    Summary

    “Would it help––should I bring my dinner in too?” Grace jokes, smiling in preparation for the absolute symphony of disgusted whistles he knows Rocky will produce at the thought of them doing something as depraved as sharing a meal. “I’ve been saving this week’s half packet of ramen for just such an occasion––”

    [YES YES YES!] Rocky’s translator app suddenly blares from the laptop on the floor between them. [YES, ACCEPT ACCEPT ACCEPT! GRACE RAMEN ♪♫♪♫ WITH ROCKY, AFFIRMATIVE! GRACE ROCKY EAT ♪♫♪♫ MEAL TOGETHER AFFIRMATIVE YES YES AFFIRMATIVE NOW.]

    -----------------------------------------------------------

    or, a fic to answer the questions: What if you fell in love for the first time in your 40s, and it just so happened to be with your alien best bud who has five legs, no face, and is already married? And then what if somehow you accidentally proposed to said alien best bud without knowing, because while you may be Earth's best and brightest, you also notoriously suck at close interpersonal relationships (and also you have permanent memory damage)? What then?

    Summary

    They're insistent that I will live to make it to Erid, to live with them and their people for the rest of my natural life. I trust them, and I truly believe that their magnificent, brilliant species will be capable of saving me. I believe Rocky could probably even find a way on their own, without any outside help, the little genius.

    Still.

    I can't help but sit, watching their tiny claws working deftly with their tiny engineering tools, listening to their quiet clicking noises, and know in my heart that I could die today and it would all be worth it. That I would die a happy, fulfilled woman, having loved and been loved by someone as special as Rocky. To finally feel as if I've found a home. Gosh, I'm lucky.

    "Heart rate increase detected. Doctor Grace, please confirm status."

    "Thanks, Mary, I'm fine," I groan.

    Summary

    you're a seasoned hitman tasked with the job of killing off the two private detectives sticking their noses in other people's business.
    the only problems with that are your ever-growing doubt in who you're working for, and the very blue eyes combined with the charming, slightly dopey, grin of one of your targets; plus, he might also be unkillable?
    the jury was still out on that one.

    Summary

    Every screen in the room blazed with the same breaking news feed. An alien voice had just asked for him by name on live television.

    “Mr. Grace?” little Jamal whispered from the front row, eyes huge behind his glasses. “Is that really you they’re talking about? Like, you you?”

    Ryland’s mouth opened, but nothing came out. His heart slammed against his ribs like it wanted to escape and hide under the desk with the class hamster. He was just Mr. Grace. The guy who drew cartoon planets on the board, who stayed late helping kids glue together messy dioramas of the solar system, who once spent an entire lunch period comforting a sobbing girl because her goldfish had “gone to the great fishbowl in the sky.” He graded spelling tests on vocabulary words like photosynthesis and asteroid. Aliens did not know his name. Aliens did not ask for science teachers.

    The marker slipped from his fingers and clattered to the floor.
