    Summary

    Rocky's attempts to get in Grace's pants is met by many challenges, including: glow-in-the-dark dinosaurs, weird human biology and an accidental button press.

    All it took was just a quiet, peaceful morning.

    Summary

    “Grace not focused on work again,” Rocky points out from across our workspace. I just barely stop myself from throwing the microscope my hands are white-knuckle gripping. “Why Grace always distracted now, question?”

    Because you won’t touch me, I want to answer, even though I know I can’t. Because I’m so lonely even though I’m not even really alone. And I feel so absurdly bad about it. Please touch me, please, please, please—

    or: ryland grace is starving for touch. it's making him a little bit irritable. rocky is no better off.

    Summary

    "Grace is very soft," Dr. Derek says, their tone has dipped drastically from the light tone they were using earlier during the check-up. They emphasize their sentence with a squeeze to Grace's arm.

    Grace stutters, face starting to heat. "Oh! Uh-thank you, I think?"

    "Grace is taking another mate, question?"

    Summary

    Grace won’t stop staring at Rocky. He says he's "zoning out;" Rocky doesn’t care. It’s unsettling, it’s weird! It’s…kinda hot?

    Or

    Grace tries to study Eridian walking, an element of attractiveness for Eridians, and he and Rocky try to pretend it’s not suggestive. They both fail immediately.

    Summary

    I love you, I want to say, impossibly. And I do, I do so much that it aches and it burrows and it festers right under my skin and between my diaphragm and my lungs and that spot Rocky would fit perfectly, and hey, how's that box looking, Ryland?

    The same as it's always looked, which is to say it's looking like a damn flimsy mirage. I would take Rocky under my ribs, if I could. I would press him against my spinal cord to feel the touch and signal that I've never craved in this way from another person in my entire life.

    ALTERNATE TITLE: Awake craniotomy, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and other inadvisable medical treatments that one Dr. Ryland Grace definitely doesn't have a craving for his best friend to perform on him.

    Summary

    Both of his hands formed an 'L', then he touched opposite forefingers to opposite thumbs. Next, he raised three fingers, then pointed his thumb behind himself.

    'Lab three after this?'

    On the other side of the room, separated by a xenonite barrier and two parties of very professional first contact volunteers, one of the smaller Eridians was subtly shifting back and forth. Grace absolutely wasn't listening to what the rest of their two crews were saying, but the last time he tuned in, they'd been discussing trade negotiations and resource allowances. Important stuff he was sure, but his mind was singularly focused on the 'experiments' he and the Eridians' third engineer were conducting.
    ____
    Grace and Rocky are both nonessential members of their respective species' first contact teams. While under strict orders to not engage with their new interstellar neighbors until negotiations are further underway, the two of them strike up a friendship, and might end up getting along a little too well.

    Summary

    Rocky taps his claws together anxiously for a few seconds, then seems to come to a decision.

    “Fine. We can try. I make safety equipment.” 

    “Okay, good,” Grace flops back on the bed again, his nervous system overcome with sudden relief. Rocky's not going to cut himself open, and he's not going to die. They’re going to have a nice, casual wrestling session, and Rocky is going to pin him down and thrust into a xenonite container until he comes – or whatever his equivalent is – and then everything is going to be fine.

    Summary

    "Am I seriously considering sleeping with my best friend simply because we're both curious and because the mood is right and—gosh, he looks really nice right now—because we simply can? Yes. Yes, I guess I am."

    or

    Grace and Rocky have a one night stand.

    Summary

    "Eridians and humans both love. Big emotion. Complicated, confusing, different. Not always easy to find right word. But ultimately still love. Maybe okay if confusing. Maybe okay if not understand completely. Maybe okay if not know right category. No other relationship like Grace and Rocky. So maybe no other love like Grace and Rocky." He pauses for a long moment, thinking, debating with himself. Finally he just scoots closer, and leans on his friend a little more. "I think is enough to just say, Rocky loves Grace."

    OR: Ryland Grace and Rocky are not platonic, not romantic, not even a secret third thing. They are a unique undefinable infinitieth thing. They gradually figure this out through hugs and other gross leaky human activities.

    Summary

    “I don’t want to bother you, but could you please stick the vibrator in yourself a little more quietly?”

    Now Grace’s jaw actually dropped.

    “I… I’m sorry?” he choked out.

    “Oh, don’t get me wrong”, the neighbor said, just as calmly. As if they were discussing the weather or something. “You sound quite lovely, believe a person who perceives this world by ear, but..."

    Summary

    The first thing that clued Grace in to the fact that something was very, very wrong was Rocky’s empty xenonite suit dropped in the kitchen. The second thing was the wheezing, choking, vaguely human sounds that were coming from his bedroom. As the only human on Erid, that was a major cause for concern.

    OR:

    Rocky wakes up different, and Grace gives him a helping hand in his brand new body.

    Summary

    “Grace?"

    Grace shakes his head, bringing himself back into the moment. “Sorry, Rock. What’d you say?”

    “What Grace want for birthday,” Rocky repeats himself, tone more insistent this time.

    “Y’know,” Grace says, deciding an unrealistic idea is better than no idea at all, “I think I want a hug from my best friend. If you can figure that one out, you’ll never have to get me another birthday gift again.”

    “Rocky will continue to get Grace gifts anyway.” Grace flushes at the declaration, which he does not want to address. Rocky is quiet for a moment after, tapping his claws on the ground in thought. And before Grace can tell him he was just joking, don’t worry about it, just make him some xenonite barbells so he doesn’t lose these muscles so fast, Rocky is perking up and skittering to leave the room again. “Rocky know how to get Grace gift! Will take some time. Late gift. Will make up for it next Earth year.”

    (Or, the one where Rocky's birthday present to Grace ends up getting a little out of hand.)

    Summary

    The guy only sniffs and hitches his hands up on his hips, showing off a trimmer waist than his oversized rugby shirt suggested. “What’s your name again?”

    “Rocky,” he offers, simple and easy. “You?”

    “Grace,” the guy says. “Or Mr. Grace, if you’re a seventh grader within twenty yards of me.”

    “Just Grace?”

    “Just Rocky?”

    Rocky arches a brow and steps inside the copy room, which seems to charge up the air despite the preexisting smell of hot paper and toner. “Look, Mr. Grace,” he says, trying to keep his posture open and casual even though Grace is nearly a hand taller than him. “I didn’t mean to roll up like gangbusters on your copy room racketeering gig, I was just trying to learn the lay of the land and get my sheets prepped for the kids. But I’ll mosey on down to the math department and put my formal order in if need be.”

    Grace rolls his jaw like he’s got a marble in his mouth, and now that they’re closer Rocky can make out the bright blue of his eyes and the gold in his lashes. Damn, he’s a good looking son of a bitch, if only he didn’t have a stick jammed so far up his pert little—

    Summary

    I've been trying to rationalize it. Tell myself it's just scientific curiosity. I mean, Rocky and I are the only human-Eridian research team in existence. It makes sense that I'd want to understand his biology more completely. Document everything for posterity. Fill in the gaps in our xenobiological knowledge.
    That's a perfectly reasonable scientific motivation.
