    Summary

    There is a tap on the table top and a quiet, “Scusatemi, signorina,” and she looks up. There is a boy there, no more than twenty, and he is undoubtedly American, though his Italian is so polished that even she would be unsure if not for his hesitant slouch— discomfort, it says I am out of place. His gaze is not demanding. It is not cold, either— but intelligent, distant. Not assessing, but calculating. As if she is made of code, and he is reading her.

    “I speak English,” she tells him, “better than Italian.”

    He slumps with something akin to relief. “Oh- that’s. That’s cool. I’m really sorry to ask-“ and he looks it, wincing and pulling his own fingers, “-but would it be okay if I sit with you? My mamma is in a formaggeria across the piazza and I desperately don’t want to stand in there and smell cheese for an hour so I was gonna grab an espresso but every other table is filled and I don’t want to impose but—?” He looks at her. He is sharp, ardent with a wisdom that puts her teeth on edge. No young man should look like that: as if he has stared straight into the barrel of a gun and laughed at the bullet, swallowed it whole.

    He looks old for his age. He just. He looks.

    Summary

    Karen loved her Peter—sweet and kind and making a mess of his suit with crumbs—so very much.

    It wasn’t like him to plead.

    How it happened, Karen didn’t understand.

    Summary

    Tony put the phone to his ear. “Hi I’d like to report a break in—“

    “I’m not— I didn’t break in!” Peter exclaimed, waving his hands around madly, “I was fighting some baddies and then got zapped by this electric guy and my bracelet thingy started glowing and then I ended up here in the 80s and it’s so weird but really not that unusual, but I promise I’m not a criminal!”

    “—and a potential child kidnapping.”

    “I’m really from the future! 2025!”

    Tony and his mess of a fairy god spider who can’t seem to keep himself moving correctly along the timeline.

    Summary

    The door opens. 

    Claire chokes. Ryland is standing there in blue PJ pants and an oversized PBS t-shirt. He's rubbing his eyes, which are missing his glasses, which makes it even more obvious how similar they look. When his hand falls away, Six watches him process what is standing at his door. His eyes go from Six, down to Claire, then back up to Six. 

    He laughs, high and stressed, then closes the door in their face.

    OR, Six needs help taking care of Claire after they break free from their respective jails. He decides that his younger brother Ryland Grace is the solution.

    Summary

    Two years after Grace and Rocky arrive at Erid, they're back in the Hail Mary delivering Taumeoba to other stars in Erid's solar system. All is well, until they're pulled onto the Earth of a separate universe where superheroes are commonplace and Astrophage never dimmed the sun.

    SHIELD takes them into custody, and the saviors of Earth meet the saviors of the stars. But not without some road bumps along the way.

    (And as it turns out, Rocky and Grace might not be the only interdimensional travelers in the picture.)

    -

    "Rocky unlawfully detained, question!? Rocky has not been read Miranda Rights, like in the movie show Criminal Minds. Rocky wants lawyer! Rocky wants to speak to world dictator Stratt!"
