    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

    By our stars and saving grace,
    save us from this deep dark place.

    When you've been in darkness for too long, you tend to grab onto the first light you see. Sometimes that light happens to be an alien from a society light-years away from your own, and he happens to be exactly what you were looking for all along.

    Summary

    "Is there a reason why you're so adamant about getting a human body?" Grace asks in exasperation. "I mean, what exactly do you want to do if you have one?"

    Rocky pauses in his building. Then, with a sound that seems closer to a chuckle than a laugh, he says, "guess."

    ***

    Grace doesn't really know how he gets himself into situations like these.

    But as long as Rocky remains interested in only him, then Grace is fine with fulfilling his curiosities about human sex.

    Right?

    Right?

    Summary

    Ryland Grace is, against all odds, alive. He's living a lavish life on Erid with all the me-burgers he can eat and more probing (not like that!) scientists than he could have ever imagined. He's a teacher again, he's got beachfront property, and he's known as Savior Grace to a planet of aliens. Life is good.

    Rocky is, against all odds, alive. After over half an century (always Earth units!) away from home, he's more than ecstatic to be back. His star is brightening, his mate waited for him, and all of Erid loves him. Any request he has is almost instantly fulfilled. Life is good.

    So why are neither of them happy?

    Summary

    Three years after the probes carrying Taumoeba and Dr. Ryland Grace's final message arrive on Earth, humanity launches an interstellar spaceship with a brand new mission. Thirty-six crew members (including two graduates of a certain San Franciscan junior high school) travel to the star 40-Eridani to make friendly contact with the Eridians and bring them the alien life form from Tau Ceti-E that can save their star if Dr. Grace's sacrifice failed.

    Grace, now fifty-seven years old, is just trying to balance his life as a teacher while no longer being the only human on the planet anymore. It's a big adjustment, but Rocky and the Terra's Grace crew are going to make sure he's well taken care of.

    Summary

    “Wow, this is so… And what happened to those soldiers? Eridians from frontlines? I gather they had some sort of severe case of PTSD then.”

    “They died.”

    “I beg your pardon?”

    This.

    This is clearly some mistake in the translation. Has to be.

    -

    On a long jorney to Erid Grace and Rocky decide to deal with traumatic nature of Eridian's experience in space. They do it with talks, singing, gossiping and dancing.

    I just thought there is a lot of works about Rocky helping Grace to deal with heavy emotional stuff, there should be one where Grace supports his friend also!

    Summary

    Adrian’s below us. A beautiful swirl of greens. With a view like that, I can only stay a little mad at it with the little “almost killed us” fiasco. Unfamiliar constellations and the arm of the Milky Way fill the rest of my view. I start panning my view closer to Tau Ceti when I spot it.

    It’s another Hail Mary.

    Grace and Rocky come across a parallel duo. (Multiverse / Human!Rocky and Eridian!Grace AU.)

    Summary

    “This okay?” Simon muttered, the vibrations from his words rippling across Grace’s stomach.

    “Yes… yes I just…” Grace struggled to catch his breath. “This was not how I was expecting tonight to go.”

    Simon paused his kisses. “How did you see this going?”

    “I don’t know. We would… talk about it?”

    “Do you want to talk instead?”

    Grace couldn’t even remember what he wanted to say. Actually, there were no words that described what he wanted. “No. No, keep going.”
    -----
    Or Eridians find Simon's submarine while spreading Astrophage to the galaxy and bring him back to Erid. Grace has to change his normal routine to help this new human adjust to life. Slowly, they get to know one another, despite Simon potentially being a war criminal from a moon with an ocean full of blood. But there's just something else about Simon that Grace can't shake, and he's pretty sure Simon feels it too...

    Summary

    Grace and Rocky arrive at Erid. While Grace is more than happy to be one-step further from death, he has yet to confront his very human brain about it. Memories of his time on earth, near-death experiences in space, and being suddenly surrounded by giant alien spiders is a recipe for disaster. Luckily, Rocky is there to help him every step of the way.

    or

    The Eridians have a lot to learn about their new alien roomate.

    Summary

    Grace has been on Erid for about six months. Things have quieted down. Grace isn’t as sick anymore. He’s eating normally, mostly healed, and not actively dying. Rocky doesn’t need to spend every waking moment with him. Rocky can actually resume living a normal life. Grace doesn’t need Rocky, anymore.

    Grace has severely underestimated how much he needs Rocky.

    Or: What happens when a very codependent Grace tries to separate himself from his best friend, Rocky? Who, by chance, also happens to be very codependent?

    Oh, right. And he’s in love with Rocky. And he doesn’t know it yet.

    Davenport, beginning to end.

    "Though my soul may set in darkness, it will rise in perfect light;
    I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night."
