    Summary

    Distantly, Grace recognizes what he's experiencing is either impossible or has already happened -- but it doesn't make the nightmare any easier to process. The science behind dreaming and nightmares is easy to explain to an Eridian. The emotional turmoil that comes with it is...not so much.

    Summary

    “Grace!” Rocky says. “Look!”

    I look. Then I gasp.

    “Is Adrian!” Rocky says.

    (or, what happens once Ryland Grace becomes the sole human inhabitant of Erid.)

    Summary

    Mica handled a lot of unpredictable situations in their job as an emergency hatchling guardian. It came with the territory – there were all kinds of reasons a pebble too young to be alone might need watching by someone who wasn’t a cluster member. But Mica had never had a situation like the call they received from the space science cluster.

    “Engineer Rocky is on that ship, apparently injured, and he’s brought back some kind of alien with him. It’s very young, only IIVI years old, it doesn’t have any of its own kind, but it learned some Eridian from Engineer Rocky. Can you come and watch it while Engineer Rocky recovers and we work out what it needs?”

    or, Grace gets babysat by an Eridian.

    Summary

    After four years of space travel, Grace and Rocky are finally approaching Erid. Grace has been working hard to learn Eridian, but two days out, disaster strikes - his keyboard is broken and Rocky is hurt.

    Luckily, Grace can speak some very basic Eridian with his single set of vocal cords. Unfortunately, he sounds like a newly hatched baby Eridian when he does.

    Summary

    It's going to be a long trip back to Erid. I'm trying to make it as easy on Rocky as I can.

    (Or: Grace is wrong about what Eridians need, and he's especially wrong about why. )
