    Summary

    While working on solving the issue of Grace slowly dying of starvation, malnutrition, and a host of other issues, the Eridians discover the human internet (largely Wikipedia) and fall down a rabbit hole of trying to figure out everything they can about the needs of their squishy alien savior. While most of their focus is on the food issue, another link catches their (metaphorical) eyes.

    "Touch starvation, also known as touch deprivation or skin hunger, is the physiological need by humans and other species for physical contact with their own species or other living beings."

    No one is happy about this.

    Summary

    Series Disclaimer:
    Soft Spot is a collection of ficlets and one-shots focused on quiet care, found family, and Dwalin developing a protective fondness for Bilbo. These works prioritize character moments over plot, lean into softness rather than angst, and explore affection through actions rather than words.

    This series is primarily platonic unless otherwise tagged. No content is intended to infantilize Bilbo; care is shown through respect, competence, and belief in his capability.

    Summary:
    Small moments of care and protection as Dwalin keeps watch over Bilbo on the road to Erebor.

    “Hold still, lovely alien,” the Eridian croons, snapping a claw closed around the hem of my cardigan. “♫♬♩ will be so gentle, yes.”

    Summary

    One unexpected benefit of Rocky's new xenonite suit is the discovery that Grace's panic is often soothed by Rocky's weight on his chest. It's come in handy during many nightmares and Rocky is ecstatic to have a new way to help. During Grace's latest nightmare, Rocky goes to put weight on his back to soothe him. It doesn't work. It really, really doesn't work.

    Summary

    “Rocky not explain question?” asked Adrian slowly.
    “Busy,” said Rocky, sheepish.
    “Had four years on ship.”
    “Busy then too.”
    Adrian skittered back and forth, which I think equated to a human throwing both hands up in exasperation. “With what question?”
    “Science!”
    “Whole time science question? Four years!”
    “Is much science in universe!”

    --

    Rocky has neglected to explain some very important cultural context to Grace.

    Eridians are polyamerous, but in a aromantic asexual way. Except Rocky forgot to tell Grace that theyre mates/besties
