    Summary

    Ryland Grace unfortunately became important at work. His boss, Director Eva Stratt, moved him back to the states right after a three-month sabbatical to help Ava Ironchild with a strange issue. Her sanctuary has been struggling with a recent arrival, and someone needs to step in. Grace, for a reason he doesn't understand whatsoever, was the first person Eva thought of to deal with this... at least he gets to see his old friends?

    Summary

    There was one universal constant as far as drifting went: twin’s had the best compatibility.

    Ryland? Ryland was not a pilot. He understood the situation, the threat, the stakes, everything that was on the line. But he was not a Jaeger pilot.

    He looked at Colt, he knew Colt wouldn’t ask him directly. And wasn’t that really its own sort of asking?

    Or

    Colt just lost his co-pilot. That didn’t mean the danger stopped.

    Summary

    After four years of space travel, Grace and Rocky are finally approaching Erid. Grace has been working hard to learn Eridian, but two days out, disaster strikes - his keyboard is broken and Rocky is hurt.

    Luckily, Grace can speak some very basic Eridian with his single set of vocal cords. Unfortunately, he sounds like a newly hatched baby Eridian when he does.

    Grace forgets that most humans don't speak in a mish-mash of English and Eridian and Simon has a slightly different misunderstanding than the main one I've seen.

    Summary

    I was asleep when it happened. I'd woken up without my meories on a suicide mission to save the sun and met and tentitivly befriended an alien(!!) this past month. My life was already going crazy.

    So why wouldn't a blood covered person appear out of nowhere on my ship. And oh boy, its a kid the age of my students. What could possibly go wrong?

    Summary

    I lived with this hunger long before the Hail Mary. This is nothing new. I’m fine.

    Right up until Rocky asks another question.

    “When last time you touch other human person skin, question?”

    Oh. Oh no. “When I… a few days after I first woke up here.”

    Rocky starts to relax for a split second, but then tightens when something occurs to him.

    “Grace crewmates dead when you wake up. You said this, statement. You not even know your own name, remember nothing, see dead bodies, confirm?”

    I nod, because if I open my mouth I will gag.

    “When last time Grace touch ALIVE human person, question.”

    I swallow thickly. I don’t answer aloud because I know Rocky can hear the hitch in my breath. My stomach churns with fresh bile. He senses my vital signs tick over into stress patterns and goes very, very still again.

    “Grace. When last time, question.”

    I clench my jaw so hard my temples ache, and beg him with my eyes to just stop.

    “Grace. Please say not when… when Evil Stratt humans put you to sleep.”

    I can taste grass.

    AKA: Grace starves for more than just food on the journey to Erid.

    Summary

    In their complete shock, Adrian thinks they can be excused for missing another presence on that ship before they were almost pounding on the ship's door. But when they did notice, they froze in their tracks.

    Bipedal. Almost completely organic. Two front-facing, predator-like light detectors. Descriptions flashed through their head, descriptions that are only known through dead bodies because no Galactic Collective agent would dare go near them alive.

    It's a human.

    Rocky is trapped in a ship with a human.

     

    or,

     

    The Humans Are Space Orcs fic that nobody except me was asking for, so I wrote it myself.

    Summary

    Eva Stratt knew that the Hail Mary's mission would be tough. Human psyches are so very fragile, and emotions can make people act erratically.
    That was why she chose a fourth member of the Hail Mary crew. Someone who could make difficult decisions.

    Enter: Simon.

    Summary

    “If you could be any astronomical object, what kind of astronomical object would you be and why?”
    Rocky cannot be astronomical object. Rocky can only be Eridian.
    “Humor me, pal, I’m dying of boredom over here.”

    Summary

    “What’s wrong with me?” Grace manages, the words squeezed out through the tightness in his throat. “We just got attacked by the people who want both of us locked in a bunker, I nearly crushed everyone by accident, YOU made people BLEED FROM THEIR EYES, it’s finally hit me that I’m never going to get my old life back and now you're offering me a potato chip?”

    Simon just looks at him, holding out the bag of chips in question. “Well do you fucking want one or not?”

    Summary

    “Don’t let the blood get into your ship, okay?”

    That made Grace pause. “What?!”

    “If I die, you have to get my body out of here,” the man pleaded, but Grace had to go. His oxygen was out. The guy would be dead in six minutes. “You have to get me out, even if I’m dead. Hey!”

    “Just hold on!” Grace propelled himself through zero gravity, away from the radio.

    “Don’t leave me here-!” The roar echoed through the ship halls.

    ---

    When Ryland Grace complained about being a little bored, maybe a little lonely, he thought a nostalgic trip around Erid would fix him right up. The last thing he expected was to find deadly space bacteria in deep space and a human. Alive.
