Summary
Three years after the probes carrying Taumoeba and Dr. Ryland Grace's final message arrive on Earth, humanity launches an interstellar spaceship with a brand new mission. Thirty-six crew members (including two graduates of a certain San Franciscan junior high school) travel to the star 40-Eridani to make friendly contact with the Eridians and bring them the alien life form from Tau Ceti-E that can save their star if Dr. Grace's sacrifice failed.
Grace, now fifty-seven years old, is just trying to balance his life as a teacher while no longer being the only human on the planet anymore. It's a big adjustment, but Rocky and the Terra's Grace crew are going to make sure he's well taken care of.

Summary
When Data creates a sensory oasis for the one he loves, he believes it’s the perfect evening: marble temples, gentle touch, ambient devotion. But you have a surprise of your own—one that begins with summer rain and ends in shared laughter, muddy footprints, and a kiss born of starlight and trust.

Summary
Five years after Jack Crusher’s funeral, Beverly Crusher catches sight of a man she never expected to see again in the crowded heart of a starbase. One glance is enough to drag old grief, unfinished anger, and something far more dangerous back into the light - just as Jean-Luc Picard discovers that some feelings do not stay buried, no matter how fiercely they are denied.

It's going to be a long trip back to Erid. I'm trying to make it as easy on Rocky as I can.
(Or: Grace is wrong about what Eridians need, and he's especially wrong about why. )

Erid Saviour, Brave Special Friend Grace by hannah_bean

Summary
Grace is unprepared for the level of love that all of Erid seemed to have for him. It was vaguely terrifying, but also.... nice? To be cared for. To be wanted.
It gets worse when they find out the circumstances of him ending up on the Hail Mary.
When his declining health necessitates a trip back to Earth, he is faced with a planet that loves him so fiercely and wonderfully that it finally starts to break through his crippling lack of self worth and bloom into something incredible.
And Earth? Earth has to deal with an Erid that is polite, protective, and most of all, pissed.

Summary
"Many stages in Eridian reproductive process. Rocky Adrian laying cycles finally sync up recently. So, Rocky Adrian think finally time for eggs. Adrian lay five eggs, very good. Only, strange thing happen. Rocky only lay one egg."
“Oh,” I say. “That’s unusual, right?”
"Very," Rocky hums.
My throat tightens. "Does that mean there's something wrong? Are you sick?"
Rocky makes a gesture I usually interpret as "not exactly". "Not sick," he says. "But doctors still worry. When Eridian start to make fewer eggs, this usually means laying period of life is over soon. Rocky very young for this. Rocky supposed to be in ideal time of life for laying. Rocky younger than Adrian, even." He shifts on three of his feet. Already, my mind is racing ahead, wondering -- "Doctors told Rocky to ask Grace, is this radiation side effect, question?"

Luckily, Rocky is there to help him every step of the way.
