    Summary

    Mindy Park is rapidly realising that the first intelligent extraterrestrial to make contact with the human race thinks they’re fucking stupid. She’s pretty sure that Dr Grace isn’t accurately translating half the things Rocky is saying, but most of what he is telling her is that Rocky has a better way of doing what NASA wants them to do, and honestly, it seems like Rocky is mostly right. She probably doesn’t want to know what the other half of what Grace’s new alien friend is saying, if the things that are making it through what she’s calling the “middle school teacher filter” are “why would you do something the dumb way when you could do it the right way”.

    or,

    Mindy has a headache, Grace has trauma, Mark is confused and Rocky is wondering how humans made it in to space when they're all so, so dumb.

    Summary

    For three hours, he’s at the beach, takes off his socks and hikes Ilyukhina’s dress up, and stands in the water. He left the cane on the shore; it hurts to let his frame bear the brunt of gravity unsupported. The reliable tide, just cool enough to chill him a little, laps at his shins.

    He closes his eyes and tries to forget about himself, the familiar ache in his joints and spine. Allows himself to imagine something else.

    A different truth, a hypothetical, a thought exercise.


    Rocky can't bear to lose Grace. But he can bear to watch Grace wither away from a sickness easily cured by Earth medicine even less.

    Grace has to make another choice.

    Or: After thirteen years on Erid, Grace leaves his true home for Earth. Eva Stratt lives to see him return. Earth takes note of the changes.

    Summary

    "Speaking from a selfish perspective, I hope you stay. But, we also have another offer."

    Ryland looks down at his best friend, eyebrow raised. Curiosity pushes the burgeoning tightness enough for him to ignore. "Yeah? What's that, Rock?"

    "We can build onto the Hail Mary— a spaceship large enough to carry you, me, and other scientists. We go to Earth with you," Rocky trills. Ryland can't believe his ears. Rocky's carapace tilts in the way that means he's smiling. "We live on Earth, learn from the humans, and return in our own time."

    Summary

    What if Taumoeba never adapted to live inside xenonite, so Grace and Rocky both made it home, alone but safe and sound?

    Rocky arrives to rapturous fanfare. The Eridians get to work, not only on deploying the Taumoeba but on honoring the greatest hero... heroes in Erid history.

    18 years after the Hail Mary’s return, a listening post on Earth picks up a strong infrared signal from the fringes of the solar system. Humanity powers up its best Petrovascope and performs a sweep. It’s confirmed—a small blip, getting brighter and brighter.

     

    Or: the first interstellar "got home safe" text.

    Summary

    It was a truth universally acknowledged to all within Erebor and its surrounding lands that Dwalin and Nori of Thorin’s Company could not stand the sight of each other. They fought and bickered each and every time their paths crossed like a feral cat and a baited dog.
    But a truth slightly more obscured than that, lounging just to the left of what could be handily observed, was the notion that hate probably didn’t describe this at all.

    In which Thorin and Bilbo are hypocrites, Dwalin and Nori are oblivious, and the entire Company (plus Dís) are shipper trash.

    Or: the most ill-advised romance Erebor has ever seen, featuring all the gratuitous little Austen-isms you have always craved in a Hobbit fic!
    Half Nwalin, half Bagginshield.
