    Summary

    The lives of the crew of the Long Shot are statistically ridiculous. They've travelled over sixteen light-years to answer a three-decade-old distress call from a dying planet. They expected to find any number of things upon arrival at 40 Eridani, but being greeted by a human voice certainly wasn't on the list.

    Dr Ryland Grace says they're welcome. He says the problem has already been solved, and everything's fine, and so, in fact, is Earth. But all they know about Ryland Grace is that he left on a suicide mission ten years before they launched. They're not so sure they should be taking a dead man at face value.

    OR: The Eridians have learned to safely host a human, despite every barrier of language and instinct. Now they just need to do it with seven more. At least, this time, they have Grace's help, right?

    (This fic is part of a series but will stand alone.)

    Summary

    Aizawa and Tsukauchi were close enough that words weren’t always necessary.

    They had a tell. Simple. Small. Invisible unless one knew where to look.

    The toe of Tsukauchi’s polished boot.

    Right meant truth.

    Left meant lie.

    The dead centre meant that murky middle ground in between.

    Aizawa watched for it now.

    “What is your quirk?” Tsukauchi asked.

    Itadori’s gaze levelled with his.

    “Don’t have one.”

    Tsukauchi inched his foot to the right.

    True.

    Aizawa Shota stumbles across a young man with too many scars and far too many quirks to be natural.

    He calls himself Itadori Yuuji.

    Aizawa Shota has seen him in action. Yet, Itadori still believes, truly, and completely, that he is quirkless.

    So, with Tsukauchi at his side, he begins to pull at the loose threads, to unravel the web of Itadori’s lies.

    But truth, he would come to learn, was not always a kindness.

    Ignorance is bliss, after all.

     

    Or, the one where I mash Modulo Itadori into the end of MHA and wait to see what happens.

    Summary

    After deciding to turn back to find Rocky again, Grace realizes that not everyone who sent a mission to Tau Ceti was as lucky as them. And he doesn’t mean just the crew of the Hail Mary and Blip-A.

    There's another ship. And it's not moving.

    Summary

    The man had a thick crop of greying black hair, and his arms were covered in scars, along with a few blotches of turquoise and green, like watercolour tattoos. The scars differed in texture – some were deeply carved creases in the skin, others were raised like keloids, all in deliberate patterns and shapes.
    I recognised those patterns, those shapes. The family crest – one half on each forearm. The school and group markings. His rank. His mate-circles. His rulers and measuring implements, all carved into his body, all instantly recognisable.

    Oh god.

    *

    A freak accident puts Rocky, temporarily, into a human body. Whilst he and Grace wait for the reversal, they discover a lot about each other, and the nature of their relationship. Eventual smut, happy ending to come.

    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

    Three years after the probes carrying Taumoeba and Dr. Ryland Grace's final message arrive on Earth, humanity launches an interstellar spaceship with a brand new mission. Thirty-six crew members (including two graduates of a certain San Franciscan junior high school) travel to the star 40-Eridani to make friendly contact with the Eridians and bring them the alien life form from Tau Ceti-E that can save their star if Dr. Grace's sacrifice failed.

    Grace, now fifty-seven years old, is just trying to balance his life as a teacher while no longer being the only human on the planet anymore. It's a big adjustment, but Rocky and the Terra's Grace crew are going to make sure he's well taken care of.

    Summary

    Several years after choosing to live the rest of his life out with Rocky and Adrian, Ryland Grace's body is quietly failing under the brutal 2.12G gravity of Erid. Desperate to bridge the physical divide before Grace's time runs out, Rocky and Adrian misinterpret an old digital file of Avatar as a historical fact and secretly engineer life-like flesh and blood human "vessels" for themselves, but the sensory overload of piloting a human body changes everything Rocky understands about humans.

    And how he sees Grace.

    Summary

    Rocky wakes up different.

    The floor is cold. Strange. He is not supposed to be on the floor. It forcefully pushes against his body, and Rocky hypothesizes he's no longer on his bed frame. He is rather sure. He shifts with a mind still fuzzy, something he never thought was possible. It unexpectedly hurts. He feels larger, taller, elongated.

