Summary
"We're making progress on the vitamins! Sort of.
There's a lot of research to do before we get anywhere near the lab on this, and it's hard to know if we'll be able to get anywhere with our severely limited resources. At least if we can gather enough information, we can give the Eridian scientists something to work on when we finally arrive. I say we; Rocky has been focused on translation mostly, although he's working on a secret side project that he won't tell me about."
Rocky and Grace have a lot to figure out. Some of those things are very, very complicated, and some are much simpler than either of them expect.

Summary
There was sand in his shoes. His skin was tacky with sweat and gritty from the wind and he could think of nothing but the smell of Q’s cheap shampoo and the way steam clouded the cracked mirror in his tiny bathroom.

Summary
Rocky makes the flexible xenonite membrane to comfort Grace.
Eridians don't sound like this, the fleshy parts of us are more internal and not so… active? There's just so much to hear, with it in my arms like this. The textures of its skin, the lines where the skin folds out of habit. The burn where I touched it, really touched it.
Inspired by jadepataki's Boundary Conditions.

Summary
Two days after their first contact—and more importantly, their first words—Grace sets up his thinking machine to speak.
Rocky does not need the assistance of a machine for Grace’s language. It is ugly and harsh to listen to, but it’s relatively simple to learn. That, and, well—Rocky was alone for a very, very long time before he met Grace. He maybe hangs on to each word a little more than strictly necessary. Grace only needs to tell him each word once for Rocky to know it forever.
Grace, though…
Well, he’s lucky Rocky is patient. Let’s leave it at that.

Summary
Undeniably, Adrian’s life will change irreversibly once again just for having sat in this ship, having chatted with an alien being from another solar system; he would be a fool if he didn’t understand that before stepping aboard.
What Adrian did not foresee: whatever strange, powerful allure this human has established over his mate is fully transmissible.

Summary
“Eridians know about sex,” he begins, and I stifle myself before I can say I’ll bet you do because I know he’s trying to go somewhere with this. “But gender, it is more difficult. Erid not have social equivalent, language not have equivalent. We use same pronoun for everything, even not-Eridian things and not-alive things. You say humans, they are bothered by the wrong pronoun; you will be upset that we do not use for you a male pronoun, question?”
I furrow my brow and grin in disbelief. “Rock, no, that’s quite literally the least of my worries right now.”
