That Zeus would come swooping down from Olympus and take him home.

Summary
The human light sense is unlike anything that exists on Erid.
Rocky learns, through his friend Grace, what it can be useful for. He also learns that humans are fucking weird, but he’d figured that one out already.

Bookmarker's Notes
He wants to know everything about Grace, his resting heart rate, his thoughts and feelings and, apparently, his favourite colour, even though he isn’t even really sure what that means. Partially because Grace is an alien, and everything about him is interesting, but mostly because he’s Grace.

Anatomy of a Whale Fall by Pokimoko

Summary
“When dead whales sink down to the sea floor, they become a whole”—Grace waves his hands in a big circle and draws out the word to emphasise his point—“ecosystem for a tonne of bottom dwelling creatures down there.
“To them, it’s the equivalent of an oasis falling from the sky and landing in the middle of a desert. It can feed them for decades, and gosh, the microbes that can be found there. I would love to study a whale fall...if they weren't at the bottom of the ocean. Eugh.” He shudders dramatically. “If I never have to go in a submarine, I will die happy.”
Eva wonders if the whale died happy. Or, at least, happy to know its death would bring life to so many. Surely that was a comfort when faced with the end.

(or: Eva drifts along a sea of memories, in which whales swim ever underneath)

Bookmarker's Notes
Eva shakes her head. “Life is not always nice.”
“But it can be,” Grace says. He gestures to the screen, to the movie that is actually playing and not the one that is inside her head. The whales are alive, the storms are fading, the Earth is saved, and the heroes forgiven for their past crimes. The happiest of endings. “Sometimes, in the end, things really do work out.”
“Not in my experience,” she says.
She turns and—
Grace's statue looks just like him, and yet nothing like him at all.

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.

Summary
“I'm an apex predator too, remember,” I say, and Rocky and Adrian completely stop their conversation and twist their carapaces around to me.
On Earth, Rocky says, and there’s an undertone of amusement to his voice. Not on Erid.
