Summary
My pride stings a little at being so underestimated by a species that couldn’t even outrun a particularly determined turtle if their life depended on it. Look, I’m no Sha’Carri Richardson, but I’m pretty proud of my seven-minute mile. I worked hard for it. I haven’t been able to handle myself like this since I was... well, since I left Earth.
“Y’know what? Let’s settle this once and for all. I could use an endurance test anyway. Good for my cardio.”
Dr. Bones perks up. “You’ll do a demonstration?”
“Absolutely. Give me two rest days and a warmup, then I’ll show you what the average human athlete can do.”

AKA, Grace doesn't consider himself much of an athlete, but he's no slouch either. And he's got the physical prowess of his whole species to represent!
The xenobiology team, on the other hand, is horrified to learn what a 'persistence hunter' is.

False Friends by IvyLee

Summary
In linguistics, a false friend is a word in a different language that sounds similar to a word in your own, but differs significantly in meaning. No word in any Eridian language could possibly be mistaken for English. But Erid absolutely has false friends.
In his right mind, Grace would easily identify the mistaken assumptions inhibiting his integration on Erid. They are:
1: A molecular biologist and a sapient rock can cobble together translation software that reflects the etymological nuance of an entire alien language.
2: Eridians are enough like humans to have an area 51 and look forward to using it.Unfortunately, Grace hasn’t been in his right mind in years.
Or: a ‘Return to Erid’ story where Grace struggles to touch down alone.

Summary
On the trip to Erid, Grace decides to introduce Rocky to the concept of musicals - and decides to perform one for him.
Un(?)fortunately, what Grace wasn't aware of was that this was a very important Eridian courting custom.
Or, in short: Grace basically just asked Rocky out, and he has no idea. Rocky attempts to return the gesture, but for some reason his leaky alien friend isn't picking up on any of his efforts. Shenanigans ensue.

Summary
“He’s going to hate it,” was the first thing out of his mouth when he heard Adrian approaching the barrier.
Grace didn’t even want to think about the pathetic picture that Adrian must have been seeing in that moment: the human that was considered Erid’s savior sprawled on the sand, fingers sneaking behind his glasses to press into his eyes as he wailed.
“Will not,” Adrian sang from the other side of the dome, pressing on the barrier. One of their limbs came down to knock hard on the floor, just as Rocky did when he was upset. Grace was still surprised at how genuinely expressive they both were. “Rocky feel happy if it’s from Grace.”
Or: Ryland Grace's fun (not so fun) adventure in trying to make a perfect gift for his soulmate's birthday.
