    Summary

    Grace and Rocky survived the trip to Erid. Now, all Grace has to do is live on a planet meant to kill him, charm his best friend's mate, and figure out why all these Eridians keep giving him rocks. Easy right? As long as he doesn't die of scurvy, first.

    Summary

    "Many stages in Eridian reproductive process. Rocky Adrian laying cycles finally sync up recently. So, Rocky Adrian think finally time for eggs. Adrian lay five eggs, very good. Only, strange thing happen. Rocky only lay one egg."

    “Oh,” I say. “That’s unusual, right?”

    "Very," Rocky hums.

    My throat tightens. "Does that mean there's something wrong? Are you sick?"

    Rocky makes a gesture I usually interpret as "not exactly". "Not sick," he says. "But doctors still worry. When Eridian start to make fewer eggs, this usually means laying period of life is over soon. Rocky very young for this. Rocky supposed to be in ideal time of life for laying. Rocky younger than Adrian, even." He shifts on three of his feet. Already, my mind is racing ahead, wondering -- "Doctors told Rocky to ask Grace, is this radiation side effect, question?"

    Summary

    In a universe where your lost belongings apear with your soulmate for safekeeping, Ryland Grace receives very few objects from his soulmate—but he treasures every single one of them.
    The only thing keeping Rocky sane during his years stranded in space are the strange trinkets that appear around him from his soulmate. He is endlessly grateful for them finally appearing, now he would like to figure out what those things are; he desperately needs the distraction from his dead crew and the crushing silence of space.

    Summary

    “Grace! Studies by this university say journaling can improve mental AND physical health! Amaze!”
    I didn’t have the heart to tell him just how ineffective journaling had been for me the last thousand times therapists recommended it back on Earth. I’m more than happy to play along if it makes him feel better, though. Especially if it means he spends time with the people he hasn’t seen in 50 years. I don’t want to be the reason he doesn’t get things done.

     

    Grace is still recovering & Rocky has responsibilities on Erid. It sure would suck if Rocky happened to read Grace's diary...

    Summary

    Grace and Rocky set sail for Erid and unpack all their emotional baggage along the way.

    When you're stuck in a tin can for almost four years, it's rarely smooth sailing. But, hey! At least your best friend is there to call you an idiot, and you're almost certainly going to die when you reach your destination!

    Summary

    As he stared down into the lumpy grey goop that was his evening rations, he contemplated whether it was really worth it.

    They’d come a very long way just for Grace to give up and die at the last hurdle, both physically and emotionally. The Tau Ceti system was a long, long way away now, and Grace had faced not one but two highly emotional suicide missions. Three, if you counted the time before he was given a military grade roofie and hucked into space without his memories.

     

    Rocky and Grace make it back to Erid! Huzzah!
    Now they have to navigate all of... that.

    Summary

    “Um, hello.” Rocky lifts a hand slowly. The rock spider chitters and attempts to lift one back. But it’s tangled in wire, and the force that the alien uses to tug it free sends his body reeling backwards and thumping against the side of the tunnel. Rocky tries to keep a straight face.

    “I’ll call you Grace,” he says. “Clearly you have plenty of it.”

    ...

    Rocky wakes up in the Tau Ceti system, with his commander and science specialist dead. How's he supposed to save Earth?

    Befriend the alien scientist he runs into, of course.

    Summary

    Ship Engineer ‘Rocky’ of the B.L.I.P.-A knows that he’s going to die in Tau Ceti, he's known since the day that he joined the taskforce as their chief mathematician and engineer. That hasn’t stopped him from holding out all alone in his ailing ship, trying desperately to complete the mission on his own.

    God willing, of course. Earth is doomed if he doesn’t.

    So, when an alien astrophage-powered craft from another star comes into view, his only hope is that this is the Hail Mary that he has been praying for his entire life.

    Summary

    You are profoundly alone. You have been for a while. Suddenly, you aren't anymore, and you are struggling to be normal about it. Pooling strengths and weaknesses with the strange creature on its explosive-atmosphere ship might just be the only way to save both of your stars, but it might also lead to more than just strictly scientific discoveries, and neither of you are sure how to feel about that.

    Summary

    The thing is, Grace longs for connection. He wants to have a partner, and he wants to be close to them in every way possible. But he’s not sure if he can even feel love the way most people do. He’s not even sure he’s ever been in love before. Maybe he was, but it was so different from how other people would describe it that there’s not even a point in labelling it that. Maybe it’s just… admiration? Respect? He genuinely doesn’t know.

    Is he allowed to call it love?

    Summary

    After a hundred years, Rocky had fallen unconscious and awoken to absolutely no change so many times now, he had almost gotten used to the idea that nothing would ever change again. He was trapped in purgatory, an endless, dayless, soundless loop of nothing nothing nothing nothing nothing.

    Until one day, he was saved.

    Rocky's pov of finding Grace, losing him, and finding him again.

    Summary

    I hated how silent the house was without him. Earlier in my life I would have said I hated superfluous noise. That was before the UNESCO conference and my downfall and subsequent rebuilding of an entire existence. Before Rocky bulldozed his way into my life.

    I could say then, after 3 years of dating and 2 of marriage, that I just hadn’t found noise I liked before him.

    - Or -

    Grace adores seeing his husband be successful in his career. He loves the work trips a lot less.
    Now Rocky is being sent out of town for three weeks and Ryland is dealing with it as best he can.

    Summary

    "Thanks for your hard work as always.” I give him a thumbs up that he returns.

    (Of course it's actually a thumbs down.)

    “No need to thank. We both work hard to stop astrophage from eating stars.”

    I nod. It’d be two hundred years before Earth and Erid would see the real effects of the stars dimming. I’d be long dead. But for the Eridians, that was only a fourth of their life span. Though if everything goes according to plan, we’ll have a solution figured out way before it gets to that point.

    Summary

    "Are you another teacher here?"

    "Uh, yeah! I teach science for 6th and 8th grade. What about you?"

    "Amaze, amaze. I teach in technology wing. Robotics."

    "You new?"

    "Yes. Just traveled here few days ago. Applied for job. Got job."

    "Cool."

    A strange new teacher is hired at Grover Cleveland Middle, and so far, Mr. Grace has heard more gossip than he's heard during his entire 7 years of teaching. He's friendly, but awkward and offputting to the point where people are starting to think he's not human.

    An alternate universe where most of the cast are members of the school staff, and Rocky is the weird new teacher who most definitely isn't pretending to be a human to hide from the government officials at NASA trying to study him.

    Summary

    "Do not," Grace warns weakly, already knowing it’s too late.

    "I married a scientist," Rocky says solemnly. "A brilliant man. A perceptive man."

    "If you keep talking I will throw myself out of this car."

    " — There is no one else I want to be with but Dr.Grace, even when hes being very very obtuse —"

    "Thats not even a good usage of that word! And Ill make you sleep on the couch!"

    " — And hes a man I'd love to have kids with."

    What better way is there to fluster your husband than to pick him up in an expensive car in front of his students? Why, bringing up the idea of having kids in said car of course.
