    Summary

    If you were to ask Grace when this all-consuming longing for his engineering roommate started, he’d say around the beginning of their third year of college, the time that he started dragging said roommate, whom he didn’t exactly talk to beforehand, into his awful morning routine. And said roommate, for whatever reason, decided that he wanted to hang out with Grace every other second of the day, anyway.

    But if you were to ask the same question to the aforementioned roommate, Rocky, himself…

    Well, er …the truth is that he fell in love with the oblivious nerd the day he moved into their apartment.

    or, “trust me when I say that I’m usually a blunt and direct person, so I also don’t know why I can’t tell my roommate that I’ve been falling for him for the past year that we’ve been living together.”

    or, loosely, the five times that rocky fell for grace, and the one time that he finally told him.

    Summary

    Grace comes to terms with the fact that he's probably an interstellar homewrecker. Rocky finishes building his "tools."

    "So, I'm back in the lab, trying once again to focus on literally anything but the mysterious clinking emanating from Rocky's side of the ship. I still don't know for certain what he's been making, and he's been cagy whenever I try to needle him for information, but I can still make informed guesses. I try to let the scientist in me take the wheel whenever I think about it, though, or I'm liable to have a heart attack. My running theory is some kind of... phallus. To be put into me. There were a couple days earlier this week during our 'activities' where Rocky would fixate on my lower stomach and pelvis area, tapping away down there. And if his goal is to listen more closely to me without having to cut me open and get in my guts, that's about the best option he has."

    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.

    Summary

    Dr. Ryland Grace’s life was normal and fine. Good, even. He made his living as a science communicator for a video production studio— The “Bill Nye for Gen Alpha”, they called him. As the show grew in popularity online, he felt satisfied, but restless for something else. Then he met an engineer.

    James “Rocky” Rockfield had lived in San Francisco his whole adult life, working as an engineer for a company that built mass spectrometers. He was a cog in a machine that created machines, and he liked it that way. Rocky played piano at jazz bars on the weekends, was in what the kids would call a “queerplatonic relationship” with his partner Adrian, and at least had enough disposable income to buy a fancy coffee every day. What more could he want? Then he met a scientist.

    Summary

    “Grace.”

    “What?” He asks, the corner of his mouth turning up into a grin. His eyes dart between his mates, left to right, as if he has the audacity to be surprised about it.

    “Use you?” Adrian sings incredulously, tapping the floor twice in unmistakable question. “Elaborate. What do you mean, use you?”

    -

    AKA Grace offers to carry his mates' eggs under the impression that it will be a walk in the park. How hard could it be?

    As it turns out, pretty freaking hard.

    Summary

    Ryland Grace has accepted the fact that he is a 35 year old unmated omega, and he is content staying unmated for the rest of his life.

    Except, suddenly the younger alpha next door and the older alpha guardian of one of his students begin worming their way into his life. He’s not used to the affection, and now two stubborn, and ridiculously jealous, alphas are fighting for his attention and determined to court him right.

    OR

    Two alphas attempt courting Ryland Grace and he remains blissfully unaware. Jody, come kill this guy for me. Kill them all while you’re at it, actually.

    Summary

    To escape the immense pressure from Eva Stratt and the rest of the Petrovaline Taskforce, overworked microbiologist Ryland Grace seeks late-night solace in the intimate, whispery streams of a confident, faceless ASMR creator.

    As his quiet online obsession deepens upon discovering the streamer's OnlyFans, he remains blissfully unaware that the erotic voice on his screen belongs to someone very close, sitting just down the hall at work.

    Summary

    Barely a year into their trek to Erid and it seemed like something new broke every other day. Today, it was a screen in the mental health node – not life-threatening, sure, but with the bulk of the trip still yawning before them it was a real issue. Ryland grunted as he lifted the reflective surface off the section in need of repair, lowering it slowly to the ground below. Rocky chittered nervously from the doorway, rocking back and forth in his ball. There weren’t exactly any ladders on the Hail Mary, so he was making due with a lab stool he’d unscrewed from the floor. Rocky hated this, naturally.

    --

    Ryland hurts himself, Rocky gets bossy about what he is and isn't allowed to do while injured, and they're both horny about it.

    Summary

    Ryland Grace is destined to die, he has always been.

    It just so happens that the course of his life has been forever linked to Rocky, the sole survivor of the Blip-A, who refuses to let him die without trying to come up with a solution.

    Life and death are not separate. Ryland Grace will have to accept to live with the consequences of surviving Project Hail Mary while experiencing a different but desired life, as the fear of isolation and death chases him. Rocky will have to join him too.

    To accept a new life is to grieve too, for what has been and could have been.

    Summary

    “Would it help––should I bring my dinner in too?” Grace jokes, smiling in preparation for the absolute symphony of disgusted whistles he knows Rocky will produce at the thought of them doing something as depraved as sharing a meal. “I’ve been saving this week’s half packet of ramen for just such an occasion––”

    [YES YES YES!] Rocky’s translator app suddenly blares from the laptop on the floor between them. [YES, ACCEPT ACCEPT ACCEPT! GRACE RAMEN ♪♫♪♫ WITH ROCKY, AFFIRMATIVE! GRACE ROCKY EAT ♪♫♪♫ MEAL TOGETHER AFFIRMATIVE YES YES AFFIRMATIVE NOW.]

    or, a fic to answer the questions: What if you fell in love for the first time in your 40s, and it just so happened to be with your alien best bud who has five legs, no face, and is already married? And then what if somehow you accidentally proposed to said alien best bud without knowing, because while you may be Earth's best and brightest, you also notoriously suck at close interpersonal relationships (and also you have permanent memory damage)? What then?

