Summary
What would being Eridian be like?
Not being able to see, no eyes, no mouth, no face. Living for hundreds of years longer than any human. Walking freely around the alien planet you've been living on. Speaking with other Eridians properly. Teaching your students more effectively. Being able to touch other living things…
Grace's breath hitches at that thought.
or
Grace gets to be an Eridian so he can hug Rocky properly (and not die!)
(fic name comes from the Phoebe Bridgers song "I know the end" -a really great song highly recommended <3 )

@ziplocmags on twitter: “shortly pre-launch adrian gives rocky an egg-shaped carving as a reminder to come back safe to them so they can start a family once their sun heals and rocky has given that imaginary pebble a thousand different lives over the years and years and years he was alone.”

Summary
"What is this?" Adrian asked because what else could be done?
"My friend— Grace" they replied as if it were obvious.
When Adrian didn't respond they spoke again, "He helped me save the stars."
"It's dying," Adrian told them— softly, gently.
"No," they stomped a foot, even the thought angering them. "He will be okay, he is hungry— makes him weak. That's all."

Summary
“Grace, question?”
I perk up at the sound of Rocky's voice. It's not uncommon after almost two years into our trip to Erid to ask random questions about me, or humans, or really earth in general. Especially after an hour or two on his computer.
“Yes Rocky?”
“Humans persistence predators, question? Humans hunters, question?”
“Ah.”

Summary
"You'll be remembered as a hero."
Ryland Grace hates that sentence.
Heroes volunteer. Heroes aren't shoved onto spaceships and sent light-years from home.
After learning that taumoeba can consume xenonite, Ryland gives up his chance of ever seeing Earth again and turns the Hail Mary around to save Rocky.
Rocky is thrilled.
Ryland is not prepared for Rocky's constant hovering, concern over his eating habits, refusal to respect personal space, or the sudden revelation that Rocky and his mate Adrian have apparently been looking for a third.
Three years to Erid is a long time to spend trapped on a spaceship.
Especially when Rocky has decided that Ryland belongs with them.

Summary
He sees them round the corner, Rocky's brown and green carapace leading ahead of a larger Eridian. They were a gradient of blues and greens, the colors reminded him of turquoise, or maybe jade, and had spots of warm black dotted around their form. They had a splotch of brown on one their arms, mirroring the one he has seen on Rocky.
"Grace!" Rocky bounds over, the other Eridian swiftly coming with him. "Grace meet Mate Adrian. Adrian meet Friend Grace."
It really is them Grace thinks, giddy with joy.

Summary
Grace decides to show Rocky musicals one day while on their way to Erid. He wears Rocky's celebration clothes (plus some extra he had Rocky make) and sings in the Don't go crazy room. Apparently, performing for an Eridian is very different than what Grace thought.

Alienation and Recovery by I_Like_This_A_Normal_Amount

Summary
While working on solving the issue of Grace slowly dying of starvation, malnutrition, and a host of other issues, the Eridians discover the human internet (largely Wikipedia) and fall down a rabbit hole of trying to figure out everything they can about the needs of their squishy alien savior. While most of their focus is on the food issue, another link catches their (metaphorical) eyes.
"Touch starvation, also known as touch deprivation or skin hunger, is the physiological need by humans and other species for physical contact with their own species or other living beings."
No one is happy about this.

Summary
Ryland Grace kept his joint pain a secret for more than a decade from almost everyone. But his jaw is out of place now, and he's hurtling towards a planet with twice the gravity he's used to, and trouble is on it's way.
“Rocky, you know I wear special clothes sometimes.”
“Yes, culture.”
“They’re not cultural. I have something wrong with my joints. So I hurt all of the time, and sometimes my joints pop out of place.”
Rocky’s full attention was on me, his hands even still for once. “When Grace wear special clothes, you hurt. You hurt today. But you no hurt for reason.”Book and film canon variable, leaning more to book canon but sharing both based on what I felt like. Spoilers for everything.

Two.
Not one.
Two.
Because there was a small baby Eridian on top of Adrian’s head.
“Oh, my word!” Grace exclaimed, hands on his face. Grace hovered closer to the xenonite barrier between him and Adrian, trying to get as close as possible. Adrian clicked happily and leaned closer as well. “A baby! That’s a baby!”

Summary
Rocky visits Grace's life support quarters with some exciting news, some time into his recovery on Erid---the biodome habitat has finally been completed.
It takes a step through the airlock and sinks down into rough sand and pebbles. I chirp and hop down after it. Grace has not seen the biodome yet, but neither have I, and in my enthusiasm I dart slightly ahead.
Grace inhales so sharply that I turn to hear him better in a panic. “Grace? Grace, what is wrong? You are hurt?”
My assumption is quickly corrected when, without warning, it bolts.

Summary
“Rocky not explain question?” asked Adrian slowly.
“Busy,” said Rocky, sheepish.
“Had four years on ship.”
“Busy then too.”
Adrian skittered back and forth, which I think equated to a human throwing both hands up in exasperation. “With what question?”
“Science!”
“Whole time science question? Four years!”
“Is much science in universe!”--
Rocky has neglected to explain some very important cultural context to Grace.

Summary
In their complete shock, Adrian thinks they can be excused for missing another presence on that ship before they were almost pounding on the ship's door. But when they did notice, they froze in their tracks.
Bipedal. Almost completely organic. Two front-facing, predator-like light detectors. Descriptions flashed through their head, descriptions that are only known through dead bodies because no Galactic Collective agent would dare go near them alive.
It's a human.
Rocky is trapped in a ship with a human.
or,
The Humans Are Space Orcs fic that nobody except me was asking for, so I wrote it myself.

Ryland Grace knows his time is coming.
Worst of all, Ryland thinks Rocky knows it, too.
But... there might be another way for him to keep living.
("So," Ryland says, hands clasped on the table. “An artificial body, huh?”
“Yes.” Rocky sounds concerned. “We went over this, Grace.”)

Summary
“Grace want to meet Adrian, question?”
Somehow, it felt more significant than it really should’ve by now. Grace stumbled slightly where he stood, catching himself on the wall as he shot Rocky a glance.
“…Would you want me to?”
—
or: Grace prepares to meet his best friend’s partner and proceeds to overthink, panic, and sweat. A lot.
