    Summary

    How old was he, even? He’d been thirty-five when he left Earth — would that make him seventy-five, or forty-six, or forty-two once he returned?

    Grace is returning to Earth, but what will that mean for him?

    Summary

    Simon finds himself alive, missing an arm, and still on the sub. But outside of his prison is music and a voice promising him safety. Despite himself, he decides to believe it.

    Or; Simon ends up on Erid, somehow only 5 inches tall.

    Summary

    To say that Ryland Grace and Simon of Eden get off on the wrong foot would be the understatement of the century.

    Being rescued didn’t miraculously solve all of Simon’s problems. He has a lot to adjust to. Being a fresh amputee, the stars not being dead, aliens being real, living on an alien planet, having a human neighbor who doesn't want to kill him, trusting in this so-called “reality” that’s too good to be true… yeah, no, making friends isn’t a priority. Exiting survival mode is easier said than done. He barely even knows who he is when he’s not fighting tooth and nail.

    Grace is doing his best not to get attached to the handsome stranger he helped save. Simon may choose to leave Erid once he’s healed. He’s not so desperate for human company that he’d pursue someone who attacked him in their first-ever interaction. He has a good life here on Erid; he totally doesn’t dream of holding another human being’s hand, or being looked at fondly by someone with eyes, or seeing another person’s smile. He has Rocky and Adrian, who are more than enough family for him.

    But who does Simon have, if not Grace?

    Summary

    They were close, so close to Erid. They had dropped off the Taumoeba at their star and were rounding the final bend when the Mary detached another blip... just a moment too late.

    And now Ryland Grace had the same goal; find Rocky, get him home.

    From wherever the fudge he was with this weird window that aliens of all shapes and sizes kept excitedly staring at him through.

    And hey, maybe he'll even make a friend along the way.

    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.

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

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