    Summary

    Grace squeezes out a wet chuckle, thick with emotion, before suddenly falling silent. Its mouth does that strange up-down up-down movement, like it’s trying to figure out if it’s perplexed or amused. “Wait a minute—“ The human flops on its side to face them.

    “Rock, that almost sounds like I’m your kids’ \.\\.”

    “New word.”

    “Uh… companion animal.”

    —————

    Or

    Grace and Rocky talk about evolution, family dynamics, and dogs.

    Summary

    "It comes naturally to you. In Eridanese, we are typically very literal. Figurative speech is reserved for art or profanity, so it doesn't come naturally to most of us."

    Huh. That's interesting. Rocky never had much trouble understanding me. Maybe he has a poetic soul. Or maybe he swears like a sailor. Probably the latter.

    Summary

    ‘Through the cotton that’s surely stuffed in his ears, he thinks he hears something. Music? It doesn’t sound like typical music, yet something about it makes him feel as though it’s trying to claw through the deep fog enveloping his brain. Something… familiar.

    But he just can’t be bothered to dwell on it. Given the sheer fatigue trying to smother him, he’s surprised he even has the strength to breathe.’

    Or: Grace struggles with starvation. In his brief bouts of clarity, he notices that he isn’t alone.

    Summary

    “It’s different when I’m… looking at it. Thinking about it. Do I need to tell you again about the whole ‘taboo’ thing? I can go over it again.”

    “And I watch you. We are already several layers deep into taboo.”

    “I would be eating myself!”

    “Grace,” I can’t help but stamp a claw for emphasis. It needs to listen,”your body is already eating itself.”

    Summary

    "There's no sound in space. Not after the last of my crewmates died; it was just the ambient noise of our ship ever since. Nothing else. Not for a long, long stretch of time. Quiet is one of the worst things for us. Same as darkness for humans, I suppose. We try to avoid it as much as we can; Eridians, when together, rarely sit in silence. There is always talk or song or at least hums that carry no meaning and rythmic taps. Just to say I am here."

    or; after being away for so long, coming home doesn't go exactly the way Rocky had expected it to.

    Summary

    “Sleep. I watch,” he warbles from his post at the door. The first thing he’s said to me in hours. We haven’t talked about anything yet, aside from his pushing to prove I wasn’t hiding more contraband. I scowl at him.

    “Don’t want to.” I feel like one of my kids with the level of petulance that seeps into my voice. I miss my kids. I miss having a place. I have a place here, I need to accept it’s just… Different. Still, I’m not gonna listen to Rocky right now.

    Rocky grumbles at me. “Scientists say Grace hasn’t slept in 32.6 hours.” Jeez, has it really been that long? I don’t think I’ve had an all-nighter that bad since college. “Cognitive impairment begins after only 24. Bad decisions, dangerous thoughts like you mention. Why you are sick.”

    “You left me.” I didn’t mean to say that. Too late.

    or Grace is having a hard time adjusting to life on Erid, and it only gets worse when Rocky disappears. They work it out.

    Summary

    As their journey to Erid nears its end, Grace allows himself to feel hopeful about the future. The Hail Mary has survived far longer than she was ever intended to, Rocky is practically vibrating with excitement about returning home, and Grace has more or less managed to stave off the worst effects of malnutrition. Things seem to be going well.

    Until he wakes up one morning with a fever and a harsh cough and is granted a stark reminder of just how fragile his human body truly is.

    Summary

    “Name is ♪♫♬♪♪♫. They analyze eridians, and their behaviours. How they live, what they like. They want to do this with Grace, too, like the doctors, but differently. Talk to Grace the Person, not the Human”

    “An anthropologist,” I realize. “I think that’s what you mean." Apparently, he likes my word, because he doesn't push further.

    chat, it was not an anthropologist

     

    or; One would think that not being in a life threatening situation would be enough to start taking life a little more easy. Landing on Erid was supposed to be his happy ending. It's not as simple as that.

    Summary

    Grace’s first days on Erid are not easy. In fact, he’s so sick and wounded from starvation, scurvy, and an almost-crash that he barely remembers it. What he does remember is the betrayal and pain that he experienced on Earth.

    Lucky for him, his best friend left him in good hands. Now if he could only figure out who that is and if he’s safe with them.

    Summary

    Relatively speaking, Grace and Rocky are both somewhat unusual. It brings them closer together.

    Or: FtM Ryland Grace explains social constructivism to his genderless alien buddy (badly), Rocky decides he wants to be less genderless actually, and Grace and Rocky love each other in every universe.
