Summary
"There are people who need your help there. They don’t know it yet, and will likely try their very best to get rid of you. But they need you. If you don’t help, their world will end, and then countless others will be affected when they attempt to fix it. If you intervene now, this can all be prevented. And hey, if you fix it, you can go back to Arkham! The apocalypse is due for them in just a few years. If you stop it in time, you can return to the home you want so badly in no time at all!” The Manager begins to laugh slightly, quickly suppressing it into a quiet chuckle.
Arthur sighed in resignation. “Okay. What do we have to do?”
“What? Oh, I have no idea. Figure it out! That’s what you’re good at, right?”
***
AU where Arthur and John are sent to help out at the Magnus Institute in season one instead of back to Arkham. Nobody is impressed by this situation, except maybe Tim.

i'll keep you warm and you'll keep me sane by AruiI

Summary
Jesus, my back.
I pause, gasping for breath — I'm genuinely sweating. And embarrassed. I wonder if Rocky can hear me losing to a slab of wood.
God, I hope he can't. Please God.
It's stuck behind a few empty crates and some miscellaneous spare lab supplies. A few beakers. A blender, for some reason. An ironing board. Why? Because go to hell, Ryland Grace, that's why. You can't have enough fuel to come back but you can have an ironing board with no iron. Here's two kilos of cement-flavoured coma slurry. Kill yourself.
"I'm being dramatic," I tell myself aloud.
I'm really not. Dying in space is a very dramatic situation.
The ways that Rocky and Grace miss everything all the time, yet watch over each other, always.

Summary
It had been a long and difficult 27 years since the Hail Mary had launched. Not as terrible as it could have been, but not easy. Humanity had survived and adapted, as it always did. There had been terrible wars. There had been incredible acts of kindness. There had been massive scientific breakthroughs. And now, there were two distant blips of Petrova-light, picked up by the Deep Space Network, hurtling home. Two probes, braking hard as they hurtled toward Earth holding the secrets to its salvation. They were late, or at least, not very early, but they were here.
Grace may have made his peace with dying to save Rocky, but Rocky insists they return to Earth.

Summary
“Name is ♪♫♬♪♪♫. They analyze eridians, and their behaviours. How they live, what they like. They want to do this with Grace, too, like the doctors, but differently. Talk to Grace the Person, not the Human”
“An anthropologist,” I realize. “I think that’s what you mean." Apparently, he likes my word, because he doesn't push further.
chat, it was not an anthropologist
or; One would think that not being in a life threatening situation would be enough to start taking life a little more easy. Landing on Erid was supposed to be his happy ending. It's not as simple as that.

Summary
"Grace sad, not good. I fix."
"… Um. How?" I ask. "Oh, God, please don't make me a human-shaped robot to hug. That would be so creepy."
"No robot," Rocky promises.
(Or: Grace was touch-starved even before he left Earth. Rocky attempts to fix.)
