    Summary

    “They don’t talk about what Percy did in the War.
    He was a Ministry employee. He stayed during the Death-Eater reign. He came back for the final battle. He saved Fred from a falling wall. But that’s it.
    He was a traitor to his family, a coward who did nothing during the war but redeemed himself at the end.”
    But maybe he did more. Much more.
    Percy was a Ministry worker during the War but maybe he was more.
    Much more

    Summary

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

    Or at least he should have, if not for a certain Eridian who has taken a great offense to the short, finite nature of human life. Instead of cherishing the limited time left, Erid reworked the foundation of what was considered scientifically possible—they found a way to turn their resident alien into an Eridian.

    But operating a whole new body-plan is not as easy as it may seem.

     

    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

    Dennis Whitaker is tired.

    He's also mysteriously sizing up in scrubs, wearing long sleeves in June, wincing when he thinks no one is looking, and sporting bruises that make Michael Robby’s years in trauma medicine scream that something is very, very wrong.

    Dennis insists he’s fine. Which, unfortunately, is exactly what people say when they aren’t.

    As Robby quietly spirals through every worst-case scenario imaginable, Trinity Santos is busy roasting everyone in sight, Abbott wonders if emotional stupidity qualifies for hazard pay, and Dennis just really wishes people would stop asking questions.

    After all, he’s fine.

    Really.

    (He just happens to spend his weekends getting checked into walls for fun.)

    Or: Michael Robby sees bruises and immediately makes it everyone’s problem. Dennis Whitaker discovers that hiding hockey injuries from an attending with twenty-five years of trauma experience is harder than surviving beer league playoffs.

    Happy reading!

    Summary

    At our next Maximizing Rocky Happiness meeting, I pitch my idea to Adrian over a walk down the beach.

    They don’t say anything for several seconds after I finish my explanation. Maybe it was a bad idea to share. Finally, Adrian asks, their tone dry, “You want to put Eridian eggs inside squishy human body, question?

    Summary

    Ryland Grace dies at age 46, just three days before Hail Mary was expected to arrive at Erid.

    Three years later, a strange Eridian stumbles through the crowd with one mission in mind: Find Rocky.

    OR: Grace dies from complications due to prolonged malnutrition before he and Rocky could make it to Erid. Several years after being given a human burial on the very planet he helped save, Grace claws himself out of his own grave – far less human than he should have been.
