Summary
Mica handled a lot of unpredictable situations in their job as an emergency hatchling guardian. It came with the territory – there were all kinds of reasons a pebble too young to be alone might need watching by someone who wasn’t a cluster member. But Mica had never had a situation like the call they received from the space science cluster.
“Engineer Rocky is on that ship, apparently injured, and he’s brought back some kind of alien with him. It’s very young, only IIVI years old, it doesn’t have any of its own kind, but it learned some Eridian from Engineer Rocky. Can you come and watch it while Engineer Rocky recovers and we work out what it needs?”
or, Grace gets babysat by an Eridian.

Summary
Simon didn’t expect his savior to be exactly his type.
What a welcome sight. Even if this stupidly handsome man ends up being evil, or working for the C.O.I, at least he’d die looking at something good.
or
Grace and Rocky find Simon's ship floating in deep space on their way to Erid.
UPDATE: This fic has been peer reviewed by a NASA engineer who has approved of the science!

Summary
He knew that a robot could never really replace a person. They had to be updated in order to learn. Their vocabulary would always be limited to their specific purpose. As for Huggles, she didn’t retain her own warmth, and certainly didn’t need hugs for her own sake. She didn't know what ‘welcome home, Prompto!’ really meant. He just hadn’t anticipated it could be this good to be in the arms of an actual person.
When Gladio spoke, Prompto could feel the rumble in his friend’s chest. “Blondie… how…” Gladio paused, then started again. “When’s the last time you were…”
Held? Like this?
“Dunno,” Prompto mumbled. It was only slightly easier than the truth, which was that he did know, that he remembered because it was the most precious memory of his parents he had.
He had been about eight years old.// Prompto grew up one step outside of the rest of the world, so starved for interaction that he made himself a robot to give him hugs. He was certain he wouldn’t get them anywhere else. But then, he met Noctis, Ignis, and Gladio.
