    Summary

    “Whoa, wait, back up.” Holland instantly sat up in his seat, grabbing hold of the arm so he could twist round to face Holly. “Klein? As in Janet Klein? Did you fucking punch Janet?!”

    “Mr. March!” Principal Harrison admonished, “Language!”

    Holland gave him an apologetic wince before he looked back at Holly.

    “Holly,” he said, gentler, “Look at me.” He waited until Holly complied with his request. “Honey, did you punch Janet in the face?”

    ——OR——

    Janet runs her mouth, and Holly finds that sometimes, a little violence is very helpful, actually.

    Summary

    "Why fox do that, question? Why let little prince tame fox when fox know little prince leave, question? Fox hurt fox self!” I said glumly. “I no understand.”

    There was a gentleness I hadn't heard before in Grace’s voice when he replied, “I hope you never do, buddy.”

    I asked less questions after that.

    Grace’s footsteps will approach and the door will open soon. It will. Maybe if he just sits back and waits, Grace will get ready faster and not ignore him.

    OR

    Rocky goes to Grace’s house in the dome every week. Because maybe one day, the door will open again.

    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

    The people of Erid understand discoveries and science can take time, but there is only so much hope they can grasp onto after so many years. There are only so many prayers to be said and only so many scenarios that can be dreamed.

    They are expecting a dejected crew -if anyone returns at all, not an alien ship and an even more alien person, supported by the only Eridian survivor, an antisocial engineer who knows nothing but facts and how to make anything he wants tick.

    Summary

    Grace and Rocky know who they are. They know how they feel about each other. Too bad literally no one else gets it at all. Like, at all.

    OR

    “It’s platonic!” I blurted out, spreading my arms out wide to interrupt Adrian’s interrogation of my best friend. “We’re platonic songmates! Completely friendly, no romance, no mating. You have nothing to worry about! You’re still his mate!! Not me, never me!!”

    “Impossible,” they said.

    Summary

    Rocky hummed. "We have cultural practice. Is like mates without eggs. It is like… soul bond. Other person who is part of you."

    "I like that," Grace smiled. "Sounds a bit like platonic soulmates from Earth culture."

    "Yes yes yes," Rocky said. "Tried to find words on thinking machine. Those are right words, amaze amaze amaze!"

    On Erid, just because you have a mate, it doesn't mean you can't have a soul bond with someone else too.

    Summary

    “Is the alien…dangerous?” he asks slowly.

    “No! No, no he’s my friend, he’s - uh, well, the engineer of the Hail Mary,” says Grace. “Look, I’m just saying that - he’s gonna wake up soon, and we don’t need to tell him about how our first meeting went. We can gloss over the whole ‘tackle me to the ground and scare the daylights out of me’ thing. I won’t tell if you won’t.”

    Simon is 90% sure this is going to come back to bite him in the form of blackmail but he nods anyways, because it sure as hell sounds like Grace is implying Simon will be allowed to stay a while longer.

     

    Rocky sleeps through the absolute shitshow that is Simon and Grace’s first meeting. It’s probably for the best.
    Despite it all, it will be the start of beautiful friendship.

    Summary

    Of course. Eridian hearing is stupidly strong. Of course he would be able to hear my heartbeat.

    I laugh lightly, letting my shoulders relax slightly. "Oh. Yeah, that's nothing to worry about. That sound is coming from one of my internal organs; it's called a heartbeat."

    Rocky recoils slightly. "Strange. Strange strange strange. Eridians no hear other Eridians internal organs." He pauses for a moment, like he's considering something, and then moves forward again, closer to the walls of his xenonite hamster tube. "What purpose, question?"

    "Well, that's… a lot of information."

    =-=

    Grace and Rocky have a bit of a literal heart to heart.

    VIDEO LOG HAIL_MARY_DORMITORY 1400H TIME ELAPSED 00:00:00

    [VIDEO LOG BEGINS. RYLAND GRACE is looking at the camera. His hair is shoulder length and unwashed. He wears a black t-shirt with text that reads “YOU MATTER. YOU ENERGY.” There are dirty bandages all over his left arm and scarring on his neck. He is smiling.]

    Hello Earth! Or hello to whoever’s seeing this first. Don’t freak out! It’s me! Um… I am – I should probably do an official intro, right?
