Summary
"I'm trying to be culturally sensitive, so don't take this the wrong way," Grace says. "Is it just me or...is Erid fascist?"
Finally, words have been put to my persistent fear and I can no longer deny what I have been thinking for the last several days. "Yeah. Erid's fascist."
Rocky and Grace return to Erid to find the planet struggling under the climatic impacts of astrophage. Rocky goes down to Erid alone with the singular goal of creating food for Grace, who is dying of malnutrition. However, Rocky finds that Erid isn't the same as he left it; the new government is reconfiguring life around an ethos that is focused on strengthening Erid, limiting knowledge-creation, and being hostile to outsiders--like Grace. Now Rocky must find a way to not only save Grace from starvation on his own, but do so before the fascist hive mind can realize what's going on, as its eye slowly trains on eradicating the alien lifeform.

Summary
The egg is the same bright copper color as the rest of Rocky’s body, but smooth where his carapace is bumpy and brittle, the first Eridian-made object I've ever seen with curved edges rather than flat panels and sharp corners. It has a slight taper as well, narrowing upwards from its widest point.
Rocky’s words echo in the back of my mind: “Grace would be perfect at take many ♪♪♫.”
I jam the dissection probe through the shell.

Summary
Grace. A short, grating sound. A word, not a name. A word that used to be associated with [Adrian]. Potential suitors had called their measured bearing and smooth songs graceful. Visitors to [Adrian] and [Rocky]'s home called [Adrian] a gracious host. Everybody said that [Adrian] handled their mate disappearing into space for [fifty-four years] with grace.
Now, their mate has returned with Grace.Bookmarked by howling_wizard

Summary
After the Taumoeba leak, after I decided to die after all and turned my ship around to save Rocky, after Rocky's frantic calculations about food supplies, Taumoeba multiplication rates, and human caloric intake needs, after we realized that with some rationing and luck I would make it, but that we were headed toward the unknown territory of trying to rapid-prototype me a life support system and synthetic food supply on an inhospitable planet: after all of that, after everything, I shouldn't have been surprised that it only took a few months on board the Hail Mary for things to get weird.

“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
Sometimes, when you're moving through space with very little to do and a lot of time to do it in, your alien best friend and roommate will ask you to stick your fingers in your mouth, and sometimes you've just got to say yes. Ignoring what they say about curiosity and cats.

Summary
Grace reaches out and puts his palm flat against Rocky’s ball, feels the heat that comes up from glass-like wall. His lip quivers, breath unsteady as he sighs out and admits, “I wish I could touch you.”
Loved to the point of invention; Rocky makes his xenonite suit to help Grace.

Summary
"You have no idea what you're asking for," Rocky snarls as he watches Grace slowly start to crawl back. There's a small pool of liquid forming beneath him and Rocky wants to eat him alive.
"Yes, I do," Grace whines breathlessly. "Please, Rocky. Please, alpha."
Rocky inhales sharply.
"Run," he says.
"W... What?"
"I said run," Rocky growls.
Grace squeals and takes off.
Rocky gives chase.
***
Grace is an excellent scientist, no matter what his colleagues back on Erid might have said once.
As such, he knows that with the right methods and experimentation, he can convince Rocky that they belong together.
He's desperate for it.

Summary
You are profoundly alone. You have been for a while. Suddenly, you aren't anymore, and you are struggling to be normal about it. Pooling strengths and weaknesses with the strange creature on its explosive-atmosphere ship might just be the only way to save both of your stars, but it might also lead to more than just strictly scientific discoveries, and neither of you are sure how to feel about that.

Summary
If Rocky propositions him during the workday, he makes no such attempt at a performance—or, as Rocky likes to call it, courtship.
After they determine this is indeed the word Rocky’s using, Grace snorts. “No. Courtship is, like, old-fashioned dating. Very formal old-fashioned dating.”
“No, no.” Rocky gestures to what he gave Grace. “Is courtship. Trust.”
“I don’t know what this is, but it’s not courtship!” Grace holds up the honest-to-God padded handcuffs Rocky made for him. They jingle a little. “Explain how this is old-fashioned to you. Quickly.”

