    Summary

    It's been years since Doctor Ryland Grace saved Erid and Earth. He is content with his life, happy just to teach the next generation of Eridians and have the occasional game night with Rocky and Adrian in his dome. For the most part, nothing changes.

    And that's the problem. Shouldn't Grace, y'know...age? When Rocky indicates that he should be sixty human years old by now, Grace can't reconcile the young face in the mirror with the time that his friend has religiously kept.

    Things get more complicated when another undoubtedly human ship shows up at the edge of the 40 Eridani system. Suddenly Grace is playing ambassador between the two species, and tensions are rising between them. Will this be a successful second contact, or is the peaceful life Grace just wants to live too much to ask for?

    Summary

    The humans threw Grace away. Grace, who worked so hard to save them, who came back for Rocky when he realized the taomoeba would eat through Rocky's ship. Grace, who gave up his chance to go home to save Erid too.

    And then Rocky finds out exactly how Grace ended up in space.

    They're not giving him back now. Grace will always have a place on Erid where he's beloved and cherished the way he should be, even if it takes Grace a while to believe he's worth that. Rocky may or may not have plans to fix up the Hail Mary for the trip back anyways- there were a few things they wanted to say directly to Stratt's face.

    Summary

He had said no. Yet they took him by force anyway. He doesn't want to ruin this perfect moment, but some memories hit too hard to hide, and Rocky has never once let him carry the heavy things alone.

    Summary

    “Hello, Mr. Grace,” she said, not bothering to extend her hand out to greet him, “I’m Eva Stratt with the Petrova Taskforce which, if you are not otherwise aware, operates in tandem with the United Nations."

    Oh? The Petrova Taskforce? A short while before he’d fucked off to somewhere, Ryland had explained to Colt something about the Petrova Line, so it sounded distantly familiar. And incredibly not important to anything Colt would ever be involved in.

    He was confused.

    “Uh. Hi. You already know my name, so…”

    She raised an eyebrow for half a second, then lowered it again.

    “It was given to me by your brother, Dr. Ryland Grace.”

     

    (Ryland isn't taking care of himself. Eva Stratt enlists his twin brother Colt to do it for him.)

    Summary

    Stranded at 40 Eridani with his best friend — who has too many legs and absolutely no concept of minding his own business — Grace has made peace with life on Erid. Then Rocky runs the numbers. The numbers are bad. Grace is declining, slowly but certainly, despite Rocky's best efforts.

    Rocky's solution is exactly what you'd expect: massive, meticulous, and completely non-negotiable. A new ship. A diplomatic delegation. Six years of travel with the only family he has left — which, Grace privately admits, is the first thing that's made going home feel possible. And one small additional item Rocky mentions almost as an afterthought: the thrum has determined that Grace requires a mate, and they have assigned it diplomatic priority.

    Grace has a lot of feelings about this. Rocky is unmoved.
