    Summary

    On one hand, Rocky discovers human porn. On the other, said porn makes Grace remember that he isn't actually as inexperienced with sex as he thought. Now obviously that means Grace has to do something to show Rocky that porn isn't an accurate portrayal of human mating. It's just, well, hard to do that while also realizing he has feelings that aren't entirely platonic.

    Or: They're both xenophiles and idiots.

    Summary

    “It’s only to Threeworld and back,” Grace says.

    It’s only to Threeworld and back. It’s only to Threeworld now, with the option of more trips in the future if this goes well. It’s only to get him off Erid. It’s only to take the stress off his creaking joints and compressing spine and struggling heart. It’s only to save his life, to give him decades instead of just years.

    “...I can’t go with,” Rocky says slowly, every note wavering in the closest an Eridian can get to their voice cracking with emotion. Grace puts an arm out instantly and Rocky crowds in against him, uncomfortable heat bleeding through xenonite’s harsh edges.

    (grace goes on a road trip. adrian tags along.)

    Summary

    Sixteen years have passed since Grace arrived on Erid and a new ship has been spotted in the 40 Eridani system, not from Erid and not from Earth. When Grace finds himself an interstellar ambassador between the Eridians and these new aliens, uncomfortable questions arise about whether Grace could ever really be considered Eridian, and whether he might be happier somewhere else...

    Summary

    'Rocky, do you remember the expected, average human lifespan?'

    I ask it conversationally but Rocky freezes in place all the same.

    'No,' he states.

    'No?'

    'Yes, Rocky remembers. No, do not want to talk about this.'

    I lean back and fold my arms.

    'Rock…'

    'Grace. No. Bad bad bad.'


    Dr Ryland Grace is an old man. Dr Ryland Grace knows what he wants to happen when the time comes. Rocky doesn't want to talk about it.
