    Summary

    Dr Ryland Grace is a hunk of a man. After pushy colleagues mistake Grace’s attempt at social escape for a love confession, a witch hunt begins. The parents and teachers of Grover Cleveland desperately want to find out who his mysterious “partner” is, Grace just wants to enjoy dinner with his one (1) shit-stirrer of a friend.

    Decades after this debacle, the log’s return to Earth, an inside joke with Rocky is misinterpreted and there is only one thing the world wants to know: who fisted Dr Captain Ryland Grace?

     

    Or: everybody wants a piece of Grace, unfortunately for them, Grace finds sex about as arousing as RNA transcription.

    Summary

    “I just think it’s kind of a messed-up thing to do to a baby,” I said.

     

    AKA: the one with time travel. When the opportunity arises, Rocky and Ryland can't turn down the chance to save Rocky's crew.

    It all kind of spirals from there.

    Summary

    "I find it really odd that the lead engineer and one of our main saviors seems to be incredibly overprotective of the little weird space blob he sent down from his mission. I mean, who in the world would even dedicate all their time to make his own “safe haven’? I wouldn’t find it really productive, speaking from my own thoughts.

    - Dr. Cream"

    "With all due respect, Dr. Cream, I think the weird space blob you’re referring to is called “Dr. Ryland Grace” and he is also considered one of our saviors of Erid! Put some more respect to his name.

    Regards,
    Luck."

    "Does anybody know if Dr. Ryland Grace has a mate or is considering to take another one? I wish to make him my mate.

    Love, Patch."

    Or, the eridians learn to make computers: their first thought is to discuss dr. ryland grace

    Summary

    What the title says. About 11 years ago (from my perspective; relativity is weird) I was launched into space onboard the Hail Mary to figure out a solution to the Astrophage problem. Now I live on an alien planet I call Erid, in the 40-Eridani system. Yes, I’m actually Ryland Grace. Ask me anything.

    Also, can someone please tell me if Eva Stratt is alive? And ideally send me a video of you punching her in the face? Guess that’s a long shot, but it can’t hurt to ask.

    ---

    Grace and Rocky figure out how to connect to Earth's internet from Erid. They may not have thought this through.

    Summary

    “It’ll all take some getting used to, probably, I think,” Colt comments, glancing towards Rocky. He can tell by the way he tilts that Rocky’s looking back at him. This is actually getting normal, God help him. “We can practice more at home.”

    “Home,” Ryland echoes, taking his hand off the chair’s controls. “Geez. Home has— You know, home’s been Rocky and the Hail Mary for years now. It’s weird to be on— you know. Dry land.”

    “The lonely sailor, lost at sea,” Colt sighs with a slight smile, teasingly dramatic.

    “Grace not lonely, Grace not lost!” Rocky protests. “Grace have Rocky, statement! Rocky watch Grace sleep, protect Grace, bring Grace home to Earth.”

    “You sure did, buddy, and I can’t thank you enough for it,” Colt replies.

    or: Ryland is finally well enough to leave the facility and go home— or, for now, to move himself and Rocky into Colt's home.

    Batman keeps a list of disgraced scientists who might consider supervillainy a viable career option. Ryland Grace has much better things to do than deal with an overly suspicious bat.

    Summary

    After a long day at work, Colt Seavers is not expecting a phone call from his twin brother, Ryland Grace, telling him they want to ship him off on some crazy mission to space.

    That's not going to happen. He reassures his brother they can't just send him on some suicide mission against his will.

    But the universe has plans of its own, and Colt may not be able to stop his brother from facing his destiny.

    Summary

    I very carefully set the gun near the xenonite barrier. “Need a word. Fast moving projectile launcher. This is an object that can make small objects go very fast.”

    Rocky gets close to the barrier and seems to be inspecting it with his sonar. “Unfamiliar with concept. How fast can objects move with launcher, question?”

    “An object is made for the launcher. Cannot be any object. We call objects ‘bullets.’ We call launcher ‘gun.’ It uses gunpowder to make a small explosion, which is powder made from sulfur, potassium nitrate, and charcoal- Carbon. In high oxygen environments this creates a small explosion that propels the bullet forward at 100 meters a second.”

    Rocky scurries back. I would too, but I have the business end facing away from me and the xenonite barrier. “Are objects in this launcher, question?”

    “Yes, I do not know how to take them out.” I point to the end of the gun that houses the bullets. “In Earth’s atmosphere, they would be safe to remove. But in a high oxygen environment like the Hail Mary, I’m afraid of causing a spark that would make the bullets fire anyway.”

    Summary

    “Will you tell me what happened?” Colt asks quietly, studying Ryland’s sleeping face. He wishes he would wake up and just look at him, but— but, until then, he’ll settle for talking to his— to Rocky.

