    Summary

    Adrian is trying their best to do everything they can to help Erid while Rocky remains lost in the stars. He'll come home, they know he'll come home. So they just have to do everything they can to help while they wait down the clock.
    And then the astronomers spot something headed straight for Erid. And it's not the ship they sent up there over half a century ago.

    Summary

    I snort. "Yeah, got me there. I'm old, okay? Just give me a second."

    A handful of moments pass. Then, "How old, question?" Rocky asks.

    I open my mouth, and then I realize exactly what I just walked into.

    Summary

    Grace has to handle First Contact with an alien planet with what meager Eridian his one set of vocal chords can make.
    This Is Fine. This is totally, completely, utterly fine.

    (Grace sounds like a pebble. This, alongside Eridian's extended lifespans, kicks off a chain of misunderstandings that Grace would find utterly mortifying if he knew what the heck was going on.)

    The last five years living on Erid had been some of the happiest of Simon's life. He felt safe, happy, fulfilled, and had people he felt genuinely cared for him. Simon was sure that his perfect life was about to crumble when Rocky returned with another human. Where all Simon has ever known on Erid is compassion, his experience with humanity had rarely been so kind

    Summary

    The alien—Grace—is finally asleep. Or, at least, Rocky thinks he is. He’s curled on his side, tucked away under a covering. Rocky sits on the other side of the alcove the human lies in, fiddling away with one of his many repair projects. Typically, watching another as they sleep is fairly straightforward and uneventful. Not much is needed beyond something to do and to keep a lookout for whoever’s resting.

    But Rocky can’t help but focus more on Grace as he rests. He just can’t; the way the human sleeps is, quite literally, otherworldly.

    Summary

    It's been years since Doctor Ryland Grace saved Erid and Earth. He is content with his life, happy just to teach the next generation of Eridians and have the occasional game night with Rocky and Adrian in his dome. For the most part, nothing changes.

    And that's the problem. Shouldn't Grace, y'know...age? When Rocky indicates that he should be sixty human years old by now, Grace can't reconcile the young face in the mirror with the time that his friend has religiously kept.

    Things get more complicated when another undoubtedly human ship shows up at the edge of the 40 Eridani system. Suddenly Grace is playing ambassador between the two species, and tensions are rising between them. Will this be a successful second contact, or is the peaceful life Grace just wants to live too much to ask for?

    Summary

    “...nope.” Grace pulled the quilt farther up on his shuddering body, then turned his back to him. “Nope- oh, no, no, absolutely not. Nope.”

    “For sci-encee,” Rocky whined, actually whined, practically pawing at the edge of the bed, and Grace whipped back to face him, eyes squinted in the dark.

    “I don't buy that, Rock.” Rocky wilted with the sentiment. God, he was pushy- and if Eridians could evolve to have puppy dog eyes, Grace was convinced Rocky would be at the forefront of that development. “Not for a second. Y’know, you’ve been-”

    “How will Rocky possibly know how to please, if no?”

    ---

    Doctor Ryland Grace feels as if he's being hunted. Rocky is very aware of Doctor Ryland Grace's feelings.

    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.

    Summary

    Humans, I decided a long time ago, are absurd. But the strangest thing about them, I think, isn’t their inclination to share meals together (disgusting) or their constant need for sleep. Not even their inability to properly speak. No, I decided long, long ago. The worst part about humans is their determination to throw themselves into places where they aren’t meant to be.

    (Or, Rocky thinks Grace is drowning. Unfortunately for Grace, he isn’t.)
