Summary
The arrival at Erid is a momentous occasion. Rocky is excited and thrilled. Ryland is overwhelmed. But the reunion is happy, beautiful, amazing.
Or that's what it should have been. Except Rocky gets hurt, Ryland is left to try and communicate with an alien planet, and everyone is scrambling to figure out how to do this. To Grace, this is incredible but also bittersweet - he got Rocky home safely with the taumoeba, now he just gets... to starve. To Erid, this is insane - how did Rocky show up in an alien spaceship with a child???
...
Ryland Grace is stuck trying to speak Eridian, immediately makes himself sound like a child, and Rocky's world and family scramble to help this strange pebble. Misunderstandings galore, alongside hurt/comfort and angst and fluff.

Summary
There were times after Rocky moved into the Hail Mary when Grace would be hunched over an experiment, struggling to make things work; struggling to find the solution that Tau Ceti held, then struggling to grow nitrogen-resistant Taumoeba faster. Sometimes he would sit staring at the farm-tanks, slouched in his chair with his hands dangling over his knees, and whisper to himself. “Please,” he would say. “Please, please, please.”
“Who is Grace talking to?” Rocky had asked in the stilted way he’d been stuck with at the time.
“No one,” Grace had shrugged. “Or anyone. Anyone who’ll listen.”
Rocky does not understand humans. But now, he sits on the shore of an infant sea, a brand-new constructed world all around him just waiting for its single lonely occupant to take control of it, and wonders if human senselessness is worth a shot.
“Please,” he whispers, running his claw through the water. “Please, please, please.”
The sea does not respond.
Or, what if your friend accidentally catches the attention of a god in hopes of saving you, and that god falls in love with you instead?

Summary
Grace is a pebble. An alien pebble, but a pebble nonetheless. Rocky and Adrian know they're the only ones suitable for caring for said pebble. Said pebble has yet to get the memo. In unrelated news, Ryland Grace has a headache.

Summary
Her desperate swing makes the rock connect with his temple. A harsh strike to that vulnerable spot that has felled so many larger men before him. Alicent hears a sickening crunch before the man looming over her crumples to the floor at her feet.
Shock grips her by the throat as she looks down. Eyes widening as she stares in alarm at the ever-expanding pool of blood spreading beneath his still form. The wound in his head is bleeding profusely. (Is he–is he dead?) Her breathing stutters out of constricted lungs, her heart races as the realization catches up to her: she killed somebody.
Or:
What if Alicent had killed Lord Jasper? An alternate take on the Fall of King’s Landing.
