    Summary

    Ryland Grace saved Earth. He saved Erid. He was supposed to die a hero somewhere between the stars.

    Instead, he kept living.

    As the years pass on Erid, Ryland finds himself caught in a strange kind of grace period: a life he was never meant to have, in a body and mind slowly losing the battle against time. Far from Earth, alongside Rocky, Adrian and the world that became his second home, Grace has to answer a question no mission training could prepare him for:

    What happens after the hero survives?

     

    or Grace learning to be an Eridian

    ☀︎ ⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯ ◎

    For once, Rocky didn’t comment on my leaking face. Didn’t call me gross or make fun of me otherwise. So I did it for him.
    “Yeah,” I sniffed, half-laughing through it. “Humans leak, ew.”
    Because, well—
    This might be the last time I ever cried.
    “No, Grace leak as much as want. Is okay!” Rocky rushed in immediately, all urgency and overlapping chords.
    “Well, you weren’t going to, so someone else had to do it.”
    He paused. “No understand. Is joke, question?”
    “Yeah,” I said, sniffling a little. “It’s a joke.”
    “Still no understand humor.”

    Summary

    “Your life is very short, Saviour-Grace. The Elders have thrummed extensively about your future on Erid, and we offer you our most sacred of ceremonies.” He gestures to the xenonite-encased stones arrayed in front of him. “Are you aware of our creation myths?”

    OR

    In which Grace participates in a sacred Eridian ceremony that he's sure has no chance of actually working. It would be rude to refuse, after all. There's no way that it'll actually do anything to him...

    Summary

    Grace has to handle First Contact with an alien planet with what meager Eridian his one set of vocal chords can make.
    This Is Fine. This is totally, completely, utterly fine.

    (Grace sounds like a pebble. This, alongside Eridian's extended lifespans, kicks off a chain of misunderstandings that Grace would find utterly mortifying if he knew what the heck was going on.)