Summary
“Don’t have to face any specific direction to talk to you, Grace,” Rocky says. “Am radially symmetrical. Hearing organs on whole body. Grace biologist, should know this.”
I suddenly regret teaching him literally anything about biology. Some things more than others.
“Figure of speech,” I say. That’s so not the point. “Listen, is this about the other day? Because we can pretend it never happened, if it’s making you uncomfortable.”
Rocky skids to a stop. He slowly backs up a few paces, and now I can tell he is actually focusing on me, even though it doesn’t really matter which facet of his body is pointed in my direction, due to the aforementioned radial symmetry.
“Not uncomfortable,” Rocky says. “Interesting display of human culture and biology. Grace very kind to share with me."

Throw The Dog A Bone (I'm Fed and I'm Happy) by gojibstar

30 Apr 2026
Tags
Summary
She reaches down and tangles her fingers into his hair and firmly, but not painfully, tugs. Grace huffs something out, shallow in his throat, a bit like a whine, and instinctively shivers.The pressure toes the thin line between a grounding weight and a sharp point of pain and discomfort. It is, he realizes, the first time Stratt has touched him in a while… and so firm, is the thing; it is not a passing nudge or pull in any direction, but heavy and undeniable.
Without the energy for arrogance, or to make some corny half-baked joke, he doesn’t fight her. He lets his forehead sink until it rests against the dark fabric of her trousers, just above her knee. The world stops spinning quite so fast when he has something solid to lean against.
“If you hyperventilate, you’re useless to me. And if you’re useless to me, you’re useless to them."
—
Or: Post-nut clarity Grace has a flashback of him and Stratt, and he and Rocky attempt to discuss whatever the hell they are now.

Summary
The next thing he’s aware of is Rocky’s voice, carefully intent. This means he’s discovered something new and is absolutely not going to let it go.
“Grace is ♪♫♪♫, question?”
“Huh?”
“Need word,” Rocky trills, “Domestic companion organisms. Lives in habitat of more capable species. Does not build structures. Does not contribute to heavy engineering. These common, on Erid, in units, for morale. They make noise and trip over own appendages. Cute and stupid
That is a lot of words, and Grace is pointedly half-asleep. They trickle over him in lazy streams of thought as he sips his coffee, through his early, “it-is-maybe-morning” fog…
—And then he nearly chokes on his coffee, cheeks flushed bright, bright red.
“Are you calling me your pet?”
—
Or: Grace gets a boner, and all roads lead to Pet Play

Summary
“Grace lie,” Rocky says impatiently. “Stop wasting time. Tell what is wrong, now.”
Well, I’m not doing that. Even if I wanted to, I don’t know how I'd even begin explaining to Rocky that the only thing wrong with me is the fact that I want him to pin me down with his voice, shake out half a dozen orgasms, and then knock me out for good measure.
So we're going with plan B: time to fool the walking lie detector.

Summary
Relatively speaking, Grace and Rocky are both somewhat unusual. It brings them closer together.
Or: FtM Ryland Grace explains social constructivism to his genderless alien buddy (badly), Rocky decides he wants to be less genderless actually, and Grace and Rocky love each other in every universe.

pilot study (knowledge gaps) by deervsheadlights

Summary
To Grace's knowledge (i.e. the Hail Mary's database, i.e. all of human knowledge), there have never been any studies done to confirm whether ambrein (a derivative of sperm whale digestive secretions!) actually functions as an aphrodisiac in humans or not.
Well, 15.8 light years from Earth, he's about to find out. Because the cytoplasm of Taumoeba consists in large parts of a triterpene alcohol that is startlingly similar to ambrein — and baby, he's all out of coma slurry.
Or: The sex
pollenamoeba fic you (never) asked for.Rocky utters a wordless little trill, half concerned and half curious. Always curious, and why would this be an exception? If anything, this is me conducting a pilot study on the unusual effects of Taumoeba on the human body, and oh is he ever morbidly fascinated by the many things my gross, leaky body does.
