Summary
"Bring back an alien for me, okay?" Adrian choked through their cries.
Rocky tried to laugh. "Of course. Anything for my Adrian."
-
Adrian should have been more careful with their words. They knew Rocky had trouble with tones! Did he really spend half an Earth century in space trying to fulfill an impossible ask?

Summary
“Your life is very short, Saviour-Grace. The Elders have thrummed extensively about your future on Erid, and we offer you our most sacred of ceremonies.” He gestures to the xenonite-encased stones arrayed in front of him. “Are you aware of our creation myths?”
OR
In which Grace participates in a sacred Eridian ceremony that he's sure has no chance of actually working. It would be rude to refuse, after all. There's no way that it'll actually do anything to him...

Summary
"Rocky wear clothes.”
Ryland huffs out a laugh at that, bringing his hand down to rest on his knees to push himself back up to lean against the table, “ Well I can see that now ,but it's only for like special occasions or something right, kinda like our ceremonial uniforms back home, right ?”
A long silence followed.
“...No.”
“No?”
“No… All Rocky plural, wear clothes.”
The silence is so thick Ryland doesn't even think a knife could cut it.
He stares at Rocky, even though the alien doesn't have eyes. “ So you're a nudist…?”
OR
Rocky doesn't explain a very important cultural norm to Ryland.

Summary
Erid had lost hope of the crew they sent to space ever returning. And then they spot a different ship coming towards them and a pebble talking to them over the radio about how they and Rocky found the solution to the star-killer problem. Chaos, of course, ensues.
Aka. The Eridians assume Grace is a pebble.

Summary
Grace learns from his students that the Eridians have been gossiping about him and Rocky. What spurred these rumors? An upcoming opera about them that's being marketed as a love story. Before they can make a public statement denouncing it, the director makes them an offer: a private showing before the public release.

Summary
Grace flexes its jaw, shifts the marker towards one corner of its mouth, then removes the marker without actually consuming it. It makes a sharp pop as it leaves Grace's mouth, brightening the tubing in Grace's nose.
"I've got it reversed," Grace decides.
I unfreeze enough to let out a loud and pointed noise of disgust.
"Yeah, sorry buddy. This isn't exactly my wheelhouse."
Without acknowledging the aborted attempt to eat the marker, nor wiping it's digestive fluids off of it, Grace taps the square it paused over again.
"This is actually a second cousin," It says.
I decide not to ask.
-
Or: The road to Erid is long. Rocky spends it slowly figuring out what it means to be human, and how Grace muddles along through it.

Acting like a Pebble by Chantidy

Summary
In my thoughts, I recall that conversation about me being cute. Could I find Grace cute?
I focus on Grace for a split moment.
…
Then I went back towards my xenonite. Nah, full grown adult over there— despite being around 30 Earth years old, and if that were converted to Eridian math— that was very young. Pebbles could barely speak yet at that age. But this was an alien— a human we're talking about. Grown ass man.
Or so Rocky thought.
(5 times Rocky witnesses Grace acting like a pebble, and the 1 time Rocky acts like one himself. Featuring, a reunion between Rocky and Adrien!
This work was inspired by multiple artworks on Tumblr. Rated teen for sailor mouth Rocky.)

Summary
On their way back to Erid, Rocky and Grace discover a mysterious box. Upon opening it, the two discover some strange changes. Well, perhaps way more than strange.
Rocky finds a new marking on his arm similar to Grace's scar, and Grace finds markings similar to Rocky's on his arms and legs.
Rocky begins to dream and can easily wake from sleep, and Grace can stay up for much longer than a normal human should.
Grace starts seeing sound when it's too dark to properly see, and Rocky starts seeing pops of colour in his sound vision.
Neither can understand what's happening to them and how they're seemingly linked together, but they know there's nothing in the world that could tear them apart.
(TLDR: This fic will include almost everyone's favourite things! Rocky learns about how Grace got on the Hail Mary (Including Rocky witnessing the memory of Grace being sent on the Hail Mary)! Grace can survive in Rocky's atmosphere! Grace will live as long as Rocky! Rocky and Adrian reuinite and Adrian meets Grace! Grace will get to go back to Earth with Rocky (for a bit and then go back to Erid)! Grace will get to confront and get closure with Stratt! Fanart included!)

Summary
“Don’t let the blood get into your ship, okay?”
That made Grace pause. “What?!”
“If I die, you have to get my body out of here,” the man pleaded, but Grace had to go. His oxygen was out. The guy would be dead in six minutes. “You have to get me out, even if I’m dead. Hey!”
“Just hold on!” Grace propelled himself through zero gravity, away from the radio.
“Don’t leave me here-!” The roar echoed through the ship halls.
---
When Ryland Grace complained about being a little bored, maybe a little lonely, he thought a nostalgic trip around Erid would fix him right up. The last thing he expected was to find deadly space bacteria in deep space and a human. Alive.

Summary
Simon didn’t expect his savior to be exactly his type.
What a welcome sight. Even if this stupidly handsome man ends up being evil, or working for the C.O.I, at least he’d die looking at something good.
or
Grace and Rocky find Simon's ship floating in deep space on their way to Erid.
UPDATE: This fic has been peer reviewed by a NASA engineer who has approved of the science!

Summary
Simon died. Eaten and consumed by the Blood Eel. Not until he wakes up in a place called Erid where sentient rocks live and a guy who can’t seem to wear his glasses the right way.
OR
Simon gets thrown into Project Hail Mary because he deserves to be taken care of after the ending in Iron Lung. (basically, in other words. Simon and Grace act stupid, made everyone in Erid their spectators of their stupidity)

Summary
"Ryland Grace was not a brave man.
Curious? Yes.
Cocky? Definitely.
Kind? Sure.
But he was not brave.
Yet when Mary hailed a message to him and Rocky whilst they were in the “Don’t go crazy” VR room; “Blip E on radar, Dr. Grace.” Of course he had to be brave and check it out. As he and Rocky raced towards the cockpit, they looked towards the camera, and the sight caught all the words Grace wanted to say in his throat.
A submarine. A human-looking submarine."

Summary
It should be a coffin. Even if this submarine-thing was lead-lined, it should be a death sentence. But there is a heartbeat. There’s a life force inside and it is human.
Miraculously, impossibly human.Less than a year after Grace has landed on Erid; they find a ship. Broken and beaten and left for dead on a moon covered in strange oceans, came a heartbeat. A human. Who they bring back to the only other person for light years. Hopefully the stranger survives.
Grace swears they will.A yap fest, let me warn you: it’ll get worse before it gets better. But it WILL get better. Updates will come as they do
