Summary
Mindy Park is rapidly realising that the first intelligent extraterrestrial to make contact with the human race thinks they’re fucking stupid. She’s pretty sure that Dr Grace isn’t accurately translating half the things Rocky is saying, but most of what he is telling her is that Rocky has a better way of doing what NASA wants them to do, and honestly, it seems like Rocky is mostly right. She probably doesn’t want to know what the other half of what Grace’s new alien friend is saying, if the things that are making it through what she’s calling the “middle school teacher filter” are “why would you do something the dumb way when you could do it the right way”.
or,
Mindy has a headache, Grace has trauma, Mark is confused and Rocky is wondering how humans made it in to space when they're all so, so dumb.

Summary
"Soulmates are a concept," Ryland hisses lowly. When half the class glares at him, he shrinks behind his notebook. Not quiet enough, whoops. "My opinion on red threads and the concept of soulmates doesn't reflect how I feel about people in my present life."
Maya, befuddled, scrunches her nose. "But your soulmate is someone in your life."
No, they aren't. Because he doesn't have one.
Ryland Grace doesn't have a red thread. He finds love anyway.

Summary
“Um, hello.” Rocky lifts a hand slowly. The rock spider chitters and attempts to lift one back. But it’s tangled in wire, and the force that the alien uses to tug it free sends his body reeling backwards and thumping against the side of the tunnel. Rocky tries to keep a straight face.
“I’ll call you Grace,” he says. “Clearly you have plenty of it.”
...
Rocky wakes up in the Tau Ceti system, with his commander and science specialist dead. How's he supposed to save Earth?
Befriend the alien scientist he runs into, of course.

Summary
The Eridian thrills a high sound that doesn’t get picked up by the translator which means that it has no clear meaning. Like when a human gasps or sucks in a deep breath. It actually sounds a little like that. When they notice that I’m staring straight at them they scramble back into their hiding spot and hold very still.
A child, I realize with a start.
That’s a child!
“Hey,” I call and the kid squeaks again. I was about to get to my feet but abort the movement and crawl closer on my hands and knees until I'm inches away from the xenonite wall. I wait and it takes me much too long to realize that they don’t have to peek around the corner to see if I’m still there.
“Hey there,” I try again, my voice low and calm. It’s my teacher voice, the one I use for shy and scared students.
Used.
The fact that I haven’t had to use it for years and it still comes to me automatically almost knocks the air out of my lungs but this is not about me, it’s about making sure the little pebble doesn’t die of fright from the scary alien. “Hi, I’m Grace. It’s alright, you don’t have to be scared.”

Summary
Bored out of his mind on the way towards Erid, Grace decides to dive deeper into the endless pile of content that is stored on Hail Mary's computer in search of some easy entertainment. To his utter delight, beside the enormous amount of scientific material, he also finds all sorts of fiction books, movies, songs, and the bane of them all -- youtube videos.

"♩ ♩ ♬ ♩ ♪ ♫! [Mean very important! Not many!]"
Grace racks his brain for a moment, then offers, "Precious?"
"[Yes! Teachers precious! Grace precious!]"
On Erid, teachers are the protected, prized few. Rocky learns that Grace was a teacher, and they have a discussion. (Can it be counted as one if dissonant notes are shrieked at the revelation for the majority of it?)

Summary
“What do you think about your statue?”
My finger freezes on the careful swoop of the “g.” “What, question?” Okay, maybe it’s a little childish to add the “question” bit, but it’s the only way I can think of conveying emphasis right now.
It definitely gets the kids’ attention. “You haven’t seen your statue?”
I have a statue? I glance around the room. Nobody speaks up.
Oh god. I have a statue. Like an actual statue that apparently everyone’s seen except me.
And as if it couldn’t get any worse, “It’s in the middle of the cluster. In the plaza.”
Grace learns that everyone on Erid sees him as a hero. Thankfully, Rocky's there to remind Grace who he really is. Human.

Now Trending: My Mate and the Human They Didn't Want by Acewithapaintbrush

Summary
It's not jealousy. Adrian is adamant about that. They are actually insisting that it’s not any emotion at all. Not even dislike. They are simply completely uninterested in anything that concerns “the human”.
Rocky believes them. Adrian has always been the level-headed one out of the two of them. They are too logical to be jealous. They acknowledge that Grace and Rocky have a special bond after everything they went through together and also understand that none of that will ever pose a threat to their relationship.
Neither are they heartless or ungrateful. They know that Grace is the only reason that Rocky is back at all, the only reason their star has stopped dying. Adrian has told Rocky again and again that they are grateful and happy and wish the alien no ill will. They even helped with the construction of the biodome.
And yet they have no desire to get to know Grace.
**************
You know those videos where the dad is like "You may keep the cat but I will have nothing to do with it" and a few days later they are smothering the kitty with cuddles and love?
Adrian never stood a chance.

Summary
There is nothing heavier than a guilty man’s conscience. There is nothing bloodier than a murderer’s hands still clutching the knife. There is nothing more pathetic than holding the truth while bathing in lies.
Carl isn’t sure when all three of these statements started to apply to him simultaneously, but he’ll make sure at least one of those doesn’t anymore.
(Carl has a video recording of the day Ryland Grace’s life on earth ended, and he’s not taking it to the grave, even if it takes decades to convince himself of that.)

Summary
Ryland Grace — single-income, teacher’s salary — owns beachfront property.
He never, ever thought he’d see the day. His rent-controlled apartment in the Bay Area was older than him, split with two roommates, and still ate most of his monthly earnings. Thoughts of homeownership were infrequent, segregated to extended school breaks — enough days off his bike to send him exercise-endorphin-crashing down an internet rabbit hole.

The top answer, every time?
Get married. Double-income; split the mortgage. Sell your soul for a down payment.
Erid’s ammonia atmosphere is less suffocating.
Rocky makes music; Ryland finds a home. Other Eridians learn and teach in tandem. And they change, change, change.

Summary
"It comes naturally to you. In Eridanese, we are typically very literal. Figurative speech is reserved for art or profanity, so it doesn't come naturally to most of us."
Huh. That's interesting. Rocky never had much trouble understanding me. Maybe he has a poetic soul. Or maybe he swears like a sailor. Probably the latter.
