Summary
"Ava," Grace turns to the radio, heart heavy. "I don't think we can bring your stars back."
There's a long silence, only interrupted by the crackling static of interstellar transmission.
"You said the stars where you are are cured?"
"From the astrophage? Yeah. But-"
"Then we don't need to bring my stars back," Ava decides, her voice full of steely conviction. "We just need to bring my people to where the stars are."
-
Or Ryland can't stand not knowing if the probes made it back and saved humanity, so he calls Earth, and someone picks up. Someone from the wrong Earth. And Simon is sent into deep space on a one-man mission to see the stars

Summary
Curled up at the back of the closet, against the wall and very unsuccessfully trying to hide himself behind the edge of a box of hazmat suits, is Simon.
Grace stares. Simon stares back, seemingly frozen. He's sitting on the floor, legs curled up, hand halfway through shielding his face. The lighting isn't great, but his cheeks and eyes shine in a way that clearly show he's been crying. A lot.
"Oh my gosh," Grace starts, panic lurching into sympathy and quickly joined by shock. "Simon?"
***
Simon has barely age regressed before, and never in front of anyone else. But after the events in the SM-13 and while traveling with Grace & Rocky back to Erid, he needs new ways to heal.

Summary
Dr. Ryland Grace, destitute, just wants a job. There are certainly worse possibilities than becoming a live-in tutor.
Eva Stratt, newly guardian of five nieces and nephews, wants a highly educated, responsible, capable governess, who will meet all of the children's needs and also who won't run away from the household (again). Someone should not be this hard to find.
Franzi would like to draw a picture. Rosi would like to read a book. Erich would like to learn more about stars, please. Elma would like everyone to be happy. Gunther would really, really, really, thank you very much, like to have a dog.
Sound of Music AU.

Summary
“Grace?”
“Yeah, buddy. What’s up?
“So… you met Adrian. And you like Adrian, question?”
“Of course! They’re awesome! Why do you ask?
Rocky drew a little line in the sand as he spoke. “Grace enjoyed meeting Rocky family member, question?”
Grace smiled. “Of course! It was a great honor to meet them! Thank you for the opportunity.”
Rocky rotated his carapace towards Grace. “Good good! Glad to hear. Because…”
“...Because?”
His claws dug in the sand.
“Because… other family member want to meet you too.”
“Oh!” Grace said, blinking. “Who?”
“My parents.”

Summary
Ryland Grace was starting to think that he had spent a not insignificant amount of his half-remembered time on Earth thinking about sex. As in, more than the average well-adjusted adult should have been.
Grace struggles to understand his own sexuality (or lack thereof) through the brief glimpses of his past he's seen. A lot of time and distance helps him to untangle it all. Rocky is there to help him through it and is very excited to learn what he can.

Summary
In 1949, we sent the first primate to space.
A little rhesus monkey. The scientists forced him into the rocket.
He died upon impact with the ground. But, first, far from home, a monkey touched the stars.
Far from home, a child of Earth was spat out. Here, he is resurrected, emerged into a new world.
Monkey... something has followed you.
(Three years in to the journey to Erid, there is something so bright and big in the Hail Mary’s path that it triggers an automatic shutdown of their engines.
When they stop, there is nothing bright there. In the center of where this anomaly would have been, there is a submarine. An improbable submarine, and the even more improbable person inside of it. He is far from home, praying for safety in his dreams, where he floats in the water of kind oceans and hears his mother spin bedtime stories. He wants, with all his being, to be saved.
Someone is listening. Someone is re-writing his story.
Someone gives him Grace.)

Summary
"Aw, don't give me bad news." Grace tipped his head back, smiling idly. "Isn't life in prison enough for one man? What's next, they're taking away my birthday?"
Carl waited, sitting still with his hands folded on the table, patient as Grace's wandering gaze and tapping knee stayed erratic. When their eyes met again, Grace's expression fell.
"What?" Grace said, with more dread.

Summary
Rocky emerges, and his body language alone is enough to get me going. I struggle around my laugh, clamping my hand over my mouth. He waits patiently for me to gather myself.
“Eridians are gay,” he declares. “I escape closet for all of them.”
I fail. I tuck my glasses into the collar of my shirt so I can put my head in my hands, wiping tears as they come.
“Rocky,” I say between giggles, “Rocky, I don’t think—I don’t think you can apply human sexuality to Eridians.”
Something in him shifts, then. He perks to attention from his relaxed state, and though he has no eyes or facial features, I swear I can feel his gaze narrow on me.
“I also read about gay rights,” he says slowly, warily. “Read that gay humans are hated some places. Bad.” He comes closer, looking up at me with all the accusation his flat face can muster. “You hate gay, question?”
/////
Or: Rocky learns about another human custom, and as always, he makes it Grace's problem.

Summary
Ryland looked down at his clipboard, where he had written a reasonable script, supplied earlier that day by Adrian. Unfortunately, the moment his eyes landed on the words, his brain supplied only terrible ways to say them.
He chose the worst one.
“I need flowers with prominent reproductive structures.”
The man went completely still.
Ryland could feel his soul attempting to leave his body.
“For a plant anatomy lab,” he added quickly. “For my students. Middle school students. Not–” He cut himself off, because there was simply no end to that sentence that would improve his situation. Instead, he just weakly smiled, and added “Science.”
-:-:-
Ryland Grace is brilliant with biology, awkward with adults, and far too invested in giving his students the lessons they deserve. Simon Fleischer is a guarded florist who trusts plants more than people and has no interest in being needed by anyone again. But when a forgotten school lab brings Ryland into Root & Thorn, their lives begin to tangle in quiet, unexpected ways – through flowers, roots, and the terrifying possibility of being cared for properly.

That is how it starts.
My pebbles are all good kids and a tight knit group. There are rarely fights or tensions and I can honestly say that they are all friends.
But Sam, showing all of them up with a gift that made Teacher Grace smile softly with tears in his eyes?
That means war.

A lucky find leads to lots of gifts for Teacher Grace from his precious pebbles

Summary
He trusted her. He wanted to help her.
She tried to make herself believe, again, that this was ill advised. That it would sabotage the project.
She was steadier, had better concentration. She could afford to spend a few hours only thinking of a single other human being who needed help with meeting his needs, and who then would look at her with that stare, that utterly and honestly impressed gaze. She could hardly bare it, most times. It was too much trust, and it scared her still. She wasn’t scared of the world trusting her, because she didn’t doubt that she was competent and driven enough to see the Hail Mary through. But this man, a single person, not a number, not a vague recollection, giving her that same magnitude of trust, was unsettling.
She had gotten attached, it was undeniable.It was helping. Perhaps, it would be the thing that carried the project to its end.
_____
Eva Stratt can't afford to be friends, especially not with a man whom she sometimes only tolerates for his scientific knowledge. She can't.

Summary
Rocky is a good dancer, which I already knew. He has good coordination, which is kind of necessary when you have five arms, and he has amazing memory. There's only so much he can do with my clumsy footwork, though.
"You are messing up rhythm," he scolds, though his voice has no bite.
"Am not," I snap, even though I totally am.
"You say rhythm strong weak weak. But you take step strong weak strong strong weak. Irregular. You only have two legs and you still cannot coordinate, question?"
I didn't think first contact would involve this much bullying. "You're so mean to me."
