    Summary

    Fact 1 everyone on the carrier knows? that Ryland Grace does not 'do' relationships of the romantic or sexual variety (well, everyone except Lokken, but she's deluding herself a little bit).
    Fact 2 that everyone on the carrier knows? Eva Stratt is also yearning for her first officer, she's just a lot better at hiding it.
    Fact 3 that NO ONE on the carrier knows? They're all idiots. Except Yao. He totally saw this coming.

    Summary

    The Eridian thrills a high sound that doesn’t get picked up by the translator which means that it has no clear meaning. Like when a human gasps or sucks in a deep breath. It actually sounds a little like that. When they notice that I’m staring straight at them they scramble back into their hiding spot and hold very still. 

    A child, I realize with a start.

    That’s a child! 

    “Hey,” I call and the kid squeaks again. I was about to get to my feet but abort the movement and crawl closer on my hands and knees until I'm inches away from the xenonite wall. I wait and it takes me much too long to realize that they don’t have to peek around the corner to see if I’m still there.

    “Hey there,” I try again, my voice low and calm. It’s my teacher voice, the one I use for shy and scared students. 

    Used. 

    The fact that I haven’t had to use it for years and it still comes to me automatically almost knocks the air out of my lungs but this is not about me, it’s about making sure the little pebble doesn’t die of fright from the scary alien. “Hi, I’m Grace. It’s alright, you don’t have to be scared.”

    Summary

    Grace learns from his students that the Eridians have been gossiping about him and Rocky. What spurred these rumors? An upcoming opera about them that's being marketed as a love story. Before they can make a public statement denouncing it, the director makes them an offer: a private showing before the public release.

    Summary

    "Many stages in Eridian reproductive process. Rocky Adrian laying cycles finally sync up recently. So, Rocky Adrian think finally time for eggs. Adrian lay five eggs, very good. Only, strange thing happen. Rocky only lay one egg."

    “Oh,” I say. “That’s unusual, right?”

    "Very," Rocky hums.

    My throat tightens. "Does that mean there's something wrong? Are you sick?"

    Rocky makes a gesture I usually interpret as "not exactly". "Not sick," he says. "But doctors still worry. When Eridian start to make fewer eggs, this usually means laying period of life is over soon. Rocky very young for this. Rocky supposed to be in ideal time of life for laying. Rocky younger than Adrian, even." He shifts on three of his feet. Already, my mind is racing ahead, wondering -- "Doctors told Rocky to ask Grace, is this radiation side effect, question?"

    Summary

    He does not hold himself like a hero. At first glance, it’s hard to believe that this man saved the world. But once you look closer, you come to realise how his specific brand of charm was exactly what Earth needed in its eleventh hour.

    Dr Ryland Grace holds himself like a teacher.

    He asks me how you’re meant to start these sorts of things, and, suddenly taken aback by the sight of him in front of me, I give it to him the only way I know how. “Tell me about life on Earth.”

    Or: Ryland Grace finally gets his Futuristic BuzzFeed interview.

    Summary

    The Hail Mary has sent off its Beetles and Eva Stratt is the first to dissect them for the data within. If anything, she’s simply glad that Ryland Grace, as odd as he may seem at first glance, is thorough. His logs, both visual and written, go over everything in pretty good detail.

    She’s also come to learn that he has a pretty bad habit of leaving the camera on when it isn’t meant to be.

    Simon didn’t expect his savior to be exactly his type.

    What a welcome sight. Even if this stupidly handsome man ends up being evil, or working for the C.O.I, at least he’d die looking at something good.

    or

    Grace and Rocky find Simon's ship floating in deep space on their way to Erid.

    Perfect ending to a perfect fic.

    But also. Lovable dumbasses

    “But he wants. He told me.”

    “He told you…? I, uh, don’t think you should’ve told me that.”

    “Why not? Speed up mating. Do you need summon courage too, question?”

    “To talk to him? Probably. It takes me courage to do anything.”

    “You and Grace same. Need courage to talk. Compatible. Make happy. It not different from Eridian mating. Pick someone same to you. Love forever. Simple.”

    Simple.

    He can’t believe the best advice he’s ever received is from a rock with legs.

    He thinks about it for the rest of the day.

    Summary

    Ryland Grace doesn't understand why Stratt is so worried about letting him (i.e. forcing him to) speak at this UNESCO conference. Sure, the LAST time he did that wasn't exactly universally appreciated, but he'd been to hundreds of Eridian conferences since then. He's pretty sure he remembers how to present in English. The Public Speaking Extracurricular Thrum that his pebbles started would be so proud of him!

    or

    Thanks to Dr. Grace's scientific advancements both before and especially after his time travel, it would look suspicious if Stratt DIDN'T send him to the UNESCO conference to share his findings with the field. But that means letting him loose in the world for a few days. There are other people out there. Mein Gott, she can feel the headache forming already.

    Missing scene from the book of Rocky finding out how old Grace is, from Rocky’s perspective.

    Grace has mentioned that he is a scientist as well as a teacher to human children. On Erid, only our Elders would step down from their purpose to impart their knowledge on the next generation. Grace must be very old indeed to become a teacher, and to be chosen for this mission.

Doing the exact opposite of what Gen said was hilarious and B. He really needed to finish the project he was working on. He had stayed up the last 4 days and would probably stay up tonight too.