    Cue the horrors of being human.

    Summary

    The Hail Mary has been housing three for some time. The dinner situation is not going very well.

    Rocky can get along fine on Eridian food, and due to his mutations, Simon can too.

    It's Grace's lack of Earth rations that are the problem.

    Summary

    A little over thirteen years after the Hail Mary launch, Eva Stratt is released from prison to assist the world’s bickering space agencies after a junior NASA technician spots an unidentified object near the orbit of Neptune. It appears to be on a direct collision course with Earth, and is moving so quickly it does not appear to be affected by any local gravitational forces, not even that of Sol. Oh, and one more thing—it seems to be slowing down.

    OR

    Captain Dr. Ryland Grace pilots the Hail Mary home long before (and long, long after) its mission is supposed to be complete. In their desperate venture beyond their solar system, humanity may have just accidentally unlocked a new chapter in interstellar physics.

    Summary

    'What is Grace doing, question?'
    It all started with that question. Grace going back for Rocky was never going to be something he regretted. Ever.
    But then — on the way to Erid, problems that had been the last thing on his mind while on the journey to save his friend arose. Like privacy.

    Grace survives the journey to Erid, and maybe finds a new home there. Rocky and Adrian have a lot of love to give, and they're very creative. But maybe they'd like others to see just how wonderful their little humans is? How well he sings? Eridians are a very curious species, after all.

    Or the fic in which Grace finds out eridians are nothing like humans (duh). They are highly competitive, love playing with others and don't mind sharing. Privacy doesn't really exist on Erid other than for eating. He finds out just how much they are willing to share.

    Summary

    Touch-starved, sexually frustrated Ryland Grace gets greeted by his suddenly very human-looking alien friend.

    Now, he must confront his deeply buried buried thoughts from before regarding how his rock friend is the only one who can get his dick up.

    Or

    Ryland Grace makes slight peace with his sexual attraction to Rocky (not the very human, very real, romantic attraction, though).

    Or

    The author doesn't know what they're doing they just want to see them have sex (with feelings).

    Summary

    There is nothing.
    Ryland Grace knows this now. He was never religious, never believed in anything when he was alive. There’s a lot of different beliefs, back on Earth, of what lies beyond death. He didn’t believe in any of that, and he had thought that was fine. Now is different. Now he is, as far as he can tell, dead. Now is the first hand proof of what lies beyond. Now is…
    Nothing.
    A very dark, vast, infinite expanse of nothing.

    There is nothing for what could either be forever,

    or for no time at all.

    He’ll never get to see Erid.

    He’ll never get to see Adrian, who Rocky had told him so much about.

    He’ll never get to see if the taumoeba works, if either Erid or Earth are able to free their starts from the astrophage infection.

    He’ll never get to see Rocky again.



    And then there is something.


    Ryland Grace is given a second chance at life, but every waking moment is followed by the knowledge of what awaits him should he die, of what awaits everyone. He learns that some people should go meet that Nothing sooner, rather than later.

    Summary

    Percy Jackson was done being a pawn for the Gods, punished for simply existing, even after everything he'd done to protect Olympus. With the help of a sympathetic God, Percy Jackson sheds his old life for a new one. It was hard, adjusting to a mortal life and going back to mortal schools, but he pushed on. He struggled, he persevered, and his life took a turn he hadn't expected but, honestly, wasn't going to complain about (too much) after his temper cost him. He'd adapt, and he'd do the best he could.

    Ryland Grace just wanted a normal life, even if it was hard fitting in. His Demigod life was behind him, but always hanging above his head. It was hard to relate to others or make friends, but who needed friends when he had his kids? Being a school teacher was, honestly, the most rewarding thing. Even if they liked pushing his buttons at times. Grace would do anything to be the teacher for them that he never had, someone who'd fight for them, believe in them, and help them be their best selves.

    So, when he wakes up in space, with no memory of how he got there, Ryland Grace thinks it's to save his kids. Percy Jackson thinks the Gods decided to punish him again. Both agree that letting Earth die isn't an option.
