    Summary

    "You sighed again," Carl remarked. "That's the fourth time in as many minutes."

    Ryland pressed the heel of his hand to his eye. "My ex is attending the conference."

    The room went silent, but not in awkwardness. It was intrigue.

    Carl sat up, his eyes sparking to life. "Dr. Grace gets around, eh?"

    Ryland gave him a look that he hoped amounted to, blow up into a million fiery pieces.

    Summary

    Popular tales in Eridian folklore include a long, lanky creature that cracks the carapaces of those who enter the ocean.
    So when Erid’s saviour returns in a small, foreign spaceship, missing 23 crewmates, and presenting a creature with an uncanny resemblance to their cautionary tales, Erid is, understandably, horrified.

    Yet at some point, somehow, the creature had found its way into the hearts of Eridians, and the grotesque alien from the unknown of space became a beloved teacher of their most vulnerable.

    Or: Erid learns to love Grace.

    Summary

    The world is ending; Grace loves his students too much to save them, Stratt loves Grace too much to save him, and Rocky loves Grace just enough to shift the universe to the left for him.

    Summary

    Doctor Ryland Grace has always been a teacher.
    Across ships– both sea and space fairing, late night cramming sessions beneath the unsteady lights of the college library; beyond the Earth itself. Grace has found himself awaiting curious eyes with the sort of natural nervous confidence documented only amongst educators and crash test dummies.

    So when we ask: “Why is a school teacher in space?” The answer is obvious, so he could carve a classroom out of the stars.

    Summary

    Time is a fickle thing.

    One day you are young, playing in the rain with a smile etched onto your face. The next day you are old, graduating college and stressing about bills and student loans.

    Then in the next, you are young again, too young and too scared as you are told that you are going to be sent on a suicide mission to save your planet- and in the next heartbeat you are old again, walking with a cane and greying around the edges.

    In the blink of an eye you realize that you only thought you were old back when you were young because you were naive, you thought you knew all the world had to offer. But now you know the truth, because now you are actually old and you know you could never even begin to imagine to know all twists and turns of the universe.

    Then, inexplicably, you are so so so very young again.

    And isn't that a shock for Ryland Grace to wake up to.
