    Summary

    "Are you another teacher here?"

    "Uh, yeah! I teach science for 6th and 8th grade. What about you?"

    "Amaze, amaze. I teach in technology wing. Robotics."

    "You new?"

    "Yes. Just traveled here few days ago. Applied for job. Got job."

    "Cool."

    A strange new teacher is hired at Grover Cleveland Middle, and so far, Mr. Grace has heard more gossip than he's heard during his entire 7 years of teaching. He's friendly, but awkward and offputting to the point where people are starting to think he's not human.

    An alternate universe where most of the cast are members of the school staff, and Rocky is the weird new teacher who most definitely isn't pretending to be a human to hide from the government officials at NASA trying to study him.

    Summary

    "Why? What about you and the other version of me? I guess you guys are close buddies too, huh?" I smiled over the rim of my mug.

    Ryland smiled. Or at least, I think he tried to. The expression twitched halfway through and he made a wincing face that disappeared as fast as he made it.

    "We are," he said after a pause. "Close friends."

    His eye twitched.

    Uh oh.

    watdatmean?

    If I still had access to Twitter, I'd be posting a tweet right now that just said: #watdatmean with no absolute context or whatever.

    Because Ryland suddenly sounded emotionally constipated, like he was hiding a massive and pointy shit inside his ass and desperately hoping nobody would notice. Which immediately made me notice.

    Summary

    Seeing it in person makes my throat tighten.

    I’m glad I’m alone. I can’t control the slight tremble in my hand and I’m not sure if it’s fear or grief, but there's something bubbling under my chest.

    Grace died over a decade ago. I killed him. I know that.

    I’ve had 26 years to sit alone in a cell with that. That and every other outcome.

    But for some reason instead of touching the beetle I’m frozen wondering if perhaps Grace had touched it too.

    --

    TLDR: Stratt goes through the logs from the beetles and has to save the world. A bit of a shock to her.

    Summary

    The radiation should've killed Jack.
    But it didn't.
    He dives into the blood ocean to find the black box.
    Instead, he finds a convict.
    Or something that pretends to be him.
    But he himself is no longer who he was.
    Maybe together, they can cope with their fate.

    Summary

    Blackmail. Illegal porn. Undercover at a gay bar. The Nice Guys sure are at it again.

     

    “Porn? I can throw a rock in this neighborhood and I’m gonna break the window of a porn store.”

    March gestured anxiously, waiting for the other shoe to drop.

    Healy paused. “Ohhhhh. The nasty stuff. Whips and handcuffs. Girls and animals.”

    “Close,” March said, grimacing. He really, really didn’t want to have to explain this. “Think more like…. Disco.”

    “Disco?” Healy raised an eyebrow. “What, like the queer music? You think the back room of that store is full of porn for… For disco fans.” He nodded thoughtfully a couple of times. “And you’re an expert about this?”

    For a second the whole world went white around the edges and March thought he might pass out. He was too sober for this conversation. What exactly had Healy noticed that morning, how obvious exactly had his full-body reaction to Healy’s hand on his neck been? “I was a happily married man!” March said, and as soon as it came out of his mouth he knew it was wrong. Too fast, too high-pitched, too loud.

    Incriminating.
