    Summary

    Dr. Ryland Grace cries a lot.

    From weeping quietly to full-on snot-sobs, he falls apart at least once on most days, and Carl understands it to be a coping mechanism that just seems to work for Grace. Growing up mostly without a father meant Grace never had anyone tell him to Act Like A Man, Dammit (as if men categorically never cried, but there’s generational baggage for you), and so he’s just very much in touch with his own emotions, and crying is his main way of dealing with them.

    Carl is no longer surprised to see Grace crying in the lab; he merely tries to categorize his tears so he can jump in and help him deal with whatever he’s trying to process.

    This story is a companion piece to Four times Ryland Grace got close to someone for a short time, and one time he stayed, but it can stand on its own.

    Summary

    “What are you talking about?” Grace's fingers played quick chords as he spoke. He didn’t even look as he did it, but it did not make them any less purposeful.

    “Discussing possible reasons why Tau Ceti is not infected while other stars are,” Eva replied deftly. “I would invite you to join, but we were just finishing—”

    “Oh, that’s easy.” His hand twisted a knob, and the notes came out sharper. “It is infected—Petrova Line and everything.”

    In Grace's opinion, dreaming about time traveling is no excuse for getting out of practice with his Eridian. To the rest of the Petrova Taskforce, it seems a bit odd that their resident Astrophage expert has suddenly taken to carrying a keyboard around and playing it whenever he speaks. Eva Stratt resolves to figure out what is going on.

    Summary

    "So. I somehow got shot into space, lost my memory, everyone else died, and this is what's going to haunt me?"

    Grace gestured wildly with the sticker.

    "My AO3 stats?!"
