    Summary

    When Rocky returns to planet Erid after 60 odd years, Adrian expects a beautiful reunion with their long lost partner and a happily ever after under a brightening star. Instead, they get an extremely codependent and traumatized mate, and a malnourished, creepy, leaky space blob, who are attached at the hip. Could Adrian learn to love this alien creature, or will it tear their marriage apart?

    Summary

    “Pilot Detected,” Mary says.

    “Thank you, Mary,” he responds automatically.

    Exciting news: they’re almost at Erid! Hours away, actually! He’s vibrating with excitement, as much as you can with your ribs sticking out through your skin. But screw that noise! The journey is almost over! Beginning of an end, end of a beginning, baby! His entire journey has culminated into this one event: making contact with an alien species. Whether that was through astrophage, taumeoba, or Eridians. Not even being sick and hungry could ruin this. He doesn’t know if the nausea is from the nerves or not.

    Or: after saving two stars and returning to Erid, Grace and Rocky must face their most daunting challenge yet: having uncomfortable conversations.

    Summary

    The engineer takes my hand. His skin runs hot. Very hot. He doesn't let go at what I would gauge as a socially-acceptable handshake time interval. Are we just holding hands in the middle of the lab-workshop space? Guess we are.

    "I'm Rocky," he finally introduces himself. He has a hint of an accent, something lilting, melodic. I can't really place it.

    "Rocky," I repeat, slowly. "Like the movies?"

    "No," Rocky deadpans, giving me a look like I'm stupid. "Like the rocks."

    Summary

    As he stared down into the lumpy grey goop that was his evening rations, he contemplated whether it was really worth it.

    They’d come a very long way just for Grace to give up and die at the last hurdle, both physically and emotionally. The Tau Ceti system was a long, long way away now, and Grace had faced not one but two highly emotional suicide missions. Three, if you counted the time before he was given a military grade roofie and hucked into space without his memories.

     

    Rocky and Grace make it back to Erid! Huzzah!
    Now they have to navigate all of... that.

    Summary

    “Who complained about you eating, question?” Someone must’ve said something. He’s had so many visitors in the last couple of days. Who was it? Grace has never questioned this part of himself. Grace huffs at me.

    “No one! I’m just trying to be polite! Eridians have special soundproof eating rooms, shouldn’t I?”

    “You are not Eridian!”

    He doesn’t need to meet our standards; he’s his own species! Some things he might need to change in his daily life to adapt to Erid life, but his food habits don’t need to be one of them. My words don’t comfort Grace like I thought they would. Grace shrinks into himself, and I wish I were on his side to hug him.

    or the Entities provide Grace with a culture teacher to prepare for life on Erid and he gets his first taste of Eridian inhospitality.
