    Summary

    Grace is a pebble. An alien pebble, but a pebble nonetheless. Rocky and Adrian know they're the only ones suitable for caring for said pebble. Said pebble has yet to get the memo. In unrelated news, Ryland Grace has a headache.

    Summary

    Rocky knows that Grace is considered an adult for his species, but his hindbrain goes crazy when he finds out he’s in his 30s. So that’s why he’s been feeling weirder than normal. His alpha instincts think Grace is a pebble.

    Or,
    What if Eridians had ABO dynamics and humans didn't? (Gen ABO dynamics | Non-sexual heats/ruts)

    Now with a second chapter feat. Adrian!

    Summary

    Once Rocky learned that Grace can whistle, he decided to teach him how to say some basic words in Eridian
    One day when they were close to Erid, Rocky falls ill and is unable to answer to the Eridian message

    Luckily, Grace could answer

    Too bad that Rocky didn't tell just how, juvenile he sounded when he spoke Eridian

    Or

    How Grace confused Eridians about his age

    Summary

    Grace has to handle First Contact with an alien planet with what meager Eridian his one set of vocal chords can make.
    This Is Fine. This is totally, completely, utterly fine.

    (Grace sounds like a pebble. This, alongside Eridian's extended lifespans, kicks off a chain of misunderstandings that Grace would find utterly mortifying if he knew what the heck was going on.)

    Summary

    Ryland scrambles upright and jams an accusing finger in Rocky and Adrian’s directions. “You want to Avatar me into an Eridian body!?”
    “No, silly Grace.” Adrian replies cooly, with the Eridian tonal equivalent of an eyeroll, “We want to Avatar ourselves into human bodies."

     

    Grace is yearning for a real, human touch, on a planet where the atmosphere will kill him. Luckily, Rocky and Adrian aren't ones to give up, even on a problem as seemingly impossible as this.

    Grace turns 122…

    …and he's pretty sure he shouldn't be alive.

    Summary

    So Grace does what he does best: he talks.

    “I-I was planning to switch to a lighter, less calorie dense diet, y’know? Just to- just to lose some weight so I could look good and fit into my clothe—“

    “Grace already looks good,” Rocky interrupts. He stops poking and shifts his entire body so that his carapace is now pressed up against Grace’s side. He holds back the urge to whimper at how good the warmth feels on his bare skin, the only thing dividing them being a thin barrier made of xenonite.

    Sometimes, Grace wishes he could touch Rocky without anything in between them. He thinks it would feel perfect, except for the whole ammonia-slash-oxygen thing.

    Just when he thought it couldn’t get worse, Rocky continues, “don’t need to lose weight. Grace is beautiful.”

    or; Rocky figures out how to make human food taste like Earth food for Grace. Anything for Grace.

    Summary

    That is how it starts. 

    My pebbles are all good kids and a tight knit group. There are rarely fights or tensions and I can honestly say that they are all friends.

    But Sam, showing all of them up with a gift that made Teacher Grace smile softly with tears in his eyes? 

    That means war.

    **************

    A lucky find leads to lots of gifts for Teacher Grace from his precious pebbles

    Summary

    “They kept asking questions that had nothing to do with Quinn’s performance.” I roll my eyes and notice that I’m getting worked up again. Trying to get the midnight blue Eridian back on track had been a nightmare and I’d almost lost my composure a couple of times. “Just what I like to do and what I’ve seen of Erid so far and if they can give me a tour once my suit is finished. And they insisted I tell them what my favorite type of mineral is. I mean, why would they want to know that? What does that have to do with how their kid is doing in class?”

    Midway through my rant Rocky has stopped carding his claw through my hair. He is silent for a few seconds and I’m just about to ask him if he’s alright when his whole body starts to tremble. It alarms me enough that I wiggle my arms underneath me and lift my upper body off the couch. 

    “Rock?”

    But then the trembling morphs into full on shaking and then laughter so loud and shrill that I have to cover my ears.

    **********

    Erid's first ever parent teacher night does not quite go according to plan.

    Summary

    Grace and Rocky pass the time by watching terrible (and not so terrible) movies on their way to Erid.

    Or, Grace almost starves to death and they both realize what love really means, Grace most of all.

    (Or, Earth had never been very kind to Grace. So he gave it the same energy back... until it bit him in the butt. And even on an alien planet 16.3 light years away it continues to bite him in the butt, unless he can learn to come to terms with who he was and who he became.)

    Summary

    “How much astrophage ship needs for trip back to earth, question?” Rocky asks. I can barely understand him, his voice is multiple octaves lower than usual.

    I pinch my nose bridge and sigh heavily. “Two million kilograms.”

    We already covered this during some other talk. Rocky doesn’t have enough astrophage on the Blip A to save me too.

    Rocky fidgets more. He’s quiet, concentrated. Suddenly, he stands up straighter- and slumps down again.

    “🎶🎵.”

    OR

    Rocky's ship never had enough astrophage for both him and Grace to go home. The two need to accept Grace's fate and continue to work together, despite difficulties.

    Summary

    Rocky took ‘Grace’ – a word in a language he can’t speak, with a meaning that doesn’t directly translate – and gave his human friend a name, one with weight and significance, which conveyed exactly who Grace was to the people of Erid. Then, to keep things professional, he did it a second time.

    Grace isn’t even mad about it any more. He just wishes he hadn’t waited so long to return the favour.

    (Set after 'False Friends'. Can stand alone. Context: Grace has landed on Erid and recovered from most of his hang-ups around that. Oh, and the malnutrition.)

    Summary

    An Alternate Universe where Grace faced starvation earlier on due to contaminated food. I am following what the book states about the food situation on the ship, how Grace has enough food until he reaches Erid. Due to an error within the ship, one Grace couldn’t fix in time, much of the food spoils and rots. Grace’s starvation begins early. The trip to Erid was hard on Grace’s body, and despite its scientists being quick on their feet, Grace’s condition worsens. Rocky devotes his time to remaining by Grace’s side, experiencing more grief than an Eridian would experience in a life time.
