    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

    What would being Eridian be like?

    Not being able to see, no eyes, no mouth, no face. Living for hundreds of years longer than any human. Walking freely around the alien planet you've been living on. Speaking with other Eridians properly. Teaching your students more effectively. Being able to touch other living things…

    Grace's breath hitches at that thought.

    or

    Grace gets to be an Eridian so he can hug Rocky properly (and not die!)

    (fic name comes from the Phoebe Bridgers song "I know the end" -a really great song highly recommended <3 )

    Summary

    In Eridian years, Grace is a pebble. This is not an issue, until it is.

    Until Rocky suddenly realized that the humans did not pebble-proof their spaceship.

    ...how do you stop a pebble with the brain of an adult human teacher and scientist from wreaking havoc on their own ship?

    Summary

    “Hello?” I sing out. It comes almost naturally, scarily naturally.

    The man's head whips over toward me, and I feel like I’m going to throw up. I can see his face. His eyes and mouth are closed, and the features are still blurry, but that doesn't really matter.

    That's…

    Me.

    ~

    In which Rocky and Grace body swap and get to experience life as a completely different, new species :))

    Summary

    A comic re-posted from my Tumblr

    There's no reason Simon would wake up on the Hail Mary and act rationally after dying in a blood ocean.

    So, he doesn't

    Good luck to Grace and Rocky
