Summary:
“….okay,” he said, pacing once, like movement might fix this. “okay, okay, okay, okay, we can figure this out. we always figure things out.” “right,” you said, latching onto that. “we analyze.” “we observe.” “we hypothesize.” “we do not panic.” “we are absolutely not panicking.” you were both very clearly panicking. or you and ryland got hit by a mysterious dust.
Personal Review: this fic managed to perfectly get Grace’s character. The trope can be pretty cliché for some people, but it has been beautifully executed in this case.
