    Summary

    The arrival at Erid is a momentous occasion. Rocky is excited and thrilled. Ryland is overwhelmed. But the reunion is happy, beautiful, amazing.

    Or that's what it should have been. Except Rocky gets hurt, Ryland is left to try and communicate with an alien planet, and everyone is scrambling to figure out how to do this. To Grace, this is incredible but also bittersweet - he got Rocky home safely with the taumoeba, now he just gets... to starve. To Erid, this is insane - how did Rocky show up in an alien spaceship with a child???

    ...

    Ryland Grace is stuck trying to speak Eridian, immediately makes himself sound like a child, and Rocky's world and family scramble to help this strange pebble. Misunderstandings galore, alongside hurt/comfort and angst and fluff.

    Summary

    “You are not sleeping.” Rocky observes after a while longer of Ryland flopping from side to side and huffing in increasing impatience. “You said you would sleep.”

     

    “I’m trying.” Ryland mutters. “It’s not as easy for humans as it is for Eridians.”

     

    Sleep has been an increasingly large problem as of late. Ryland sits around all day, tries to convince himself to do something productive, fails, eats chalky pasty coma-slurry, stares into (literal) space until his eyes start to burn, and then lies awake in bed feeling miserable about his life choices.

     

    Or, as he remembers now, not choices.

     

     

    It's a long trip to Erid, and then the rest of his life, however long that may be. Luckily, Ryland has the best company in the galaxy along for the ride.

    Summary

    Ryland Grace stood in the corner. Almost exactly as she remembered him, but she had never seen this expression on his face. To call it sadness would be to diminish the anguish carved into his features. It was as if he was grieving his own self, slowly, carefully, a monster digesting its own bones.

    But the only monster in this room was her.

    “You’re not here,” Stratt said.

    or: stratt is haunted by the guy she sent to die

    Summary

    Eridians show affection mostly through singing, or by making gifts. Rocky has always found it an easy, uncomplicated way to express his feelings.

    Human affection is neither easy nor uncomplicated, he quickly discovers. It’s full of strange customs, involves a lot of touching and is, sometimes, worryingly violent.
