Summary
“Hi Miss Grace!”
The woman addressed by Fern turns, and it’s like the morning sun peeking behind a curtain. Her face lights up, crinkling the lines sprouting beside her blue eyes, and she greets just as giddily, “Hi sweetheart!”
Without hesitancy, with a comfortable familiarity, Miss Grace lifts Fern and places her on her hip. Fern has the soft material of her cardigan clutched in one hand, and gesturing wildly with the other. It’s a sight that Simon has grown increasingly familiar with over the years. His daughter chats a mile a minute about the book she finished, the one Simon is currently putting into the return bin while observing the exchange with a fond expression.

Summary
Uncle Holland chuckles, “I’m a private eye, kiddo. I see all.”
“Yeah, and what do you see?” He fixes his glasses with a challenging glare.
“You,” He harshly pokes Ryland’s chest, and then throws a thumb over his shoulder to indicate the door Simon disappeared behind, “making googly eyes at Mr. Tall-Dark-and-Broody back there.”
(Or, Ryland is a pianist and Simon is a bartender, they both work weddings. Holland's also here being nosy about his nephew's love life.)

Summary
Grace's webbed hands press against the glass, his curious chitters surprising the young man standing next to the viewport he was observing from. He’s newer on the team, Grace jogs his memory for his name again.
The young man holds his hand to his chest, breathing a sigh of relief, “Oh hey, Grace. Come to see your new neighbor?”
He nods, chirping his burning question, “Who is it?”
“Dunno,” Chris, right, that’s his name– “It’s another mer.”
(Or, Rocky and Adrian are helped by a merman named Grace, and in turn they save him. Now happily living in the Erid Marine Rehabilitation & Research Center, Grace is surprised when another injured merman named Simon is brought to recover in a neighboring tank. Perhaps, these two lost souls may finally have a home, together.)

Summary
Whenever Simon looks at Ryland, chewing on the cap of a ballpoint pen as he grades his students’ quizzes, unaware of the late hour, sitting on their couch, wearing his soft cardigan, his glasses perched on the end of his nose, he thinks he’d like this in his future.
And for a harrowing moment, he fears this one singular dream he allows himself to cradle close to his heart will be ripped away from him before he can make it a proper reality.
"Ryland, he's gone."

Summary
If it is something beyond him, well maybe…
Ryland’s eyes glance up to the temple on the hill.
He’s not one who often turns to the gods. This village worships a different god from the ones Ryland recalls the fellowship or his hometown building temples and monuments for. He’s less familiar with this one. The Blood-Eyed One, the villagers call him.
(Or, the harvest in the village Ryland lives in is dying and the people are growing desperate. Their last hope is a sacrifice to the Blood-Eyed One, the Butcher.)
