Summary
'Rocky, do you remember the expected, average human lifespan?'
I ask it conversationally but Rocky freezes in place all the same.
'No,' he states.
'No?'
'Yes, Rocky remembers. No, do not want to talk about this.'
I lean back and fold my arms.
'Rock…'
'Grace. No. Bad bad bad.'
Dr Ryland Grace is an old man. Dr Ryland Grace knows what he wants to happen when the time comes. Rocky doesn't want to talk about it.

Summary
Grace is a well-schooled man who loves learning. Surely he can accomplish his goal in fifty-six days.
He creates a calendar on his whiteboard. Fifty-six days until his ship reaches the Blip-A.
Fifty-six days in which to learn how to say Rocky's name—his Eridian name.

Summary
After saving Grace and nearly dying in an alien atmosphere, Rocky lays an egg before going dormant.
Turns out being isolated for years and then nearly dying will force biological imperatives onto injured Eridians, and this one leaves Ryland Grace utterly baffled.
Aren't Eridians supposed to lay eggs in clutches? Only fused eggs are supposed to be viable, but when Grace accidentally touches the egg with his bare skin while trying to save it, that's apparently all the genetic fusion required for life to begin.
Ryland Grace skips a few steps when it comes to making a baby, and I test the limits of Eridian biology.

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
I live to see another day (and another fic with multiple chapters I begun). I'm kinda obsessed now, soz, I'm not letting them go. Trying to write a better fic than last time too, aiming for a bit of a slower burn (though it's faster paced? Maybe? Who knows?).
Oh, and I don't actually know how long this is going to be, so the chapter count might change as I write.₊˚⊹₊˚⊹₊˚⊹₊˚⊹₊˚⊹₊˚⊹₊˚⊹₊˚⊹₊˚⊹₊˚⊹₊˚⊹₊˚⊹₊˚⊹₊˚⊹₊˚⊹₊˚⊹₊˚⊹₊˚⊹₊˚⊹
Nothing better than being alone with your best friend in the radius of light years. What could go wrong? Well, for once, you can run out of real food and rely on coma slurry, and you can't even go back to coma because then your short friend will die of boredom. So what's left to do? How well can you know someone before you get compromised? Don't ask Grace.

Summary
I reach out and clasp his hand. It's his left, and there are no raised ridges dug into his skin where my atmosphere had once burned him. His hand is ice cold, just as I expected, and I've missed it. I've missed, missed, missed this skin and its press against the xenonite that had once permanently divided us, and I marvel at being able to truly feel Grace's fingers wrapped around mine. I can hear him even better now that we're touching, every gross, leaky bodily function sloshing around in that fragile body of his, pulsing in waves from the point where we are connected, and it's wonderful. I never want to let go.
I belatedly realize that usually, introductions go both ways. I may know Grace, but Grace doesn't know me; I push the thought away. "I'm Rocky."
(You gave me that name. Do you remember?)
"Rocky," he repeats, "like the movies?"
(You're the one who showed me those movies. Do you remember?)
"No, like the rocks," I say, because it's a stupid thing to say but if I say it seriously enough, Grace will laugh.

Summary
Ryland Grace is, against all odds, alive. He's living a lavish life on Erid with all the me-burgers he can eat and more probing (not like that!) scientists than he could have ever imagined. He's a teacher again, he's got beachfront property, and he's known as Savior Grace to a planet of aliens. Life is good.
Rocky is, against all odds, alive. After over half an century (always Earth units!) away from home, he's more than ecstatic to be back. His star is brightening, his mate waited for him, and all of Erid loves him. Any request he has is almost instantly fulfilled. Life is good.
So why are neither of them happy?

Summary
A collection of stories about Grace's life as a teacher on Erid.
Chapter 1: The kids find out how long humans live.
Chapter 2: Parent-teacher conferences.
Chapter 3: Grace takes his class on a field trip to his biodome. -
Tags
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 profoundly alone. You have been for a while. Suddenly, you aren't anymore, and you are struggling to be normal about it. Pooling strengths and weaknesses with the strange creature on its explosive-atmosphere ship might just be the only way to save both of your stars, but it might also lead to more than just strictly scientific discoveries, and neither of you are sure how to feel about that.
OR: The universe's most unlikely meet-cute.

Summary
Grace laughs, the bath's level swiftly rising with the addition of so much mass. "I thought this was disgusting, you're going to join me in here?"
Rocky blurts a huffy sound, taking care as he pulls his remaining limbs into the bath, crouching over Grace's legs. "Inside xenonite suit," he says like he's explaining something very obvious (which he is), "No touching cold, dirty bath. Humans made of water, leaking all day long, then still need to go sit in more water. Crazy." He shivers his torso morosely, sending Grace into a laugh that echoes sharply around the bowl of the tub.

Ryland Grace has been adrift for a very long time (certainly before being shot into space). Rocky has built him a house, and maybe Grace has found a home.Bookmarked by Hyarrowen

Summary
Dr. Captain Ryland Grace has been safely received by Erid. He is the most captivating spectacle the planet has ever seen. He only hopes they’ll let him down with minimal scandal when they find out what a coward he really is.
First Engineer of Alien Technologies, Savior Rocky, has known the truth about Grace the whole time. He only notices how beautiful his alien is too late, with the rest of the world watching.

Summary
Grace flexes its jaw, shifts the marker towards one corner of its mouth, then removes the marker without actually consuming it. It makes a sharp pop as it leaves Grace's mouth, brightening the tubing in Grace's nose.
"I've got it reversed," Grace decides.
I unfreeze enough to let out a loud and pointed noise of disgust.
"Yeah, sorry buddy. This isn't exactly my wheelhouse."
Without acknowledging the aborted attempt to eat the marker, nor wiping it's digestive fluids off of it, Grace taps the square it paused over again.
"This is actually a second cousin," It says.
I decide not to ask.

Or: The road to Erid is long. Rocky spends it slowly figuring out what it means to be human, and how Grace muddles along through it.

Summary
Rocky hums appreciatively, holding me tight. “Eridian language very information-dense. Especially for cursing. Grace could not handle.”
“I could – hey, I'm a grown man!”
“Once I hear Grace walk into lab table, fracture smallest toe,” Rocky says flatly. “Even then worst thing Grace say is dog gone it. My Grace crazy. No one on ship to stop you from say fuck, statement!”
I was already blushing from hearing my Grace. I only got redder from hearing the Eridian word I translated as fuck, whose notes Rocky has made me very, very familiar with over the past weeks. Hey, they say immersion is the best way to learn a language.

Summary
“Genital organ swelling…is because of sleep hallucination, question?” Rocky says, sounding baffled.
“Pretty much. Human bodies are weird.”
“Weird weird weird,” Rocky mutters, rolling back out of my arms. “Glad Grace okay.”
I nod, not feeling okay in the slightest. “Totally okay. I mean, how could I not be? I’ve got a spaceship, all the Taumoeba I can eat, and you. What else could I need?”
Last night's dream isn’t fading like my dreams usually do after I wake up. I’m not sure I even want it to. I can’t stop hearing the sounds my brain imagined Rocky would make as I sank my fingers knuckle-deep inside of him, as he praised me for making him feel so good–

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, and original Eridians 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.”
