    Summary

    It hit him. It hit him all at once. He dropped his marker. Holy moly.

    It was absurd. It was so absurd. It was basically the plot of a Back to the Future movie. It shouldn’t have been possible. And yet, it was the only conclusion that filled the missing puzzle pieces.

    Concern was visible on Simon’s face. “What? What is it?”

    - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

    Grace slowly begins to uncover where, and when, Simon exactly came from.

    Summary

    “What did you mean…” Simon said, “When you said you ‘didn’t volunteer for this?’”

    Grace breathed through his nose, his lips forming a thin line as he shook his head. 

    “Grace. What did you mean?”

    When Simon continues to mistreat Grace and Rocky, Grace finally stands up to him, leading to the two of them realizing they're more alike than they originally thought.

    Summary

    Much to Rocky's chagrin, Grace does not swear and refuses to let Rocky do so in English either. Agruments with Grace's child friendly stand-ins ensue

    ~~~

    My headcanon is that Rocky swears like a fucking sailor, so enjoy him getting upset that Grace is censoring his not childfriendly language

    Summary

    When Rocky first found an alien life form near Tau Ceti, he never expected to see them again after a solution was found, so he named them accurately for what he knew about them: Dumbass

    This brings up multiple issues when the two arrive at Erid and the elders do not approve of the name for the planet's savior

    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

    In a universe where your lost belongings apear with your soulmate for safekeeping, Ryland Grace receives very few objects from his soulmate—but he treasures every single one of them.
    The only thing keeping Rocky sane during his years stranded in space are the strange trinkets that appear around him from his soulmate. He is endlessly grateful for them finally appearing; he desperately needs the distraction from his dead crew and the crushing silence of space.

    Summary

    "Many stages in Eridian reproductive process. Rocky Adrian laying cycles finally sync up recently. So, Rocky Adrian think finally time for eggs. Adrian lay five eggs, very good. Only, strange thing happen. Rocky only lay one egg."

    “Oh,” I say. “That’s unusual, right?”

    "Very," Rocky hums.

    My throat tightens. "Does that mean there's something wrong? Are you sick?"

    Rocky makes a gesture I usually interpret as "not exactly". "Not sick," he says. "But doctors still worry. When Eridian start to make fewer eggs, this usually means laying period of life is over soon. Rocky very young for this. Rocky supposed to be in ideal time of life for laying. Rocky younger than Adrian, even." He shifts on three of his feet. Already, my mind is racing ahead, wondering -- "Doctors told Rocky to ask Grace, is this radiation side effect, question?"

    Summary

    An Imperial priestess of Mara is kidnapped by the Thalmor, discovers she's dragonborn, finds a family in her fellow adventurers, and meets the love of her life. Not necessarily in that order.

    Originally a series of snippets that popped into my head while playing livtempleton's excellent Kaidan 2 mod, this will most likely be short stories of traveling skyrim with companions rather than a full retelling of the main story. Written in a mixture of letters, diary entries, and regular ol' third person prose.

    Credit to livtempleton for the original Kaidan, and also to the KRCE mod team for expanding the character.

    Summary

    The Eridians have finally gotten the water feature in Ryland's personal zoo enclosure just right (even if Rocky would like him to stop calling his dome that).

    Rocky refuses to believe that humans naturally float. There is no way Ryland's entire species regularly goes into deep water for fun.

    Summary

    There are only two little issues to ensuring my livelihood.

    Vitamins and food. Fine, not so little. Big big big issues. Vitamins are going to be a major struggle. Humans are built to get most of their vitamins from food, of which I’ve already run out, aside from a few half-rations saved for really hard days. I’ve already separated a large sample of coma slurry to give over when we get to Erid. Hopefully, having samples of all my vitamins will help them figure out what to synthesize rather than just going from scratch.

    Food is going to be even trickier.

    But I have a plan. A foolhardy one, likely, but a plan nonetheless. I am going to start a farm. Yeah, that’s right. Have I literally ever lived in a house with its own yard my entire life? No. Have I ever grown anything bigger than the lima beans in wet paper towels as a class experiment? No! Do I have any of the things I need to even start a farm, most importantly, the seeds? No!

    Well, maybe. Okay, here’s the rundown.

    or Grace has lofty dreams to start a farm on Erid. We'll see how it goes.

    Summary

    "There is no point in any of this rumination. You are gone. You are nothing now but a muse, something that I can conjure upon command and listen. You are nothing more now than a lullaby, a prayer, a dissonant, augmented, ugly, beautiful melody."

    Rocky and Grace part ways for their respective planets. It should feel like a victory. It doesn't.

    Summary

    After four years of space travel, Grace and Rocky are finally approaching Erid. Grace has been working hard to learn Eridian, but two days out, disaster strikes - his keyboard is broken and Rocky is hurt.

    Luckily, Grace can speak some very basic Eridian with his single set of vocal cords. Unfortunately, he sounds like a newly hatched baby Eridian when he does.

    Summary

    The first time it happened, Garrus thought it was the last gasps of his dying mind.
    The second time was late into the night cycle on a random Tuesday.
    The third time, he almost didn’t notice.
    The fourth time, he was a nervous mess.
    And then there was the time they almost didn't.

    A gift for the wonderful EmmaVakarian_Theirin, who gave me the idea AGES ago.

    Summary

    Ryland Grace expected a lot of things to change when he decided to go back to Blip-A and save Rocky, but he had no idea things would get this complicated. Namely, this emotionally involved.
    --
    Ryland Grace will starve on his way to Erid without figuring out a new food source. In this universe, Rocky offers to help create a food Ryland can eat during their journey on the Hail Mary together by hybridizing Ryland's DNA with food from his planet. As a result, Ryland begins taking on... different traits. Traits that make it possible for him and Rocky (and eventually, Adrian) to get closer than any of them ever thought they would be while the three of them start a life together on Erid.
    --
    To simplify, Ryland Grace becomes the mate (and eventual pebble incubator) to Rocky and Adrian.
