    Summary

    'The human probe arrived twenty earth years into Grace’s life on Erid.

    As self-proclaimed ‘second contact’, the probe announced that a human delegation would be sent to Erid, and contained detailed notes and data of how they would survive in our environment. They knew nothing of what we had made for Grace, of the biodome and the xenonite suits. Instead, they had come up with their own method of adjusting to life on Erid. Of a deep, cultural exchange.

    It was ingenious. It was crazy. It was human to the core of it. I was only a little jealous that we hadn’t thought of it first.'

    Summary

    Clark looks around himself, at the star system that should have been the final resting place of three astronauts, and only two of them are accounted for. The Hail Mary, and Dr Ryland Grace with it, are completely absent.

    Clark floats for a moment, looking around himself in honest, total bafflement, as if Ryland Grace is going to appear from thin air if he wills it hard enough. He furrows his brow.

    “Huh.”

    Or,

    Clark is confused, Bruce is drawing some conclusions he isn't thrilled about, and Hal is just happy to be there

    Summary

    Holland’s eyes flick over his face, and a faint pink blush appears on his cheeks. It’s utterly adorable. Jack has never wanted to kiss him so badly.

    “Good to see you awake, Mr. March!” booms a jovial voice from the doorway. Holland flinches back, yanking his hand away from Jackson’s.

    It’s stupid, but it hurts. He’s stupid. He’s in love.

    Five times Jackson Healy wanted to kiss Holland March, and one time he finally does.

    Summary

    The arrival at Erid is a momentous occasion. Rocky is excited and thrilled. Ryland is overwhelmed. But the reunion is happy, beautiful, amazing.

    Or that's what it should have been. Except Rocky gets hurt, Ryland is left to try and communicate with an alien planet, and everyone is scrambling to figure out how to do this. To Grace, this is incredible but also bittersweet - he got Rocky home safely with the taumoeba, now he just gets... to starve. To Erid, this is insane - how did Rocky show up in an alien spaceship with a child???

    ...

    Ryland Grace is stuck trying to speak Eridian, immediately makes himself sound like a child, and Rocky's world and family scramble to help this strange pebble. Misunderstandings galore, alongside hurt/comfort and angst and fluff.

    Summary

    “You are not sleeping.” Rocky observes after a while longer of Ryland flopping from side to side and huffing in increasing impatience. “You said you would sleep.”

     

    “I’m trying.” Ryland mutters. “It’s not as easy for humans as it is for Eridians.”

     

    Sleep has been an increasingly large problem as of late. Ryland sits around all day, tries to convince himself to do something productive, fails, eats chalky pasty coma-slurry, stares into (literal) space until his eyes start to burn, and then lies awake in bed feeling miserable about his life choices.

     

    Or, as he remembers now, not choices.

     

     

    It's a long trip to Erid, and then the rest of his life, however long that may be. Luckily, Ryland has the best company in the galaxy along for the ride.

    Summary

    Ryland Grace stood in the corner. Almost exactly as she remembered him, but she had never seen this expression on his face. To call it sadness would be to diminish the anguish carved into his features. It was as if he was grieving his own self, slowly, carefully, a monster digesting its own bones.

    But the only monster in this room was her.

    “You’re not here,” Stratt said.
    -
    or: stratt is haunted by the guy she sent to die

    Summary

    Eridians show affection mostly through singing, or by making gifts. Rocky has always found it an easy, uncomplicated way to express his feelings.

    Human affection is neither easy nor uncomplicated, he quickly discovers. It’s full of strange customs, involves a lot of touching and is, sometimes, worryingly violent.

    Summary

    “You are crazy,” he says. “Crazy and stupid stupid stupid. Not same Grace I saved planets with.”

    “Alright, Rock, I get—”

    “Is not too much,” Rocky says firmly, leaning in until he’s nearly met my forehead, until my eyes go blurry with the task of adjusting to how close he is. I couldn’t even fit my glasses between us to put them on. “Hugs and cuddles through xenonite suit, only touch through many layers. Is not enough. Better to be under you skin, between you ribs. Hear you heart right up close, noisy, alive. I would prefer.”

    "What?"

    "What, question?"

    /////

    Grace is worried that Rocky secretly hates hugs. In an attempt to reassure him, Rocky says a bit too much.

    Summary

    Grace has settled into his life on Erid, barring a few...minor hiccups, he'll call them. He keeps postponing his decision on whether or not to go back to Earth, and now so many years have passed that he thinks the decision may have been made for him.

    That is, until Rocky comes to him with a new idea. One that Grace really, really doesn't like.

    Summary

    Grace is a pebble. An alien pebble, but a pebble nonetheless. Rocky and Adrian know they're the only ones suitable for caring for said pebble. Said pebble has yet to get the memo. In unrelated news, Ryland Grace has a headache.

    Summary

    ‘There appears to be a real risk,’ said Psychologist Prime, tapping a stylus against their tablet in an idle way that frayed at the edge of Adrian’s sore nerves, ‘That should Alien Human-from-Earth-of-Sol Asylum-seeker Savior-of-Erid Grace perish, then your mate Savior Rocky may experience a radical and potentially fatal decline in physiological and psychological health.’

    ‘...I see,’ said Adrian. With exceptional calmness.

    ---

    Let it not be said that Adrian was not devoted as well. They had stood firm, a loyal widower longer than others could fathom. Once you encountered a love like Rocky’s, there could be no replacement. Nothing could even compare.

    ‘Do you understand that?’ Adrian wanted to ask. So desperately, they wanted the alien’s reply. ‘Are you the only other creature in the universe who understands what it is like to be loved by someone so completely?’

    ---

    Adrian meets Grace several times, before Grace is healthy enough to meet them in return. Despite light-years of distance between their species, Adrian might have finally met the first other being who appreciates Rocky like they do; or so they hope.

    Summary

    "You're acting weird today."
    Rocky exhales a puff of air from his radiator the way a human would. He wonders when certain habits became second nature to him, like tilting his carapace and bobbing it up and down as though nodding, and he wonders, too, whether the time spent with Grace hasn't changed them both beyond repair, until they've become almost strangers to their own species. No longer Eridian, no longer human, but simply Rocky and Grace.
    "I'm acting weird?" he murmurs. "You're sitting on the floor in your underwear."
