    Summary

    Sleeping is so much easier with Rocky around. Well… maybe not necessarily easier, but… better?

    Before I met Rocky, I mostly just felt too awful all the time to get much rest. And after we parted ways, the nightmares that had been taunting me on and off started coming with a vengeance. The nightmares aren't gone now, of course. But it's better.

    (or: "nights" on the hail mary)

    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.

    [This has a limit, so new chapters will have their description at the beginning of the chapter instead]

    Summary

    “Um, hello.” Rocky lifts a hand slowly. The rock spider chitters and attempts to lift one back. But it’s tangled in wire, and the force that the alien uses to tug it free sends his body reeling backwards and thumping against the side of the tunnel. Rocky tries to keep a straight face.

    “I’ll call you Grace,” he says. “Clearly you have plenty of it.”

    ...

    Rocky wakes up in the Tau Ceti system, with his commander and science specialist dead. How's he supposed to save Earth?

    Befriend the alien scientist he runs into, of course.

    Petulantly, Rocky says, “Grace sound stupid. Like child.”

    “I’m just talking how you talk, buddy.”

    “Yes. This is because I talk like child, to speak to stupid human.”

    “Well, you don’t have to do that,” I say without thinking.

    “♪♫♩as this♪ when, underst♪♪♫d ♪me, question?” Rocky says.

    Summary

    He sees them round the corner, Rocky's brown and green carapace leading ahead of a larger Eridian. They were a gradient of blues and greens, the colors reminded him of turquoise, or maybe jade, and had spots of warm black dotted around their form. They had a splotch of brown on one their arms, mirroring the one he has seen on Rocky.

    "Grace!" Rocky bounds over, the other Eridian swiftly coming with him. "Grace meet Mate Adrian. Adrian meet Friend Grace."

    It really is them Grace thinks, giddy with joy.

    Summary

    Jaskier the Bard has a rotten turn of luck and shipwrecks on the shores of Westeros. A bald squire and a extremely large knight are passing by and offer him company on his journey to re-board a ship and sail back to the world he came from immediately. It's only a few miles walk, but for a very short encounter, it leaves all three parties changed for the better. For Jaskier, the inspiration to compose comes only when there is a worthy muse.

    Summary

    In early spring of 209 AC, on the cusp of his heat, Lyonel Baratheon takes the hedge knight Ser Duncan the Tall to his bed. It ought mean nothing. But when Baelor Breakspear survives the Trial of Seven, the hours Lyonel spent with the hedge knight and the babe that comes of them set in motion a cascade of changes that warp the fate of the realm.

    Plague, drought, politics -- Duncan has little opinion on any of them. He only knows that somewhere, at the point where the sky meets the sea, Lyonel is waiting for a true knight to return to him. But to become a man worthy of Lyonel Baratheon requires growth, and the Red Keep is quick to grind its heel upon the unwary.

    Summary

    A tourney stand looms up ahead out of the mist, a knight on a black stallion rides ahead of her and suddenly she knows, with a deep, clear certainty what her purpose is, here. She has read of this field, this day. She knows the ill luck that followed it, the hope of a fractured realm extinguished with a mace. She urges Valour on, draws abreast with the knight and he turns to her. A black shield, a red dragon. He raises his visor. “You ride for the Hedge Knight?” His voice echoes strangely in the helmet. He is more handsome than she expected. She nods. “I would know your name, ser.”

    “I am a true knight, your Grace.” she says, and passes the Prince, knowing she must answer to him at some point, or else disappear, as fast as she is able.

    Ser Brienne of Tarth, Commander of the Kingsguard, is sent by her King on a ride one misty morning in full tourney armour. Sent ninety years back, to the point at which some say it all went wrong, she has a rare and precious chance to make things right. Even if it costs her her foolish heart.

    Summary

    Aerion "Brightflame" Targaryen, the sole omega child of Prince Maekar, is notorious for being difficult and unyielding, scorning every highborn alpha suitor who's crossed his path. With no other options, his uncle Prince Baelor presents an ultimatum: either he marries Ser Duncan the Tall, a former hedge knight turned sworn sword of Lord Lyonel Baratheon, or Aerion may well find himself shoved into a convent, powerless and forgotten, for the rest of his days. But Aerion is a dragon, and dragons do not suffer such indignities, and so he plots to run away...

    ... But perhaps Ser Duncan is not the lowborn brute Aerion imagines him to be.

    Summary

    The Lord Stark looked down upon him clad in a heavy fur cape ladened with silver chains. His eyes resembled the blues of a crystalline lake– cold as the North. Even more so gazing at the flame that was Aerion. Burning hotter and hotter still as he stood firm against the eyes that seemed to swallow him whole.

    They had met once.

    Only once.

    When their youth still showed on their cheeks, and the years had treated them kinder than any war ever could. When the summer sun threatened to melt the young northerner, and when pale locks seemingly glowed iridescent when waves of golden light shone through leaves.

    When Aerion Targaryen, the Brightflame, was promised to Duncan Stark of Winterfell.

    Summary

    “To the Giant of Flea Bottom,

    Do not think this is over. I have paid three men in the Reach to follow you. If you sleep, they will be watching. If you eat, they will be counting the bites. If you find yourself some common omega wench that you’ve fallen in love with, I want their fingers brought to me in a box of salt. You are a stain on the laws of gods and men, and I will watch you rot from across the world.

    — A.T.”

    Dunk is only trying to be of honorable service, but his travels are constantly interrupted by “hate” letters from a certain exiled prince across the Narrow Sea.
