    Summary

    Eridians. I come in peace from Planet Earth, the homeworld of Doctor Ryland Grace. We wish to learn more about your people. Can you hear me?

    She scanned every dial, output, and monitor for any sign of anything at all.

    Nada. Again.

    She sighed heavily. Maybe they were all dead down there. She’d hoped not.

    “I, uh, hey, earthling. Fellow earthling. This is Doctor Ryland Grace. We hear– uh, we copy. Um. Sup?”

    Sup?! SUP?! Years without any human contact, and this guy’s first message is sup? The dead speak, and they are not fucking serious whatsoever.

    ---

    After the success of the Hail Mary mission, Earth sends a foul-mouthed astro-anthropologist to study Erid. She discovers a very-much-still-alive Ryland Grace. Slow burn mutual pining ensues. Will eventually be explicit, but... did I mention the slow burn?

    Summary

    I wasn't supposed to be here.

    At first, I convince myself it's just a bizarre coincidence. Ryland Grace exists. He's real. He's just a teacher... just a man I was never supposed to meet, and definitely never supposed to fall for.

    Then the world starts to change.

    The impossible becomes impossible to ignore, and I realise this isn't just his world.

    It's his story.

    And I know exactly how it ends.

    I know what he's going to be asked to do. I know what it will cost him. I know that one day he'll have to choose between the man he is and the man the world needs him to be.

    I can't tell him any of it.

    So instead, I stay.

    I stand beside him as everything slowly falls apart, offering reassurances I can't explain and hoping that somehow, somehow, knowing him might change what's coming.

    Because I know.

    I just know.

    Summary

    You wake up aboard the Hail Mary with one major problem: you’re not alone, and you’re with Ryland Grace. Years of academic rivalry and mutual irritation suddenly turn into forced proximity in deep space, where there’s nowhere to escape each other, or the tension that builds every time you guys are in the same room.

    Ryland doesn’t remember everything about the mission, but he remembers enough to be infuriatingly observant, and you quickly realize that surviving the trip to Tau Ceti might be easier than surviving him. Or will it?

    Summary

    Excerpt: He turns the shower off and gets out, opens the door and she’s standing there, towel in hand with a cop in uniform behind her. Pope takes the towel, looks at the cop and says; “do you mind, man? My dick is out.”

    I haven’t been this unhinged about an actor since I was sixteen and I’m now too old to care about whether or not self-insert/Mary sue is cringe, so have this: the most self-indulgent fic I’ve ever written. This started as a collection of (mostly porn) scenes between Pope/OFC in my head and I've now been forced to write actual chapters to make them work.

    Summary

    An American funeral director crosses the road while thinking about coffee in 2016 and finds herself in London in the wrong century, with a messenger bag and absolutely no time to panic because panic has never solved anything.
    Her grandfather always warned her about crossroads. She thought he was being metaphorical. Turns out he wasn't.
    She has no plan, no papers, and no plausible explanation for anything she knows. What she does have is a mortician's calm that translates surprisingly well into wartime, a brain that won't stop cataloguing, and the unparalleled stubbornness of a woman who intends to survive whatever life throws at her.
    Probably.
    Warnings: Canon-typical violence & themes. Very slow burn. The author is not sorry.
