    Summary

    This is a podfic version of My Domestic Life in an Alien World: Me and My Soulmate Reincarnated!? by ritspoon

    Current Podfic length- 12 mins.

    James "Rocky" Rockwell has to leave his dream job at NASA due to an episode he would rather not speak about. He moves to San Fransisco to begin his new career, and stops at a little diner on the way to his new apartment. There, he sees someone incredibly familiar, though they have never met before.
    Not in this lifetime, at least.

    Memories come flooding back to Rocky of an entirely different life he lived. The universe has given him the chance to reunite with the person he holds closest to his heart. And the one who is currently holding him up on the diner floor, telling someone that he needs an ambulance. Rocky grips the sleeve of his cardigan, calls Grace's name, and Grace holds onto him tighter.

    Does he remember, too?

    Summary

    A puff of air whistled from his vent. No one asked him what was wrong.

    He took the xenonite-sealed courting gift from its spot on the dashboard and placed it back in its own special pocket on his bandolier. 'It’s the earth,' Grace had said as he'd extended the small token. 'I want you to have it.'
    ____
    Rocky is led to believe that the Earth hacky sack Grace gives him is a courting gift. He responds to his new mates absence just as sanely as Grace does.

    Summary

    For three hours, he’s at the beach, takes off his socks and hikes Ilyukhina’s dress up, and stands in the water. He left the cane on the shore; it hurts to let his frame bear the brunt of gravity unsupported. The reliable tide, just cool enough to chill him a little, laps at his shins.

    He closes his eyes and tries to forget about himself, the familiar ache in his joints and spine. Allows himself to imagine something else.

    A different truth, a hypothetical, a thought exercise.


    Rocky can't bear to lose Grace. But he can bear to watch Grace wither away from a sickness easily cured by Earth medicine even less.

    Grace has to make another choice.

    Or: After thirteen years on Erid, Grace leaves his true home for Earth. Eva Stratt lives to see him return. Earth takes note of the changes.

    Summary

    It was an accident the first time.

    (One could argue that it wasn't even an accident the first time. Grace could argue this, and he would argue this, probably questioning, how does someone masturbate accidentally??? To which Rocky would then point to Portable Earth Thinking Machine and bring up the many definitions of the very word accident—one being "lack of intention or necessity," which is what Rocky means in this particular case.)

    …admittedly, it doesn't quite work. Rocky didn't start pleasuring himself accidentally after all—that was very intentional, as much as he'd hate to admit it, but he'd rather jump out of Mary's airlock than explain that to Grace.

    So no, not quite an accident. Not exactly the word that fits this peculiar situation he's gotten himself into.

    Rocky just didn't intend for it to go this far.

    Summary

    “Adrian will understand,” Rocky says confidently. “Will be excited to meet alien. Will be excited to meet person who brought me home.”

    “Yeah, and I'm excited to meet them too, but after that!” Is this a translation error? A cultural miscommunication? How is Rocky not getting it? “You're partners. They're not going to want some alien around while you're, like… going on dates and all that.”

    “Does not mean no time for Grace.” Rocky’s starting to sound frustrated. Part of me feels bad, but the rest is just as frustrated. “Why think this, question? On Earth, just abandon friends when have mate, question?”

    It's so clearly a rhetorical question, to which the answer is obviously supposed to be no, of course not. I freeze up anyway.
