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
Grace messes up an experiment. You are never going to let him live it down, but he's intent on destroying all evidence, and isn't afraid to be childish about it. Fortunately, neither are you.
AKA I have been reduced to using my STEM degree for scientific accuracy in my fluffy fics about...tickle fights. Totally foresaw this during my university education. Amazing.Bookmarked by BeingNormalAboutIt

Summary
Grace, after 40 years, had long ago accepted that he didn't have much time left on Erid but just as he was about to tell his best friend that, Rocky came with a solution.
Aka Grace gets deaged but a little too much so someone needs to take care of him until the Eridian scientists can undo it.

Grace must do his best to reverse-engineer whatever phenomenon landed him in Stratt's body, while Stratt must work with Rocky to investigate Tau Ceti's Astrophage population.

Summary
On their way back to Erid, Rocky and Grace discover a mysterious box. Upon opening it, the two discover some strange changes. Well, perhaps way more than strange.
Rocky finds a new marking on his arm similar to Grace's scar, and Grace finds markings similar to Rocky's on his arms and legs.
Rocky begins to dream and can easily wake from sleep, and Grace can stay up for much longer than a normal human should.
Grace starts seeing sound when it's too dark to properly see, and Rocky starts seeing pops of colour in his sound vision.
Neither can understand what's happening to them and how they're seemingly linked together, but they know there's nothing in the world that could tear them apart.
(TLDR: This fic will include almost everyone's favourite things! Rocky learns about how Grace got on the Hail Mary (Including Rocky witnessing the memory of Grace being sent on the Hail Mary)! Grace can survive in Rocky's atmosphere! Grace will live as long as Rocky! Rocky and Adrian reuinite and Adrian meets Grace! Grace will get to go back to Earth with Rocky (for a bit and then go back to Erid)! Grace will get to confront and get closure with Stratt! Fanart included!)

Summary
A bipedal figure emerged from the wreckage. The alien stood with a dignified, albeit disheveled, posture. Its purplish skin shimmered subtly, shifting hues in the flickering light, while shoulder-length hair—starkly split into white and black—framed its face. Most of its clothing had been reduced to smoldering scraps by the crash. The creature coughed, waving a hand as if to dispel the lingering heat and smoke.
Senku’s logical mind faltered for a moment, captivated by the undeniable reality before him. He coughed lightly, the sound mingling with the rustle of wind that carried embers ever closer. The alien froze, its large, blue-gray eyes widening in alarm at the unexpected noise. Slowly, it turned to meet Senku’s gaze—a gaze that held equal parts scientific curiosity and genuine concern; its long, lizard-like tail twitched fretfully, barely dodging the scattered embers.
Pointing at the left side of the alien’s face—now visibly singed by the flames—Senku remarked in his trademark deadpan tone, “Um… you’re on fire.”
OR alien Gen crash lands in Senku's backyard; shenanigans ensue.

Summary
Its said that a dragon has appeared, far in the north, terrorizing the villages and laying waste to livestock. Hundreds have fled it its wake, trying to escape the beast.
And leaving all their homes unguarded.
Stan, world traveler and opportunist, isn't scared of a single dragon. Because dragons aren't real. But he will take advantage of the chaos and loot a few empty villages in the meantime, and hopefully get a jump on paying off his debts.
His plan goes great, until the dragon proves to be very real, and very interested in Stan.

Summary
Young Ford Pines wakes up in Gravity Falls with no recollection of how he got there. He needs to find out where he is, how he got there and most importantly: what happened to his twin? Soon he finds that things might be even more complicated than that.
Or: Ford was in his second journal phase and might've gotten slightly too into magic and summonings for his own good. It might be difficult to reverse a spell when he’s twelve years old again and doesn't even remember going to high school much less learning about magic. Not really a timestuck-Au! but also yes...in a way.

Summary
Claws faded to short and dirty fingernails, and the bones settled into place to reveal a young man. He looked even worse as a human– his skin filthy, and his long hair just as greasy and matted as the fur had been. His face was badly bruised, blood leaking from a nose that looked like it had been broken several times over, and– Wait. Wait. Ford knew that face. The chiseled jaw, the thick brows– the face looked different now, beat up as it was, but it was all too similar to the face that stared back at him in the mirror.
"Stanley?"
–
Ford comes across a badly abused wolf, only to find that it's not JUST a wolf.

Ford looked back at the table, where a beige and yellow lily was resting in a beaker, and the man put two-and-two together.
“... shit”
“Don’t curse around the kids, you idiot!!”
And at that shout, Dipper started screaming
-In the lead-up to Weirdmageddon, Dipper and Ford try to extract a needed ingredient for Bill-Proofing the house that has a very odd, very unintended side effect - everyone in the Mystery Shack is now half their age!! They all take it with varying degrees of "okay-ness", but how will they get out of this one?
Well, they're working on it, and on the way might end up in a better place than they started.
That is, if they can get out of this in one piece.

Groaning, Jason rubbed his eyes and cracked one open. As soon as he did, his pulse quickened. Something was off. This wasn’t his room.

Why the hell was he in Dick’s room?
OR: After an encounter with an unknown sorcerer, the boys wake up body swapped the next morning. Of course, they decide to fuck with Bruce.

Summary
Left with only three other crew mates, it’s a ready expectation that Sanji will start fawning all over Robin in his usual obnoxious way. However, that’s not what happens. Instead, looking wild around the eyes in a way only someone who knows him well would recognize, the cook doesn’t break stride until he’s firmly within Zoro’s orbit and can wrap both hands around his upper arm, clinging tight.
“Hi, darling,” he chirps, his expression desperately conveying that Zoro needs to play along under pain of death. “Did you miss me?”

Summary
Michael, for all intents and purposes, should be dead. He should've been dead years ago, to be fair, but this time he'd tried his hardest to make sure everything went as planned. But, here he is. Dragging along an angry child wearing a fortnite shirt and chasing down a rogue security guard that (probably) knows his father.
