    Summary

    Two-body problem: A problem of classical mechanics to calculate and predict the motion of two massive bodies that are orbiting each other in space.

    “Adrian, just a small warning: the Rocky that came back might not be the Rocky you know. It’s classified, but my friend is one of the comms specialist on the space elevator. They told me things. He acts… weird. He doesn’t sleep, and neglects the medical and psychological exams. I’m not sure he’s here, if you know what I mean."
    “Where is he, then?” Adrian’s musical notes come out discordant.
    “Wherever his human companion is stuck. If the alien dies, Rocky might never come down from the stars.”

    Or; twenty-three friends leave for the most dangerous mission known to Erid, two strangers return.

    Summary

    We had gone zero-G about a day ago, and the tears in my eyes couldn’t fall. I shook my head to rid myself of them, watching as the liquid reflected the royal blues.

    Or: Grace and Rocky finally make it to Erid. This does not mean Grace's problems magically vanish.

    Grace has told Rocky that there is a complete imprint of the human’s internet available on the Hail Mary. He had assumed it was captured before he left Earth but was wrong; the capture was made on the very last day as the crew transferred from the ISS to the Hail Mary. They wanted them to have the last possible version, the most up-to-date information. It has never occurred to Grace that this would be here.

    Summary

    Rocky and Adrian planned to see Ryland Grace safely settled on Earth and then go home. Instead, they’re staying to build a sixteen‑node interstellar communications relay and an ocean‑floor dome so Eridians can live on Earth.

    Rocky loves the new challenges. Adrian sees “one more project” turning into “never going home,” while their offspring Kiri, hatched in space and growing up on Earth, already sounds more human than Eridian.

    Meanwhile, Grace is deeply involved at the International Astrophage Coalition headquarters in Geneva, married, with a baby on the way. Everything’s perfect—except his insane schedule, which is going to give him a heart attack if he doesn’t slow down.

    Summary

    “Why Grace sad, question?”
    Grace stiffens slightly, leaning into his legs pulled tight against his chest. The synthetically perfect ocean water comes up to nip at his rubber-toed Converse, leaving slight droplets on the material. Grace wipes away organic saltwater from his face with his sleeve. He shakes his head. “It’s kinda hard to explain, Rock.”

    or

    Even after a few years, Grace is still having a bit of trouble acclimating to his new home on Erid.

    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.

    The capsule touches down on Erid about a decade and a half after I do.

    There's a message inside translated into fourteen different languages. Y'know, just in case I've taught myself - and then the Eridians - Afrikaans.

    Summary

    On the trip back to Erid Rocky is excited to spend quality time with their favorite human, but Grace is acting…strangely. They are unbearably quiet. The longer it goes on the more certain Rocky is that there is something very wrong.


    “I trust you with my sad experiences. I tell you about crew deaths and how it make me feel. Rocky trust Grace. Now Grace trust Rocky.”

    “What— what if I wasn’t a good person like you? What if I was actually a coward and a liar? Would you still trust me?”

    Summary

    // NOW COMPLETE!

    Ryland Grace is supposed to help save humanity.
    Carl’s job is to make sure nothing compromises that mission.
    But somewhere between hardware store shenanigans and long hours in the lab, duty gives way to trust, trust gives way to want, and both men are left facing the truth of what’s been building between them.

    // Note about the rating:
    This fic contains explicit sex scenes, but they’re not the main focus. If you’re not into reading smut, you still can absolutely enjoy this story and simply skip those parts. Sexual content appears only toward the end of chapters 3, 4, and 5. You can safely read up to that point in each chapter and then jump to the beginning of the next chapter.

    This also works the other way around — if you’re here for just the smut and don't care much about the emotional buildup or aftermath, you can go straight to chapters 3, 4, and 5 (and scroll to the bottom).

    I think the fic works best as a whole, but I understand everyone has different preferences :)

    Summary

    "I had a dog as a kid," Grace had told them once. "Her name was Maisy. Big yellow labrador. We got her when I was around five—" (Rocky had never quite gotten used to human aging) "—and I loved her to bits. She was my best friend all through middle and high school.")

    Years ago, Ryland Grace lost a best friend. Years later, Rocky will too.
