Summary
When Rocky wakes up after Adrian, he's relieved they're both alive, but immediately knows that something is off with Grace. He's having trouble breathing, sleeping a lot, and spiking fevers. As much as Grace wants to blame it on lung irritation from the ammonia in Rocky's atmosphere, Rocky knows he's downplaying it, and it's not going to work.
However, before he can actually do anything about it, the ship's power goes out. Taumoeba have gotten into the fuel and eaten all the astrophage, leaving them with no choice but to steal from the beetles.
Which are on the outside of the ship.
Which means two EVAs and a lot of lab work for Grace, all while his condition declines from what's quickly turning into a serious health problem. All Rocky can do is make sure he has what he needs and try to take care of him as best he can from afar, hoping they can get to safety before Grace's health is too fragile to recover.Bookmarked by Pendad

Summary
After four years of space travel, Grace and Rocky are finally approaching Erid. Grace has been working hard to learn Eridian, but two days out, disaster strikes - his keyboard is broken and Rocky is hurt.
Luckily, Grace can speak some very basic Eridian with his single set of vocal cords. Unfortunately, he sounds like a newly hatched baby Eridian when he does.

Summary
“So uh…She’s- Yuki-onna is a snow spirit said to appear on winter nights. She’s described as a lonely yet beautiful woman as pale and light as snow, freezing to the touch, with a habit of siphoning the warmth out of people with a single touch. Or a kiss, depending on the version.”
“Oh!” Rocky exclaimed, “Like Grace!”
“Wha- Excuse me?” Grace startled.
“Grace have freezing body temperature.” Rocky said matter-of-factly, “Grace beautiful and lonely and fragile. Grace skin organ flimsy and light like snow. Grace could kill Rocky with freezing touch or kiss.”
And Rocky would let him, thank him even, for his touch like burning ice. So-Cold-It-Burns with oxygenated flames for lips and long fingers like burrowing needles of ice, but it would be touch.

Summary
♪So humans do not need to care about viruses, question?♪
“Well… we do need to care a little. Some viruses cause more severe infections than others. Influenza, for example, is pretty inconvenient for most people. It can cause nausea, fever, nose leaking, aches, coughing, and more. It can even be deadly for people with weak immune systems, like children or the very old. We definitely take it seriously when someone vulnerable gets infected. Influenza is one of the diseases we vaccinate for. Who remembers what vaccination is?”
The entire class raised their claws. Grace facepalmed.
“Right, duh. Forget I asked.”
♪Cannot forget.♪ Someone chimed, eliciting several giggling thrills.
OR
Ryland Grace has an annoyingly short lifespan by Eridian standards. Rocky fix. Good thing Grace is there to teach the Eridians everything they need to know about human biology.

“Ohhh,” Rocky trills. “Rocky understand now. Grace embarrassed because Grace is bad at kissing.”
“I’m not embarrassed.”
“Grace is a little embarrassed. Grace say Grace bad at kissing,” Rocky says triumphantly. “Very sad that is Grace’s situation. Sad, old man, bad at kissing.”

Summary
"Rocky did not understand human names and titles when we met. Eridian names longer, give information on Eridian's home, associations, skills." For the first time in ages, he positioned two of his arms together, forming the design that Grace thought of like a family crest, a single design bisected.
"You should teach me to read those before we get to Erid, so I can be polite." As Grace considered the linework, already picking up on some vague ideas from the shapes in Rocky's carapace, something else occurred to him. "So… I picked 'Rocky' because your outer shell looks like stone."
"And for inspirational story of athlete who defeats human system of poverty to become great champion. Eye of the tiger."
"Retroactively, yeah." Grace bent at the hips, getting to Rocky's 'eye' level. "So what'd you name me?"

Summary
The thing is, Grace longs for connection. He wants to have a partner, and he wants to be close to them in every way possible. But he’s not sure if he can even feel love the way most people do. He’s not even sure he’s ever been in love before. Maybe he was, but it was so different from how other people would describe it that there’s not even a point in labelling it that. Maybe it’s just… admiration? Respect? He genuinely doesn’t know.
Is he allowed to call it love?

Summary
Two years into Ryland Grace's trip to Erid, and the scientist was starting to take a turn for the worse. Passing by a random transmission, the Hail Mary was slowly starting to die. The Nanny-Bot was fucked, he was missing a fuel tank, and the communications was driving him insane.
It surprises him when he hears what sound like a humans voice- English no less.

