on possessive pronouns and boners by Anonymous

Summary
Update: Rocky is using pronouns now!
And another update: He’s using the possessive pronoun ‘my’ and is constantly referring to me as his! Someone should send me to the airlock without the EVA suit because I’m so embarrassed with how much this is affecting me.
Or, grace teaches rocky pronouns, and everything devolves from there

Summary
The slightly cold atmosphere of the ship feels like it’s been bumped up ten degrees, and Grace tugs at the collar of his shirt as he tries to flee the conversation, Rocky’s ball tumbling through the corridors behind him.
“Graa-aa-aa-ce.”
A deep, trembling sigh escapes Grace as he turns around and kneels in front of the xenonite ball to be eye to eye – figuratively – with his friend.
“Look, Rocky. I appreciate your enthusiasm. I do. But think about what you’re asking, man. I can’t let you vivisect me, for fudge’s sake.”
----------
Or, Rocky is interested in learning about the inner workings of the human body, and Grace lets himself be his lab experiment. To no one's surprise, this deeply intimate interaction takes a turn.

hierarchy conformity by Flickerphoenix7765

Summary
"Social conditioning, Rocky had realized with awe. (Or maybe brain damage. Or maybe some kind of sexual deviancy. Rocky would need to prod further about that.) Such utterly different ways to Eridians. How about that.
And wretched lonely perverted strange Rocky, who had seen all of its crewmates die and had no ways to solve the problem alone, decided that it had been far enough away from Erid and other Eridians long enough. What’s another social construct broken? "Just because the interactions between species are understandable doesn't mean everything under the hood, so to speak, lines up one-to-one.
Rocky learns about human society. And it would just like to know: what the actual fuck???

The Mortifying Ordeal of Being Known by SerotoninShift

Summary
After the Taumoeba leak, after I decided to die after all and turned my ship around to save Rocky, after Rocky's frantic calculations about food supplies, Taumoeba multiplication rates, and human caloric intake needs, after we realized that with some rationing and luck I would make it, but that we were headed toward the unknown territory of trying to rapid-prototype me a life support system and synthetic food supply on an inhospitable planet: after all of that, after everything, I shouldn't have been surprised that it only took a few months on board the Hail Mary for things to get weird.

Summary
Mating hunts were something of a myth on Erid; a romanticized relic of their pre-civilized past. But Rocky should have noticed the signs that something was wrong before his instincts took over, with only one target: his best friend and sole companion on the Hail Mary, Ryland Grace.

Summary
There is nothing.
Ryland Grace knows this now. He was never religious, never believed in anything when he was alive. There’s a lot of different beliefs, back on Earth, of what lies beyond death. He didn’t believe in any of that, and he had thought that was fine. Now is different. Now he is, as far as he can tell, dead. Now is the first hand proof of what lies beyond. Now is…
Nothing.
A very dark, vast, infinite expanse of nothing.
…
There is nothing for what could either be forever,
…
or for no time at all.
…
He’ll never get to see Erid.
…
He’ll never get to see Adrian, who Rocky had told him so much about.
…
He’ll never get to see if the taumoeba works, if either Erid or Earth are able to free their starts from the astrophage infection.
…
He’ll never get to see Rocky again.
…
…
…
And then there is something.Ryland Grace is given a second chance at life, but every waking moment is followed by the knowledge of what awaits him should he die, of what awaits everyone. He learns that some people should go meet that Nothing sooner, rather than later.

Summary
“Don’t have to face any specific direction to talk to you, Grace,” Rocky says. “Am radially symmetrical. Hearing organs on whole body. Grace biologist, should know this.”
I suddenly regret teaching him literally anything about biology. Some things more than others.
“Figure of speech,” I say. That’s so not the point. “Listen, is this about the other day? Because we can pretend it never happened, if it’s making you uncomfortable.”
Rocky skids to a stop. He slowly backs up a few paces, and now I can tell he is actually focusing on me, even though it doesn’t really matter which facet of his body is pointed in my direction, due to the aforementioned radial symmetry.
“Not uncomfortable,” Rocky says. “Interesting display of human culture and biology. Grace very kind to share with me."

