    Summary

    When Ryland Grace left earth, he had no spouse or child to leave behind. He didn't even have a dog. That didn't mean that there weren't people who noticed his absence.

    Summary

    "Social conditioning, Rocky had realized with awe. (Or maybe brain damage. Or maybe some kind of sexual deviancy. Rocky would need to prod further about that.) Such utterly different ways to Eridians. How about that.
    And wretched lonely perverted strange Rocky, who had seen all of its crewmates die and had no ways to solve the problem alone, decided that it had been far enough away from Erid and other Eridians long enough. What’s another social construct broken? "

    Just because the interactions between species are understandable doesn't mean everything under the hood, so to speak, lines up one-to-one.

    Rocky learns about human society. And it would just like to know: what the actual fuck???

    Summary

    Grace and Rocky’s unlikely friendship saved the day. They found the cure to save the stars. Their mission is done. Now, Grace thinks, they'll have to say goodbye.

    But Rocky has seen the signs: regardless of what Grace thinks, Earth is not safe. He has different plans, kinder plans, for his human. Ones he will enact.

    Even if it has to be against Grace's will.

    Summary

    He’s fine, he’s slept alone before, he can sleep alone again. He doesn’t need someone watching him, he’s not a baby, crying in the dark for a… what’s the word…. nightlight! Adults don’t babble for their parents after a nightmare. His skin doesn’t crawl, there’s no sense of impending doom, there’s no danger crawling up from the shadows, and there’s certainly nothing wrong with Rocky- he’s in the next room over, the same place he’s been for the last few days, working on his project alone, just like he wanted-

    Grace is tired. He’s so, so tired.

    Or: Grace and Rocky have an argument that results in them avoiding each other, which leads Grace to realise he's become more reliant on Eridian customs then he first thought.

    Summary

    Grace flexes its jaw, shifts the marker towards one corner of its mouth, then removes the marker without actually consuming it. It makes a sharp pop as it leaves Grace's mouth, brightening the tubing in Grace's nose.

    "I've got it reversed," Grace decides.

    I unfreeze enough to let out a loud and pointed noise of disgust.

    "Yeah, sorry buddy. This isn't exactly my wheelhouse."

    Without acknowledging the aborted attempt to eat the marker, nor wiping it's digestive fluids off of it, Grace taps the square it paused over again.

    "This is actually a second cousin," It says.

    I decide not to ask.

    -

    Or: The road to Erid is long. Rocky spends it slowly figuring out what it means to be human, and how Grace muddles along through it.
