Summary
On the way to Erid, Ryland eventually runs out of rations and has to switch to a full diet of practically flavorless and nutritionless taumoeba.
The human body, when faced with starvation, will typically grow more tired and uncoordinated, requiring wayyy more sleep than before to make up for the lost energy source.Rocky is not a fan of that.

Summary
"I'm up! Ok I'm up-" a yawn broke through his words, Rocky chirping something in anticipation as he skittered over to the closest point in the tunnels to Grace. When the man was done blearily rubbing at his face and slapping himself awake (Rocky was perturbed to say the least when Grace explained some humans harm themselves to wake up or refocus on a task), he finished his statement, "What's up bud, did you need something?"
{"Rocky heard Grace make purr sound like Earth cat. Why Grace not explain that human thing? Why Grace not do it before?"} The blonde took a second to stare at the Eridian with a gobsmacked look on his face before it dawned on him.
"Rocky- do you mean I snore?" The Eridian tilted his carapace slightly, a quirk he'd apparently picked up from Grace.
{"New word. Explain."}

Or a 5+1 in which Rocky conducts several sleep studies on his leaky space blob during moments during their mission.
QUEERPLATONIC GRACE AND ROCKY. Can be read as romantic but I mainly wrote it as two really close bros bonding in space, so there's nothing inherently romantic featured beyond typical snuggles and sappy words :)
EDIT (6-29-26): added tags (SEE NOTES)Series
- Part 1 of Platonic Rocky&Grace :)

Summary
Getting settled on a new planet has all kinds of ups and downs, Ryland Grace knows this. Eridian's are very different, not to mention simply their method of speech.
Grace may have forgotten to mention that some forms of sound, sudden and sharp, are painful to humans. It never came up, and after nearly a year on Erid, it had sort of slipped his mind. Not to mention, being on a space craft for nearly five years must have brought an issue like this to light, but it seems that he and Rocky had just gotten lucky.
The alternative, the pain of new sounds is discovered the hard way, with a bit too much blood as a result.

Summary
"What is this?" Adrian asked because what else could be done?
"My friend— Grace" they replied as if it were obvious.
When Adrian didn't respond they spoke again, "He helped me save the stars."
"It's dying," Adrian told them— softly, gently.
"No," they stomped a foot, even the thought angering them. "He will be okay, he is hungry— makes him weak. That's all."

Finding Home by C4t1l1n4

Summary
A series of short fics exploring Grace and Rocky's friendship, among other things. (Each chapter is its own story; I just wanted to have them all in one place.)
Chapter 1: Rocky thinks humans are equally disgusting and cute. Somehow, through it all, Grace reminds him of home.
Chapter 2: Rocky can pick Grace up easily, and Rocky thinks it is very funny. Rocky and Grace tease each other.
Chapter 3: Eridians bring Grace their babies for him to see, and Grace learns about Eridian culture/religion. Grace is also bad at taking compliments.
Chapter 4: Rocky makes Grace celebration jewelry. Later, Grace gets a similar gift from Adrian.
Chapter 5: Grace and Rocky tease each other, and Rocky is introduced to the idea of throwing things at your friends. He decides that humans are odd, but maybe aren't all that bad.
Chapter 6: Grace tries to convince Rocky to swim, but Eridians don’t typically like deep water because they are heavy and will sink/drown. Grace learns about some Eridian mythology.
Chapter 7: Grace talks about the lack of support teachers have on Earth. Rocky is confused by this.[This has a limit, so new chapters will have their description at the beginning of the chapter instead]

sleeping when you're dead by rockandrollinator

Summary
“Soon, okay? I’ll sleep soon.”
“Grace is liar.”
Grace didn’t deny it.
He wasn’t sure how long he worked for after that, but at some point, his body presumably shut itself down right there in his rolling chair. At least, that’s where he woke up, with a start, to find Rocky glaring at him with his whole body from across the lab.
They didn’t talk for a while after that.
Grace has a complicated relationship with sleep (and himself). Rocky enforces a bedtime (and Grace treating himself a little better).
