    Summary

    Simon is the new history teacher at Grover Cleveland Middle and he likes his job. A lot. It's fun teaching the kids and it's nice being able to adapt to civilian life. The only hiccup is the science teacher next door.

    Ryland is excited to befriend the new history teacher, but for some reason he can't seem to have a normal conversation with him. Like ever.

    Summary

    Simon and Ryland Grace were dead before they had been sent on their prospective missions, bothgiven the allusion of a choice they were never allowed to make in the first place. There had only ever been one option for both of them; do your missions and choke on it.
    Neither was supposed to be alive. Technically neither of them were, not on paper.
    Grace is built of scraps of memories stitched together with massive holes that needed patching, but with kindness pouring out of him like water.
    Simon is made of calcified soil, hard packed and sturdy as iron, walls erected to keep it all in, to keep it all safe.
    Water can be a corrosive thing, a dangerous thing, a suffocating thing.
    But in the right hands, it can create a garden.