Summary
Grace points at the five tentacles.
“So. Normally these are inside of you. But they have some length to them, if they’re able to reach outside of your body entirely like this. Do…? I mean, has any Eridian tried putting them into another like, Eridian, or…?”
Rocky squeaks, a rush of air from his vents in a short burst. Scandalized.
“Put inside!? No no no. Disgust! Grace think like pervert! No no no.”
“It was an innocent question! Humans put their penises in any hole that can fit! Even stuff that isn’t alive, like, food or—”
Another squeal, this time Rocky stands on three legs. His two limbs used currently for his arms wave erratically.
“Perverted! Perverted! Perverted! Grace disgust! All human species disgust!”

Summary
“Grace can feel song, question?” Rocky asked, slower than usual. The cooing had lulled him, too.
“I… Maybe? Yeah,” Grace whispered, and Rocky had to focus to understand the slurring.
“Humans can feel sound, question?”
Grace huffed a small laugh. “Sometimes, yeah. For example, when the sound is… very low and loud, we can feel it in our chests.”
“Song is neither low nor loud.” That would have an entirely different effect.
“I know. I can still feel it, I think. It’s strange.”
“Good strange, question?”
“Good strange, yeah.”
Grace could feel sound. Grace could feel Rocky’s songs.
Hmm.
Rocky discovers nature's laws aren't as inflexible as they'd thought. He puts this to good use.

Summary
“You're really fitting the bill if that’s what you wanted. What, you gonna probe me after this? For ‘science’?”
“Unknown word: pervert,” Rocky breathed out, and Grace felt his stomach twist at the sound of it from the vocabulator. Rocky was stiff across from him, unmoving in observation, and Grace's glasses started to fog up. He looked like he was itching to move forward, his words more warbly than before. “…but can ‘probe’, if that would improve inspection.”

Summary
He shuddered when Grace's fingers tapped the glass panes of xenonite that separated them one afternoon, or as afternoon as their journey home would ever allow. His tone was playful, and Rocky braced himself from where he was meshing two panes of xenonite together. They really did have more important things to focus on. “Hypothetical: When we get back to Erid-”
“If Grace and Rocky ever get back to Erid-”
“-you’re saying I’m basically gonna be a walking porno for your race?”
Rocky placed down his soldering iron. “Doesn't Grace have taumoeba tanks to check temperatures for?”

Summary
“Think of it in this way: suppose I make two statements. Statement one: “After I die, I shall be reborn as a baby… but I shall forget my former life.” Statement two: “After I die… a baby will be born.” Now, I believe that those two statements are saying exactly the same thing.”—Alan Watts

Summary
“Proof of concept,” ♫♬♯♩♩♫ says. “We’ve tested it thoroughly to ensure it fits the specified nutritional profile, and several members of our team have ingested small amounts of it to ensure there were no adverse effects.”
“You ate some of it?” I ask, rudely. I’m too irate to mind my language. Who do they think they are? That meat is for Grace. In a way, that meat is Grace.
“Yes,” ♫♬♯♩♩♫ says. They and the rest of the human life support thrum know better than to be offended by my occasionally strange behaviour. “Obviously we weren’t going to risk the life of Honoured Grace on a completely untested technology.”
That doesn’t mean much. There’s a lot of things that are safe for ingestion by Eridians that would outright kill a human.
Trust Grace, I remind myself. He’ll have thought of all this.
(OR: Grace's meburgers from the book epilogue. Let's talk about those!)

Summary
'Is very specific role! Special friend is someone Eridian trust very much, trust enough for sex,' He began to explain. I watched the vents on the top of his carapace puff as he sung his words. 'Eridian must court special friend, but courting different than with mate. Must give three gifts! First gift useful, second represent important thing about friend. Final gift is special rock, but not to put in Eridian, just to have. It is tradition, always give gifts in order.'

You are profoundly alone. You have been for a while. Suddenly, you aren't anymore, and you are struggling to be normal about it. Pooling strengths and weaknesses with the strange creature on its explosive-atmosphere ship might just be the only way to save both of your stars, but it might also lead to more than just strictly scientific discoveries, and neither of you are sure how to feel about that.
