    Summary

    Adrian had been conflicted about the leaky space blob his mate had brought back from his mission to the stars.

    On one claw it helped his mate to save the stars.

    On the other claw, it was mostly comatose since the two saviors of the universe had come back. It didn’t seem to be useful at all.

    On the other other claw, if what his mate said was true (and his mate would never lie to Adrian), it was the only reason why his mate was even with him right now.

    On the other other other claw, with its health being as bad as it was, Adrian almost never saw his mate nowadays.

    Or Adrian really isn't impressed by one Ryland Grace at first. Will Grace be able to rizz up not one but two erdian baddies?

    Summary

    I can’t go home yet; I don’t want to face Adrian’s gentle comfort; I don’t deserve it. I can’t do anything useful anymore. I did my job and saved the planet, and I guess that’s it. No more engineering for Rocky. Maybe I’ll pick up something else, a new career to fill my time if no one will utilize my painstakingly crafted talents in the engineering world anymore. No, I can’t even pretend. I love engineering, I love making things, working on things, making things better. I need a project to fill up my thoughts until nothing else fits. Why won’t they give me one?

    Grace would give me one. He loves my inventions, praises me more than I can stand to hear. He wants my work still, right? I’m already halfway to the dome before I even realize it. It’s late for Grace, he might not even be awake, but I need to meet him. I need him.

    or Grace settles into Erid life pretty easily. Rocky struggles to do the same.

    Summary

    “Rocky, I’m here, okay? Come back to me, pal, please.”

    Of course I will, I think, drawn to that voice, that strange, wobbling voice, which I care about without knowing exactly why, and I should – it makes me angry, not knowing – I should know –

    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

    Having Grace sacrifice himself so many times for Rocky, it was only obvious that Rocky would come to deeply admire and cherish his alien friend. However, he didn't expect how strong would be his feelings. And how disturbing.
    After so long away from eridian society, Rocky lets himself feel things he never thought possible.

    (Or: Rocky finds out he is a freak.)
