    Summary

    "I was just having a… nice dream, and my body responded. It’s a… natural biological process.” Ryland makes the conscious decision to not tell Rocky what it’s called. “It’s related to reproduction, sort of."

    “Oh,” Rocky says. “Understand. Is biological process finished now, question?”

    Even through the filter of the computer voice, Ryland can pick up on Rocky's devious tone. He knows the answer to his question. Ryland had gone over basic human reproductive biology with him on like, day 25 of their relationship. Friendship? Whatever. And Rocky never forgets anything, so of course he knows he wasn’t “finished.” He can tell Ryland is embarrassed, and he’s trying to make it worse, for some reason.

    Well, it’s working. Despite his best efforts to remain neutral, Ryland is pretty sure he's blushing down to his chest.

    “Yes and no,” he finally answers, trying to ignore that despite everything that’s happened since he woke up, he’s still very hard in his underwear. He rubs at his face, trying to make the blush go away. “I’m… going back to sleep.”

    “Okay,” Rocky says. “Sweet dreams.”

    That little… fudging… freak. Darn him to heck.

    Summary

    After the Taumoeba leak, after I decided to die after all and turned my ship around to save Rocky, after Rocky's frantic calculations about food supplies, Taumoeba multiplication rates, and human caloric intake needs, after we realized that with some rationing and luck I would make it, but that we were headed toward the unknown territory of trying to rapid-prototype me a life support system and synthetic food supply on an inhospitable planet: after all of that, after everything, I shouldn't have been surprised that it only took a few months on board the Hail Mary for things to get weird.

    Summary

    Ryland Grace couldn’t say he’s ever had a best friend. Fudge—he couldn’t even remember the last time he’d gone out on a proper hangout. Well, that was until he met Rocky, his new best friend. A rock spider. And now Earth’s scientists are asking him all sorts of weird questions like “How many distinct notes does Eridianise possess?”, “Is xenonite used to construct Eridian dwellings?”, and “How close exactly are you with the Eridian named Rocky?”. What has his life come to?

    a.k.a. Humans want to establish diplomatic relations between Earth and Erid and Grace is caught in the crossfire.

    Summary

    Three years after the probes carrying Taumoeba and Dr. Ryland Grace's final message arrive on Earth, humanity launches an interstellar spaceship with a brand new mission. Thirty-six crew members (including two graduates of a certain San Franciscan junior high school) travel to the star 40-Eridani to make friendly contact with the Eridians and bring them the alien life form from Tau Ceti-E that can save their star if Dr. Grace's sacrifice failed.

    Grace, now fifty-seven years old, is just trying to balance his life as a teacher while no longer being the only human on the planet anymore. It's a big adjustment, but Rocky and the Terra's Grace crew are going to make sure he's well taken care of.
