    Summary

    He catches a glimpse of himself in the small mirror across the room.

    It’s as if he’s been frozen in time. Nothing about him has changed since he last touched the surface of his home planet.

    But of course, that’s not true. Everything has changed.

    He doesn’t understand. He doesn’t know what this means. He’s a man of science. There are rules, immutable laws of the universe, no matter where in the universe one is. Entropy, decay, deterioration. Everything in the universe experiences it.

    Everything except him, it seems.

     

    Or: While on Erid, Ryland Grace makes a startling realization: he seems to have stopped aging.

    Summary

    A series of short fics exploring Grace and Rocky's friendship, among other things. (Each chapter is its own story; I just wanted to have them all in one place.)

    Chapter 1: Rocky thinks humans are equally disgusting and cute. Somehow, through it all, Grace reminds him of home.
    Chapter 2: Rocky can pick Grace up easily, and Rocky thinks it is very funny. Rocky and Grace tease each other.
    Chapter 3: Eridians bring Grace their babies for him to see, and Grace learns about Eridian culture/religion. Grace is also bad at taking compliments.
    Chapter 4: Rocky makes Grace celebration jewelry. Later, Grace gets a similar gift from Adrian.
    Chapter 5: Grace and Rocky tease each other, and Rocky is introduced to the idea of throwing things at your friends. He decides that humans are odd, but maybe aren't all that bad.
    Chapter 6: Grace tries to convince Rocky to swim, but Eridians don’t typically like deep water because they are heavy and will sink/drown. Grace learns about some Eridian mythology.
    Chapter 7: Grace talks about the lack of support teachers have on Earth. Rocky is confused by this.

    Summary

    "Humans put Eridians in game, question?"

    "You mean, like a spider?" I ask. "Are you seeing a spider?"

    "Not spider," Rocky says. "Four legs. Tall carapace."

    "What color is it?"

    "Middle-rough."

    Middle-rough. That's Eridian for green.

    "Strange sound," Rocky comments.

    The creeper explodes.

    Grace and Rocky play Minecraft. That's it that's the fic

    Summary

    Ryland Grace knows his time is coming.

    Worst of all, Ryland thinks Rocky knows it, too.

    But... there might be another way for him to keep living.

    ("So," Ryland says, hands clasped on the table. “An artificial body, huh?”

    “Yes.” Rocky sounds concerned. “We went over this, Grace.”)
