Summary
“Careful, with that kind of language you’re gonna start a space war.”
“I am being kind.” Rocky deadpans, and now I’m really grinning. I’m sure it’s the most shit eating grin I’ve worn in the past few weeks, and my chest feels a little lighter.
“Pfff, you know humans would beat you in a space war anyway.”
“Yes. You would drown us.”
I can’t hold back the laughter that shakes my belly as Rocky sits there with his arms crossed—another habit he’s picked up from me—pretending not to be amused.
The laughter feels warm, it feels earned. Maybe everything will work out. Maybe it was just one bad dream. Maybe I’m not a coward. Maybe it will all be alright.Bang!
The laughter in my throat catches. The lights flicker. An alarm blares from the cockpit.
Ah. Jinxed it.
****
Grace never really had time to process a lot of the memories that returned in the midst of their world-saving mission. Now, with him and Rocky on the long haul back to Erid together, problems are making themselves known.
He's not a coward, and he'll do anything to prove it.

Returned in Kind by IvyLee

Summary
Rocky took ‘Grace’ – a word in a language he can’t speak, with a meaning that doesn’t directly translate – and gave his human friend a name, one with weight and significance, which conveyed exactly who Grace was to the people of Erid. Then, to keep things professional, he did it a second time.
Grace isn’t even mad about it any more. He just wishes he hadn’t waited so long to return the favour.
(Set after 'False Friends'. Can stand alone. Context: Grace has landed on Erid and recovered from most of his hang-ups around that. Oh, and the malnutrition.)

Summary
“Oh, it’s a way for humans to tell each other they’re taken. To remember,” I say, popping a bunch more gummy bears into my mouth. Rocky makes a disgusted sound and I smile as I chew. “It’s just a nice way of showing they have someone they committed to.”
Rocky freezes. I don’t notice for a good few seconds, not until I get the pressing sensation that he’s staring at me, his lack of eyes irrelevant.
I turn to face him. He’s jittering, something like shaking from excitement or anger, I’m not sure.
“Rocky?” I ask.
“Grace have ring,” he points, and oh no. “Grace have mate? Why Grace no say!?”
I hold up my hands before he can get too excited, though I can already hear a familiar sound, a repeating joyful and confused song start to escape from him.
“No, no, no!” he freezes again. Deflates, a little. I sigh and run a hand down my face. “It’s… complicated.”
