    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

    Grace's journey to Erid is long and taxing. 4 whole years spent on the Hail Mary by Rocky's side has inevitably brought them closer together, despite the last year mostly consisting of Grace trying his very best not to die and keep himself from throwing up taumoeba into the bathroom. It’s only after his body has stopped fighting desperately for his life that his mind has the time to catch up on everything that has happened with Rocky…and on Earth without him. It doesn’t help that he’s going to be the only human on a planet of Eridians and that his best friend’s mate doesn’t seem to like him much at all.

    Or

    Ryland Grace tries his best to begin to live again rather than just be alive, balancing his severe attachment to Rocky and helping to fix Rocky’s marriage to a frustrated Adrian.

    Summary

    Sometimes, when two Eridians have a strong connection, they swap bodies. This is typically taken as a sign that they are supposed to mate. Rocky has swapped bodies with Adrian many times, but he never thought he’d swap with an alien.

    Swapping will improve communication dramatically, giving them more access to each other’s languages, so this development is really good for the mission.

    Unfortunately, the alien isn’t taking this very well.

    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.)

    "I'll keep you updated. In the meantime, go back to sleep. When you need to worry, I'll tell you."

    "Heh." Ryland ran his hand down his face. "It's terrible you know that it actually makes me feel better. What would I do without you?"

    "Explode at a colleague at a conference and get expelled from academia and become a middle school teacher." Eva said, promptly.

    "Wow, you've thought about that way too hard." Ryland laughed. "Middle schoolers might not vape in class, though. Maybe I should switch."

    "Let's not joke."

    Summary

    "Why? What about you and the other version of me? I guess you guys are close buddies too, huh?" I smiled over the rim of my mug.

    Ryland smiled. Or at least, I think he tried to. The expression twitched halfway through and he made a wincing face that disappeared as fast as he made it.

    "We are," he said after a pause. "Close friends."

    His eye twitched.

    Uh oh.

    watdatmean?

    If I still had access to Twitter, I'd be posting a tweet right now that just said: #watdatmean with no absolute context or whatever.

    Because Ryland suddenly sounded emotionally constipated, like he was hiding a massive and pointy shit inside his ass and desperately hoping nobody would notice. Which immediately made me notice.

    Grace and Rocky’s unlikely friendship saved the day. They found the cure to save the stars. Their mission is done. Now, Grace thinks, they'll have to say goodbye.

    But Rocky has seen the signs: regardless of what Grace thinks, Earth is not safe. He has different plans, kinder plans, for his human. Ones he will enact.

    Even if it has to be against Grace's will.

    Summary

    When Rocky returns to planet Erid after 60 odd years, Adrian expects a beautiful reunion with their long lost partner and a happily ever after under a brightening star. Instead, they get an extremely codependent and traumatized mate, and a malnourished, creepy, leaky space blob, who are attached at the hip. Could Adrian learn to love this alien creature, or will it tear their marriage apart?

    Summary

    Every screen in the room blazed with the same breaking news feed. An alien voice had just asked for him by name on live television.

    “Mr. Grace?” little Jamal whispered from the front row, eyes huge behind his glasses. “Is that really you they’re talking about? Like, you you?”

    Ryland’s mouth opened, but nothing came out. His heart slammed against his ribs like it wanted to escape and hide under the desk with the class hamster. He was just Mr. Grace. The guy who drew cartoon planets on the board, who stayed late helping kids glue together messy dioramas of the solar system, who once spent an entire lunch period comforting a sobbing girl because her goldfish had “gone to the great fishbowl in the sky.” He graded spelling tests on vocabulary words like photosynthesis and asteroid. Aliens did not know his name. Aliens did not ask for science teachers.

    The marker slipped from his fingers and clattered to the floor.

    Summary

    Ryland Grace was only human, but his spirit would not be subdued not even for death itself. Thanks to Rocky, Erid would soon learn the strength of the seemingly frail humans who sent a teacher into space. The duality of man would echo through their thrum haunting even the oldest Eridian. Grace was something new, something unknown, and something potentially dangerous. And Erid would never let him go. They would protect. They would claim. They would meet an indomitable human spirit.

    Inspired by the idea of the indomitable human spirit

    Bad dreams suck. Grace wakes up from a nightmare of being on the Hail Mary, which is utterly impossible, but his throat hurts like he really did have a tube pulled out of it.

    Turns out, he wasn't the only one to have that dream. Which was even more impossible than him actually being on a ship that's not even fully built.

    Summary

    Ryland wakes up on a planet 16.5 light years from home with nearly 2 decades worth of memories missing. He’s done incredible things, or so he’s told, but all of that is overshadowed by the painful process of remembering. There’s a lot of jagged edges around events from his life that he wishes remained buried. But for the first time, Ryland has the opportunity to pick up pieces previously left untouched, and create a stronger foundation for the new relationships in his one-of-a-kind, wild ride of a life.

    (Plenty of angst/hurt/comfort, flashbacks, etc. with fluff and lovely bits holding it together in between)
