    Summary

    Carl had never really believed in ghosts. Until he saw one with his very own eyes.

    He sucked in a breath as he approached Grace’s headstone, seeing someone who could only be described as the ghost of Dr. Grace sitting in front of it with his head in his hands. Whispering something under his breath.

    Against his better judgment, he called out. “Grace?”

    Or-

    Carl goes to visit the grave of an old friend. The last thing he expects to see is Grace's ghost sitting in front of his own grave.

    Summary

    She opened her mouth to protest, but Colt cut her off. “The guy you fell in love with died in a horrific accident. I’m what’s left,” he scoffed, pointing at the door. “If you don’t like it, you can leave. There’s the door.”

    "I know that’s not true because he’s standing right in front of me-” she gestured towards him- “and I wish he’d let me help him instead of trying to force me away. And I don’t know why he’s being so stubborn about it.”

    Colt leaned back, his hair falling over his eyes. He’d been letting it grow out since the accident, refusing Jody’s offers to help him cut it. She couldn’t tell if he liked it like that or if it was just another symbol of him trying to separate himself from who he was before the fall. Define his life into two distinct parts, a before and after.

    Jody had a sinking feeling that the “after” wasn’t meant to include her.

     

    Or-

     

    After a three year "fling" Jody is left to spiral. A few bad decisions, less than stellar dates, and pilates classes, she's found herself fulfilling a childhood dream: directing a Hollywood blockbuster that doubles as a billion-dollar middle finger to her ex-boyfriend: MetalStorm

    Ryland Grace didn't ask for the wings, and he does NOT want to fly, thank you very much. He'd prefer to just forget he has them at all.

    Summary

    People don't usually grow wings. Some people don't even believe that it ever actually happened. Until the end of the world comes skating along a line of Infra-Red light, and now there are two people with wings at the same time and unable to be dismissed as legend or allegory.

    Eva Stratt believes that hope is the thing with feathers. Ryland Grace would very much prefer not to have them at all.

    Summary

    Of the two astronauts and one middle-school teacher sent to Tau-Ceti, none survived the coma.

    By all mean, when the Hail Mary begin its deceleration it should be empty of life. Yet one Ryland Grace wakes up— unaware he already belongs to the other side. With nothing better to do, he reports his observations into a journal.

    These are the logs from a haunted ship.

    Summary

    The airlock hissed as it opened, and Ryland could hear the pounding of his heart echoing through the helmet of the suit as he stared out at the expanse of swirling green that was the planet below him. He hesitated, his basic survival instincts screaming at him to get back inside, back to safety, to be selfish. He can’t do this.

    But there’s Yao’s voice in his head. Find someone to be brave for.

    He had someone. He was twelve light-years away. And he was going to die if Ryland couldn’t bring back the predator. An instinctive panic that his body was all too familiar with took hold at the thought. He wasn’t going to let his twin brother die, no matter how stubborn Colt would be about it.

    Or-

    Ryland and Rocky are going in to retrieve the predator collector from Adrian, but when everything goes wrong, he falls back on his desire to save the person he cares most about, but he might be too late. Roughly four years (for him, at least) too late.

    Summary

    Colt thought he was stopping by to annoy his twin brother at work.

    He did not expect to discover that Ryland Grace is actually a really good teacher. He definitely did not expect to become part of an seventh-grade physics lesson about momentum, impact, and why bodies need more time to survive a fall.

    Summary

    When porcupinesarentreal said, "In a universe where Grace goes back to earth, he would absolutely kill it on Sesame Street."

    or

    Back on Earth, Ryland Grace discovers that surviving the impossible does not automatically tell you what to do with the life you got back.

    Then Sesame Street invites him on to explain buoyancy to Elmo, Big Bird, and Cookie Monster.

    What starts as a simple science segment turns into something gentler and stranger: a lesson about floating, about being held up, and about the quiet ways a person can begin to find their place again.

    Summary

    When porcupinesarentreal said, "In a universe where Grace goes back to earth, he would absolutely kill it on Sesame Street,” but sage-rats commented: „Get this man a guest spot on Bill Nye the Science Guy.”

    or

    Back on Earth, Ryland Grace is invited onto Bill Nye the Science Guy to help explain air pressure, vacuum, and why the atmosphere matters.

    It should be easy. It’s just science. Just a studio. Just a room full of kids, cameras, demo props, and one relentlessly enthusiastic host in a bow tie.

    But between vacuum chambers, imploding cans, and one disarmingly simple audience question, Ryland finds himself talking about more than physics. About pressure. About fear. About what Earth gives you every second without asking for thanks.

    Summary

    What the title says. About 11 years ago (from my perspective; relativity is weird) I was launched into space onboard the Hail Mary to figure out a solution to the Astrophage problem. Now I live on an alien planet I call Erid, in the 40-Eridani system. Yes, I’m actually Ryland Grace. Ask me anything.

    Also, can someone please tell me if Eva Stratt is alive? And ideally send me a video of you punching her in the face? Guess that’s a long shot, but it can’t hurt to ask.

    ---

    Grace and Rocky figure out how to connect to Earth's internet from Erid. They may not have thought this through.

    Summary

    Best read in order <3

    Slice-of-life classroom days with Ryland Grace.
    A rotating cast of kids (Emma, Mia, Malik, Luis, Leila) + one meteorite labeled UNKNOWN as the moral center. Science shenanigans, found family vibes.

     

    ( I probably should add a “don’t try this at home” tagline for all the science )
