    Summary

    Grace crossed the house, grabbing his laptop and flopping down across his couch. His laptop rested on the swell of his abdomen as he opened his browser and pulled up a database of symptoms and their potential causes.

    Nausea. Weight gain. Increased appetite. Fatigue. Frequent urination.

    He cross-referenced with an open notebook, writing down possible diagnoses. Stomach viruses, food poisoning, metabolic changes, depression, various kinds of cancers.

    Pregnancy popped up a lot, too. Over and over, for every symptom. None of the other diagnoses appeared for every one of his symptoms.

    “Wouldn’t that be a riot?” Grace muttered to himself. “Human parthenogenesis in the only human on an alien planet."

    ---

    Eridian doctors transferred a human embryo into Grace. They didn't bother asking his permission.

    Summary

    Grace and Rocky are about three months into their trip to Erid when Grace is looking through the Hail Mary's manifest and wondering why on Earth they had packed, like, hundreds of caterpillar cocoons and one pound of bird feathers and remembers that he's a wizard.

    so magic is real and so are aliens, which is about as believable as space radiation, visible light, and the theory of relativity (and, somehow, the story of mary poppins, grace's favorite documentary)

    Summary

    “…Did not think you’d notice.” He finally said, slumping a little. “Did not want you to notice-“

    “In what world would I have missed it, bud?” Grace huffed with an exasperated smile, nudging into Rocky’s side. “You’re the highlight of my day, y’know.”

    Rocky let out a happy chirp, seemingly involuntarily. He hunched in on himself after, as if embarrassed the sound had escaped him at all, and shuffled his legs a little in the sand.

    “As are you of mine.”

    or: rocky gets a new engraving, and grace is much more involved than he ever thought he could be

    Summary

    “If you could be any astronomical object, what kind of astronomical object would you be and why?”
    Rocky cannot be astronomical object. Rocky can only be Eridian.
    “Humor me, pal, I’m dying of boredom over here.”

    (or, snapshots of the fourteen days that Rocky and Grace spent making the chain in orbit around Adrian)

    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?"
