    Summary

    Ryland Grace is the first human to ever live on an exoplanet, and this was not an eventuation that was planned for.

    This post-canon fic follows the teething issues of life on Erid: alien engineering and mechanics, the eventual sequelae of malnutrition, and the psychological effects of being very, very far from human touch.

    Despite all this, Dr. Grace might just be the only human alive who feels more at home in the company of aliens than he ever did on Earth.

    No-one is quite sure what to do with that.

    Summary

    Changed or not, five limbs or four, she had a mission to do. Billions of people were counting on her, trillions of life forms. So long as she had breath in this fucked up body of hers, she would not rest until she saved the Earth or died trying. And then died after. Only heroes got the heroin overdose.

    Or

    Ilyukhina and Yáo were not buried in space, but on Erid, along with the crew of the Blip-A. For reasons beyond their understanding, they both wake back up, but something is seriously wrong with them. And why isn't Grace among them?

    Summary

    After Earth fixes the Sun, they send a manned mission to Erid to say hello. The crew doesn't expect to find Ryland Grace still alive and kicking - least of all Dr. Olivia Nelson, who just so happens to be one of his final students on Earth. Olivia, who was just expecting to do some cool extraterrestrial science, now has to reorient her life around that fact.

    Or: a story about a teacher and the student who followed his comet's trail into the stars.

    Summary

    "Grace sad, not good. I fix."

    "… Um. How?" I ask. "Oh, God, please don't make me a human-shaped robot to hug. That would be so creepy."

    "No robot," Rocky promises.

    (Or: Grace was touch-starved even before he left Earth. Rocky attempts to fix.)

    Summary

    Sleeping is so much easier with Rocky around. Well… maybe not necessarily easier, but… better?

    Before I met Rocky, I mostly just felt too awful all the time to get much rest. And after we parted ways, the nightmares that had been taunting me on and off started coming with a vengeance. The nightmares aren't gone now, of course. But it's better.

    (or: "nights" on the hail mary)
