Summary
“Grace. What are you testing, question?”
Rocky. I can’t put this all on the guy right now. He should be happy. We are going to Erid. We are going to save his planet.
“CBC. A complete blood count.” I answer, hoping he doesn’t ask me why.
“Purpose, question?”
Rocky, please. I’m trying to spare you right now.
Basically, Grace gets exposed to a dangerous amount of radiation during an EVA and doesn't want to tell Rocky bc of what happened to Rocky's crew <3
THIS IS A REWORKED VERSION OF "TEMPEST" - after some comments, I wanted to keep the soul of the story, but make it more scientifically plausible. While there are still probably some inaccuracies, I still hope this isn't as messy as before.

Summary
In which Dr. Ryland Grace, experienced middle school teacher, recognizes that he's being treated like a child. He attempts to correct it before Rocky wakes up after an injury on the way to Erid.
Bad luck, malnutrition, and general malaise make this difficult.
(Five times Dr. Ryland Grace attempts to convince Erid that he's a grown man, and the one time Rocky's successful.)

Summary
“Grace,” Myrta began gently. “What do you have there?”
Grace paused, before extending the object to them instead. It was a plain tube, no bigger than a single claw-digit, with an unidentified smear of... something, resting at the bottom. “Staaar-eat.”
“‘Star-eat’,” Theodor moaned as they picked themself back up. “‘Star-eat’, it says. You let a hatchling into a lab for λλ seconds and it finds unsecured star-killer rolling around the back of a drawer. A single micron from that tube could vapourize the space elevator so thoroughly they wouldn’t even feel a speck of us landing down below.”
“Ah, geez. I should’ve expected that."

Within the tight quarters of the Hail Mary, misunderstandings, arguments, and accidents are bound to happen. It's especially unfortunate when all three happen at once.

Summary
Come on, brain, I try to tell myself. You’re not seriously still hung up on this, right? That was ages ago. It’s research time right now. Rocky just gave us an absolutely fascinating demonstration. It seems Eridians evolved to use complex camouflage to mimic their environment’s texture and disguise themselves from their prey. I wonder if this need to create incredibly intricate disguises for blending into their environment contributed to their eventual development of complex material and tool use?
YOU’RE DYING WE’RE DYING HE’S MURDERING US WE’RE GOING TO DIE, my brain helpfully supplies.
Gee. Thanks, brain.

Summary
“Rocky’s been away from home a very long time. And he’s never exactly told me he’s homesick. He’s never exactly talked about how much it hurts him to be apart from Adrian for so long. When he’s happy, everything is Erid, Adrian, Erid, Adrian. And when he’s not… he closes in on himself. When that happens, I don’t push. I give him space.”
The Hail Mary is getting closer to Erid all the time, and the future is uncertain. Grace will eventually run out of coma slurry. Rocky doesn’t know if Adrian will still be waiting. And neither one of them knows if they will ever truly find a home. It’s a leap in the darkness. A Hail Mary. And all you can do is trust.
Sequel to Sing Name, and we're gonna get to Erid. You don't have to have read Sing Name to read this, but some parts will make more sense if you have.

Summary
Rocky knows Grace is acting strangely. He's easily annoyed, shaky, and extremely fatigued. He can't seem to get warm or stay awake or get rid of a very persistent headache, so focusing on work is out of the question. Most of all, he's being uncharacteristically irritable. Rocky has seen these problems before and knows that if he would just eat something and drink some water, he'll feel better, so he's frustrated by his stubborn refusal to do either.
However, Rocky doesn't know enough about human biology to know that these symptoms don't always mean a missed meal, and Grace is more than just hangry. His burn wound is infected, but Rocky doesn't know that what Grace is displaying are symptoms of illness, so he doesn't see how serious his complaints really are until it's almost too late.
Rocky POV because I love him so bad. Title is a Dessa song of course

Summary
Ryland Grace and Rocky the Eridian have arrived on Erid. Unfortunately, they encounter a bit of trouble upon docking, and Ryland is injured. Thankfully, he prepared for a scenario like this... but those preparations don't hold out long enough. Rocky and Ryland's new Eridian care team have to come up with a solution before Ryland dies without even getting so much as a glimpse at Erid.
or:
“Grace Grace Grace,” Rocky rolls even closer, “No leaking allowed.”
“Again, this is on purpose, Rock. Remember when I got hurt after Adrian? I was bleeding then, and if it happens again, I might bleed more. This blood will go back into my body, then.”
“Not happening again, statement. Grace no bleed.”
“You can’t prevent bleeding, Rocky.”
“Rocky will try.”
“Okay, Rocky.”or:

Summary
The arrival at Erid is a momentous occasion. Rocky is excited and thrilled. Ryland is overwhelmed. But the reunion is happy, beautiful, amazing.
Or that's what it should have been. Except Rocky gets hurt, Ryland is left to try and communicate with an alien planet, and everyone is scrambling to figure out how to do this. To Grace, this is incredible but also bittersweet - he got Rocky home safely with the taumoeba, now he just gets... to starve. To Erid, this is insane - how did Rocky show up in an alien spaceship with a child???
...
Ryland Grace is stuck trying to speak Eridian, immediately makes himself sound like a child, and Rocky's world and family scramble to help this strange pebble. Misunderstandings galore, alongside hurt/comfort and angst and fluff.