    Summary

    Rocky knows he has a good voice. He's heard it from people before, especially with his old flings back in high school. It was just an offhand suggestion by a friend, something harmless like "You should take advantage of your voice and start selling commissions." And Rocky probably would have shrugged it off and ignored him like how every normal human person would but no, Rocky doesn't do that.

    He doesn't do things normally around here.

    Or, Rocky operates what he calls his side quest where he takes requests for people that want to hear his voice in different scenarios. Everything is going perfectly, until his favorite customer suddenly tells him they can't request anymore. Everything spirals from there, folks!

    Summary

    Inspired by a tumblr post by @goldenaltar about a no astrophage/space diplomacy AU I literally could NOT stop thinking about since I first read it.

    The first collaboration between eridians and humans involves planning for a proper first contact, out in space so their respective interstellar trip times are cut (approximately) in half. Grace was conscripted for ‘Project Neighborhood’ as one of many biologists on the team. He sneaks out to the tunnel connecting their ships after hours to try and catch a glimpse of a Real Life Alien - and there's an eridian on the other side who has the exact same idea.

    When their sneaking around catches up to them, they're forced to consider the implications of all this sneaking around, and maybe lean into them a little to keep from being thrown out the nearest airlock - or starting an intergalactic war.

    Summary

    Ryland Grace was the type of student who didn't have to put in too much effort to succeed. It worked for him, gave room for his own personal time while being able to still preform to other's academic standards. His Engineering professor, however, seems rather displeased with Ryland's work ethic. How many office hour sessions will it take to correct his student's lack of dedication to his work? Or rather, how many licks will it take to get to the tootsie roll core of Ryland Grace?

    25-year-old Grace was just trying to focus on his education when he wound up adopting two twins. Adjusting to becoming a young single parent was hard, but life was good for a while. That's until his sons suddenly early bloomed into alphas and began acting differently towards him. How is a single omega supposed to live peacefully with two alphas constantly latched onto him?

    Summary

    “Always so leaky,” I tease him, good-naturedly, and he lets out a wet chuckle. His smile remains after it; I could spend my entire life cataloguing the minuscule differences in all of his smiles, and what those differences mean, and it wouldn’t be long enough to discover all of them.

    I used to find the expression unsettling, the way he bared his teeth at me— The knowledge that I used to do such a thing sits in the back of my mind like an ancient relic. I cannot understand why I ever felt that way. I just know I did.

    “It looks great, buddy,” he says, his voice a soft, wavering thing. Much like in my imagination once more, he bends down on his knees. “Come here.”

    I don’t need a second invitation.

    I throw myself in his arms with as much enthusiasm as I dare to use without risking hurting him. I’m fully aware of how much heavier and stronger than him I am. How easy it would be, for me, to shred through his soft, defenseless body as if he is no more than a feeble little prey.

    I do not. I never will. I’m always careful, and always will be. I already hurt him once, I can see the sign of it on his arm, like a brand, and one time is already more than I am willing to accept.

    Summary

    In the weeks following the arrival at Erid, Grace has a lot of things to get used to. The Eridians are peculiar, the temperature onboard is parallel to his worst nightmare, and Rocky is away most of the time. He understands that Rocky’s time is best spent in other places than in his arms– perhaps best spent catching up with Adrian. Even so he can’t help but yearn for his mate. Even more so he can’t help but yearn for Adrian’s approval, too, but the plan was to ease Adrian (and all of Erid) into the news of their mating gently.

    Yet things just can’t seem to ever go as planned.

    One day, Rocky doesn’t show up, and as soon as Grace hears why… Oh. He won’t have it. On that day, Grace puts on his EVA suit and decides it’s time for a rescue mission. It doesn't matter that he might burn for it.

    Or: Rocky gets sent to jail and Grace does all the stupid shit he shouldn’t to get Adrian and Rocky reunited… again.

    A sequel to “Finger, but hole”.

    Summary

    Ryland wilts in the makeshift nest and blows out a long sigh. “Look, it's not that I'm ideologically against it or anything, Rock. It's just that—nothing has ever.” He abruptly pauses, wrinkling his nose to reconfigure his thought pattern while he stares at the ceiling of the ship and makes a vague hand gesture through the air. His blood capillaries are still dilated but not as obscenely as before. “Nobody has ever…y’know? Gosh, why is it so hard to talk about this right now?”

    Simultaneous surprise and arousal hit Rocky like twin bolts of frenetic lightning. He would almost break out into joyous song if that didn’t feel slightly inappropriate in light of Grace’s burning bashfulness. “Oh, Rocky understand now,” he gently cuts in. “Grace is a virgin.”

    Summary

    So, when Rocky said she had to get ready, Grace’s immediate thoughts had been…a bit sexier? Maybe some stretching, possibly in a variety of locales. A makeover sequence could have been fun.

    She didn't expect it to require so much work.

    ---

    Apparently humans are a lot easier to get off than Eridians. It takes some medium science but then it is Rocky's turn.
