    Summary

    Both of his hands formed an 'L', then he touched opposite forefingers to opposite thumbs. Next, he raised three fingers, then pointed his thumb behind himself.

    'Lab three after this?'

    On the other side of the room, separated by a xenonite barrier and two parties of very professional first contact volunteers, one of the smaller Eridians was subtly shifting back and forth. Grace absolutely wasn't listening to what the rest of their two crews were saying, but the last time he tuned in, they'd been discussing trade negotiations and resource allowances. Important stuff he was sure, but his mind was singularly focused on the 'experiments' he and the Eridians' third engineer were conducting.
    ____
    Grace and Rocky are both nonessential members of their respective species' first contact teams. While under strict orders to not engage with their new interstellar neighbors until negotiations are further underway, the two of them strike up a friendship, and might end up getting along a little too well.

    Summary

    To ensure Grace's safety upon arrival at Erid, Rocky makes him a platonic gift. Platonic, nothing more. He's endlessly infatuated with the human, but in an entirely platonic, friends-stuck-on-a-spaceship kind of way. Nothing more. Probably. Definitely. Let's talk about something else.

    Grace had accepted that the one person he could ever truly love was an already-married scary space spider from a planet trillions of miles away, and he'd made peace (For real! (Maybe!)) with the fact that Rocky could never feel the same. When Rocky proposed, Grace almost fainted. Well, who ever said Eridians had to be monogamous?

    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

    heartmoor:

    n. the primal longing for a home village to return to, a place that no longer exists, if it ever did.

    Ryland and Casey meet out on the road and build a life together. It's never easy— even less so when Grace's brothers come back into the picture.

    (Five works currently planned. This series is interconnected, and as such each fic will not make much sense if you haven't read the ones before it)
