocky," he finally introduces himself. He has a hint of an accent, something lilting, melodic. I can't really place it.

    "Rocky," I repeat, slowly. "Like the movies?"

    "No," Rocky deadpans, giving me a look like I'm stupid. "Like the rocks."

    Summary

    title shortened from: 'Sharks just want to play, experienced sailors fear the jellyfish'

    In the canon universe we know, Eva Stratt and Ryland Grace would never be able to have more than what they did: a fleeting friendship, brushing the surface of what they *could* be but never dipping deeper. Stratt had a job to do. Grace had a world to save.

    Here, however, meeting years earlier and in a universe where the sun will never dim, things go a little differently.

    OR

    aroace strattland working themselves out in the world, figuring out how to settle into the secret third thing that makes their lives so much better. Domestic fluff, years worth of waiting, two souls that just connect, even if they could never explain quite how, A shark and a jellyfish, bobbing their way through the ocean.

    Summary

    "The manuscript edit of the first Linguist sent to Erid from Earth. Alongside narrative re-imagination of content of "Findings", the relatively unseen interview notes direct from Rocky the Eridian."

    Note to Editor: This summary is awful and reads like teen-lit. I would prefer something a little more professional.

    Consider: 'Eridian and human relationships are markedly different. The relationship developed between Dr. Ryland Grace and Rocky and later Dr. Grace, Rocky, and Adrian differs greatly from human connotations of 'friendship.' This essay intends to explore these the relationship between Dr. Grace as a way of understanding Eridian relationships and seeks to find comparable human relationships."

    Note to Author: Far too academic, the reader wants to get to know you better. Try adding more evocative language.

    Note to Editor: No.
