Summary
A nameless Vessel crawls out of the Abyss. Glimpsing the Light and the sibling it took only confirmed a place above where it was born. There is a way up and out, and the Vessel had made such a climb before.
(Instead of making it to the Wastes, the Knight is found in Deepnest.)

Summary
“I think little humans love you,” Rocky says. “Must. You are—”
He hesitates, thinking.
“Need word. Love very much, but not person. Love thing. Love doing. Need nothing else.”
He has a way of working his limited vocabulary into just the right order. I turn to look at him like a starving animal that’s just been offered food, crumpling under how warm it makes me feel.
“Passionate,” I say weakly. Rocky sings the Eridian word, a multi-layered crescendo of chords that each seem to pour into the next, one by one by one. “I guess I am.”
Rocky gestures with a chain link he’s picked up, getting back to work. “Everything you do, you are focused. Work work work. You teach me language. You teach me human ways. No give up until problem is solved. No rest until stupid. Passion.”
“Darn,” I say, for lack of more intelligent words. Rocky briefly looks up from his chain.
“What, question?”
“I never thought about it like that.”
/////
Or: With nothing to do besides putting together a chain one link at a time, Grace and Rocky find time to have a moment.

Curiosity kills by Soowshie

Summary
Something was standing above his towel.
No… someone.
They seemed to be observing the towel, claws tapping against the material with what he took as curiosity, pinching it between the appendage.
Was it Rocky? It’d make sense, the Eridian would certainly have something harsh to say about him leaving his stuff laying around. He always had some mean quip to insult his shoddy human memory.
He opened his mouth to defend himself before Rocky could say something snappy, when the figure then moved, stocky legs rising from beneath their carapace and lifting them to their full standing height.
They were tall. Too tall.
That wasn’t Rocky.

Grace receives an unexpected visitor one night in his home on Erid.

Summary
“Uncle Grace!” a chorus of little voices rang out across the beach.
Chuckling, Grace closed his laptop after finishing class for the day as the last of his students filtered out of the classroom of their side of the xenonite divider. He stuffed his hands in his cardigan pockets and turned around to see the triplets scurrying across the sand in their xenonite suits towards Grace. Just a little further behind them, their elder sibling was moving at a more leisurely pace.
“Well, if it isn’t my little wonders,” Grace joked, sauntering over.

Summary
Every screen in the room blazed with the same breaking news feed. An alien voice had just asked for him by name on live television.
“Mr. Grace?” little Jamal whispered from the front row, eyes huge behind his glasses. “Is that really you they’re talking about? Like, you you?”
Ryland’s mouth opened, but nothing came out. His heart slammed against his ribs like it wanted to escape and hide under the desk with the class hamster. He was just Mr. Grace. The guy who drew cartoon planets on the board, who stayed late helping kids glue together messy dioramas of the solar system, who once spent an entire lunch period comforting a sobbing girl because her goldfish had “gone to the great fishbowl in the sky.” He graded spelling tests on vocabulary words like photosynthesis and asteroid. Aliens did not know his name. Aliens did not ask for science teachers.
The marker slipped from his fingers and clattered to the floor.

Summary
“What are you talking about?” Grace's fingers played quick chords as he spoke. He didn’t even look as he did it, but it did not make them any less purposeful.
“Discussing possible reasons why Tau Ceti is not infected while other stars are,” Eva replied deftly. “I would invite you to join, but we were just finishing—”
“Oh, that’s easy.” His hand twisted a knob, and the notes came out sharper. “It is infected—Petrova Line and everything.”
In Grace's opinion, dreaming about time traveling is no excuse for getting out of practice with his Eridian. To the rest of the Petrova Taskforce, it seems a bit odd that their resident Astrophage expert has suddenly taken to carrying a keyboard around and playing it whenever he speaks. Eva Stratt resolves to figure out what is going on.

Summary
Rocky has called Grace stupid hundreds of times, but now that they're no longer in crisis mode, Rocky's beginning to suspect that stupid isn't the right word.
Or: words have connotations, and Grace needs to be a teacher outside of his usual subject.

Summary
♪So humans do not need to care about viruses, question?♪
“Well… we do need to care a little. Some viruses cause more severe infections than others. Influenza, for example, is pretty inconvenient for most people. It can cause nausea, fever, nose leaking, aches, coughing, and more. It can even be deadly for people with weak immune systems, like children or the very old. We definitely take it seriously when someone vulnerable gets infected. Influenza is one of the diseases we vaccinate for. Who remembers what vaccination is?”
The entire class raised their claws. Grace facepalmed.
“Right, duh. Forget I asked.”
♪Cannot forget.♪ Someone chimed, eliciting several giggling thrills.
OR
Ryland Grace has an annoyingly short lifespan by Eridian standards. Rocky fix. Good thing Grace is there to teach the Eridians everything they need to know about human biology.

Summary
Stranded at 40 Eridani with his best friend — who has too many legs and absolutely no concept of minding his own business — Grace has made peace with life on Erid. Then Rocky runs the numbers. The numbers are bad. Grace is declining, slowly but certainly, despite Rocky's best efforts.
Rocky's solution is exactly what you'd expect: massive, meticulous, and completely non-negotiable. A new ship. A diplomatic delegation. Six years of travel with the only family he has left — which, Grace privately admits, is the first thing that's made going home feel possible. And one small additional item Rocky mentions almost as an afterthought: the thrum has determined that Grace requires a mate, and they have assigned it diplomatic priority.
Grace has a lot of feelings about this. Rocky is unmoved.

Summary
From the Hunter’s Notes on the Great Conchfly:
Elder Conchfly crowned with a huge coral horn. Once partnered with a mate, they will rarely be seen alone.
To pair with another is a base instinct, and one that brings some bugs great joy. I once sought similar union, but of my own mates none could match my lifespan.
To be a demigod is to inherit the lifespan of a Higher Being, and thus to outlive all mortals who cross your path.

Someone finally realises that a planet named 'Stewjon' sounds like bullshit, actually

“I only have my mother’s DNA,” He shrugged. “Like you all. Master Jinn said that I was born to be the Jedi’s Chosen One, destroy the Sith, win the war, all that stuff.”
You could hear a pin drop in the mess, all the Vode frozen and staring at him.
“Sir, are you saying that you’re a clone?” Rex asked slowly, wondering if they had misunderstood or something.

Anakin only having his Mom's DNA means he's technically a clone, the vode decide that means he's one of them, and this messes things up for PalpatineSeries
