    Summary

    Rocky knows that Grace is considered an adult for his species, but his hindbrain goes crazy when he finds out he’s in his 30s. So that’s why he’s been feeling weirder than normal. His alpha instincts think Grace is a pebble.

    Or,
    What if Eridians had ABO dynamics and humans didn't? (Gen ABO dynamics | Non-sexual heats/ruts)

    Now with a second chapter feat. Adrian!

    Summary

    “Wow, this is so… And what happened to those soldiers? Eridians from frontlines? I gather they had some sort of severe case of PTSD then.”

    “They died.”

    “I beg your pardon?”

    This.

    This is clearly some mistake in the translation. Has to be.

    -

    On a long jorney to Erid Grace and Rocky decide to deal with traumatic nature of Eridian's experience in space. They do it with talks, singing, gossiping and dancing.

    I just thought there is a lot of works about Rocky helping Grace to deal with heavy emotional stuff, there should be one where Grace supports his friend also!

    Summary

    [What does hand flex mean, question?] Rocky asks from where we're huddled together on the floor, watching the 2005 adaption of Pride & Prejudice.

    "It's uh—" I hit pause, search for the right word. "Have we had yearning in the vocab yet?"

    Summary

    Tears stung in Grace’s eyes as his memories completed their return.

    She was his wife. 

    Well, fiancé. Other events got in the way of the husband and wife part.

     

    or...

     

    Grace and Stratt had been engaged pre-explosion. She still sends him to space, hiding her ring with the end of life services on the ship. Grace doesn't remember they were engaged until he finds it, along with her final goodbye to him. But I made them happy for you so there is no leak and he gets to go home. #reunion

    Summary

    "What do you think happened, Captain?"

    "Don't know. Don't care. Need coffee."

    A pause. Then, "Do we wake Grace?"

    "No."

    "But—"

    "No, Ilyukhina."

    (Or: Ilyukhina and Yao wake up early due to a malfunction on the Hail Mary. They do what needs to be done—for the dying star they left behind and the only person who can save them all.)

    Summary

    "Why fox do that, question? Why let little prince tame fox when fox know little prince leave, question? Fox hurt fox self!” I said glumly. “I no understand.”

    There was a gentleness I hadn't heard before in Grace’s voice when he replied, “I hope you never do, buddy.”

    I asked less questions after that.

    Summary

    I never noticed. There are no mirrors in my house; there are no mirrors anywhere on Erid, at least not in the sense that we understand them. There’s reflective surfaces, but not intentionally so. My attention has been tugged this way and that, always something new to discover, or else something new to research in the endless encyclopedia I was left with. I had no reason to look at my own body beyond what was necessary to keep it clean.

    But now I’m sitting here, and it stares me in the face. Emphasized by my position, my stomach rises up and over my waistband, forming a soft mass that spills slightly over my sides.

    “Oh,” I say out loud. I run a hand over this new pudge that probably isn’t new at all, startling slightly at the texture of it. Soft. Yielding. Slightly cold from the water evaporating on it. I touch my body like it isn’t my own, because for a long, long time, it wasn’t. I touch it the way Rocky touched me once he finally had the option to, committing everything to memory, matching it to what he already knew.

    /////

    Or: In the two years that he spent on Erid, Grace has changed in just about every way imaginable. But one way in particular feels more significant than the rest.

    Summary

    Grace is put on cleaning duty and gets a mysterious fourth bag of vodka for his troubles.

    Rocky begrudgingly takes on the role of Designated Driver slash Space Blob Supervisor, and receives a different kind of gift in return.


    “Grace. What are you doing?”

    Grace's mouth, still smushed against my xenonite, curves upward: Contentment, happiness, satisfaction. Interesting, that it should be prone to smiling when made stupid by ethanol, but not so much when it gets stupid because of a lack of sleep.

    “‘s called a kiss, buddy. I‘m givin’ you. A kiss. ‘cause you're my best friend annnnd I like you. And y’nno what, you're actually pretty nice. When you’re not goin’ outta your way to be mean to me, that is.”

    Summary

    I lived with this hunger long before the Hail Mary. This is nothing new. I’m fine.

    Right up until Rocky asks another question.

    “When last time you touch other human person skin, question?”

    Oh. Oh no. “When I… a few days after I first woke up here.”

    Rocky starts to relax for a split second, but then tightens when something occurs to him.

    “Grace crewmates dead when you wake up. You said this, statement. You not even know your own name, remember nothing, see dead bodies, confirm?”

    I nod, because if I open my mouth I will gag.

    “When last time Grace touch ALIVE human person, question.”

    I swallow thickly. I don’t answer aloud because I know Rocky can hear the hitch in my breath. My stomach churns with fresh bile. He senses my vital signs tick over into stress patterns and goes very, very still again.

    “Grace. When last time, question.”

    I clench my jaw so hard my temples ache, and beg him with my eyes to just stop.

    “Grace. Please say not when… when Evil Stratt humans put you to sleep.”

    I can taste grass.

    ---

    AKA: Grace starves for more than just food on the journey to Erid.

    Summary

    "Well, you didn't really say anything, honestly— it's been mostly me talking!"

    Stratt ducked her head for a moment, and Ryland felt his smile grow. That was a clear sign she was laughing— probably one of those huffy, sigh-laughs she did when he cracked a joke just dumb enough to get good reaction out of her.

    "I decided to get some fresh air," she parroted, leaning down a bit more. "And I'm not, not looking for company, Dr. Grace."

     

    Or: Grace can’t quite get to sleep. Stratt (apparently) doesn’t sleep at all. This goes surprisingly well for both of them.

    Summary

    "Photon sensing is short-range for navigation? How far Grace see?"

    Grace's brows furrowed as he contemplated.

    "In here? To the wall—about six meters. But outside, or looking out into space? I can see things that are kilometers away. If it's a star, I can see it from light-years away."

    All three Eridians clicked in surprise, the third Eridian—Grace nicknamed them 'Mendel'—wobbling on their stool in surprise.

    "Light-years?!" Rocky chirped, melody rising. "You lie! Explain!"

    OR

    Grace explains what light and colors are.

    Summary

    The alien—Grace—is finally asleep. Or, at least, Rocky thinks he is. He’s curled on his side, tucked away under a covering. Rocky sits on the other side of the alcove the human lies in, fiddling away with one of his many repair projects. Typically, watching another as they sleep is fairly straightforward and uneventful. Not much is needed beyond something to do and to keep a lookout for whoever’s resting.

    But Rocky can’t help but focus more on Grace as he rests. He just can’t; the way the human sleeps is, quite literally, otherworldly.

    Summary

    It was fine. He was fine. He’s working on his feelings, albeit in an unorthodox way — “You can’t go cold turkey and not expect to have Stratt withdrawal symptoms,” Carl argued the other day. He hated that he called it that, he hated it even more that in some twisted way, it was kind of accurate.

    or

    Grace refuses to admit he's jealous and naturally, no one believes him (not even himself really). Stratt thinks it's unproductive.
