Summary
Four years is a long time to spend living in three small, cluttered rooms with one other person, but Grace was determined to keep busy to keep his sanity.
Rocky was overjoyed to arrive home with the cure for Astrophage, and Grace was happy for anything that broke the monotony of their long road trip and the possibility of getting more than his half of 125 cubic meters to live in. And Erid had quite the celebration when Rocky's mission returned with the cure.

I am healthy, I am whole, but I have poor impulse control by sburbanite

Summary
I flex my gloved fingers.
“Just how much power are you giving me, exactly?”
“All of it. Everything.”
“Wow, that's. Wow. Are you sure?”
Rocky makes a keening, high pitched vocalisation that I can feel in my chest.
“I love you. It's the entire point.”
I bury my blazing face in my hands.
“Rocky, you can't just say things like that.”
“I can and I will. Where does the medical robot keep the lubricant?”

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
"Speaking from a selfish perspective, I hope you stay. But, we also have another offer."
Ryland looks down at his best friend, eyebrow raised. Curiosity pushes the burgeoning tightness enough for him to ignore. "Yeah? What's that, Rock?"
"We can build onto the Hail Mary— a spaceship large enough to carry you, me, and other scientists. We go to Earth with you," Rocky trills. Ryland can't believe his ears. Rocky's carapace tilts in the way that means he's smiling. "We live on Earth, learn from the humans, and return in our own time."

Summary
Grace is having a very difficult time on the Journey to Erid. When Rocky finds out exactly how bad of a time Grace is having, he will do everything in his power to help.
“Grace try treatment. Try try try. Please.”
How can someone without any eyes at all still give such strong puppy dog eyes? I just want to stop hurting my best friend. “Sure Rock.”
“Rocky Grace try treatment. If treatment not work, then.” Rocky shudders one more time. “Then Grace do dangerous sleep.”

Summary
What the title says. About 11 years ago (from my perspective; relativity is weird) I was launched into space onboard the Hail Mary to figure out a solution to the Astrophage problem. Now I live on an alien planet I call Erid, in the 40-Eridani system. Yes, I’m actually Ryland Grace. Ask me anything.
Also, can someone please tell me if Eva Stratt is alive? And ideally send me a video of you punching her in the face? Guess that’s a long shot, but it can’t hurt to ask.
---
Grace and Rocky figure out how to connect to Earth's internet from Erid. They may not have thought this through.

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
It's been years since Doctor Ryland Grace saved Erid and Earth. He is content with his life, happy just to teach the next generation of Eridians and have the occasional game night with Rocky and Adrian in his dome. For the most part, nothing changes.
And that's the problem. Shouldn't Grace, y'know...age? When Rocky indicates that he should be sixty human years old by now, Grace can't reconcile the young face in the mirror with the time that his friend has religiously kept.
Things get more complicated when another undoubtedly human ship shows up at the edge of the 40 Eridani system. Suddenly Grace is playing ambassador between the two species, and tensions are rising between them. Will this be a successful second contact, or is the peaceful life Grace just wants to live too much to ask for?

Up is down and down is up and Ryland Grace is not supposed to be here. Something has been wrong since the beginning. Something has been wrong since before the beginning.
(Or: Grace wakes up on the Hail Mary with dirt underneath his fingernails. What happens next may or may not be a haunting, depending on perspective.)

Summary
I’ll figure something out. Something else. I have the best lab in the world (or, well, the best lab ever made on Earth), I have all the reference materials a guy could want, I am smart and I have a very smart friend who is very dedicated to keeping me alive. I’ll be alright. I’ll find a way. I’ll—
“If you awake,” Rocky says suddenly, startling me again. “You say ‘if you awake’. There is another option, question?”
…Have I mentioned that he is very smart?
Sometimes it’s not a good thing!
Or: going into a coma on the way to Erid might be Grace's best shot at survival. No one on the ship likes the idea.

Summary
On the journey to Erid, Grace and Rocky discuss their respective alien biologies and Rocky learns that a lot of humans don't make it to the average 80 year life expectancy.
Years later, it looks like Rocky is going to learn that lesson again in a more personal way, but not if he has anything to say about it.
Feat: Grace being susceptible to medical misconceptions aka being a little dumb about human medical science (he’s not that kind of doctor, okay?), old man Grace ignoring pain and injury because he’s used to it, worried Rocky, and a peek at daily life on Erid

Summary
It wasn’t anything that Grace had never done before. Yet this time, Rocky felt all five of his hearts racing at its smile. Grace’s giggle was so similar to an Eridian’s. Rocky wanted to make it laugh again, to be the reason for its joy.
Such thoughts had barely begun when there was suddenly a strange physical feeling inside Rocky. It felt like something was moving, a strange buzz reverberating throughout his body. It was deeply uncomfortable and continued to increase in intensity until Rocky suddenly felt like he had to open his ventral seal right now and get something out out out. It was all so quick that Rocky could barely think about how absolutely wrong it felt.

Summary
It’s gonna be a long trip.
When I finally found Rocky, stranded in the middle of nowhere, I thought I was going to die. I thought I was going to slowly starve to death. But when I banged on the Blip-A’s hull and suddenly heard Rocky's voice through the radio, it was the best moment of my life.
But, you know…. I am still, actually, going to starve to death. I hate it when reality sets in.
On the long trip to Erid, Rocky and Grace discover music together. But for Grace, the road gets harder and harder.

Summary
“Oh my god, Rocky.” I want to cover my face with my hands, but I’m not about to let go of him. “You’re insatiable.”
“I’m insatiable?” He looms a little closer over my face, forcibly bringing himself back into my field of vision. The bright holodeck lights catch in the sweaty sheen of my skin. “I don’t feel arousal. I am in it for the love of the game.”
Or: Look, if the Eridian scientists want you to test out a technology that lets you and your bestie kinda sorta touch each other for real, are you even a proper scientist if you don't consider how it could be used for sex?

Summary
“Are you almost finished, question?” Rocky asks, as if he isn’t asking something deeply mortifying.
Grace lets his head fall back against the wall and huffs out something between a laugh and a sigh. “No,” he says. “It’s not—um. It’s not working.”
“Your penis is broken, question?”
“No!” Grace yelps.
“Tell me what is broken,” Rocky says. “I can fix it.”
OR: grace has desires. rocky can help.

Summary
“Grace how old, question?”
Grace blinks, lifting his head up from the cool metal of the lab table where he’s been nursing a headache for the last hour. Caffeine withdrawal, he thinks, having finally run out of coffee four months into their four year journey to Erid.
“Thirty—uh…” His mind blanks for a second, forgetting to calculate the four years he spent in a coma, and the still slightly patchy memories that have come back from his life. “Thirty-six, I think? Give or take a year or two.”
Or: Rocky finds out how long humans live and crashes out.
