Summary
One Grace-sleep is not so long.
It is not “night,” but Grace calls it night, and so Rocky does too. One human night. One third of one human day. One three-hundred-thousandth of Rocky’s life so far.
This is what Rocky tells himself. He folds up on his xenonite shelf above Grace’s sleeping area, and he listens, and he fiddles with his clock, and he tells himself that it is not so long.
~~~
Rocky has lived through the deaths of many of his friends. He does not want to lose Grace.

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.

Summary
“Are you going to tell me what I did wrong, or are you just going to give me the silent treatment for the next four years?”
“Human treatment to induce silence?” Rocky perks up. “Good plan. You teach. I administer.”

Summary
Going back to save Rocky is, funnily enough, one of the easiest decisions Ryland Grace has ever made. However, once Rocky is aboard and tells him how grateful he is for Grace's sacrifice, Grace is blindsided by a feeling he hadn't expected.
Guilt.

Summary
“Who complained about you eating, question?” Someone must’ve said something. He’s had so many visitors in the last couple of days. Who was it? Grace has never questioned this part of himself. Grace huffs at me.
“No one! I’m just trying to be polite! Eridians have special soundproof eating rooms, shouldn’t I?”
“You are not Eridian!”
He doesn’t need to meet our standards; he’s his own species! Some things he might need to change in his daily life to adapt to Erid life, but his food habits don’t need to be one of them. My words don’t comfort Grace like I thought they would. Grace shrinks into himself, and I wish I were on his side to hug him.
or the Entities provide Grace with a culture teacher to prepare for life on Erid and he gets his first taste of Eridian inhospitality.

Summary
I pour myself orange juice and fill the rest of my plate. Eggs, bacon, a couple of slices of tomato I smother with salt and pepper, and the biscuits and gravy take center stage. Normally, I save the best things for last, but my stomach pangs and I’m about ready to drool just from the smell of the gravy alone. I need to taste it first.
It’s incredible . I want—
“Your face is leaking again. Food hurt you, question?”
I blink, and Rocky unblurs as the tears drip out.
or Grace finds the Day 1-9 first meal tubes of the other crew members a year into the trip to Erid and accidentally unlocks some difficult memories.

"So how humans pick partner?"
"Well, sexually speaking, I guess a lot of humans go off of looks,” said Grace. “Physical appearance.”
“Physical appearance!” Rocky was scandalized. “No good. Bad variable. Tell you nothing. Have to run experiment. Have to try.”

Summary
‘The irony of finding it near impossible to warm himself up on a planet whose boiling temperatures would kill him the moment he stepped outside wasn’t lost on him. Heck, he had thrown out a joke about it to Rocky during one of his many visits to the ailing human soon after he was first moved into his biodome.
Of course, Rocky didn’t find it funny. Not that Grace could necessarily blame him.’
Or: Rocky visits Grace in his biodome as he continues to recover from his brush with severe malnutrition following their arrival to Erid.

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
“Hey! It’s a lot up here, okay? It’s a normal response to stress.” He rubs a hand over his face. “Okay, I cried a lot down there, too. But not in class! Not if I could help it. But having to say goodbye, gosh, I’ve never been good at that.” Grace laughs, but it sounds sad. His mouth is shut firmly, and he leans against my ball. He’s so soft, his body melds to the side of the xenonite with ease. “I can’t imagine what a mess I’ll be when—” he cuts himself off, but I know what was coming next.
I’m not sure how I’ll be when we say goodbye either. It didn’t seem like it’d matter so much at first, after all, if we part ways, it means we succeeded. I’d be going back to Erid, to Adrian, to home. But I’d be leaving behind Grace. The thought of that is unpleasant. It sinks deep in me; the emotion is painfully familiar. It’s been a long time since I’ve had anyone to mourn losing anyone again. I don’t want to think about it, I’m not ready.
or 5 times Rocky feels something for Grace. 1 time he does something about it.

Summary
“What made you come up with this?” Grace asks. His voice is thick.
“Grace need comfort,” Rocky says matter-of-factly. “Like a hug. This comfort Grace, question?”
Grace presses his hand more firmly against the top of Rocky’s carapace, and Rocky shifts a bit within the xenonite, rising so that they make nearly direct contact through the panel. It’s not like they haven’t done something like this before—Rocky is always pressing his claws up against Grace’s palm—but it’s different for Grace’s whole hand to be so close, to feel the heat of a living thing against his side and against his palm all at once.
“Yeah,” Grace breathes.
~~~
On the trip to Erid, Grace is starving.

How do you explain sexual arousal to a guy whose species doesn't experience it? Whatever the case, Ryland Grace is definitely not the right person for the job.
Unfortunately, a hands-on demonstration might be in order.
