    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

    Grace has to handle First Contact with an alien planet with what meager Eridian his one set of vocal chords can make.
    This Is Fine. This is totally, completely, utterly fine.

    (Grace sounds like a pebble. This, alongside Eridian's extended lifespans, kicks off a chain of misunderstandings that Grace would find utterly mortifying if he knew what the heck was going on.)

    Summary

    Ryland Grace was what most would call a ‘child genius’. Graduated with a Doctorate in Molecular Biology at 13, he was a rising star in the field, until he opened his big mouth. One (well deserved) crash-out in front of hundreds of his peers and a ridiculed paper later and Grace’s only career option left was an assistant professor at his alma madre. When Eva Stratt comes knocking however, his whole future is turned on its head.

    What happens when you stick a certified child genius in space with a highly intelligent alien species? Well obviously he accepts him as their own. Join 14 year old Dr. Ryland Grace in his (mis)adventures from recruitment to star savior.

    A play on pebble Ryland Grace fics that I’ve been obsessed with.

    Summary

    Rocky was waiting for Grace,” he eventually answered. “For many years.

    “So…you think I might be onto something?”

    Yes.” Rocky placed one of his claws against the glass. “Meant to meet. Grace knew it too.

    As if on autopilot, Grace lay his palm against the other side.

    Grace head not in clouds. Grace head near Tau Ceti.

    ~~~

    Just Grace, Rocky and their love-filled days in outer space.

    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

    The ship is completely out of fuel.

    By the time they had realized there was a problem at all it was too late to do anything. The Taumeoba had torn through the ship. Through all of the fuel and all of the astrophage that had been repurposed as radiation protection. Rocky had spent so long trying to fix it and it had only left them injured. Now their only hope is that Grace will save their star, and maybe Earth will be able to send a ship and save Erid. They will be dead by then, but at least the mission won't have completely failed.

    Their mind is not a very kind place to be in a doomed scenario, having spent decades imagining nearly every way they could fail their planet miserably. This had not been one they'd thought of. Now all they are left with are the things they'll miss and the crushing silence surrounding the ship.

    Summary

    "My sleep schedule doesn't need to be so rigid- humans are-"

    "I have read about humans. All studies suggest you need rigid schedule."

    Grace closed his mouth. He missed being Rocky's only source of knowledge about humans.

    -

    Grace has very important business to do and he needs to work for just a few more minutes. Rocky and Adrian have other plans.

    Summary

    Undeniably, Adrian’s life will change irreversibly once again just for having sat in this ship, having chatted with an alien being from another solar system; he would be a fool if he didn’t understand that before stepping aboard.

    What Adrian did not foresee: whatever strange, powerful allure this human has established over his mate is fully transmissible.

    Summary

    Grace is unprepared for the level of love that all of Erid seemed to have for him. It was vaguely terrifying, but also.... nice? To be cared for. To be wanted.

    It gets worse when they find out the circumstances of him ending up on the Hail Mary.

    When his declining health necessitates a trip back to Earth, he is faced with a planet that loves him so fiercely and wonderfully that it finally starts to break through his crippling lack of self worth and bloom into something incredible.

    And Earth? Earth has to deal with an Erid that is polite, protective, and most of all, pissed.

    Summary

    Something was standing above his towel.

    No… someone.

    They seemed to be observing the towel, claws tapping against the material with what he took as curiosity, pinching it between the appendage.

    Was it Rocky? It’d make sense, the Eridian would certainly have something harsh to say about him leaving his stuff laying around. He always had some mean quip to insult his shoddy human memory.

    He opened his mouth to defend himself before Rocky could say something snappy, when the figure then moved, stocky legs rising from beneath their carapace and lifting them to their full standing height.

    They were tall. Too tall.

    That wasn’t Rocky.
