    Summary

    It’s him.

    Not him, as in Grace, but him as in the maybe-twin in the photo.

    He has this sad, stricken face on him, and is standing stock still several feet away.

    “Hey there,” Grace attempts.

    “Ry?”

    Or, Colt and Grace are estranged twins who begin to have very strange shared dreams.

    Summary

    It's been a year since Rocky and Dr. Grace saved their worlds from freezing over. Dr. Ryland Grace's new life in a little enclosure at Erid is all he could wish for on an another planet, he gets to finally quit eating Taumoeba for a change; he even gets to teach Eridian middle-schoolers too! Though it's probably worth considering these "children" are his age. He could go home anytime really, Eridian scientists have been ready for a long while, it's just that he doesn't want to. Basically, he wouldn't trade this life for anything else. His spacefaring-one-way-mission-make-first-contact-with-aliens times are long gone.

    Unfortunately, Rocky barrels into the dome sounding the most excited he's ever been and Dr. Grace has known his best friend long enough to have a hunch on what he's so excited about.

    "Smart science Eridians receive radio signal from space! Amaze Amaze Amaze!" Thank goodness he was wrong. It could just be another pulsar or something, hopefully.

    "What did it say?"

    "10 11 101 111 1011 ... 10 11 101 111 1011 ... 10 11 101 111 1011!"

    …Shiiitakke Mushrooms.

    Summary

    Grace spent the rest of his life on Erid surrounded by the family he never expected to find.

    After his death, Rocky thinks the cemetery has become unbearably empty.

    Until a tiny note was heard from behind the tombstone.

    Summary

    "Speaking from a selfish perspective, I hope you stay. But, we also have another offer."

    Ryland looks down at his best friend, eyebrow raised. Curiosity pushes the burgeoning tightness enough for him to ignore. "Yeah? What's that, Rock?"

    "We can build onto the Hail Mary— a spaceship large enough to carry you, me, and other scientists. We go to Earth with you," Rocky trills. Ryland can't believe his ears. Rocky's carapace tilts in the way that means he's smiling. "We live on Earth, learn from the humans, and return in our own time."
    ✩✩✩✩
    Or, Rocky offers to travel back to Earth with Grace. Featuring best mate Adrian
