Summary
Ryland Grace is having A Week. First he is practically kidnapped from his place of work, sent into one of the finest labs he has ever been in, and told he is going to be first contact with an alien.
Except he's already been first contact with an alien. It's just that no one knows that.
Confused, curious, and with minimal supervision, Ryland Grace makes the breakthrough of the century. What he doesn't know is that he's about to become a part of something much bigger. In the process something he thought he lost will be found, and maybe if he can avoid making a mess of things, he will get to come home.

Summary
The engineer takes my hand. His skin runs hot. Very hot. He doesn't let go at what I would gauge as a socially-acceptable handshake time interval. Are we just holding hands in the middle of the lab-workshop space? Guess we are.
"I'm Rocky," he finally introduces himself. He has a hint of an accent, something lilting, melodic. I can't really place it.
"Rocky," I repeat, slowly. "Like the movies?"
"No," Rocky deadpans, giving me a look like I'm stupid. "Like the rocks."

Summary
I lived with this hunger long before the Hail Mary. This is nothing new. I’m fine.
Right up until Rocky asks another question.
“When last time you touch other human person skin, question?”
Oh. Oh no. “When I… a few days after I first woke up here.”
Rocky starts to relax for a split second, but then tightens when something occurs to him.
“Grace crewmates dead when you wake up. You said this, statement. You not even know your own name, remember nothing, see dead bodies, confirm?”
I nod, because if I open my mouth I will gag.
“When last time Grace touch ALIVE human person, question.”
I swallow thickly. I don’t answer aloud because I know Rocky can hear the hitch in my breath. My stomach churns with fresh bile. He senses my vital signs tick over into stress patterns and goes very, very still again.
“Grace. When last time, question.”
I clench my jaw so hard my temples ache, and beg him with my eyes to just stop.
“Grace. Please say not when… when Evil Stratt humans put you to sleep.”
I can taste grass.

AKA: Grace starves for more than just food on the journey to Erid.

Summary
Grace clings to the zenonite ball as tightly as he can, trying to trick his mind into believing that the smooth, warm surface was what it was after. That this hug shared between two species unable to coexist in the same environment is enough to satisfy his human instincts.
His skin prickles. The tears keep falling. It isn’t enough. And it will stay that way for as long as he is away from Earth.
A shudder runs through the man at this bleak thought, the ever-expanding pit in his chest feeling as though it’s swallowing up his entire being.
As if he heard the emotional casam split further, Rocky’s warbles take on a mournful croon. “Grace, tell Rocky what wrong. Please?”
Grace presses his tear-stained cheek against the warm surface, sighing miserably.
“I’m touch starved.”
Or... Grace's years of isolation from humans result in severe touch starvation. Rocky takes one look at this problem and says, "Hold my minerals."

Summary
After a minorly life-threatening incident aboard the Hail Mary, Grace can't sleep. Rocky takes the opportunity to indulge their...less than scientific curiosity about their leaky human friend's body. Non-sexual intimacy abounds.
How fragile this creature is, Rocky realizes. Its endoskeleton is so flimsy, and so far beneath the soft skin it should really be protecting. How easily injured. How malleable. How easily Rocky would be able to crush the tiny blood vessels (“capillaries”) near the surface, leaving marks that remain tender and sore and turn many colors (“bruises”). Humans etch things into their outer skin, sometimes, for decoration or religious reasons. They use tiny needles to embed colored pigments just below the surface, where it remains visible to other humans forever (“tattoos”). Rocky wonders if Grace has any tattoos. Rocky thinks about being embedded underneath Grace’s skin.

Summary
It’s gonna be a long trip.
When I finally found Rocky, stranded in the middle of nowhere, I thought I was going to die. I thought I was going to slowly starve to death. But when I banged on the Blip-A’s hull and suddenly heard Rocky's voice through the radio, it was the best moment of my life.
But, you know…. I am still, actually, going to starve to death. I hate it when reality sets in.
On the long trip to Erid, Rocky and Grace discover music together. But for Grace, the road gets harder and harder.

Summary
“Here? Here? Here?” He's not testing anymore. The little rascal has my body figured out and he goes for all my ticklish spots. Even through this new discovery, he's being careful not to hurt me.
“Get-” I choke out through bubbling laughter, “Get off!”
I try to push up, but he puts a limb on my back, pushing me down harder. I can't get up.
The laughter dies.
I can't get up.

Wonderful noise. by Liliput_and_stories_of_Sun_and_Moon

Summary
Rocky was used to the rhythm of the alien heart, two-part harmony that only changed up when his human was upset or sleeping. Its steady song followed him to sleep and greeted him with the first notions of consciousness. A small thing really, between all the foreign sounds his human makes at the regular, with all of his squishy meat and never-closing soundhole.
But he has grown to expect it nonetheless, a solid (if ever moving) point in the little space Grace called home. Even when his stupid human had the weird panic episodes, or got scared, it went faster, stronger, yes, but it was still Grace-sound, alive-sound, even if it did freak him out the first couple times.

Summary
The Eridians have finally gotten the water feature in Ryland's personal zoo enclosure just right (even if Rocky would like him to stop calling his dome that).
Rocky refuses to believe that humans naturally float. There is no way Ryland's entire species regularly goes into deep water for fun.

Summary
DAHLIA:
Oh, I see. You don’t want the truth—you want a story. I can give you that. I could give you the tragedy, if you like—the sad, lonely girl who never knew love, desperate for any drop of attention, who was twisted by circumstance into something ugly, something cruel. Or we could go down the easy route. We could play the one where I was just born wrong—the evil twin, the lesser half, the demoness with a black hole where her heart should be. The beast masquerading as beauty, hungry for blood from the very beginning. Which do you prefer?MIA:
Which one’s true?DAHLIA:
Oh, neither. Or maybe both. It’s just a matter of perspective.Bookmarked by ScienceDemon
