Summary
The next picture in the stack was clearly taken immediately after the previous photograph; Colt and Ryland are still pressed to each other’s sides, only now, Holly’s smushed in beside them, the camera extended in one of her arms as she takes a closer-up picture of all three of them grinning away. “Shit. This one’s cute.”
Holland starts laughing again, but he doesn’t have the time to actively tease him before he’s tilting his head up and seeing the photograph for himself. Instead of getting smart with Jackson, he just rolls up a little closer for a better vantage point on the picture. His whole face crinkles up with a smile when he finally sees.
It’s slightly out of focus, a bit blurry, but Jackson thinks it’s his favorite photo yet.
or: jackson and holland wind down together after ryland and colt's ninth birthday party.

Summary
None of this could have happened if he stayed on Earth. He wouldn’t have them— he wouldn’t have any of this.
Grace gets more comfortable in his rocking chair, watching his family. From the pile of them, Rocky rumbles a little, tilting in Grace’s direction.
“Your heart is going faster,” Rocky comments sleepily, voice all low tones.
“I’m just happy,” Grace tells him. “Everything turned out okay.”
or: a point of view for each pebble on a random day in their lives, plus one day with the whole family all together.

Summary
Dennis is immediately distracted from his task choosing from the vending machine. Tilting his head down, he bounces her slightly on his hip, swaying from one side to the other. His mouth is moving, though Robby can’t hear what he’s saying from here. His cheeks are a little flushed, too.
“Do I need to remind you two that you’re professionals?” Dana comments from behind them. Robby mildly snaps out of it— well, enough to turn and see Jack beside him doing just as he’s doing: staring openly at Dennis with the tiny child. “He’s just holding a baby. And besides, you shouldn’t be ogling one of your students.”
“He’s not a student anymore,” Robby corrects her at the same time Jack protests, “We’re dating him.”
“You shouldn’t be ogling anyone, I don’t care what your excuses are.”
or: Jack and Robby witness Dennis caring for a clingy child and start thinking thoughts.

Summary
“It’ll all take some getting used to, probably, I think,” Colt comments, glancing towards Rocky. He can tell by the way he tilts that Rocky’s looking back at him. This is actually getting normal, God help him. “We can practice more at home.”
“Home,” Ryland echoes, taking his hand off the chair’s controls. “Geez. Home has— You know, home’s been Rocky and the Hail Mary for years now. It’s weird to be on— you know. Dry land.”
“The lonely sailor, lost at sea,” Colt sighs with a slight smile, teasingly dramatic.
“Grace not lonely, Grace not lost!” Rocky protests. “Grace have Rocky, statement! Rocky watch Grace sleep, protect Grace, bring Grace home to Earth.”
“You sure did, buddy, and I can’t thank you enough for it,” Colt replies.
or: Ryland is finally well enough to leave the facility and go home— or, for now, to move himself and Rocky into Colt's home.

Summary
“Will you tell me what happened?” Colt asks quietly, studying Ryland’s sleeping face. He wishes he would wake up and just look at him, but— but, until then, he’ll settle for talking to his— to Rocky.
“Grace come back for Rocky after return plan for Earth,” Rocky says. His translated voice feels like it’s coming from right beside him. “Grace not let Rocky die. Grace give life for Rocky life. Grace…” He makes a soft, sad chime of a sound. “Grace save Rocky. Grace save Erid, Grace brave, brave, brave, statement. Rocky love Grace. Rocky save Grace.”
“You did that?” Colt asks him, glancing sideways at Rocky. “You gave up everything, you— you gave up going home just to bring him back here?”
“Grace do same for Rocky.”
or: Colt's twin brother was taken from him and shot off into space without a chance to say goodbye. Over the years, piece by piece, he gets Ryland back.

Summary
Eva feels like the breath is knocked out of her lungs when the man walks in.
Dirty blond hair. Blue eyes. Sort of like… if Ryland Grace was hit by a car several times. It was undeniably him.
“So you’re Eva Stratt,” The man says gruffly, slamming both hands on her desk. He looked exactly like Ryland, it was terrifying. It felt like watching a ghost haunt her in real life.
“You’re the crazy woman that sent my baby brother up into space. Let’s talk, yeah?”
or
Colt Seavers finds out his twin brother was sent on a suicide mission. He does not take it well.

Summary
Trent Crimm might only recently be an independent journalist, but he's had no one to rely on but himself for far, far longer. And most days, it feels like he's barely keeping it together. So it only seems fitting that the conclusion to the worst period of his life is for the whole thing to go up in literal flames.
Luckily for Trent, help comes from a (not so) unexpected source.

Summary
“Sorry, what exactly is it you’re doing with Trent?”
“We are having ourselves a party.” Ted holds onto his backpack straps and hopes that answer is good enough, which of course it’s not. Rebecca’s office is where gossip goes to die, resuscitate, and die again.
“Of course, but when two unmarried men, one of them openly gay, decide to throw a party together for no reason, it does lead people to wonder if there’s an announcement around the corner.”
--
A lonely, lovesick Ted decides to throw a party.
