    Summary

    The more that I think about it, the more I believe in the small possibility that my unfertilized eggs may be safe for Grace to consume. It’s at least worth trying, I resolve, as I watch him cry himself to sleep for the fourth consecutive cycle. His stomach is constricting, growling loudly. He’s been unable to keep the coma slurry from resurfacing once again.

    I can detect his body shutting down. I decide I can't allow this to continue. I won't allow myself to sit by and watch idly as he dies in front of me, like so many others have before him.

    Unfortunately, there is only one method that I can use to procure Eridian eggs for Grace's consumption.

    Summary

    After the Taumoeba leak, after I decided to die after all and turned my ship around to save Rocky, after Rocky's frantic calculations about food supplies, Taumoeba multiplication rates, and human caloric intake needs, after we realized that with some rationing and luck I would make it, but that we were headed toward the unknown territory of trying to rapid-prototype me a life support system and synthetic food supply on an inhospitable planet: after all of that, after everything, I shouldn't have been surprised that it only took a few months on board the Hail Mary for things to get weird.

    Summary

    "Grace's body is alive despite every detail telling Rocky otherwise. His human is a cold and wet thing, yet there are biological pumps within his body that shuttle around heated blood no differently than in an Eridian. Rocky knows the blood within him is hot because he can hear its vibration, a static hum that accompanies all that produces heat. But what Rocky wants nothing more is to press his palms against Grace until he can feel it, that scant heat, that proof that he is in fact alive."

    Summary

    Ryland Grace wakes up in a small room alone, where the walls are wrong, his body is wrong, and there's a rock spider like nothing he's ever seen looming over him. He has no memory of how a middle school science teacher could've possibly ended up on an alien planet trillions of kilometers away from the nearest fellow human being- and yet these aliens seem determined to take good care of him.

    /

    The drug Grace was given to induce amnesia before going on the Hail Mary has unpredictable long-term side effects.

    Summary

    The elevator's receiver array picks up a garbage signal beamed in from deep space. No matter their attempts, Eridian scientists cannot make top or bottom of it. A misfire, or an echo of that long lost crew's final transmission, most likely. It is recorded, but never publicized.

    And then it happens again.

    Summary

    “I guess, um,” I say, licking my lips as I stall. When did my mouth get so dry? “I don’t know why, don’t ask me why, but… you’re… obviously a lot stronger than me, and I guess that… activated some part of my brain that’s… into that, I guess.” I wring my hands, fussing with the arms of my jumpsuit tied around my waist- anything to avoid looking up at Rocky. “It’s just… been a long time since I’ve, uh. Mated with anyone, on Earth, and I think I’ve just been a bit- frustrated, so my body’s just reacting to whatever it can. Don't- don’t get me wrong, I know it probably doesn’t make a lot of sense, I mean- you could literally crush me if you wanted to, but- for some reason, I… I guess it was just… exciting. To me.” I finish lamely.

    Rocky stares at me, as much as a being with no eyes and 360 degrees of echolocation ability can stare. I am acutely aware that he can hear every beat of my heart, every hitched breath. He can probably sense the pinpricks of sweat that bead on my forehead. I swallow, my heart hammering in my chest at the silence.

    Rocky finally tilts his carapace ever so slightly. “You are aroused by strength in mate, question?”

    Summary

    A series of short fics exploring Grace and Rocky's friendship, among other things. (Each chapter is its own story; I just wanted to have them all in one place.)

    Chapter 1: Rocky thinks humans are equally disgusting and cute. Somehow, through it all, Grace reminds him of home.
    Chapter 2: Rocky can pick Grace up easily, and Rocky thinks it is very funny. Rocky and Grace tease each other.
    Chapter 3: Eridians bring Grace their babies for him to see, and Grace learns about Eridian culture/religion. Grace is also bad at taking compliments.
    Chapter 4: Rocky makes Grace celebration jewelry. Later, Grace gets a similar gift from Adrian.
    Chapter 5: Grace and Rocky tease each other, and Rocky is introduced to the idea of throwing things at your friends. He decides that humans are odd, but maybe aren't all that bad.
    Chapter 6: Grace tries to convince Rocky to swim, but Eridians don’t typically like deep water because they are heavy and will sink/drown. Grace learns about some Eridian mythology.
    Chapter 7: Grace talks about the lack of support teachers have on Earth. Rocky is confused by this.

    [This has a limit, so new chapters will have their description at the beginning of the chapter instead]

    Summary

    "There is no point in any of this rumination. You are gone. You are nothing now but a muse, something that I can conjure upon command and listen. You are nothing more now than a lullaby, a prayer, a dissonant, augmented, ugly, beautiful melody."

    Rocky and Grace part ways for their respective planets. It should feel like a victory. It doesn't.

    Summary

    Come on in, come on in, Strattlanders, come in from the bitter, angsty cold. It’s a brutal world out there, filled with beautiful but tragic stories. So much heartbreak, so much loss, so many missed opportunities. But in here, it’s warm! Cozy up by the fire. Here, have a bowl of sour skittles and a colorful, cozy quilted blanket. Let’s throw aside reality and canon, and imagine a story where Eva and Ryland aren’t torn by a lab explosion (and Eva’s cold efficiency). Or where Eva doesn’t spend decades in jail. Maybe she gets a different ending. Maybe they work out their issues. We’ll find out soon! So take these two cups of warm, comforting coffee, and let’s begin…

    Summary

    "I knew I liked girls," Robin says, "because I wanted to kiss girls.”

    “Yeah. But how did you know it was more than the normal amount?”

    “…the normal amount,” she repeats.

    “Well, sure.” Steve scrubs a hand through his hair. “Everyone wants to kiss everyone a little bit, right? Like. How did you know it was more than the normal heterosexual amount?”

    Robin cannot believe she’s going to have to say this out loud. She glances around the empty store just to make sure no one has somehow teleported in during the last two minutes.

    “Steve. Steven. There is no normal heterosexual amount of wanting to kiss people of the same gender.”

    He crosses his arms. “Well, that can’t be right.”

    Summary

    “I will not apologize for speaking the truth,” the child says. “However, I regret if that truth has offended you.”

    “Jesus Christ, kid,” Jim mutters.

    “I am not offended,” Spock responds, as blandly as he is able. “I was remiss in casting such hasty judgment upon your guardian.”

    ”Father,” she corrects.

    ”Your father,” he agrees.

    *****

    An academy AU + Tarsus aftermath fic in which James T. Kirk ends up accidentally parentally bonded to an orphaned Vulcan child. When the father/daughter duo enroll in Star Fleet, hijinks ensue (mostly at the expense of Spock’s previously immaculate but quickly deteriorating self-control).

    Winner of the 2025 Philon Award for a novel-length fic (!!!)
