    Summary

    'What is Grace doing, question?'
    It all started with that question. Grace going back for Rocky was never going to be something he regretted. Ever.
    But then — on the way to Erid, problems that had been the last thing on his mind while on the journey to save his friend arose. Like privacy.

    Grace survives the journey to Erid, and maybe finds a new home there. Rocky and Adrian have a lot of love to give, and they're very creative. But maybe they'd like others to see just how wonderful their little humans is? How well he sings? Eridians are a very curious species, after all.

    Or the fic in which Grace finds out eridians are nothing like humans (duh). They are highly competitive, love playing with others and don't mind sharing. Privacy doesn't really exist on Erid other than for eating. He finds out just how much they are willing to share.

    Summary

    "You'll be remembered as a hero."

    Ryland Grace hates that sentence.

    Heroes volunteer. Heroes aren't shoved onto spaceships and sent light-years from home.

    After learning that taumoeba can consume xenonite, Ryland gives up his chance of ever seeing Earth again and turns the Hail Mary around to save Rocky.

    Rocky is thrilled.

    Ryland is not prepared for Rocky's constant hovering, concern over his eating habits, refusal to respect personal space, or the sudden revelation that Rocky and his mate Adrian have apparently been looking for a third.

    Three years to Erid is a long time to spend trapped on a spaceship.

    Especially when Rocky has decided that Ryland belongs with them.

    Summary

    Four years after arriving on Erid, Ryland Grace has built a life. He teaches pebbles, swims in his ocean, arguers with Rocky, and lets Adrian carry him when Erid's gravity gets too heavy. He feels like he is finally home.

    But not everyone on Erid sees him as a person. Some see a miracle. Some see a curiosity. Some see a treasure being kept behind sound dead walls.

    And someone inside Grace's dome has decided Erid deserves more than glimpses.

    Summary

    Something was standing above his towel.

    No… someone.

    They seemed to be observing the towel, claws tapping against the material with what he took as curiosity, pinching it between the appendage.

    Was it Rocky? It’d make sense, the Eridian would certainly have something harsh to say about him leaving his stuff laying around. He always had some mean quip to insult his shoddy human memory.

    He opened his mouth to defend himself before Rocky could say something snappy, when the figure then moved, stocky legs rising from beneath their carapace and lifting them to their full standing height.

    They were tall. Too tall.

    That wasn’t Rocky.

    OR

    Grace receives an unexpected visitor one night in his home on Erid.

    Summary

    Grace knows the chances he’ll survive and live a happy, fulfilling life are so comically low it would be easier for him to win the lottery seven times in a row. But he still allows himself to hope he might be able to go home after this is over, after he figures out why Tau Ceti's star isn’t dying.

    If he doesn’t hope, it’s easy to panic, and that isn’t productive to the mission. Besides, there’s another thing that motivates him apart from Stratt’s faith and the knowledge Earth’s fate is in his hands. It’s a bit unexpected, so much so that the realization had made him laugh when it crossed his mind for the first time— it was so sudden and so correct it didn’t even feel like it had come out of his head:

    At least there are no spiders in space.

    Or,

    One severely arachnophobic Ryland Grace meets a tarantula made out of rocks.
