Summary
“What are you talking about?” Grace's fingers played quick chords as he spoke. He didn’t even look as he did it, but it did not make them any less purposeful.
“Discussing possible reasons why Tau Ceti is not infected while other stars are,” Eva replied deftly. “I would invite you to join, but we were just finishing—”
“Oh, that’s easy.” His hand twisted a knob, and the notes came out sharper. “It is infected—Petrova Line and everything.”
In Grace's opinion, dreaming about time traveling is no excuse for getting out of practice with his Eridian. To the rest of the Petrova Taskforce, it seems a bit odd that their resident Astrophage expert has suddenly taken to carrying a keyboard around and playing it whenever he speaks. Eva Stratt resolves to figure out what is going on.

Summary
Funny, the things you forget. Like that aliens are supposed to be frightening.
Years of friendship had buried that instinct. It only takes being effortlessly pinned to a mat, a xenonite limb unspooling towards you with all the slow, sinuous elegance of a War of the Worlds tentacle, for it to come roaring back.
“Humans bond with their young by torturing them, question?”

Summary
In hindsight, Grace could very easily realize just how he accidently led Rocky down the path of thinking that humans were amphibians.
However, in his defense when you spend almost 4 years in a cramped spaceship with no proper showers or baths- the idea of going swimming starts to sound absolutely heavenly.
Otherwise known as: 7 times that the Eridians thought that Grace was an amphibian, and the one time he finally found out why there are so many water features in his enclosure.

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.

Summary
To make a long and deeply embarrassing story short, the Eridians have submitted a formal request to witness and perhaps ameliorate the negative effects of his long-suppressed heat.
Translation: they want to watch him get off.
And maybe also see if they can help. Personally.

Summary
***
The chair Grace was standing on suddenly jerked under his feet and he stumbled off of it, crashing to his knees and then all fours with a bruising force that drove the breath out of him.
What—?
It wasn’t just the chair that had moved. The ground was shaking. The whole classroom was moving. Frightened squeaks and whistles erupted from the pebbles.
Earthquake.

Summary
The eggs had been sitting wrong inside Rocky for eleven days.
Grace had noticed, obsessively, cataloguing small shifts in behavior with the same attention he'd once given astrophage samples under a scope. The hitch in the way Rocky moved along the xenonite tunnel, three of his five limbs taking more of his weight than usual.
---------
Grace just wants to help, for science.

“Humans have two hearts, question?” Rocky asks, tapping his foot again.
Grace chuckles again, tabbing back to the full-body illustration of a human, “No, humans only have one. In our chest, here.” He points to the ribcage.
Rocky hums, a little confused, curious melody, “Why Grace have two heartbeats, question?”

Summary
'What is Grace doing, question?'
It all started with that question. Grace going back for Rocky was never going to be something he regretted. Ever.
But then — on the way to Erid, problems that had been the last thing on his mind while on the journey to save his friend arose. Like privacy.—
Grace survives the journey to Erid, and maybe finds a new home there. Rocky and Adrian have a lot of love to give, and they're very creative. But maybe they'd like others to see just how wonderful their little humans is? How well he sings? Eridians are a very curious species, after all.
Or the fic in which Grace finds out eridians are nothing like humans (duh). They are highly competitive, love playing with others and don't mind sharing. Privacy doesn't really exist on Erid other than for eating. He finds out just how much they are willing to share.

a parable of eggs and baskets by deervsheadlights

Summary
Fertility is a fickle thing. Eridians, in spite—or maybe because—of their long lifespan, are only fertile for a hundred years or so.
Rocky anticipates this will be his last clutch. He asks Grace for a favor.
“Remind me why, uh, why we can’t throw together a little xenonite box, stick a silicon heating pad and a thermometer in there, and call it a day?”
‹… Can,› Rocky says, hesitantly. He spins around to put the model down, leaving the two xenonite figurines coupled together, presumably in singular ecstasy or whatever. Joined forever. How romantic.
‹But is… not ideal. Many problems put in nut shell: Once cryo-protectant injected and cooling to 40°C complete, even short 4° internal temperature fluctuation kill egg.›

Summary
"Well," Grace says, reading over the monitor with Mary's full report, "everything looks good. I'm as healthy as a horse. A healthy horse," he adds, getting ahead of Rocky's inevitable logical objection to the phrase.
"Mm," Rocky hums, "no, Grace not as tall as horse. Hair is shorter, also."
"Are those--" Grace plants his hands on his hips. "Are those the main differences you see between me and a horse?"
(In which Grace has multiple crises, breaks his foot, gets his brain microwaved, learns to hate cherry tomatoes, and becomes a celebrity--not necessarily in that order)

what did you do to my heart? by thefirstastraea

Summary
"Grace upset?"
"Not exactly, thinking some dumb human thoughts."
Normally, an answer like this prompts a very nosy Rocky. This time, however, the Eridian lets it go.
"Ah, yes. Leaky space blob thoughts. Will not interrupt. Come to lab once you are done."
Grace watches him roll away, feeling like he's already losing Rocky. It's a dumb thought, but he's a dumb human, and it seems his dumb heart has come online for the first time ever.
OR
Grace catches Feelings with a capital F and believes he's alone in them. Rocky shows Grace he will never be alone again.

Performance Review by Acewithapaintbrush

01 Sep 2026

Summary
The first time we were discussing the politics of his homeworld and Rocky told me about this group I kinda brushed it off to be honest.
A small fraction of Eridians who are rumored to be almost as old as Erid itself and who never show themselves publicly, have a lot of influence over the entire planet and pull all the strings from the shadows? Yeah, no. That sounded a little bit too much like those conspiracy theories your illuminati obsessed neighbor would sprout at you in the elevator if you were unfortunate enough to be trapped in there with him on your way to work.
Which just shows that even with a doctorate in microbiology I am still an idiot because why do I constantly compare earth standards to an alien species?
**************
Some very important Eridians want to observe one of Grace's lessons. And hey, he's so great at public speaking under pressure, what could go wrong?

A Change of Heart by swordsandsadness

Summary
On the journey to Erid, Grace and Rocky discuss their respective alien biologies and Rocky learns that a lot of humans don't make it to the average 80 year life expectancy.
Years later, it looks like Rocky is going to learn that lesson again in a more personal way, but not if he has anything to say about it.
Feat: Grace being susceptible to medical misconceptions aka being a little dumb about human medical science (he’s not that kind of doctor, okay?), old man Grace ignoring pain and injury because he’s used to it, worried Rocky, and a peek at daily life on Erid
