    Summary

    Overworked molecular biology student Ryland Grace has a terrible habit of sleeping through his early morning alarms. But, fortunately and unfortunately for him, his engineering roommate, Rocky, happens to have both sensitive hearing and an inclination for organized chaos... and maybe plenty of other things that Grace can't help himself from falling for.

    or, “oh no, I think I might be falling in love with my roommate but I’m sure that he’s definitely pissed at me because my alarms wake him up too early in the morning.”

    Summary

    Ryland Grace wakes up, goes to work, feels the rain on his face, teaches his students, cries over the galaxy, and dreams about a rock.

    Wait.

    What's that last one all about?

    There is a feeling in the back of his head like he's forgetting something. Is he forgetting something?

    Is he forgetting something again?

    Summary

    A series of short fics exploring Grace and Rocky's friendship, among other things. (Each chapter is its own story; I just wanted to have them all in one place.)

    Chapter 1: Rocky thinks humans are equally disgusting and cute. Somehow, through it all, Grace reminds him of home.
    Chapter 2: Rocky can pick Grace up easily, and Rocky thinks it is very funny. Rocky and Grace tease each other.
    Chapter 3: Eridians bring Grace their babies for him to see, and Grace learns about Eridian culture/religion. Grace is also bad at taking compliments.
    Chapter 4: Rocky makes Grace celebration jewelry. Later, Grace gets a similar gift from Adrian.
    Chapter 5: Grace and Rocky tease each other, and Rocky is introduced to the idea of throwing things at your friends. He decides that humans are odd, but maybe aren't all that bad.
    Chapter 6: Grace tries to convince Rocky to swim, but Eridians don’t typically like deep water because they are heavy and will sink/drown. Grace learns about some Eridian mythology.
    Chapter 7: Grace talks about the lack of support teachers have on Earth. Rocky is confused by this.

    [This has a limit, so new chapters will have their description at the beginning of the chapter instead]

    Summary

    Grace knew that there were going to be cultural differences between Eridians and humans.

    Rocky knew this, too, but no matter how foolish humans could be, even the densest of them knew this was courting, right? Right??

    -
    AKA Grace keeps doing things that Rocky percieves as courting (per Eridian traditions) and is entirely clueless about it

    Summary

    Rocky has officially moved into Hail Mary with Grace, but he's still dealing with the aftereffects of living nearly fifty human years by himself. By chance, he finds himself singing with Grace, and it's clear Grace doesn't fully understand what that means for Eridians.

    This story roughly follows the plot of both the book and the film, but Rocky and Grace's personalities are more reminiscent of the book. Furthermore, Rocky's speaking style closely follows the book, although his physical appearance is closer to his depiction in the film.
