    Summary

    Grace. A short, grating sound. A word, not a name. A word that used to be associated with [Adrian]. Potential suitors had called their measured bearing and smooth songs graceful. Visitors to [Adrian] and [Rocky]'s home called [Adrian] a gracious host. Everybody said that [Adrian] handled their mate disappearing into space for [fifty-four years] with grace.
    Now, their mate has returned with Grace.

    Summary

    “But you said you didn’t have a word for – for forcing someone into reproduction?”

    No. Is different, but equivalent violation. Means, to force to sleep.

    Or, Dr. Ryland Grace has yet to confront the choices taken from him. Eridian norms, ironically enough, force the issue.

    Summary

    “Grace, question?”

    I perk up at the sound of Rocky's voice. It's not uncommon after almost two years into our trip to Erid to ask random questions about me, or humans, or really earth in general. Especially after an hour or two on his computer.

    “Yes Rocky?”

    “Humans persistence predators, question? Humans hunters, question?”

    “Ah.”

    Summary

    Your supplications for a decent roommate came in the form of one Ryland Grace — a science teacher at Grover Cleveland Middle — after you moved into your new apartment. He seemed nice, you concluded. You’d find out not long after that “nice” wasn’t enough of a criterion when judging a roommate.

    Summary

    My pride stings a little at being so underestimated by a species that couldn’t even outrun a particularly determined turtle if their life depended on it. Look, I’m no Sha’Carri Richardson, but I’m pretty proud of my seven-minute mile. I worked hard for it. I haven’t been able to handle myself like this since I was... well, since I left Earth.

    “Y’know what? Let’s settle this once and for all. I could use an endurance test anyway. Good for my cardio.”

    Dr. Bones perks up. “You’ll do a demonstration?”

    “Absolutely. Give me two rest days and a warmup, then I’ll show you what the average human athlete can do.”

    -----

    AKA, Grace doesn't consider himself much of an athlete, but he's no slouch either. And he's got the physical prowess of his whole species to represent!

    The xenobiology team, on the other hand, is horrified to learn what a 'persistence hunter' is.

    Summary

    Eridians really are masters of material sciences and engineering. The mere idea of this sort of invention is pure science fiction on earth, but here we are. 16 light years away from my home planet and I’m looking at a real life honest-to-god avatar. The blue ones, not the cartoon. It's a human man.

    After many long years of work, Rocky has finally managed to make himself human to finally close the gap between him and Grace. It'll take a bit for him to get used to this new body, but in the meantime, Grace is perfectly capable of taking control and showing Rocky what humans can really do.

    Summary

    Alpha Ryland Grace doesn't really care for his designation, it's never bothered him before. After being on suppressants for years before Erid, then experiencing very easy ruts because there wasn't another human being for 16 light years, he wakes up to an early rut that feels /bad/. Then he finds out his roommate/kind of friend is an Omega, and it gets worse. When Simon goes into heat despite the suppressants he's on, they have big decisions to make.

    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!”