    “Grace come back for Rocky after return plan for Earth,” Rocky says. His translated voice feels like it’s coming from right beside him. “Grace not let Rocky die. Grace give life for Rocky life. Grace…” He makes a soft, sad chime of a sound. “Grace save Rocky. Grace save Erid, Grace brave, brave, brave, statement. Rocky love Grace. Rocky save Grace.”

    “You did that?” Colt asks him, glancing sideways at Rocky. “You gave up everything, you— you gave up going home just to bring him back here?”

    “Grace do same for Rocky.”

    or: Colt's twin brother was taken from him and shot off into space without a chance to say goodbye. Over the years, piece by piece, he gets Ryland back.

    Summary

    “Why Grace think about Earth question?” Rocky blew steam from his vents and grumbled, “Earth throw Grace away like trash statement. Rocky care for Grace now.”

    Ryland Grace has never been great at relationships, or social cues, which leads him to accidentally give Rocky an Eridian courting gift. More issues arise once the two finally reach Erid and Grace meets Adrian. Some angst because its a requirement in this fandom, all science and culture for Eridians is made up please don't read too deeply into any science or space stuff I am doing my best.

    Summary

    The Eridian thrills a high sound that doesn’t get picked up by the translator which means that it has no clear meaning. Like when a human gasps or sucks in a deep breath. It actually sounds a little like that. When they notice that I’m staring straight at them they scramble back into their hiding spot and hold very still. 

    A child, I realize with a start.

    That’s a child! 

    “Hey,” I call and the kid squeaks again. I was about to get to my feet but abort the movement and crawl closer on my hands and knees until I'm inches away from the xenonite wall. I wait and it takes me much too long to realize that they don’t have to peek around the corner to see if I’m still there.

    “Hey there,” I try again, my voice low and calm. It’s my teacher voice, the one I use for shy and scared students. 

    Used. 

    The fact that I haven’t had to use it for years and it still comes to me automatically almost knocks the air out of my lungs but this is not about me, it’s about making sure the little pebble doesn’t die of fright from the scary alien. “Hi, I’m Grace. It’s alright, you don’t have to be scared.”

    They are going to die. Eventually, obviously, but imminently, it would seem. There are about a million ways they could, anyway.

    They almost do, sometimes. Grace almost does, really all the time, or wants to, other times. But he doesn't.

    Summary

    ”Being stubborn!” Rocky accuses. ”Making excuses, statement!” And yeah, I don’t have any defense for that one.

    “Will you watch me sleep? I want to take a nap,” I ask without preamble. I’m tired and don’t have the energy to argue right now. Or eat for that matter.

    ”Yes. Always watch, fact,” he agrees immediately. ”Still mad. But Rocky watch, statement.”

    I set aside the laptop, rubbing at my eyes with a tired sigh as I get comfortable right there in the little ‘nest’ as Rocky likes to call it. It makes me feel just a little better. I’m drifting off before I even realize.

    It's been nine months since Grace woke up in space. Stratt only planned for them to be alive for nine months. Which means that Grace has ran out of a very important item: his antidepressants.

    Summary

    “Sleep. I watch,” he warbles from his post at the door. The first thing he’s said to me in hours. We haven’t talked about anything yet, aside from his pushing to prove I wasn’t hiding more contraband. I scowl at him.

    “Don’t want to.” I feel like one of my kids with the level of petulance that seeps into my voice. I miss my kids. I miss having a place. I have a place here, I need to accept it’s just… Different. Still, I’m not gonna listen to Rocky right now.

    Rocky grumbles at me. “Scientists say Grace hasn’t slept in 32.6 hours.” Jeez, has it really been that long? I don’t think I’ve had an all-nighter that bad since college. “Cognitive impairment begins after only 24. Bad decisions, dangerous thoughts like you mention. Why you are sick.”

    “You left me.” I didn’t mean to say that. Too late.

    or Grace is having a hard time adjusting to life on Erid, and it only gets worse when Rocky disappears. They work it out.

    Summary

    ♪So humans do not need to care about viruses, question?♪

    “Well… we do need to care a little. Some viruses cause more severe infections than others. Influenza, for example, is pretty inconvenient for most people. It can cause nausea, fever, nose leaking, aches, coughing, and more. It can even be deadly for people with weak immune systems, like children or the very old. We definitely take it seriously when someone vulnerable gets infected. Influenza is one of the diseases we vaccinate for. Who remembers what vaccination is?”

    The entire class raised their claws. Grace facepalmed.

    “Right, duh. Forget I asked.”

    ♪Cannot forget.♪ Someone chimed, eliciting several giggling thrills.

    OR

    Ryland Grace has an annoyingly short lifespan by Eridian standards. Rocky fix. Good thing Grace is there to teach the Eridians everything they need to know about human biology.
