    Summary

    The arrival at Erid is a momentous occasion. Rocky is excited and thrilled. Ryland is overwhelmed. But the reunion is happy, beautiful, amazing.

    Or that's what it should have been. Except Rocky gets hurt, Ryland is left to try and communicate with an alien planet, and everyone is scrambling to figure out how to do this. To Grace, this is incredible but also bittersweet - he got Rocky home safely with the taumoeba, now he just gets... to starve. To Erid, this is insane - how did Rocky show up in an alien spaceship with a child???

    ...

    Ryland Grace is stuck trying to speak Eridian, immediately makes himself sound like a child, and Rocky's world and family scramble to help this strange pebble. Misunderstandings galore, alongside hurt/comfort and angst and fluff.

    Summary

    When Harry Potter, freshly four-hundred (or so) years old, came to this world, he had not been expecting to fall deeply in love with the dashing gentleman that routinely visited the café from where he drank his tea.

    Of course, that was not to imply that Harry would do less than his utmost to woo the object of his sincerest affections.

    -

    The Bats were in agreement: whoever this "Harry Potter" was, they didn't like him. At all. Who'd this twenty-something year old think he was?! Like hell they'd let their Alfred get stolen away from them by some no-good, seducing little punk.

    Summary

    “Rocky?”

    “Apology, apology. Grace smart smart adult scientist. But sleep noises remind Rocky of small Eridians. Word is for young Eridians, first hatched."

    I pause rubbing the sleep out of my eye. Rocky just called me a baby. Or maybe hatchling would be the right translation?
