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
If asked what was the first work of Trent Crimm's he'd read, Theodore Lasso would have incorrectly answered An Aquarian Guide to Atlantis, IL.
Ted Lasso gets the opportunity of a lifetime when he's called to fill in for another director on a miniseries produced by Rebecca Welton. To their mutual surprise, Ted and Rebecca discover they're artistic soulmates, and work together to carve out a place in the film/television industry for themselves: Greyhound Productions.
Just as he's settled into his new life in London, Ted catches wind of a rumor that infamously reclusive novelist Trent Crimm may be auctioning the adaptation rights to one of his books after years of stubborn resistance. Ted (a long-time admirer of Crimm's weird, ergodic stories) cannot abide the thought of someone else directing a film adaptation. But Greyhound Productions doesn't have the money to bid against the big studios.
So, his mission is clear: Ted needs to find Trent Crimm and appeal to him directly.
Shame the man doesn't want to be found.

Summary
"We'll figure it out," Benji'd told him quietly when they parted, thumb swiping across his eyes. "That's how it works, we look at what we have and we figure out the possibility space."
Slight AU of TFR. The improvised emergency surgery and delay in medical care have consequences for Benji in the aftermath of the Vault. Forced to navigate a lasting change to his mobility, Benji tries to carve out a place for himself in the world after the Entity.
Ethan is there to help. For the most part. He's trying to help.

Summary
Benji has a problem.
Well, no. He used to have a problem. But it's well in hand now and he's got the EMT certification to back that up (under a false name, but still). So everything's fine. Really.
Until some bloody Alexa with a nuclear sticker on the top asks exactly the wrong questions, and suddenly all of Benji's meticulous, private plans are dragged out into the light.
Turns out, according to Ethan, Benji does have a problem.
And Ethan Hunt has never met a problem he hasn't thrown himself headfirst into solving.

The Undiscovered Country by lighterdenial

Summary
We’re both compelled to explore exobiology to the furthest possible extent, consent withstanding. It’s very normal, even. People do it all the time.
Alternately: "Grace show hole, command."
Or a thinly veiled excuse to write Grace and Rocky going at it.

Summary
The idea of letting Blanc do this somehow felt almost… more and less intimate simultaneously. But the idea of being left alone was even more unbearable than any potential embarrassment it might be at war with, and so he'd finally managed a cracked:
"Okay… yeah…" He dared to meet Blanc's eyes, feeling like he'd already been stripped bare before him for days. What was one more step in the direction of the literal?
After everything is over, Blanc brings Jud back to the rectory.

Summary
Rocky has officially moved into Hail Mary with Grace, but he's still dealing with the aftereffects of living nearly fifty human years by himself. By chance, he finds himself singing with Grace, and it's clear Grace doesn't fully understand what that means for Eridians.
This story roughly follows the plot of both the book and the film, but Rocky and Grace's personalities are more reminiscent of the book. Furthermore, Rocky's speaking style closely follows the book, although his physical appearance is closer to his depiction in the film.
