I'd Know You Blind by L3talks

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?

Summary
Grace and Rocky have journeyed to Erid, fallen in love and even pledged themselves as mates along the way. Although nervous about introducing themselves and their relationship to Erid, at least they'll get to do it as a team. That's the plan, until Rocky's moult begins as soon as they get close to Erid, and Grace is left alone to baby-talk his way to First Contact with a new planet.
Without Rocky awake to help explain things, Grace is misinterpreted as being a small child. If only he realised this. And if only he wasn't keeping the fact he and Rocky are much more than friends a secret on top of it...

Summary
I snort. It's plain he's just being facetious, but I call him out on his bull-puckey anyway. "Me?! You're the one who threw the first punch—er, pillow—here, buddy!"
I try yet again to squirm out from under his grasp, but he holds firm, the hand on my bicep restraining me just that much tighter. My face feels strangely hot—must be from the heat of Rocky's body permeating through the suit. But why the heck is my heart beating so fast?
"Because Grace become sleep dumb, obvious," Rocky dismisses. His musical trills have pitched down into a low, vibrating thrum that reverberates across every point of contact between us. I shiver at the sensation, at the way I'm pinned there, at the heavy, warm weight of Rocky's body pressed against mine. My pulse quickens further, blood rapidly rushing both to my face and down south to my—
Oh God.
…or:
The one where Grace is acting Strange™️ and Rocky uses the scientific method to deduce why.Series

Summary
I can’t go home yet; I don’t want to face Adrian’s gentle comfort; I don’t deserve it. I can’t do anything useful anymore. I did my job and saved the planet, and I guess that’s it. No more engineering for Rocky. Maybe I’ll pick up something else, a new career to fill my time if no one will utilize my painstakingly crafted talents in the engineering world anymore. No, I can’t even pretend. I love engineering, I love making things, working on things, making things better. I need a project to fill up my thoughts until nothing else fits. Why won’t they give me one?
Grace would give me one. He loves my inventions, praises me more than I can stand to hear. He wants my work still, right? I’m already halfway to the dome before I even realize it. It’s late for Grace, he might not even be awake, but I need to meet him. I need him.
or Grace settles into Erid life pretty easily. Rocky struggles to do the same.

Summary
“Laika awake,” Rocky observes, in what Laika takes to be a quietly surprised tone of soft musical notes. Translating has been an obstacle she and Grace have found surprisingly difficult. Even if two humans didn’t speak the same language, their daemons could communicate a certain level of meaning and emotional responses without their humans having to get involved. Impossible, when the daemon of an alien was either absent or - as Laika deeply suspected - simply invisible.’
Grace wakes up from his coma to find his daemon changed, his crew dead, and no memory of how any of this happened. And now, there’s an alien here too.

But not everyone on Erid sees him as a person. Some see a miracle. Some see a curiosity. Some see a treasure being kept behind sound dead walls.

Summary
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
The man had a thick crop of greying black hair, and his arms were covered in scars, along with a few blotches of turquoise and green, like watercolour tattoos. The scars differed in texture – some were deeply carved creases in the skin, others were raised like keloids, all in deliberate patterns and shapes.
I recognised those patterns, those shapes. The family crest – one half on each forearm. The school and group markings. His rank. His mate-circles. His rulers and measuring implements, all carved into his body, all instantly recognisable.Oh god.
*
A freak accident puts Rocky, temporarily, into a human body. Whilst he and Grace wait for the reversal, they discover a lot about each other, and the nature of their relationship. Eventual smut, happy ending to come.

Summary
“Who complained about you eating, question?” Someone must’ve said something. He’s had so many visitors in the last couple of days. Who was it? Grace has never questioned this part of himself. Grace huffs at me.
“No one! I’m just trying to be polite! Eridians have special soundproof eating rooms, shouldn’t I?”
“You are not Eridian!”
He doesn’t need to meet our standards; he’s his own species! Some things he might need to change in his daily life to adapt to Erid life, but his food habits don’t need to be one of them. My words don’t comfort Grace like I thought they would. Grace shrinks into himself, and I wish I were on his side to hug him.
or the Entities provide Grace with a culture teacher to prepare for life on Erid and he gets his first taste of Eridian inhospitality.
