    Summary

    "I'm joking about giving it to you, just to be clear. It's definitely not a drug you'd want to use for healing. Humans can die from taking too much of it."

    Rocky hums. "Why have so much available on mission, question? Seems dangerous."

    "Remember when I said the Hail Mary was never intended to return home?" Rocky whistles an affirmative for courtesy's sake. I know he can't forget. "Part of the provisions was offering the astronauts a means of dying on their own terms."

    Rocky learns that the Hail Mary was a suicide mission in every sense of the word. Grace reckons with his role as the messenger of mercy.

    Summary

    “What you holding?” He asks and motions to weapon i have aimed at my head, he doesn’t know what’s happening right now…

    “Oh it’s uh…an earth device…it makes people happy.” The lie slips out easier than expected, I feel my finger touch the trigger, am I really going to do this? Right infront of him? It won’t matter to me after, I’ll be dead but I don’t want to do that to Rocky. My head argues.

    Summary

    The elevator's receiver array picks up a garbage signal beamed in from deep space. No matter their attempts, Eridian scientists cannot make top or bottom of it. A misfire, or an echo of that long lost crew's final transmission, most likely. It is recorded, but never publicized.

    And then it happens again.

    Summary

    After that Rocky understood very clearly – that predator was dumb but in the best way possible.

    Rocky didn’t know how to describe it better. Its body – Grace’s body – was badly designed here and there. But all together? Surprisingly efficient. And scary, and disgusting. And Grace didn’t pay much attention to it because it was just like that all its life.
    It was a past for its – h̴u̵m̶a̶n̵ – species when they used the advantages of their body for a hunt, the alien explained later, but for Rocky it was so obvious, that Grace was a deadly predator, it wasn’t even funny.

    ___
    Or, Humans are just THAT thing from the Appalachia mountains for aliens and I would die on that hill, thank you very much. It’s hilarious!

    Summary

    Rocky didn't mention the asteroid belt surrounding Erid's Solar System. After a meteor collides with the Mary, Rocky suffers a fall and is out for the count. Grace knows very little Eridian, but by God, he's gonna get his friend some help.

    It's just too bad the Eridians think they're talking to a pebble.

    ***

    "Have fi-x," he whistled. "Life eat. Hurt bad."

    Oh, God, this was not gonna work. Not one bit.

    Summary

    Ryland Grace was what most would call a ‘child genius’. Graduated with a Doctorate in Molecular Biology at 13, he was a rising star in the field, until he opened his big mouth. One (well deserved) crash-out in front of hundreds of his peers and a ridiculed paper later and Grace’s only career option left was an assistant professor at his alma madre. When Eva Stratt comes knocking however, his whole future is turned on its head.

    What happens when you stick a certified child genius in space with a highly intelligent alien species? Well obviously he accepts him as their own. Join 14 year old Dr. Ryland Grace in his (mis)adventures from recruitment to star savior.

    A play on pebble Ryland Grace fics that I’ve been obsessed with.

    Summary

    Less than 2 months away from Erid. In the process of the Hail Mary evading an exoasteroid, Rocky falls from top to bottom of the ship.

    In normal circumstances, Rocky could shake it off. Maybe a little sore, but okay.

    In this case, Rocky cannot.

    Rocky is scared.

    Summary

    “You trust me?”

     

    “I… yeah. Of course.”

     

    Rocky stopped working, not because he needed to in order to carry on the conversation, but to make sure I was sure he was giving me his full attention. He was thoughtful like that. His carapace tilted up. “Rocky fix beetles, send to Erid.  Then Rocky and Grace go to Earth. Grace will live. Grace see sibling again. Rocky promise. Rocky fix. Grace trust.”

    Summary

    Two-body problem: A problem of classical mechanics to calculate and predict the motion of two massive bodies that are orbiting each other in space.

    “Adrian, just a small warning: the Rocky that came back might not be the Rocky you know. It’s classified, but my friend is one of the comms specialist on the space elevator. They told me things. He acts… weird. He doesn’t sleep, and neglects the medical and psychological exams. I’m not sure he’s here, if you know what I mean."
    “Where is he, then?” Adrian’s musical notes come out discordant.
    “Wherever his human companion is stuck. If the alien dies, Rocky might never come down from the stars.”

    Or; twenty-three friends leave for the most dangerous mission known to Erid, two strangers return.

    Summary

    “Sorry, bud. It’s going to be a hm… a bit of a pickle to keep me alive.” Grace chuckles.

    “Eridians build whatever Grace needs." Rocky chirps. ”Food that taste good and other stupid needs. Grace no worry. Stay alive and happy, Rocky make sure.”

    Grace nods, but that familiar fear is creeping up on him. The one that visits him when his head hits the pillow, that makes him feel like he's just stalling the inevitable. It's silly.

    All he has to do is not starve on the way to Erid. Then he'll be the only human on the planet. For the rest of his life. Which is not scary at all.

    Summary

    I am participating in @seth-whumps Whumperless Whump Event for July 2026!

    Get ready for 31 different stories featuring our lovely Ryland Grace. These are mostly stories about Grace and Rocky's relationship through the lens of whump, but Adrian, Carl, Stratt, original Eridians, and Colt are featured as well.

    ~

    But Rocky uses another claw to grab a tissue and wipe at his skin. His touch is always surprisingly tender for being a rock.

    “Did you think…” his voice trails off. “Did you think I was gonna -”

    “No,” Rocky says immediately, cutting him off. “Grace sick. Grace hurt. But Grace no die.”

    Grace nods. “I wouldn’t have gotten through this without you.”

    Rocky dabs the tears around his eyes away. “Rocky would not be here without Grace.”

    He raised his coffee to his lips to blow on it. New cell life was cool, but not unheard of for space exploration. Especially after Astrophage and Taumoeba and…
    “Human life!”

    Grace blew too hard on his coffee in shock and felt the scalding liquid hit the ground. Right on his foot, too.
    “Sugar honey iced-tea!-.. What?!..”

    Convict at some point was taken from his blood moon, now freshly mutated and... Tiny. Tiny by Grace's standards of course, alternate universes don't always mean the same scale of everything.

    Summary

    Another planet has noticed that 40 Eridani is brightening again, and its inhabitants have showed up to say hello... and to make a very strange offer: each of Erid’s representatives may make a wish. And what Grace and Rocky both want most, but think they can never have, is to better understand the strange way in which the other sees the world. No AI was used in the writing or illustrating of this story.

    Summary

    “Grace, question?”

    I perk up at the sound of Rocky's voice. It's not uncommon after almost two years into our trip to Erid to ask random questions about me, or humans, or really earth in general. Especially after an hour or two on his computer.

    “Yes Rocky?”

    “Humans persistence predators, question? Humans hunters, question?”

    “Ah.”
