    Summary

    Rose has wandered far and wide. She's seen many things, done many more, run with the Storm and on her own feet, leaped through worlds and ensured the stars would not go out.

    And now she has to learn to live with her Doctor, her real and true Doctor. One advantage? He's settled down at St. Luke's, guarding a vault, so they have time to work things out without being in (as much) life-threatening danger.

    The downside? There's nowhere to run from all the things she didn't notice or forgot in all the time they've been apart.

    In other words: Five ways Rose learned to live with her alien's weird and unusual traits, and one way they could be weird together.

    Summary

    A Rocky POV of Project Hail Mary, but add in a sprinkle of originally named astrophages, petrova lines, and extra, extra worldbuilding.

    ***

    One day, his strumming was not answered.

    The silence that answered his one verse of song was horrible and grating. Incomplete. Empty. A sick, horrible fear built up inside him.

    (He was going to die out here. Alone.)

    Summary

    Kaira is an Omega, a high-ranking Omega with the rare ability to heal and grow plants. In a society where Omega is rare and eyed by a lot of organizations not just for her secondary gender but also for her abilities, Kaira sometimes wished she had been a Beta. Someone normal without being always urged to join dangerous careers like the military forces against the Zerg or the research facilities where their staff dies more than what the static shows, and others that are as dangerous as they can be.

    Resigned to her future, she spends her last day being a no name, but something went wrong when she went home, towards the gifted high-tech mobile capsule that the government gave her to differentiated safely, she woke up not in her home... But in a forest?

    Who is this tall pink lady?
    In short: Messy love story of an omega in Steven Universe pre-canon. Slow burn or Slow romance, I think.

    Summary

    Doctor Derrami, forty two, is the lead researcher in the struggle to save her species from an unknown form of mind control. Billions are being changed into unshakably loyal sycophants with radically altered morality, and they will not stop until everyone has joined them.

    The one difference between Derrami and most of her kind is how terribly aroused she is at the idea of being controlled: she has fought against the idea for so long, but now, her time has come. After months of failed attempts to de-convert her test subjects, her laboratory is attacked. She is now prisoner, and only minutes away from a conversion of her own.

    Thrust into a world of gaslighting, obedience, and sex, the tortured woman can only beg for help from her 'Custodian', Tema: a powerful and beautiful soldier assigned to guide her through her new life. Her master, her tormentor, the object of her newfound lust, and a relentless sadist.

    Summary

    Fushiguro Megumi spent years in college becoming worthy of working at Tokyo Aquarium and Rehabilitation. The top Fin Folk rehabilitation center and Aquarium run by Getou Suguru. Megumi graduates as top of his class, despite the doubt humans cast upon his kind, and the rumors that he didn't earn his grades. Finally, he has landed his dream job, and that's all he cares about.

    But when a critically injured Merrow is rescued from poachers and brought to the facility, everything Megumi thought he understood about his work—and himself—begins to shift.

    ...
    The dorsal fin broke the surface first, a sleek, curved blade cutting through the water without a sound. For a heartbeat, that primal recognition of an apex predator made his heart race. The Merrow swam alongside him, matching his pace exactly.

    Megumi's steps slowed. The Merrow slowed with him.

    The Merow followed him all the way to the feeding platform, never breaking the surface fully, never making a sound. When Megumi finally reached the platform and knelt to prepare the feeding mechanism, the Merrow sank back into the depths. But he could still feel it down there, circling in the darkness.

    Waiting.

    Summary

    The Smoothness of Unused Clay

    1603 of the Queen's Calendar. Cornelius Hale, Natural Philosopher and Reluctant Explorer, has spent six months hiding in an abandoned village on a continent that was supposed to be dangerous and empty. It is neither.

    The Katiian are real; a civilization of bipedal feline people, matriarchal, sophisticated, and ancient in ways that make his Academy training feel like a children's primer. They have finally decided to stop watching him from the treeline.

    What follows is the account of a scholar who crossed an ocean looking for knowledge and found something considerably more complicated; told through his own meticulous journals, and through the private writings of the huntress who chose him before he understood what being chosen meant.
    A story about two people who speak entirely different languages learning, slowly and carefully, to understand each other.

    Summary

    “Are you guys sure that’s not the Hail Mary? It’s still orbiting Erid even though I’m not going home, remember?”
    Rocky stomps again and lets out another noise. Right, stupid. Of course they can tell the difference.

    “We checked that. Hail Mary still in orbit. This spaceship is just outside but will eventually be pulled in. You are sure Earth sends nothing else?”

    “What? How would I know, Rocky? It’s been decades since I left; maybe they did send it. They know about Erid, we talked about it in the videos sent to Earth, remember?”

    Rocky rocks back and forth contemplating the answer. Grace can’t tell if he’s happy with the answer or not. It seems Rocky might’ve come to interrogate Ryland on behalf of the thrum.

    “Rocky is this a sting. Are you undercover right now?”

    or how Major Roy McBride finds himself instead of returned to Earth, on an alien planet 16.26 light years away. But he's in luck there's another human! and some strange things are going on.

    Summary

    I stare at Rocky with dawning horror. “So, you’ve just been naked this whole time?”

    “It is not a big deal!” Rocky says. “You were fine with it the whole journey.”

    “That’s because I thought Eridians didn’t wear clothing!” I say.

    Summary

    The Arbiter's initial studies of human culture didn't happen after the Great Schism; he's figured out things about their species through long observation and plenty of patience. He'll acknowledge their new alliance gives him plenty of resources to fall back on when he doesn't understand something. Frankly, he doesn't get a LOT of the customs these people have.

    But it's good to increase his knowledge: as a curious Sangheili, he has many burning questions, ones he's harbored for years that ought to be answered at long last. There's only one problem he's got no hope of fixing.

    See, he REALLY wishes he could figure out if this 'bond' with his enemy-turned-ally is purely platonic, or he's instigated a serious courtship between them. Chief is being rude in not clearing up the matter but then again, the Arbiter is kind of shitty at clarifying what his questions are.

    Misunderstanding is in plenty but were it so easy to understand one another's intentions, then they'd never learn how to become each other's equal.

    Summary

    [Rocky] caught Grace completely off guard when he asked, "How does Grace have [long, high note followed by two clicks]? Need word."

    They were in the lab and, up until that point, they had been working on their respective projects, Grace bent over one of the microscopes as he ran various tests on some taumeba sample. He did a full spin around in his chair and then skidded to a stop before addressing Rocky.

    "Yeah, of course. What word, buddy?"

    "To mate," Rocky said simply, rocking from side to side.

    "Well, I hate to point out the obvious, but we have 'mate' in our dictionary. You just said it." Grace picked up a pen from the desk and started to spin it as he thought. "Do you need something more specific? Like Adrian is your spouse? Did you two have a ceremony? That would make them either your spouse, husband, or wife depending on what term they'd be more comfortable with. And we call the ceremony itself a marriage."

    "No. Why would Grace need a ceremony to prove his devotion to his mate? That's dumb, dumb, dumb."

    Grace chuckled.

    "You're preachin' to the choir, buddy."

    Summary

    This is a work of what I call "speculative mythology." It's the shared, continuous stories of a highly eusocial people, and the many names that have emerged across the telling and retelling, translating and re-translating of these tales across many generations. It's bug lore, ant mythology, spec myth, a love letter to a people who never existed. There's Skith, who climbed. Akti, who ran. The two-tandem of Sett and Tattik. Rika, who went downward, and who dueled in the Serpent-Tunnel. The Small Colony, the Four Tree Colony, the tumult of Our Mound where no Queen lives, and the great labors of the Gods Inside.
