    Summary

    The arrival at Erid is a momentous occasion. Rocky is excited and thrilled. Ryland is overwhelmed. But the reunion is happy, beautiful, amazing.

    Or that's what it should have been. Except Rocky gets hurt, Ryland is left to try and communicate with an alien planet, and everyone is scrambling to figure out how to do this. To Grace, this is incredible but also bittersweet - he got Rocky home safely with the taumoeba, now he just gets... to starve. To Erid, this is insane - how did Rocky show up in an alien spaceship with a child???

    ...

    Ryland Grace is stuck trying to speak Eridian, immediately makes himself sound like a child, and Rocky's world and family scramble to help this strange pebble. Misunderstandings galore, alongside hurt/comfort and angst and fluff.

    Summary

    The trip to Erid had felt long; it was always longer when the anticipation grew. Rocky had done well as an Eridian teacher, but Grace was only picking up so much of their language. Part of the issue stemmed from the fact that he had one set of vocal cords. He was pretty good at understanding Rocky, but he knew this was because Rocky spoke in a slow, calculated way for Grace to understand. So it had been agreed that upon arrival, Rocky would do all the talking.

    Then the Hail Mary had been assaulted with what Grace liked to call space debris. The ship had rattled and rolled, but he had managed to right it quickly. Not quick enough, however, as Rocky had been thrown around within his xenonite walls, and had banged himself up pretty badly. He had held on to consciousness long enough to tell Grace he'd be fine, to continue to be a brave human and talk to the other Eridians for them, and once the doctors helped him, he'd be fine.

    "He better be fine," Grace muttered under his breath, forcing himself to take slow, deep breaths in hopes of calming his racing heart, "Or I'll bring him back just to kill him."

    Summary

    The Sokovia Accords were supposed to leash the Avengers. Instead, they gave Eva Stratt a shopping list for the end of the world.

    Fresh off the bleeding edge of Siberia, a broken Tony Stark discovers the sun is dying—and that Stratt has weaponized his stolen genetic records in an attempt to draft him for a four-year, one-way suicide mission into the dark. At the Compound alongside Dr. Ryland Grace, a rumpled junior high science teacher who just figured out how the solar parasite breeds, Tony is forced into a chaotic partnership over volatile space sludge.

    To Stratt, sacrificing three lives to save seven billion is basic math. To Tony Stark, a one-way ticket isn't a tragic necessity—it’s just a design flaw. It’s time to break the rules, rewrite the physics, and make damn sure the universe's most expensive floating coffin gets a steering wheel.

    And he, and Doctor Ryland Grace, would not be taking it.

    Summary

    Eva Stratt has never been a woman who hesitates.

    She’s made countless decisions after decisions throughout her life, often regardless of the consequences that may result. She’s not an idiot. She’s well aware that there will be consequences, and she’s equally sure that the consequences will be of little concern. The end justifies the means — her actions will be judged, but at least they will have happened.

    But here, alone in a Russian conference room, for once in her life Eva Stratt does not know what to do.

    OR; The beetles make it home.
