    Summary

    How well do you have to know someone to recognize them without looking?

    To know the weight of their hand, the shape of their fingers, the warmth of their skin. To reach for them in the dark without hesitation, certain that they're there.

    Grace has never needed his eyes to find Rocky.

    Some people memorize faces. Grace memorized the way Rocky feels. Maybe that's what love is.

    Or maybe it's something far more dangerous.

    Summary

    Some people have skeletons in their closets.

    Grace has a humanoid version of his alien boyfriend.

     ---

    He's a human living in a biodome, romantically involved with two aliens, and still recovering from nearly starving to death getting there. So naturally, when Eridian scientists discover they can use Grace's DNA to create a human biological avatar for Rocky to pilot, everyone agrees it's a brilliant solution to Grace's lingering need for human contact.

    Unfortunately, the scientists failed to account for one important variable:

    Grace is a fucking menace.

    Now Rocky has to deal with the possibility that his human avatar might be a little too useful, Grace is having entirely too much fun with the scientific breakthrough, and Adrian is wondering why they ever agreed to let these two have access to advanced biotechnology.

    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)

    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

    “Would it help––should I bring my dinner in too?” Grace jokes, smiling in preparation for the absolute symphony of disgusted whistles he knows Rocky will produce at the thought of them doing something as depraved as sharing a meal. “I’ve been saving this week’s half packet of ramen for just such an occasion––”

    [YES YES YES!] Rocky’s translator app suddenly blares from the laptop on the floor between them. [YES, ACCEPT ACCEPT ACCEPT! GRACE RAMEN ♪♫♪♫ WITH ROCKY, AFFIRMATIVE! GRACE ROCKY EAT ♪♫♪♫ MEAL TOGETHER AFFIRMATIVE YES YES AFFIRMATIVE NOW.]

    -----------------------------------------------------------

    or, a fic to answer the questions: What if you fell in love for the first time in your 40s, and it just so happened to be with your alien best bud who has five legs, no face, and is already married? And then what if somehow you accidentally proposed to said alien best bud without knowing, because while you may be Earth's best and brightest, you also notoriously suck at close interpersonal relationships (and also you have permanent memory damage)? What then?
