    Summary

    Disaster strikes the Hail Mary on its way back to Earth. The taumoeba escape their breeding tanks, and make it to the fuel lines. Stranded in space just outside the Tau Ceti system, Dr Ryland Grace can't do anything. He can't go save Rocky, he can't go save Earth. Exhausted, out of options, and distraught, he fills the ship with nitrogen, and takes his final breath.
    Next thing he knows, his eyes flutter open in his San Francisco apartment. It's a year before ArcLight touches down on Earth, but he remembers the Petrova Task Force.
    He's not the only one.

    OR: Time-Travel Fix-It AU but it's not just Grace who came back in time.

    Summary

    "Rocky did not understand human names and titles when we met. Eridian names longer, give information on Eridian's home, associations, skills." For the first time in ages, he positioned two of his arms together, forming the design that Grace thought of like a family crest, a single design bisected.

    "You should teach me to read those before we get to Erid, so I can be polite." As Grace considered the linework, already picking up on some vague ideas from the shapes in Rocky's carapace, something else occurred to him. "So… I picked 'Rocky' because your outer shell looks like stone."

    "And for inspirational story of athlete who defeats human system of poverty to become great champion. Eye of the tiger."

    "Retroactively, yeah." Grace bent at the hips, getting to Rocky's 'eye' level. "So what'd you name me?"

    Summary

    “Grace like wings, question?”
    “Yeah.” I extend the uninjured one, admiring the plumage. The movement still aches — my entire body does — but my wing unfurls with a rustle of soft, sleek feathers. Each feather is a gradient, starting blond near the base and fading into white along its length. “Wings are very good. When I woke up and saw them the first time I was a bit confused, but then very happy. It’s a sign that I’m here for the right reasons, even if space is scary.”
    “Humans are strange,” he says. “Grow extra limbs because sacrifice. No make sense.”
    “Yeah, I know. Now watch with me again to make sure I do this right.”
    “I watch,” he agrees, and we settle down together as I press play again.

    OR

    In which Grace wakes up with wings, which are a sign of great sacrifice and heroism. However, his slowly-returning memories begin to indicate otherwise...
