I wasn't supposed to be here. At first, I convince myself it's just a bizarre coincidence. Ryland Grace exists. He's real. He's just a teacher... just a man I was never supposed to meet and definitely never supposed to fall for. Then the world starts to change. The impossible becomes impossible to ignore, and I realise this isn't just his world. It's his story. And I know exactly how it ends. I know what he's going to be asked to do. I know what it will cost him. I know that one day he'll have to choose between the man he is and the man the world needs him to be. I can't tell him any of it. So instead, I stay. I stand beside him as everything slowly falls apart, offering reassurances I can't explain and hoping that somehow, somehow, knowing him might change what's coming. Because I know. I just know. #1 in RyanGosling out of 336 stories 30/06/26 #3 in ProjectHailMary out of 142 stories 30/06/26 #2 in Ryland out of 1.77K stories 30/06/26 #4 in Isekai out of 25.4K stories 13/07/26 #1 in AndyWeir out of 31 stories 07/07/26
