    Summary

    Ryland Grace and Rocky bring the Hail Mary out of retirement when it becomes clear that their universe is not the only one being affected by astrophage.

    This is complicated by the fact that some of the universes are domains of death, suffering, and anarchy, while others rely mainly on the power of friendship and song. Between their conflicting tones of satire, gothic literature, cosmic horror, and kid-friendly humor, they may never unravel which of them was actually supposed to save the multiverse in the first place.

    Summary

    Ryland doesn't know where he is, what he's doing, or why he's doing it. All he knows is that he's in a universe with no stars and that an organization called the COI found the Hail Mary spinning out into deep space. He knows that Rocky may be injured somewhere, and he knows that the man that currently lays in a hospital bed in front of him should be dead as dirt but has miraculously survived.

    He knows he has been given an ultimatum. Find out what brought Simon back to life or never see Rocky again.

    The task proves more complicated than he thought.

    Summary

    Between Grace's scant first aid and the nanny bot they managed to get the man mostly stable, tucked into Grace's bed and completely dead to the world for the past few days.

    It's the same man currently trying to kill him.
     

    or, the Eridians find a man covered in blood and Grace hasn't been able to care for something in far too long.

    Summary

    “Well?” He presses, picking absently at the grass staining his knees green. “What’s the verdict?”

    The man eyes him for a beat too long before scoffing quietly. “I think you’re the result of radiation poisoning.”

    Grace snorts. “Harsh. And here I was starting to think we were bonding.”

    OR : Ryland Grace hardly dreams anymore, but when he does, he finds himself sharing them with a bloodied man just beyond his universe.
