    Summary

    He cannot believe how enticing the idea is to go from being a degree-holding microbiologist expected to know everything to just some random hook-up tripping out of a trailer on a film set with crooked glasses.

    or, after being fired, Ryland needs a break... so, he goes to visit his brother on set and realizes he needs something else too.

    Summary

    Grace breathes in sharply at the fantasy, letting his hips rise a little. The quiet pleasure is starting to grow inside of him. Just a twinge in the muscles, but it's making his shoulders relax for real. The quiet is coming into his mind, too. Slowing him down so that his breaths can overtake his thoughts. Clear out the clutter and settle down into a dark nest of uncomplicated sensation.

    "What Grace doing, question?"

    Grace tries to take care of his body's needs alone, but an interruption by Rocky reveals the eridian knows exactly what Grace has been hiding from him. Now Rocky wants to help Grace with his "ritual", and begins to obsesses over this foreign concept of pleasurable body stimulation. There's absolutely no way their individual needs and trauma will get tangled up in the complexities of human sexuality, right?

    Summary

    "So I said, maybe I should just go fuck my very best friend chime-breaking-through-the-silence Savior of Erid Grace and Adrian said, it's not like you asked for my permission before, and I said, if you distrust me this much maybe we should break this whole mateship off, and they said, if that makes you feel better about fucking the wet flesh blob alien then maybe we should, all you've done since you came back is talk about the alien and spend time with the alien and ignore me in favor of the alien and blackmail dozens of people who have more important things to do into taking care of the alien for you even though it's going to die soon, and I said, Grace is not going to die soon! And then I came here."

    "Right," I said weakly. "Of course you did."

    After yet another argument with Adrian, Rocky goes back to Grace, who he knows has been in love with him for years, and makes a choice.

    Summary

    Teacher Grace cried some more. Engineer Music-Suggesting-Foundations-of-Home was quite used to it doing this, and waited patiently for it to stop.

    “It is Earth culture,” it confessed, even damper than before. “Males are not permitted to remove their own sperms. Only female humans may do that, and only to the males they own. I have never belonged to a female, so it is always painful for me.” Fluids gushed from its nose and mouth in a pitiful fashion.
    -Extract from “Untitled StarShipping Fill 2”, Secretive-Pornographer (a pseudonym), Speculative Xenobiology [zine]. 15762.
    ____
    Someone tries to copyright a trope found in RPF about Grace. Meanwhile, Erid is sending a cultural exchange vessel to Earth.

    Summary

    He wets his lips anxiously, putting his hands in front of him in defence. “Tom, can you, uhm, can you just tell me why you’re here, please? I’m really confused. I don’t understand why—I don’t understand what’s going on.”

    Tom smiles at him, his brow creasing momentarily like he’s concerned for Grace—as though he doesn’t understand Grace’s obvious fear. “Aw, c’mon, it’s not that confusing. I’m here to take you home.” He laughs. “Well, your new home, obviously.”

    Summary

    Blackmail. Illegal porn. Undercover at a gay bar. The Nice Guys sure are at it again.

     

    “Porn? I can throw a rock in this neighborhood and I’m gonna break the window of a porn store.”

    March gestured anxiously, waiting for the other shoe to drop.

    Healy paused. “Ohhhhh. The nasty stuff. Whips and handcuffs. Girls and animals.”

    “Close,” March said, grimacing. He really, really didn’t want to have to explain this. “Think more like…. Disco.”

    “Disco?” Healy raised an eyebrow. “What, like the queer music? You think the back room of that store is full of porn for… For disco fans.” He nodded thoughtfully a couple of times. “And you’re an expert about this?”

    For a second the whole world went white around the edges and March thought he might pass out. He was too sober for this conversation. What exactly had Healy noticed that morning, how obvious exactly had his full-body reaction to Healy’s hand on his neck been? “I was a happily married man!” March said, and as soon as it came out of his mouth he knew it was wrong. Too fast, too high-pitched, too loud.

    Incriminating.

    Summary

    Grace’s discomfort with Dr. Devon Hale was a slow, creeping thing. Because on the surface, she was a perfectly nice woman. She worked under Dr. Lamai on the coma bed technology, was tall and imposing with long brown hair and a symmetrical face that others categorized as “pretty”—which Grace only knew because he'd overheard some lab techs comment on it one day. He never had the eye for that kind of thing.
    One of the scientists on Stratt’s Vat likes Dr. Grace, and she doesn’t understand when he says no.

    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.

    “But you said you didn’t have a word for – for forcing someone into reproduction?”

    No. Is different, but equivalent violation. Means, to force to sleep.

    Or, Dr. Ryland Grace has yet to confront the choices taken from him. Eridian norms, ironically enough, force the issue.

    Summary

    Sometimes, when he was alone and the silence was loud enough to amplify his thoughts, he could admit that he feared it. Feared touch. Feared sex. Feared intimacy and all it implied.

    ‘No’ had never meant anything when he was small.

    Why would it mean anything now?

    Summary

    His ears are suddenly ringing. Three bourbons in and he can feel that warm weight settling low in his gut as he looks up at his friend and hopes the smile is welcoming. James knows it’s probably more than welcoming: slow and lazy, an invitation his friend won’t ever take, but. Sometimes he slips.

    At least 75 percent of the world is in love with Ryan Gosling. James doesn’t bother to lie to himself about whether he’s part of that category.

    Summary

    “Who complained about you eating, question?” Someone must’ve said something. He’s had so many visitors in the last couple of days. Who was it? Grace has never questioned this part of himself. Grace huffs at me.

    “No one! I’m just trying to be polite! Eridians have special soundproof eating rooms, shouldn’t I?”

    “You are not Eridian!”

    He doesn’t need to meet our standards; he’s his own species! Some things he might need to change in his daily life to adapt to Erid life, but his food habits don’t need to be one of them. My words don’t comfort Grace like I thought they would. Grace shrinks into himself, and I wish I were on his side to hug him.

    or the Entities provide Grace with a culture teacher to prepare for life on Erid and he gets his first taste of Eridian inhospitality.

    Summary

    “Grace safe now,” Rocky repeated. “Grace safe with Rocky.”

    Of course he was safe here -- or as safe as an untrained astronaut could be on a jury-rigged ship rocketing through deep space on a mission he only half understood with his alien best friend, anyway. But there had been a time…

    He wasn’t ready to say it out loud. Not yet. Maybe not ever. But part of him was sure he’d experienced… something. Something worse than being held down, sedated, and then forced into a suicide mission. Something really bad. Something unspeakable.

    (Grace has nightmares. He starts to piece together what happened to him before he left academia.)

    Summary

    Grace is always asking me about my mate. “What was he was like when he was young? How did you both meet? What does he act like when I’m not around?” Slightly invasive, personal questions, all of which I find myself answering without hesitation.

    I try to hold back my excitement. It becomes rather clear to me that “best friends” must mean something slightly different for humans.

    “Grace ever make love with other humans on Earth, question?” Rocky asks one morning when they’re just finishing up a modest breakfast in the Hail Mary dormitory.

    Ryland nearly spits out his mouthful of pb&j but valiantly manages to swallow. “Why are you asking me this right now, dude?” he asks, voice still thick with peanut butter stuck to the roof of his mouth. “No lead-in or anything, jeepers creepers.”
