    Summary

    Once Rocky learned that Grace can whistle, he decided to teach him how to say some basic words in Eridian
    One day when they were close to Erid, Rocky falls ill and is unable to answer to the Eridian message

    Luckily, Grace could answer

    Too bad that Rocky didn't tell just how, juvenile he sounded when he spoke Eridian

    Or

    How Grace confused Eridians about his age

    Summary

    Erid had lost hope of the crew they sent to space ever returning. And then they spot a different ship coming towards them and a pebble talking to them over the radio about how they and Rocky found the solution to the star-killer problem. Chaos, of course, ensues.

    Aka. The Eridians assume Grace is a pebble.

    Summary

    Grace learns from his students that the Eridians have been gossiping about him and Rocky. What spurred these rumors? An upcoming opera about them that's being marketed as a love story. Before they can make a public statement denouncing it, the director makes them an offer: a private showing before the public release.

    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.

    Summary

    In my thoughts, I recall that conversation about me being cute. Could I find Grace cute?

    I focus on Grace for a split moment.

    Then I went back towards my xenonite. Nah, full grown adult over there— despite being around 30 Earth years old, and if that were converted to Eridian math— that was very young. Pebbles could barely speak yet at that age. But this was an alien— a human we're talking about. Grown ass man.

    Or so Rocky thought.

    (5 times Rocky witnesses Grace acting like a pebble, and the 1 time Rocky acts like one himself. Featuring, a reunion between Rocky and Adrien!

    This work was inspired by multiple artworks on Tumblr. Rated teen for sailor mouth Rocky.)

    Summary

    On their way back to Erid, Rocky and Grace discover a mysterious box. Upon opening it, the two discover some strange changes. Well, perhaps way more than strange.

    Rocky finds a new marking on his arm similar to Grace's scar, and Grace finds markings similar to Rocky's on his arms and legs.

    Rocky begins to dream and can easily wake from sleep, and Grace can stay up for much longer than a normal human should.

    Grace starts seeing sound when it's too dark to properly see, and Rocky starts seeing pops of colour in his sound vision.

    Neither can understand what's happening to them and how they're seemingly linked together, but they know there's nothing in the world that could tear them apart.

    (TLDR: This fic will include almost everyone's favourite things! Rocky learns about how Grace got on the Hail Mary (Including Rocky witnessing the memory of Grace being sent on the Hail Mary)! Grace can survive in Rocky's atmosphere! Grace will live as long as Rocky! Rocky and Adrian reuinite and Adrian meets Grace! Grace will get to go back to Earth with Rocky (for a bit and then go back to Erid)! Grace will get to confront and get closure with Stratt! Fanart included!)

    Summary

    “Don’t let the blood get into your ship, okay?”

    That made Grace pause. “What?!”

    “If I die, you have to get my body out of here,” the man pleaded, but Grace had to go. His oxygen was out. The guy would be dead in six minutes. “You have to get me out, even if I’m dead. Hey!”

    “Just hold on!” Grace propelled himself through zero gravity, away from the radio.

    “Don’t leave me here-!” The roar echoed through the ship halls.

    ---

    When Ryland Grace complained about being a little bored, maybe a little lonely, he thought a nostalgic trip around Erid would fix him right up. The last thing he expected was to find deadly space bacteria in deep space and a human. Alive.

    Summary

    Simon didn’t expect his savior to be exactly his type.

    What a welcome sight. Even if this stupidly handsome man ends up being evil, or working for the C.O.I, at least he’d die looking at something good.

    or

    Grace and Rocky find Simon's ship floating in deep space on their way to Erid.

    UPDATE: This fic has been peer reviewed by a NASA engineer who has approved of the science!

    Summary

    Simon died. Eaten and consumed by the Blood Eel. Not until he wakes up in a place called Erid where sentient rocks live and a guy who can’t seem to wear his glasses the right way.

    OR

    Simon gets thrown into Project Hail Mary because he deserves to be taken care of after the ending in Iron Lung. (basically, in other words. Simon and Grace act stupid, made everyone in Erid their spectators of their stupidity)

    Summary

    "Ryland Grace was not a brave man.

    Curious? Yes.

    Cocky? Definitely.

    Kind? Sure.

    But he was not brave.

    Yet when Mary hailed a message to him and Rocky whilst they were in the “Don’t go crazy” VR room; “Blip E on radar, Dr. Grace.” Of course he had to be brave and check it out. As he and Rocky raced towards the cockpit, they looked towards the camera, and the sight caught all the words Grace wanted to say in his throat.

    A submarine. A human-looking submarine."

    Summary

    It should be a coffin. Even if this submarine-thing was lead-lined, it should be a death sentence. But there is a heartbeat. There’s a life force inside and it is human.
    Miraculously, impossibly human.

     

    Less than a year after Grace has landed on Erid; they find a ship. Broken and beaten and left for dead on a moon covered in strange oceans, came a heartbeat. A human. Who they bring back to the only other person for light years. Hopefully the stranger survives.
    Grace swears they will.

    A yap fest, let me warn you: it’ll get worse before it gets better. But it WILL get better. Updates will come as they do

    Summary

    The Eridians have finally gotten the water feature in Ryland's personal zoo enclosure just right (even if Rocky would like him to stop calling his dome that).

    Rocky refuses to believe that humans naturally float. There is no way Ryland's entire species regularly goes into deep water for fun.

    Summary

    Eridian Grace was raised on earth and packed away to go on the Hail Mary expenditure, with very little knowledge on how to be a proper astronaut. When Rocky meets him, he’s confused as to how there’s another life form that looks like him, he then learns the truth, and he’s pissed

    Summary

    Adrien wasn’t all that interested in Grace. Even though Rocky was happy to be back with Adrien, he for some reason spent more time with the human than her.

    But Grace wasn’t going to stick around long, his lifespan was shorter than an Eridian. Grace was nothing more than a phase.

    Adrien decided to let the human know this fact.

    Summary

    "Is it the Hail Mary? Is it fixed?"

    I placed my hand up on the xenonite. My skin was still pale and barely hanging onto my bones, but it would soon be better. They finally figured out how to feed me right, and I was finally able to think clearly again.

    "...No. Different good news."

    Wow, that was a surprise. What could have gotten him that excited?

    "What's the news? You were all excited, so it must be important."

    "I show you 🎶🎵🎵🎶!"
