    Summary

    Rocky has a question about human communication. Grace tries to answer it.
    In other words: human pleasure and human pain sound too similar, and need careful study to be able to be distinguished.
    The author also sneaks in a rant about allonormativity. In character, of course.

    Summary

    "... What are you doing?" Rocky says in confusion. "Why are you standing in the middle of the living room looking like you're about to puke, question?"

    "Oh!" Grace says. "Shi - crap. Am I doing it wrong?"

    "Doing what wrong?"

    "The - necklace. Thing. Courting. Me?" Grace chokes out.

    Rocky stares.

    "You are trying to court an Eridian?" He says dumbly.

    ***

    It takes Rocky one year to realize how much he loves his human.

    It takes Grace four times as long to realize that that love is reciprocated.

    Gosh flipping darn it.

    Summary

    Rocky doesn't know how to feel about birthdays. He knows less what constitutes "good" gift-giving on Earth, or at what point structure becomes art.

    But Grace saved his life. It's only fair he gets a little life back.

    (Standalone vignette set before my other fic)

    Summary

    “He’s going to hate it,” was the first thing out of his mouth when he heard Adrian approaching the barrier.

    Grace didn’t even want to think about the pathetic picture that Adrian must have been seeing in that moment: the human that was considered Erid’s savior sprawled on the sand, fingers sneaking behind his glasses to press into his eyes as he wailed.

    “Will not,” Adrian sang from the other side of the dome, pressing on the barrier. One of their limbs came down to knock hard on the floor, just as Rocky did when he was upset. Grace was still surprised at how genuinely expressive they both were. “Rocky feel happy if it’s from Grace.”

    Or: Ryland Grace's fun (not so fun) adventure in trying to make a perfect gift for his soulmate's birthday.

    Summary

    The man reaches for a screwdriver, returning to fiddling with the gear in front of him, “What, you don’t want to? Are you embarrassed of us? Embarrassed of me? Really, kid, I thought that you—”

    “I’m not embarrassed,” Peter rushes to defend himself, “I just… I don’t know. It’s weird. I live here. We’re basically going on a tour of my house. And half my classmates don’t believe that I’ve even stepped foot in the tower, so they’re all going to be weird about it tomorrow, and it’s… it’s weird. But I’m not embarrassed.”

    “Great! If you’re not embarrassed, you don’t mind if I tag along, right?”

    His eyes widen, and he gapes, mouth opening and closing wordlessly like a fish out of water. He thinks about Mr Stark meeting Dr Grace, and decides the longer he can go without an impromptu teacher-parent meeting, the better.

     

    or

     

    Of all the things Peter thought would happen on their field trip, finding out that his parental figure used to date his science teacher was not one of them.
