    Summary

    The trouble with multiverses is that one small change can spark an entire reality. In one universe parallel to 46'\, small matters - the speed with which paperwork was done, a few minutes’ difference in portal event initialization - went differently, and as a result, the next-to-last gravitational anomaly did not allow Stan Pines to escape from federal custody as early as he did in its sibling reality. As a result, Dipper, Mabel, and Soos had to proceed with only the incomplete and heavily biased explanations of what was going on offered to them by the angry, paranoid Stan lookalike who stormed out of the vending machine demanding to know who they were and why his house was suddenly full of novelty license plates, all while Stan and Agent Powers each learned and tried to interpret new information about what really happened in 1982 and Stan was further occupied with figuring out a new escape plan. How could everyone's stories possibly go downhill from there?

    Summary

    It's been years since Doctor Ryland Grace saved Erid and Earth. He is content with his life, happy just to teach the next generation of Eridians and have the occasional game night with Rocky and Adrian in his dome. For the most part, nothing changes.

    And that's the problem. Shouldn't Grace, y'know...age? When Rocky indicates that he should be sixty human years old by now, Grace can't reconcile the young face in the mirror with the time that his friend has religiously kept.

    Things get more complicated when another undoubtedly human ship shows up at the edge of the 40 Eridani system. Suddenly Grace is playing ambassador between the two species, and tensions are rising between them. Will this be a successful second contact, or is the peaceful life Grace just wants to live too much to ask for?

    Summary

    Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a mission he doesn't remember volunteering for. Alone on a ship scaled far too large for a borrower, he has to try to figure out why he's so far from home, and what he's supposed to do. On top of that, he needs to figure out why this mission is so prepared to have a borrower on the crew--standing at only six inches tall, it's easy to think none of this was meant for him. And yet, everywhere he looks he finds evidence that whoever built this ship built it with both humans and borrowers in mind.

    An impossible task looms over him. A scientific mystery has somehow sent him hurtling through space, impossibly far from any other human or borrower, and it's on him to surpass an extinction-level threat that doesn't care how big someone is. It will end the world all the same if he doesn't do something about it.

    But, despite what he thinks, he's not alone.
