    Summary

    Dozens of little legs raced across the sand, bolting past Rocky and heading straight for Grace, happy shrieking trills filling the air.

    “Welcome to Field Trip Day!” Grace cried, flinging out his arms.

    Summary

    Grace squeezes out a wet chuckle, thick with emotion, before suddenly falling silent. Its mouth does that strange up-down up-down movement, like it’s trying to figure out if it’s perplexed or amused. “Wait a minute—“ The human flops on its side to face them.

    “Rock, that almost sounds like I’m your kids’ \.\\.”

    “New word.”

    “Uh… companion animal.”

    —————

    Or

    Grace and Rocky talk about evolution, family dynamics, and dogs.

    Summary

    “Grace lie,” Rocky says impatiently. “Stop wasting time. Tell what is wrong, now.”

    Well, I’m not doing that. Even if I wanted to, I don’t know how I'd even begin explaining to Rocky that the only thing wrong with me is the fact that I want him to pin me down with his voice, shake out half a dozen orgasms, and then knock me out for good measure.

    So we're going with plan B: time to fool the walking lie detector.

    Summary

    "Rocky did not understand human names and titles when we met. Eridian names longer, give information on Eridian's home, associations, skills." For the first time in ages, he positioned two of his arms together, forming the design that Grace thought of like a family crest, a single design bisected.

    "You should teach me to read those before we get to Erid, so I can be polite." As Grace considered the linework, already picking up on some vague ideas from the shapes in Rocky's carapace, something else occurred to him. "So… I picked 'Rocky' because your outer shell looks like stone."

    "And for inspirational story of athlete who defeats human system of poverty to become great champion. Eye of the tiger."

    "Retroactively, yeah." Grace bent at the hips, getting to Rocky's 'eye' level. "So what'd you name me?"

    Summary

    Ryland Grace couldn’t say he’s ever had a best friend. Fudge—he couldn’t even remember the last time he’d gone out on a proper hangout. Well, that was until he met Rocky, his new best friend. A rock spider. And now Earth’s scientists are asking him all sorts of weird questions like “How many distinct notes does Eridianise possess?”, “Is xenonite used to construct Eridian dwellings?”, and “How close exactly are you with the Eridian named Rocky?”. What has his life come to?

    a.k.a. Humans want to establish diplomatic relations between Earth and Erid and Grace is caught in the crossfire.
