    Summary

    “Need word,” Rocky says in baby-talk Eridian for me. The translator dutifully repeats “need word” in English a second later.

    After fifteen minutes of bewildering back and forth between the three of us, we determine the word he needs is “declension.”

    A year into the journey to Erid, Grace faces down his most formidable academic gauntlet since astrophage: the five-part polyphonic Eridian language. It’s only fair after Rocky mastered English, human mannerisms, Grace mannerisms- without so much as one complaint. And if learning Eridian might temper some of Grace’s desperate, near-complete dependence on Rocky in the future… well. That’s his own business.

    Eridian breaks Grace’s brain, heart, and soul- and puts it back together.

    Summary

    Rocky thought he had all the time in the world after landing back on Erid. Grace thought he didn't have anything at all.

    Both are kind of wrong.

    Between complex Eridian customs and the imminent danger of starvation they somehow, barely, make it out unscathed.

    OR: Look at how much eridian worldbuilding I can cram in the the cosmic love-story between Grace and Rocky, saviours of stars.

    Summary

    “Careful, with that kind of language you’re gonna start a space war.”

    “I am being kind.” Rocky deadpans, and now I’m really grinning. I’m sure it’s the most shit eating grin I’ve worn in the past few weeks, and my chest feels a little lighter.

    “Pfff, you know humans would beat you in a space war anyway.”

    “Yes. You would drown us.”

    I can’t hold back the laughter that shakes my belly as Rocky sits there with his arms crossed—another habit he’s picked up from me—pretending not to be amused.
    The laughter feels warm, it feels earned. Maybe everything will work out. Maybe it was just one bad dream. Maybe I’m not a coward. Maybe it will all be alright.

    Bang!

    The laughter in my throat catches. The lights flicker. An alarm blares from the cockpit.

    Ah. Jinxed it.

    ****

    Grace never really had time to process a lot of the memories that returned in the midst of their world-saving mission. Now, with him and Rocky on the long haul back to Erid together, problems are making themselves known.

    He's not a coward, and he'll do anything to prove it.

    Summary

    That Monkey D. Luffy is apparently his soulmate is the biggest cosmic joke Law has ever experienced, but it doesn't matter, it can't. His mark is burned to faded scar tissue and for thirteen years, Law has been little more than a blood-drenched ghost, carrying out Donquixote Doflamingo's orders from the shadows. He will never be Straw Hat's; Straw Hat will never be his.

    Yet their paths keep colliding, and when Law decides to make a bid for freedom that he knows will cost him his life, here is Straw Hat, determined to help. Here is Straw Hat, looking past the blood, the scars, the howling phantoms, and seeing someone good, someone human, someone worth the tentative bond between them. Someone with a future.

    (Or it is both terrible and wondrous, being loved by the sun.)

    Summary

    It’s weird. To be taken care of. To have someone watching over you. To be cherished just for the sake of it.

    Why would someone do that? When my purpose is already accomplished, and I don’t matter anymore, why would someone look after me? Why would someone hold me dear? Why would he hold me dear?

    ”I don’t deserve it” I can’t help but think.

    ”I don’t deserve him”

    On days like this, I’m thankful that Eridians — that Rocky — seem to be able to hear everything about me but my thoughts.
    On these days, the only privacy I can find for myself is in the depths of my mind. That’s not a kind place to be. Never has been.

    Summary

    What the title says. About 11 years ago (from my perspective; relativity is weird) I was launched into space onboard the Hail Mary to figure out a solution to the Astrophage problem. Now I live on an alien planet I call Erid, in the 40-Eridani system. Yes, I’m actually Ryland Grace. Ask me anything.

    Also, can someone please tell me if Eva Stratt is alive? And ideally send me a video of you punching her in the face? Guess that’s a long shot, but it can’t hurt to ask.

    ---

    Grace and Rocky figure out how to connect to Earth's internet from Erid. They may not have thought this through.

    Summary

    Adrian’s response tune is low and deep, calm like the tide in the wavepool they were sitting next to.

    [Yes. Can indicate Grace health in many ways. We discover this from human biology scientific journals you provide. We use to assess your nutritional needs, track your recovery progress, conduct tests to confirm biological functions working adequately. Plus…]

    They gently tap their carapace against Rocky’s, making the smaller Eridian chirp with glee.

    [Rocky here will not let Adrian know peace if science team not use all tests for Grace benefit. Understand, question?]

    Erid's science community is interested in Grace's biology, in more ways than one. Adrian and Rocky enlist the help of his personal medical team to facilitate assessments of his sexual health.

    Summary

    I had no word for flesh before Grace.

    No words for soft or light.

    There are words Grace uses that are only found as concepts in the oldest and most fantastical of Eridian songs. He freely uses words that are hidden in lullabies for eggs and pebbles. I sing those songs to my Grace as he sleeps. As his blood pulses under his flesh.

    Summary

    Grace has a crush on his alien roommate. It's fine. He's handling it. He's definitely not thinking about Rocky's hands, or his voice, or what it would feel like to have those claws anywhere near his--

    Okay, maybe he's not handling it.

    And Rocky is listening.

    Neither of them understands what that means to an Eridian.

    Summary

    By Eridian standards, Grace is disgusting and terrifying. That’s what Rocky is thinking about at least as Grace trips over a storage container that he left out in his own path.

    This creature that should be terrifying and disgusting is really quite clumsy. It’s almost… cute.

    Grace nodded, a similar gesture to Eridian jazz hands before walking away and proceeding to trip on the exact same storage cube. Yes, Grace was cute, Rocky decided, clumsy and cute.
