Summary
Rocky and Grace have been alone for so long, that it was only natural that they became (perhaps unhealthily) attached to the only other person they could interact with for several years. Separating them, even for very necessary reasons, isn't fun for either of them.
When Rocky gifts Grace a stuffed animal to ease the loneliness, Grace quickly becomes almost just as attached. Rocky, on the other hand, starts to wish that Grace would (and could) hold him like that.-----
This is kind of a companion fic to my other PHM fic Alienation & Recovery, and is mostly compliant with it, but you don't need to read that to understand this one :] -

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
Grace squeezes out a wet chuckle, thick with emotion, before suddenly falling silent. Its mouth does that strange up-down up-down movement, like it’s trying to figure out if it’s perplexed or amused. “Wait a minute—“ The human flops on its side to face them.
“Rock, that almost sounds like I’m your kids’ \.\\.”
“New word.”
“Uh… companion animal.”

Summary
Grace and Rocky arrive at Erid. While Grace is more than happy to be one-step further from death, he has yet to confront his very human brain about it. Memories of his time on earth, near-death experiences in space, and being suddenly surrounded by giant alien spiders is a recipe for disaster. Luckily, Rocky is there to help him every step of the way.
