    Summary

    What would being Eridian be like?

    Not being able to see, no eyes, no mouth, no face. Living for hundreds of years longer than any human. Walking freely around the alien planet you've been living on. Speaking with other Eridians properly. Teaching your students more effectively. Being able to touch other living things…

    Grace's breath hitches at that thought.

    or

    Grace gets to be an Eridian so he can hug Rocky properly (and not die!)

    (fic name comes from the Phoebe Bridgers song "I know the end" -a really great song highly recommended <3 )

    @ziplocmags on twitter: “shortly pre-launch adrian gives rocky an egg-shaped carving as a reminder to come back safe to them so they can start a family once their sun heals and rocky has given that imaginary pebble a thousand different lives over the years and years and years he was alone.”

    Summary

    "What is this?" Adrian asked because what else could be done?

    "My friend— Grace" they replied as if it were obvious.

    When Adrian didn't respond they spoke again, "He helped me save the stars."

    "It's dying," Adrian told them— softly, gently.

    "No," they stomped a foot, even the thought angering them. "He will be okay, he is hungry— makes him weak. That's all."

    Summary

    “Grace, question?”

    I perk up at the sound of Rocky's voice. It's not uncommon after almost two years into our trip to Erid to ask random questions about me, or humans, or really earth in general. Especially after an hour or two on his computer.

    “Yes Rocky?”

    “Humans persistence predators, question? Humans hunters, question?”

    “Ah.”
