Summary
The engineer takes my hand. His skin runs hot. Very hot. He doesn't let go at what I would gauge as a socially-acceptable handshake time interval. Are we just holding hands in the middle of the lab-workshop space? Guess we are.
"I'm Rocky," he finally introduces himself. He has a hint of an accent, something lilting, melodic. I can't really place it.
"Rocky," I repeat, slowly. "Like the movies?"
"No," Rocky deadpans, giving me a look like I'm stupid. "Like the rocks."

Summary
"He needs to keep Loki talking. Keep him conscious. Until help arrives, whenever that is, whatever it looks like. Thor is coming, he has to keep himself convinced of that, or he’s going to fall apart at the seems and they’ll end this in a worse position than they started. “Um,” Bruce says, and finds himself incapable of coming up with any sort of neutral topic whatsoever. He knows so much about Loki and so little at the same time, the important things tucked away where the only person who will find them is himself. “You… What do you like to do? For fun?”
He can’t see Loki’s judgemental expression, but he feels it all the same. “Fun?”"
AKA: After nearly getting killed while trying to get supplies for the Statesmen, Loki and Bruce are stuck together, injured and half delirious.

Summary
"Scenario A: We keep waiting here like dumbasses for rescue.
Likeliest outcome, 99.29% probability: I die, and then you die, and the data is wasted.
Scenario B: You try to drag my mangled body up to the surface.
Likeliest outcome, 99.87%: Your systems fail less than one quarter of the way up, and we die horribly at the same time from impact when you experience catastrophic failure.
Scenario .C: You leave me here and try to make it to the surface by yourself.
Likeliest outcome, 98.12%: Your systems fail before the halfway point, and you die on impact when you fall. I die slowly down here, alone.
[Scenario D: You salvage what you can from my body.
Likeliest outcome, 64.89%: You successfully reach the surface and deliver the data to ART and its humans. Mission casualty ratio is reduced from 100% to 50%, and the colonists are safely retrieved.]"
Yes, 1.0 bolded its preferred scenario, because it thinks I am being dumb.

Summary
Rocky visits Grace's life support quarters with some exciting news, some time into his recovery on Erid---the biodome habitat has finally been completed.
It takes a step through the airlock and sinks down into rough sand and pebbles. I chirp and hop down after it. Grace has not seen the biodome yet, but neither have I, and in my enthusiasm I dart slightly ahead.
Grace inhales so sharply that I turn to hear him better in a panic. “Grace? Grace, what is wrong? You are hurt?”
My assumption is quickly corrected when, without warning, it bolts.

Summary
I was going to live. If this stranger gave me a month’s worth of food I could at least stretch that out with the taumoeba in between. I’d be sick as a dog by the time we reached Erid but I’d be alive.
Rocky continued his happy thrilling for a full minute as I hugged him, and then pulled back and turned to look at the lab.
< What other human want for trade, question? Rocky can make. Rocky make anything! >
“I don’t know pal, but whatever he wants is his!” I said confidently.
—
OR: Starving Grace needs to trade himself for food to survive the trip to Erid. A decision that will traumatize him and Rocky.

Summary
Adrian’s below us. A beautiful swirl of greens. With a view like that, I can only stay a little mad at it with the little “almost killed us” fiasco. Unfamiliar constellations and the arm of the Milky Way fill the rest of my view. I start panning my view closer to Tau Ceti when I spot it.
It’s another Hail Mary.

Grace and Rocky come across a parallel duo. (Multiverse / Human!Rocky and Eridian!Grace AU.)

Summary
“Proof of concept,” ♫♬♯♩♩♫ says. “We’ve tested it thoroughly to ensure it fits the specified nutritional profile, and several members of our team have ingested small amounts of it to ensure there were no adverse effects.”
“You ate some of it?” I ask, rudely. I’m too irate to mind my language. Who do they think they are? That meat is for Grace. In a way, that meat is Grace.
“Yes,” ♫♬♯♩♩♫ says. They and the rest of the human life support thrum know better than to be offended by my occasionally strange behaviour. “Obviously we weren’t going to risk the life of Honoured Grace on a completely untested technology.”
That doesn’t mean much. There’s a lot of things that are safe for ingestion by Eridians that would outright kill a human.
Trust Grace, I remind myself. He’ll have thought of all this.
(OR: Grace's meburgers from the book epilogue. Let's talk about those!)

Summary
People have a image of Dr. Ryland Grace. A bit of an oddball, hard working, loves a punny shirt, and is still very much a teacher for all that he's head scientist. Sometimes, however, he does something that is outside expectations. Even the ones he has of himself.

Summary
One thing that Rocky has learned about humans is that they like to look at pictures.
Maybe. Or maybe it is just a particular habit of his Grace, who seems to pass more and more time sitting in the projection room and looking at his rolling images of Earth.
Rocky likes Earth. Especially the beach. That’s Grace’s favorite place, too.
But the pictures don’t change. Not more than they did the first time Grace showed him, with the waves crashing up onto the sand and the leaves of the trees rustling in the wind.

Summary
One Grace-sleep is not so long.
It is not “night,” but Grace calls it night, and so Rocky does too. One human night. One third of one human day. One three-hundred-thousandth of Rocky’s life so far.
This is what Rocky tells himself. He folds up on his xenonite shelf above Grace’s sleeping area, and he listens, and he fiddles with his clock, and he tells himself that it is not so long.
~~~
Rocky has lived through the deaths of many of his friends. He does not want to lose Grace.

Summary
”Being stubborn!” Rocky accuses. ”Making excuses, statement!” And yeah, I don’t have any defense for that one.
“Will you watch me sleep? I want to take a nap,” I ask without preamble. I’m tired and don’t have the energy to argue right now. Or eat for that matter.
”Yes. Always watch, fact,” he agrees immediately. ”Still mad. But Rocky watch, statement.”
I set aside the laptop, rubbing at my eyes with a tired sigh as I get comfortable right there in the little ‘nest’ as Rocky likes to call it. It makes me feel just a little better. I’m drifting off before I even realize.
OR:
It's been nine months since Grace woke up in space. Stratt only planned for them to be alive for nine months. Which means that Grace has ran out of a very important item: his antidepressants.Bookmarked by ShadowyFuture

Summary
Ryland wakes up on a planet 16.5 light years from home with nearly 2 decades worth of memories missing. He’s done incredible things, or so he’s told, but all of that is overshadowed by the painful process of remembering. Who is he to the Eridians? To the world he left behind? To the companions it seems he gave up everything to be with?
There’s a lot of jagged edges around events from his life that he wishes remained buried. But for the first time, Ryland has the opportunity to pick up pieces previously left untouched, and create a stronger foundation for the new relationships in his one-of-a-kind, wild ride of a life.
(Plenty of angst/hurt/comfort, timey-whimey flashbacks, etc. with fluff and lovely bits holding it together in between)

The texture of my entire tablet shifts as the video plays.
It is a recording of the very room we are in. The angle shows the room from above, looking over the beds. In each bed, I can make out the general shape of a human covered by something. Three in total.
I wait for something to happen. Why is there a recording of the crew in their comas?
