    Summary

    “I’m not an actor.” Colt chokes out.

    “I know you’re not.” She says gently. Colt wished he was anywhere else but here.

    or

    Summary

    It was easy when the only people Stratt had to manage were adults. There are many that act like children, of course, but they are, ultimately, still adults who can deal with disappointment and difficult circumstances well enough that she doesn't have to feel guilty about it. A six year old child, on the other hand—

    She was not prepared for this.

    Or: PHM AU where everything's the same but Grace is a single dad.

    Summary

    Eridians. I come in peace from Planet Earth, the homeworld of Doctor Ryland Grace. We wish to learn more about your people. Can you hear me?

    She scanned every dial, output, and monitor for any sign of anything at all.

    Nada. Again.

    She sighed heavily. Maybe they were all dead down there. She’d hoped not.

    “I, uh, hey, earthling. Fellow earthling. This is Doctor Ryland Grace. We hear– uh, we copy. Um. Sup?”

    Sup?! SUP?! Years without any human contact, and this guy’s first message is sup? The dead speak, and they are not fucking serious whatsoever.

    ---

    After the success of the Hail Mary mission, Earth sends a foul-mouthed astro-anthropologist to study Erid. She discovers a very-much-still-alive Ryland Grace. Slow burn mutual pining ensues. Will eventually be explicit, but... did I mention the slow burn?

    Summary

    Grace is too late rescuing Rocky. When he finds the Blip-A again, Rocky is already gone, so Grace does the only thing he can think of, and he takes Taumeoba-82.5 to Erid himself. If he can't save Rocky, well, he might as well make sure his death wasn't in vain.

    He's sick, starving, and has no Eridian native to introduce him, but he's going to save Rocky's planet no matter what. After that... he supposes all that's left is for him to die. He's nearly out of food and Yao's gun is still tucked away safely in the Hail Mary's storage.
     
    Fortunately for him, Adrian doesn't plan on letting their mate's best friend die so easily.