Summary
Grace and Rocky are one year away from Erid when an unidentified object slams into the Hail Mary. It's an object that shouldn't exist in a place that shouldn't hold problems.
Inside is a man that definitely shouldn't exist, too.
After a violent first meeting, Grace, Rocky, and their newfound passenger - Simon - are forced to survive the remainder of the trip to Erid together: low on supplies, stranded in deep space, and each carrying traumas from their difficult journeys.
Yet somehow, against all odds, they begin to build a life together aboard the ship.

Summary
The humans threw Grace away. Grace, who worked so hard to save them, who came back for Rocky when he realized the taomoeba would eat through Rocky's ship. Grace, who gave up his chance to go home to save Erid too.
And then Rocky finds out exactly how Grace ended up in space.
They're not giving him back now. Grace will always have a place on Erid where he's beloved and cherished the way he should be, even if it takes Grace a while to believe he's worth that. Rocky may or may not have plans to fix up the Hail Mary for the trip back anyways- there were a few things they wanted to say directly to Stratt's face.

Summary
If this record is a confession, let it be a complete one: the human-thinking-machine Rocky was gifted has everything on it. With the aid of the device Rocky had made back aboard the Mary that translates light on Grace’s human-visual displays to texture on Rocky’s Eridian-sonar display, accessing all of humanity’s combined wisdom is as easy as making a database query.
Rocky consumes approximately 1,600 Earth-hours of human pornography before the ship’s engines cease to function, leaving it dead and stranded in space. Again.

Simon waited.
Waited for them to apologize. Tell him there’s nothing they could do. That he wasn’t worth the trouble or resources, that he wasn’t worth the time.
But that never came.
Instead, after a second Grace came back on the line, his voice sounding determined now. “Alright,” he said. “Hang tight.”
Simon blinked slowly. “What?”

Summary
“Who complained about you eating, question?” Someone must’ve said something. He’s had so many visitors in the last couple of days. Who was it? Grace has never questioned this part of himself. Grace huffs at me.
“No one! I’m just trying to be polite! Eridians have special soundproof eating rooms, shouldn’t I?”
“You are not Eridian!”
He doesn’t need to meet our standards; he’s his own species! Some things he might need to change in his daily life to adapt to Erid life, but his food habits don’t need to be one of them. My words don’t comfort Grace like I thought they would. Grace shrinks into himself, and I wish I were on his side to hug him.
or the Entities provide Grace with a culture teacher to prepare for life on Erid and he gets his first taste of Eridian inhospitality.

Summary
"Thanks for your hard work as always.” I give him a thumbs up that he returns.
(Of course it's actually a thumbs down.)
“No need to thank. We both work hard to stop astrophage from eating stars.”
I nod. It’d be two hundred years before Earth and Erid would see the real effects of the stars dimming. I’d be long dead. But for the Eridians, that was only a fourth of their life span. Though if everything goes according to plan, we’ll have a solution figured out way before it gets to that point.
A somewhat lighthearted canon divergence where no suicide mission is needed and everyone stays on Earth (for now)

Summary
Grace is coming to terms with living on Erid, being the only human is fine. He has Rocky, he is getting along with Adrian too, and Armando is always around for a chat. So why does he still get an aching feeling in his chest like something is missing from his life? It's something he doesn't want to think about too much, no point when its gonna give him nothing but grief.
That is until Rocky gives him the news, during the Eridian's mission to continue space exploration, they found... a person? Stranded on their own, just like Grace once was. With the new human on route to Erid, Grace contemplates all the ways that this could change his life.

Summary
Grace had actually been getting used to a solitary life on Erid as the only human in 11.9 light years. He’d made peace with it, he continually tried to assure himself, just like he told himself he’d made peace with dying in space three years before.
Rocky could see right through him, and maybe in retrospect, that’s why he’d brought Simon to him.

Summary
The Eridian thrills a high sound that doesn’t get picked up by the translator which means that it has no clear meaning. Like when a human gasps or sucks in a deep breath. It actually sounds a little like that. When they notice that I’m staring straight at them they scramble back into their hiding spot and hold very still.
A child, I realize with a start.
That’s a child!
“Hey,” I call and the kid squeaks again. I was about to get to my feet but abort the movement and crawl closer on my hands and knees until I'm inches away from the xenonite wall. I wait and it takes me much too long to realize that they don’t have to peek around the corner to see if I’m still there.
“Hey there,” I try again, my voice low and calm. It’s my teacher voice, the one I use for shy and scared students.
Used.
The fact that I haven’t had to use it for years and it still comes to me automatically almost knocks the air out of my lungs but this is not about me, it’s about making sure the little pebble doesn’t die of fright from the scary alien. “Hi, I’m Grace. It’s alright, you don’t have to be scared.”
