    Summary

    “They kept asking questions that had nothing to do with Quinn’s performance.” I roll my eyes and notice that I’m getting worked up again. Trying to get the midnight blue Eridian back on track had been a nightmare and I’d almost lost my composure a couple of times. “Just what I like to do and what I’ve seen of Erid so far and if they can give me a tour once my suit is finished. And they insisted I tell them what my favorite type of mineral is. I mean, why would they want to know that? What does that have to do with how their kid is doing in class?”

    Midway through my rant Rocky has stopped carding his claw through my hair. He is silent for a few seconds and I’m just about to ask him if he’s alright when his whole body starts to tremble. It alarms me enough that I wiggle my arms underneath me and lift my upper body off the couch. 

    “Rock?”

    But then the trembling morphs into full on shaking and then laughter so loud and shrill that I have to cover my ears.

    **********

    Erid's first ever parent teacher night does not quite go according to plan.

    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.

    Summary

    Iskandar is back in Waver's life in London, and with him Waver's life changes.

    In the spirit of why I'm drawn to their relationship, it's a bit of everything. From goofy, silly comic relief to deeper discussions, honesty, and some of the waxing philosophical we all put up with from time to time in Zero, my goal was to encompass their relationship, all the fun but all the serious notes I could. Bonus: some cameos of Waver's students!

    -~-

    ‘Boyfriend’ wasn’t the right word. It was flimsy, casual. It felt too light for the permanent, heavy mix of emotions in his soul regarding Iskandar. Servant and master turned king and subject- yet also friends with the previous push and pull of a mentor and student relationship. It was all too much to pin down, even ten years after losing Iskandar and having him back again. Their physical relationship had started soon after he’d brought Iskandar back, half embraces and close proximity turning to kisses and close hugs. What Greek definition of love resided inside him? It had been about a month and he still didn’t know.

    “Teach me,” Enkidu said simply, smiling slightly when Gilgamesh turned his head to look at him. “I would learn you.”

    “You mean you would learn from me,” Gilgamesh corrected with a smile.

     "That too,” Enkidu said, rising up and turning onto his side.

    Enkidu can’t fall asleep indoors. Gilgamesh has a solution for that.

    “I’m sorry, I think your name’s slipped my mind?” Elle says, beaming up at the guy. Her sentence is punctuated by Bruiser’s growl breaking into a sharp flurry of barks, and Elle looks down in surprise. “Bruiser! I’m sorry, he usually has much better manners than this. Don’t you, boy?”

    “He probably recognises me from court,” the tall cute guy says, holding out a hand for Elle to shake. “Sam Winchester. I’m with the prosecution.”

    Summary

    He sees them round the corner, Rocky's brown and green carapace leading ahead of a larger Eridian. They were a gradient of blues and greens, the colors reminded him of turquoise, or maybe jade, and had spots of warm black dotted around their form. They had a splotch of brown on one their arms, mirroring the one he has seen on Rocky.

    "Grace!" Rocky bounds over, the other Eridian swiftly coming with him. "Grace meet Mate Adrian. Adrian meet Friend Grace."

    It really is them Grace thinks, giddy with joy.

    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

    For a whole year, Marissa has been preoccupied with the sun. Ever since she learned its luminosity was decreasing on that fateful Thursday, she’s become obsessed with addressing the issue the best she can while working at the Department of Energy sponsored Berkeley Lab in California. So when Eva Stratt offers her the chance to make a difference in the fight against global cooling, it only takes her a moment to agree.

    She didn’t mean to drag her old friend Ryland Grace into it though. At least being the sidekicks of the de-facto world dictator is a little more pleasant with someone familiar around.

    An AU where Grace’s grad school friend Marissa from the novel is brought onto the Petrova Taskforce. More of an exploration of character dynamics and the need to hold onto what makes us human in the face of a crisis than dealing with the butterfly effect. Mostly book canon but I was inspired to add a few things from the movie too. Also featuring an extremely generous helping of artistic liberty since canon Marissa has very little characterization.

    Summary

    "Sakura smiles and leans in to the touch—she still treats Aoi’s affection as an ephemeral thing.

    This causes Gilgamesh no end of gnawing vexation, whenever he sees it. It clashes with Aoi’s very existence as a warm-hearted, peaceable person. (And yet, Sakura’s 'adoption' is never far from his mind—both parents had to agree to it, after all.) He wonders if this is the price of being in a Mage family; you receive power at the expense of leaving the warmth of affection behind."

    The Fifth Holy Grail War begins far earlier than expected, putting the Tohsaka sisters and their summoned Kings to the test. Sequel to "A Forming Bond".