Summary
"Many stages in Eridian reproductive process. Rocky Adrian laying cycles finally sync up recently. So, Rocky Adrian think finally time for eggs. Adrian lay five eggs, very good. Only, strange thing happen. Rocky only lay one egg."
“Oh,” I say. “That’s unusual, right?”
"Very," Rocky hums.
My throat tightens. "Does that mean there's something wrong? Are you sick?"
Rocky makes a gesture I usually interpret as "not exactly". "Not sick," he says. "But doctors still worry. When Eridian start to make fewer eggs, this usually means laying period of life is over soon. Rocky very young for this. Rocky supposed to be in ideal time of life for laying. Rocky younger than Adrian, even." He shifts on three of his feet. Already, my mind is racing ahead, wondering -- "Doctors told Rocky to ask Grace, is this radiation side effect, question?"

Do You Know What it is to be Loved by the Universe? by VenetaPsi

Summary
‘There appears to be a real risk,’ said Psychologist Prime, tapping a stylus against their tablet in an idle way that frayed at the edge of Adrian’s sore nerves, ‘That should Alien Human-from-Earth-of-Sol Asylum-seeker Savior-of-Erid Grace perish, then your mate Savior Rocky may experience a radical and potentially fatal decline in physiological and psychological health.’
‘...I see,’ said Adrian. With exceptional calmness.
---
Let it not be said that Adrian was not devoted as well. They had stood firm, a loyal widower longer than others could fathom. Once you encountered a love like Rocky’s, there could be no replacement. Nothing could even compare.
‘Do you understand that?’ Adrian wanted to ask. So desperately, they wanted the alien’s reply. ‘Are you the only other creature in the universe who understands what it is like to be loved by someone so completely?’
---
Adrian meets Grace several times, before Grace is healthy enough to meet them in return. Despite light-years of distance between their species, Adrian might have finally met the first other being who appreciates Rocky like they do; or so they hope.

Summary
“Hey, bud,” I say softly. “I’m here, okay? I just want to help you.”
Rocky’s vents rattle like a sigh. “I know.”
“So what is it that you’re so upset to leave behind?”
There’s another long, silent moment, stretching until I start to worry that I’ve finally done it: found the first-ever cultural or personal barrier between us that we can’t cross together. I’m long past the point of being able to pretend that Rocky doesn’t mean the world to me – more than the world, actually, literally. I don’t need to have all my memories back to know that the moment we were reunited after I turned back for him was the happiest I’ve ever been. So I just can’t stand the thought that he’s hurting in some part of himself I can’t reach.
Then Rocky says, “Am upset to leave bodies of crew,” and my heart stops.
–––
Or: Grace and Rocky stumble together through an interplanetary anthropological exploration of funerals, grief, and meaning, trying to find a way to say goodbye to Rocky's crew.

Summary
"I'm trying to be culturally sensitive, so don't take this the wrong way," Grace says. "Is it just me or...is Erid fascist?"
Finally, words have been put to my persistent fear and I can no longer deny what I have been thinking for the last several days. "Yeah. Erid's fascist."
Rocky and Grace return to Erid to find the planet struggling under the climatic impacts of astrophage. Rocky goes down to Erid alone with the singular goal of creating food for Grace, who is dying of malnutrition. However, Rocky finds that Erid isn't the same as he left it; the new government is reconfiguring life around an ethos that is focused on strengthening Erid, limiting knowledge-creation, and being hostile to outsiders--like Grace. Now Rocky must find a way to not only save Grace from starvation on his own, but do so before the fascist hive mind can realize what's going on, as its eye slowly trains on eradicating the alien lifeform.

Very very interesting concept. Cool to explore what things might look like if Erid responded to the dire situation in a less than ideal way. They had more time than Earth, but the doomsday clock is still ticking

Summary
"Cell," he says. "My crew have problem with cells. Many many cells die. Not infection. Not injury. No reason. But not me. Never me. Why, question? I not know."
*** *** ***
From a planet orbiting the fading Eridani 40, a crew of twenty-three Eridians board a ship, and start the long journey towards the blazing star Tau Ceti, hoping to find the solution to their dying star, thereby saving their world from extinction. They are the best and brightest on their planet, and while they are nervous, hope and camaraderie are high.
And then, one by one, and then all at once, they begin to sicken.
Except for one.

WAOW this is such an awesome read. The way Rocky's detachment after years and years of horrific isolation is written is just so interesting. The depersonalization the hallucination the ever encompassing sadness and grief and inability to express yourself in a way that should be second nature….

Summary
The first time he feels the terror, he doesn't understand why. As he barely hangs onto consciousness, the soft silicon presses against his face, enveloping his nose and mouth. The spark of terror catches fire in his chest and quickly spreads across his body. It ignites a screaming inferno within his skull. He forces his eyes open. Everything is red. There's shapes above him. Pure oxygen fills his airways, stale and clinical and familiar and wrong.
Grace's memories of his unwilling medical sedation and forced sacrifice return, vivid and violent. Later, on the journey back to save Rocky, he has night terrors. The thin lines between consciousness, unconsciousness, memory, and nightmare blur.Bookmarked by Hoingus_Doingus

Summary
Adrian knows that everything is solvable if you break it down into the right sequence of steps.
The abrupt return of their long-dead partner in an alien spaceship has brought with it a series of absurd, worrying and even dangerous problems, but they're confident they can see the solution even if nobody else can.
They just need to make the alien fall in love with Rocky.
