    Summary

    Ryland Grace was only human, but his spirit would not be subdued not even for death itself. Thanks to Rocky, Erid would soon learn the strength of the seemingly frail humans who sent a teacher into space. The duality of man would echo through their thrum haunting even the oldest Eridian. Grace was something new, something unknown, and something potentially dangerous. And Erid would never let him go. They would protect. They would claim. They would meet an indomitable human spirit.

    Inspired by the idea of the indomitable human spirit

    Summary

    "Grace upset?"

    "Not exactly, thinking some dumb human thoughts."

    Normally, an answer like this prompts a very nosy Rocky. This time, however, the Eridian lets it go.

    "Ah, yes. Leaky space blob thoughts. Will not interrupt. Come to lab once you are done."

    Grace watches him roll away, feeling like he's already losing Rocky. It's a dumb thought, but he's a dumb human, and it seems his dumb heart has come online for the first time ever.

    OR

    Grace catches Feelings with a capital F and believes he's alone in them. Rocky shows Grace he will never be alone again.

    Summary

    "What if I help you?" Grace blurts out desperately, sweating even in the coolness of his house as his words finally manage to stop Adrian from storming out.

    "What?" Adrian says after a tense moment.

    "I can prove it to everyone," Grace says, his heart in his throat. "I'll - I'll make you and Rocky the most celebrated couple on Erid. I promise."

    "Stupid human," Adrian hisses. "You would give up your chance for him just like that?"

    "Yes," Grace says hoarsely.

    "Anything for him."

    ***

    Adrian does not like Grace.

    Which sucks, really, since Grace loves Adrian's husband and all.

    Summary

    All of Erid waited to greet their saviors. The brave twenty-three Eridians that left to save their planet. Only one emerged. And… something else.

    Erid has seen little of Grace and Rocky. The alien is sick. Rocky is the only one who knows how to take care of it. They have clung to each other desperately tight. And Grace is worried. Rocky has not seen Adrian more than a handful of times since they arrived six months ago. Rocky has essentially no social life. They have not left each other’s sides for nearly five years. This is, obviously, a problem.

    Grace isn’t as sick. He doesn’t need Rocky to take care of him anymore. And Grace will do what he has to so that Rocky can resume living a normal life with Adrian. So what if Grace absolutely can’t be alone? So what if the thoughts are getting overwhelming? So what if Adrian kind of hates him? This is for Rocky’s sake. He’ll be okay.

    But Grace has severely underestimated how much he needs Rocky. How much Rocky needs him.
    —————————————————————————
    Or: Grace and Rocky are severely codependent. Adrian gets tangled up in their mess, too.

    Summary

    Grace misses touch.
    He would be perfectly fine never having it again except for the fact that the last human hands he felt were holding his face in the dirt while he screamed.
    Meanwhile, Rocky is growing agitated-- it is almost his molting cycle, and he has concerns about building a new shell.

    -------------

    Grace thinks it's just coincidence or proximity when Rocky asks him to decorate pieces of the new carapace, or when the pieces he holds don't crumble in his atmosphere. Or when the hand that presses against the xenonite paneling during testing looks incredibly, insanely human.
    It's just him projecting. Rocky wouldn't want that.
    Right?

    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

    As he stared down into the lumpy grey goop that was his evening rations, he contemplated whether it was really worth it.

    They’d come a very long way just for Grace to give up and die at the last hurdle, both physically and emotionally. The Tau Ceti system was a long, long way away now, and Grace had faced not one but two highly emotional suicide missions. Three, if you counted the time before he was given a military grade roofie and hucked into space without his memories.

     

    Rocky and Grace make it back to Erid! Huzzah!
    Now they have to navigate all of... that.

    By our stars and saving grace,
    save us from this deep dark place.

    When you've been in darkness for too long, you tend to grab onto the first light you see. Sometimes that light happens to be two aliens from a society 11.9 light-years away from your own, and they happen to be exactly what you were looking for all along.

    ***

    “What? You’re not wanting to actually do this soap opera appearance, are you?” Rocky asked.

    Grace’s ears pulsed with blood flow and he gave a twitch of a shrug.

    “I mean…kinda?” he said. “I love As Erid Turns.”

    Rocky turned to Adrian.

    “Well?”

    “Well, what? I think he should do it,” Adrian said placidly.

    “Adrian! Grace is not some—cheap floozy of an entertainer! He’s a respected interstellar scientist!”

    OR: Dr. Ryland Grace, unlikely Eridian soap opera star.

    Summary

    The first thing to catch my attention is the orange formatting of the page. It looks familiar… but I can’t quite place it just yet. I check the top of the tab and sure enough… Rocky found Reddit.

    I sigh. I had hoped that would never happen. Rocky excitedly continues, seemingly unable or unwilling to wait until I finish reading the text.

    Found people discussing footage Grace sent back to earth! Talk much interesting topics, and Rocky also mentioned a lot! They say Rocky Grace know each other in the ♪♫♩♪ sense!
    He almost jumps up and down in excitement.

    “What? How is that even- you know what never mind, need word, you used a new one there, bud.”

    Oh, ♪♫♩♪, question? Is human religion, book way.

    Book? Religion? What could he possibly- Oh. My. Gosh. I know what he means by that!

    “Rocky do you mean in the biblical sense?!” My voice is high, almost indistinguishable from a shriek.

     

    Or Rocky finds a subreddit of users discussing the nature of Grace and Rocky‘s relationship after the beetles return to earth and has quite a few questions.

    Summary

    “Would it help––should I bring my dinner in too?” Grace jokes, smiling in preparation for the absolute symphony of disgusted whistles he knows Rocky will produce at the thought of them doing something as depraved as sharing a meal. “I’ve been saving this week’s half packet of ramen for just such an occasion––”

    [YES YES YES!] Rocky’s translator app suddenly blares from the laptop on the floor between them. [YES, ACCEPT ACCEPT ACCEPT! GRACE RAMEN ♪♫♪♫ WITH ROCKY, AFFIRMATIVE! GRACE ROCKY EAT ♪♫♪♫ MEAL TOGETHER AFFIRMATIVE YES YES AFFIRMATIVE NOW.]

And then what if you accidentally proposed marriage to said alien best bud without knowing, because while you may be Earth's best and brightest, you are also notoriously inexperienced and kinda stupid at close interpersonal relationships? What then?

    Summary

    Fíli/Original Female Character | Slow Burn | High Spice | Canon Divergence | Magic | Soft Angst | Battle Couple | Druid Aesthetic
    She woke in roots older than time, with no memory of who she had once been — only that the forest whispered her name.
    Twelve years later, Eryn Wyrdwood lives quietly on the edge of the wilds, healing the land and those who come seeking her strange, moss-scented magic. But when a Company of dwarves arrives at her door, led by an old wizard and burdened with a king’s pride, Eryn finds herself drawn into a journey far bigger — and older — than she ever expected.
    She is the Wild, forgotten but not gone.
    He is the Heir, bound in gold and duty.
    And somewhere between firelight glances, ancient battles, and the long echo of dragon wings, they find something terrifyingly gentle — and fiercely, unshakably theirs.
