    Summary

    Rocky and Adrian are brooding their nest site, leaving Grace to his own devices for 5.5 Eridian years. At least he’ll have company. From many other Eridians; many he’s met before, others he meets for the first time.

    (Alternately, Adrian wants to be sure Grace has sufficient behavioral enrichment so he doesn’t go cuckoo again)

    Summary

    Rocky stares at me for five torturous seconds. And then he chirps, “Sloth endurance time!

    “No!” I shriek, putting my literal and metaphorical foot down. “You cannot just randomly tell me to strike the Jesus pose when you’re trying to get out of a conversation!”

    --

    Or: Three times Rocky gave Grace secret physical therapy, and one time it didn't have to be so secret anymore.

    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.”

    Summary

    "Rocky doesn’t respond, other than continuing his wordless trill. The sound triggers a memory, a bunch of different moments, rolled into one: sitting with my knees pulled up to my chest– in my classroom after my students had all gone home for the day, in a corner of my tiny apartment, hiding out alone in Stratt’s office– anxiety crushing my chest so tightly that I couldn’t breathe, that I was sure the world was going to fall apart around me.

    A panic attack. I get panic attacks. That makes sense for me.

    Is Rocky having a panic attack?"

    Summary

    Ryland Grace is many things: brilliant, stubborn, and absolutely terrible at taking care of himself. He isn't exactly well-known for a bulky constitution or having an incredible immune system. In fact, ask anyone who knows him well and they'll say, "Oh, yeah, he gets sick. A lot."

    But those who do know him love him and care.

    After all, that's their Ryland Grace.

    Or, a nine-chapter sickfic focusing on nine people (or groups of people) and how they perceive and care for a sick Grace.

    Summary

    “You have about five hours left in San Francisco, and then your life won’t be your own for a long time,” Carl adds, because he can sense Grace is about to start spitfiring questions in that sort of awkward rambling way he asks most things.

    It definitely doesn’t help, and Grace’s face contorts through several different emotions, before finally landing on confusion, his mouth opening and closing over words he can’t quite conjure. Carl tries not to focus on how pretty he looks when he’s confused, or how expressive his eyebrows are.

    Summary

    Rocky calls an intervention because Grace isn’t taking adequate care of his own reproductive needs. Witnessing the human ‘self-mating’ process unlocks some painful memories for the Eridian.

    (My take on the “Grace is going to jack off on the trip to Erid at *some* point, right?” premise.)

    Summary

    “Rocky’s been away from home a very long time. And he’s never exactly told me he’s homesick. He’s never exactly talked about how much it hurts him to be apart from Adrian for so long. When he’s happy, everything is Erid, Adrian, Erid, Adrian. And when he’s not… he closes in on himself. When that happens, I don’t push. I give him space.”

    The Hail Mary is getting closer to Erid all the time, and the future is uncertain. Grace will eventually run out of coma slurry. Rocky doesn’t know if Adrian will still be waiting. And neither one of them knows if they will ever truly find a home. It’s a leap in the darkness. A Hail Mary. And all you can do is trust.

    Sequel to Sing Name, and we're gonna get to Erid. You don't have to have read Sing Name to read this, but some parts will make more sense if you have.

    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

    "Several months into our journey, I begin itching. Not physically – I mean, that does happen sometimes, but I’m talking about mental itching. The kind where you know you want to do something, maybe even something specific, but lack the means to do so.
    I just don’t have the one thing needed for my specific itch: a student."

    Or: Grace shows Rocky a bunch of leftover Earth materials from the lab. Tinfoil happens.

    Rocky is not adjusting well to life back on Erid. Between Grace's steadily declining health and his own inability to control his temper, Rocky feels unfit to be celebrated as some great savior.

    And then there is the matter of Adrian.

    Summary

    Rocky had said his arms would heal after I went back for him, and yeah, one of them is fine now but the other…not so much. I noticed it had never really healed, but I just thought maybe it was worse off than the other one and was taking longer to recover. Paying more attention to it recently, though, it honestly looks way worse than it did when I first found him. I'm worried.
