    Summary

    Disaster strikes the Hail Mary on its way back to Earth. The taumoeba escape their breeding tanks, and make it to the fuel lines. Stranded in space just outside the Tau Ceti system, Dr Ryland Grace can't do anything. He can't go save Rocky, he can't go save Earth. Exhausted, out of options, and distraught, he fills the ship with nitrogen, and takes his final breath.
    Next thing he knows, his eyes flutter open in his San Francisco apartment. It's a year before ArcLight touches down on Earth, but he remembers the Petrova Task Force.
    He's not the only one.

    OR: Time-Travel Fix-It AU but it's not just Grace who came back in time.

    Summary

    Bad dreams suck. Grace wakes up from a nightmare of being on the Hail Mary, which is utterly impossible, but his throat hurts like he really did have a tube pulled out of it.

    Turns out, he wasn't the only one to have that dream. Which was even more impossible than him actually being on a ship that's not even fully built.

    aka A movie react fic where everyone sees the film in dreams.

    Summary

    I lived with this hunger long before the Hail Mary. This is nothing new. I’m fine.

    Right up until Rocky asks another question.

    “When last time you touch other human person skin, question?”

    Oh. Oh no. “When I… a few days after I first woke up here.”

    Rocky starts to relax for a split second, but then tightens when something occurs to him.

    “Grace crewmates dead when you wake up. You said this, statement. You not even know your own name, remember nothing, see dead bodies, confirm?”

    I nod, because if I open my mouth I will gag.

    “When last time Grace touch ALIVE human person, question.”

    I swallow thickly. I don’t answer aloud because I know Rocky can hear the hitch in my breath. My stomach churns with fresh bile. He senses my vital signs tick over into stress patterns and goes very, very still again.

    “Grace. When last time, question.”

    I clench my jaw so hard my temples ache, and beg him with my eyes to just stop.

    “Grace. Please say not when… when Evil Stratt humans put you to sleep.”

    I can taste grass.

    AKA: Grace starves for more than just food on the journey to Erid.

    Summary

    Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a mission he doesn't remember volunteering for. Alone on a ship scaled far too large for a borrower, he has to try to figure out why he's so far from home, and what he's supposed to do. On top of that, he needs to figure out why this mission is so prepared to have a borrower on the crew--standing at only six inches tall, it's easy to think none of this was meant for him. And yet, everywhere he looks he finds evidence that whoever built this ship built it with both humans and borrowers in mind.

    An impossible task looms over him. A scientific mystery has somehow sent him hurtling through space, impossibly far from any other human or borrower, and it's on him to surpass an extinction-level threat that doesn't care how big someone is. It will end the world all the same if he doesn't do something about it.

    But, despite what he thinks, he's not alone.

    Summary

    “But you said you didn’t have a word for – for forcing someone into reproduction?”

    No. Is different, but equivalent violation. Means, to force to sleep.

    Or, Dr. Ryland Grace has yet to confront the choices taken from him. Eridian norms, ironically enough, force the issue.

    Summary

    When Rocky left, it had felt like a betrayal. Adrian remembers the blood-deep sorrow of those early days preceding the launch, the shakiness in their claws as they tried to throw themselves in their work. But Erid fell apart day by day, succumbing to cooling climates and disease. With a gaping hole in Adrian’s hearts, they changed—resigned themself to fix the planet their mate had left to save.

    I∀+λI years later, Rocky is back with the Solution. Quieter, sadder, and stranger—dragging in a dying alien from the stars and begging Erid to save it.

    or,

    What kind of love is strong enough to endure change?

    Summary

    Grace and Rocky set sail for Erid and unpack all their emotional baggage along the way.

    When you're stuck in a tin can for almost four years, it's rarely smooth sailing. But, hey! At least your best friend is there to call you an idiot, and you're almost certainly going to die when you reach your destination!

    Summary

    “Good morning Grace. Sleep well, question?”

    “No,” he says, which is how he usually answers that question these days. “New symptom, maybe. I might be forgetting stuff.”

    Rocky trills in concern. “Yes, you said that yesterday.”

    (Malnutrition has a lot of symptoms. One of them is memory loss. Grace is not doing great.)

    Summary

    Sometimes, when Rocky is sleeping, Grace can’t help but wonder what would have happened if Rocky hadn’t been here. It’s not a fun reality to ponder. While part of him gives a weak assurance that he would have figured something out, he knows that isn’t true. Because Rocky is his reason to figure something out.

    Then his mind flips the script. What if Grace had never shown up? Rocky would have been out here, alone. A single Eridian on a big ship, with no one to watch him sleep.

    And just when he’s about to sooth his mind with the fact that neither of those things came to pass, a new scenario sprouts unbidden from his mind. What if someone else arrives after Rocky and him leave?

    What if they get here, and they’re all alone.

    It is the correct choice. The most benefit for the least cost. Elegance-In-Motion will simply wake up on Erid, belly full of proper nutrients, body healed from adventures in space. 

    The problem is that they both really, really, really don't want to.

    Summary

    Why the floor? 

    Because stubborn as he is, the increasing risk of falling out of bed and doing serious damage to himself was greater than his pride. He's curled up next to one of the panels of Rocky's habitat, and Rocky sits on just the other side of the xenonite. Rocky rarely leaves his side now. It must be very boring for him, watching Grace just lie here.

    Lying down hurts, but it's the only thing he can do. 

    OR

    Grace and Rocky sometime in the last few months of the journey to Erid.
