    Summary

    The arrival at Erid is a momentous occasion. Rocky is excited and thrilled. Ryland is overwhelmed. But the reunion is happy, beautiful, amazing.

    Or that's what it should have been. Except Rocky gets hurt, Ryland is left to try and communicate with an alien planet, and everyone is scrambling to figure out how to do this. To Grace, this is incredible but also bittersweet - he got Rocky home safely with the taumoeba, now he just gets... to starve. To Erid, this is insane - how did Rocky show up in an alien spaceship with a child???

    ...

    Ryland Grace is stuck trying to speak Eridian, immediately makes himself sound like a child, and Rocky's world and family scramble to help this strange pebble. Misunderstandings galore, alongside hurt/comfort and angst and fluff.

    Summary

    By our stars and saving grace,
    save us from this deep dark place.

    When you've been in darkness for too long, you tend to grab onto the first light you see. Sometimes that light happens to be two aliens from a society 11.9 light-years away from your own, and they happen to be exactly what you were looking for all along.

    Summary

    ‘There appears to be a real risk,’ said Psychologist Prime, tapping a stylus against their tablet in an idle way that frayed at the edge of Adrian’s sore nerves, ‘That should Alien Human-from-Earth-of-Sol Asylum-seeker Savior-of-Erid Grace perish, then your mate Savior Rocky may experience a radical and potentially fatal decline in physiological and psychological health.’

    ‘...I see,’ said Adrian. With exceptional calmness.

    ---

    Let it not be said that Adrian was not devoted as well. They had stood firm, a loyal widower longer than others could fathom. Once you encountered a love like Rocky’s, there could be no replacement. Nothing could even compare.

    ‘Do you understand that?’ Adrian wanted to ask. So desperately, they wanted the alien’s reply. ‘Are you the only other creature in the universe who understands what it is like to be loved by someone so completely?’

    ---

    Adrian meets Grace several times, before Grace is healthy enough to meet them in return. Despite light-years of distance between their species, Adrian might have finally met the first other being who appreciates Rocky like they do; or so they hope.

    Summary

    ”Don’t do it! Don’t do it! You’re murdering me!!” Grace screamed, thrashing beneath the soldiers as they held him down.

    “Don’t do it! Don’t do it! Don’t-” Grace wheezed out, tears streaming down his face as the needle dug into his neck. He whined, a pure, animalistic sound of terror and hopelessness.

    Tears fell from vacant blue eyes as his eyes closed and the clawed hold he had on the grass loosened.

    The truck settled and stopped, but just as the guards reached out to grab Grace and lift him into the truck bed, Grace jerked with a choked cry.

    Carl straightened, tensing as the soldiers and doctor began to freak out, wondering how Grace was still conscious.

    Carl grimaced at the loud shriek that ripped out of Grace’s throat as his back arched.

    And then something ripped.

    Slowly, the light dimmed and Carl’s jaw dropped as he took in the four white wings extending from Grace’s back.

    Summary

    Adrian had been conflicted about the leaky space blob his mate had brought back from his mission to the stars.

    On one claw it helped his mate to save the stars.

    On the other claw, it was mostly comatose since the two saviors of the universe had come back. It didn’t seem to be useful at all.

    On the other other claw, if what his mate said was true (and his mate would never lie to Adrian), it was the only reason why his mate was even with him right now.

    On the other other other claw, with its health being as bad as it was, Adrian almost never saw his mate nowadays.

    Or Adrian really isn't impressed by one Ryland Grace at first. Will Grace be able to rizz up not one but two erdian baddies?

    Summary

    and there it was again. His name. but it sounded different again. 

    ♫⋆。♪ ᝰ₊˚♬゚ᯓ.‧. instead of 。𖦹‧₊‧..

    "did you change my name in the software?" Grace asked.

    Rocky fidgeted, moving from side to side a bit, claws wiggling.

    "Yes. changed name. week ago."

    "oh...ummm...okay... w-what did you change it to?"

    Rocky sang the new Harmony of Grace's name, "♫⋆。♪ ᝰ₊˚♬゚ᯓ.‧."

    "Grace."  the robo voice supplied.

    "Well, yeah, but, what's it mean?"

    "it is meaning of your name.  gift sent from above, a kindness."

     that made Grace pause. "oh. well, then what was it before?"

    Rocky seemed embarrassed now, carapace tilted down, claws fidgeting. He stayed quiet for longer this time, unwilling to answer.

    Grace has a sneaking suspicion. 

    "Just tell me, pal." Grace said irritably.

    "Rocky call Grace Blob before."

    what. 

    "what."
    __________

    aka: Rocky named Grace 'Blob' in the tunnel. it stuck. Grace finds out.

    Summary

    “Dr. Grace? As in the Dr. Grace who studied the Arclight samples and named Astrophage?" Minoru felt as if he was going to explode from excitement, “He’s here? On this boat?!”

    Ilyukhina laughed and Minoru didn’t even care that she was making fun of him. Even Dubois seemed a little taken aback by the enthusiasm. Shapiro though— her eyes were glowing.

    “Yes he’s on the boat!”

    “Do you think we’ll get to meet him?!”

    “Who do you think is going to teach us how to handle Astrophage?” Dubois asked, like he thought they were both overreacting. Minoru felt like he was going to faint.

    Alternatively: Ryland Grace in the eyes of others during his time on The Petrova Task Force and Project Hail Mary.

    Omgggg perfectly written!!!

    Also this is the one where Eva hopes that Grace's gonna step up and be all 'i volunteer as tribute' but then he doesn't and she's kinda disappointed ngl

    Also grace pretending he's not her first officer as a coping mechanism is too real
