    Summary

    On the journey to Erid, Grace and Rocky discuss their respective alien biologies and Rocky learns that a lot of humans don't make it to the average 80 year life expectancy.

    Years later, it looks like Rocky is going to learn that lesson again in a more personal way, but not if he has anything to say about it.

    Feat: Grace being susceptible to medical misconceptions aka being a little dumb about human medical science (he’s not that kind of doctor, okay?), old man Grace ignoring pain and injury because he’s used to it, worried Rocky, and a peek at daily life on Erid

    Summary

    The child in the picture has dull, hollow green eyes. Her pink hair is neatly put together, pristine and unruffled. She’s pale and drawn, and so very small. And her face…

    Twilight has seen Anya cry before, of course he has. It’s natural for children her age.

    The child in the picture isn’t crying. Her expression is blank, devoid of everything that makes Anya, Anya.

    She looks dead.

    He has to be mistaken. This- it can’t be her.

    Please God don’t let it be her.

    ============

    or,

    Twilight finds out the truth disguised as one of his daughter's tormentors.

    Summary

    What if everyone had misunderstood Queen Tara’s last words? What if she had already made her decision the first time she glanced upon that stomper.

    Or

    What if instead of some flower kid getting chosen as the next queen. MK was.
