Summary
“Big news! Statement.” Rocky chimes brightly.
“Okaaaay. Lay it on me.”
“Two things. First thing.” Rocky begins, holding one arm up, “Eridian crew return safe and sound from mission!”
“That’s great!” He nods.
Rocky holds up a second arm.
“Second thing: Eridian crew find strange moon. No landmasses. Consisted entirely of an ocean of blood.”
“That is...decidedly not great."
(or: how two humans that have little trust in humanity learn to be comfortably human with one another.)

Summary
When in the rut of taomebia research hits a stalemate, a new blip settles on the horizon of the Hail Mary. A rusty mutated submarine adrift in space. Rocky and Grace must now tackle the hurdle of a monster man that brings new questions to the table? Including homoerotic questions.
Grace is a rational selfish man. And Simon is a ruthless killer with a heart of iron. But what happens when these pretenses fade? What happens When two forgotten martyrs have a meet-cute in the blood pit?
Or
Slow burn of Simon acting like a kicked dog and slowly trusting Grace

Summary
“Is the alien…dangerous?” he asks slowly.
“No! No, no he’s my friend, he’s - uh, well, the engineer of the Hail Mary,” says Grace. “Look, I’m just saying that - he’s gonna wake up soon, and we don’t need to tell him about how our first meeting went. We can gloss over the whole ‘tackle me to the ground and scare the daylights out of me’ thing. I won’t tell if you won’t.”
Simon is 90% sure this is going to come back to bite him in the form of blackmail but he nods anyways, because it sure as hell sounds like Grace is implying Simon will be allowed to stay a while longer.
Rocky sleeps through the absolute shitshow that is Simon and Grace’s first meeting. It’s probably for the best.
Despite it all, it will be the start of beautiful friendship.Bookmarked by astralPressure

Summary
When Eva Stratt comes to recruit Dr. Ryland Grace for the Astrophage Crisis, she expects a useful expert. She does not expect a brilliant, tightly wound Little with a sunshine-yellow sweater, a locked-down regression, and a talent for becoming her problem.
As the years of prep grind on and the project narrows toward Baikonur, professional necessity turns into something such more dangerous: trust, protectiveness, and the kind of care neither of them has time to want.

Summary
It's been years since Doctor Ryland Grace saved Erid and Earth. He is content with his life, happy just to teach the next generation of Eridians and have the occasional game night with Rocky and Adrian in his dome. For the most part, nothing changes.
And that's the problem. Shouldn't Grace, y'know...age? When Rocky indicates that he should be sixty human years old by now, Grace can't reconcile the young face in the mirror with the time that his friend has religiously kept.
Things get more complicated when another undoubtedly human ship shows up at the edge of the 40 Eridani system. Suddenly Grace is playing ambassador between the two species, and tensions are rising between them. Will this be a successful second contact, or is the peaceful life Grace just wants to live too much to ask for?
