The effect of affection by mostcheery

Summary
Eridians show affection mostly through singing, or by making gifts. Rocky has always found it an easy, uncomplicated way to express his feelings.
Human affection is neither easy nor uncomplicated, he quickly discovers. It’s full of strange customs, involves a lot of touching and is, sometimes, worryingly violent.

Bookmarker's Notes
“I’m not calling you a rock!” He laughs, “It’s another human thing. Shortening names to show affection, or closeness. We call it a nickname.”
Wow, Rocky thinks. Human affection is so improper.
Grace has changed his name (alright, the name given to him by Grace in the first place) in a frivolous display of care. Nevermind rare– on Erid, this is unheard of.
Rocky’s side of the xenonite tunnel steams.
“Thank you.” He says, bravely. “I’ll still call you Grace.”
Laughing again, Grace says, “That’s alright. ‘Grace’ is sort of a nickname anyway, since my full name is Ryland Grace.”
Fuck, Rocky thinks.
It should be embarrassing, or awkward, this sudden expression of closeness between them. Mostly, it just feels right.

Summary
Everyone at the sect knows what kind of a monster cheonmyeong is, how he's the dragon of the sect. How he's a prodigy. Everyone almost sings his praises and though they might have accomplishments of their own, they can't even surmount to what cheonmyeong did for the sect and the strenght and skill he possess. In conclusion, they ponder.
Or
Everyone, mostly those included in tags as his students, are jealous of cheonmyeong. They wanna be him. Not just like but litreally him. So I thought, why write about it?

Baek Cheon continues yelling, “Chung Myung, don’t think I haven’t noticed you slacking off! These past few weeks you have been sneaking around the sect like a bandit! Mount Hua has stabilized, but that doesn’t mean that you get to leave, damnit!”
Seeing his chicks all working together to pummel him to the ground. Chung Myung feels moved, he could almost feel a tear roll down his cheek. He pauses and says, “Ok, fine you brats! Of course, I’m not alone, of course I’m not.” while throwing a kick at Jo Gul. -

Summary
“Cho Sam-ah, you could at least give this Hyung-nim of yours a greeting, no?”
Ah, that confirmed it.
“It has been, what, over a year since you disappeared? I thought you had tucked tail and bolted!”
The boy let out a cackling laugh.
“Yah! I missed you dearly, Sam-ah. Come sit here with this hyung of yours. Let us catch up!”
Let us not.
Let me actually take a good swing at your crooked nose.

Bookmarker's Notes
Jo-Gul looks angry. Why is he angry?
Something is wrong.
Chung Myung knew in the back of his mind that he had overlooked something. There is something Jo-Gul had seen that he didn’t. It doesn't help that he can’t think properly right now. Not with the continuous buzz in his head. Not with the tears streaming down his face. Wait..
With a hand, Chung Myung wiped the few tears that had slid down his cheek. Willing himself to stay optimistic about the situation. He has to get out of here.
“I am Cho Sol, Cho Sam’s older brother. I did not know you changed your name Sam-ah!”
Cho Sol took his hand and gave Chung Myung’s back a large slap. Laughing loudly, he continued conversing.
“You know, this fool had run away from us over a year ago! Now I learn he’s changed his name and is out wandering around where? Mount Hua? Do you know how to even wield a sword, Sam-ah?”
Chung Myung listened to his teasing words, making eye contact with Jo-Gul once again. Without tears this time, he had already made one mistake. Jo-Gul did not look any less relieved; in fact, he looked angrier. His gaze was set on where Cho Sol had his hand on Chung Myung’s back.

Summary
"Come on Carl, just one thing! Lokken just got her future memories! Why can't I just know one little thing." Ryland was not above whining to get what he wanted. Everyone kept acting weird once they got the time travel memories! The only explanation was that it had to do with the Hail Mary. He wanted to know why.
"You know the project is going to succeed. Is that not enough." Carl, the traitor, raised an eyebrow like he wasn't affected by Ryland's pleas.
"Ok but what do they find? What are the astronauts going to find up there that we can't replicate?" Ryland asked for the umpteenth time. They were all so tight lipped about it! If they already had the answer why don't they just implement it now, why wait almost thirty years?
Carl just laughed, again, like he always did. "You know, you'd already know that if you remembered it," he teased.
Ryland huffed. Fine then! "When I get my own time-travel memories I wont tell you everything I know, see how you like it!"
Weirdly - It was never anything normal with these people! - Carl just smiled, but it didn't reach his eyes. "I can't wait."
OR
The Petrova Task Force travel back in time one after the other. They forgot to invite Ryland.

YES LETS GOOOOORight from the start, he was a fundamentally good man.
“Easy for you to say when you’re not the one being murdered!”
She flinched back from the door at the memory, his scream ringing in her ears. If she went back to Scyther, gave him no choice, she could take him and make him analyse the astrophage. She could slip some hints to another team, convince them to investigate Venus and find out how they breed. It’d be someone else who became the worlds leading expert on astrophage - It would always be astrophage, she would pass no other name to the world leaders - and Dr Grace would be none the wiser. He would just be another face in the crowd. He’d be one out of a million, but he’d be safe.
“Should I really do this?” she asked the empty air.
The air chuckled, wheat-gold hair and sky blue eyes crinkled in amusement. “You already know the answer, you always have. You never needed my advice,” he teased, voice lilting in the same musical tones that underpinned the words of an alien friend.

Sixteen years have passed since Grace arrived on Erid and a new ship has been spotted in the 40 Eridani system, not from Erid and not from Earth. When Grace finds himself an interstellar ambassador between the Eridians and these new aliens, uncomfortable questions arise about whether Grace could ever really be considered Eridian, and whether he might be happier somewhere else...

FRICK I LOVE THISSSSSSS
PTECHROMIA (expresses through colour) meeting ERIDIANS (expressing through sound) and Grace(tm) the guy that can hear and see limitedly lol"Is your program malfunctioning?" Rocky asked bluntly, waving his image-to-texture camera around in annoyance. "This is nothing to me. Random static with random colors." The other two people with image-to-texture cameras signaled their confused agreement.
"I think they're celebrating," Grace said. "They're moving around energetically. And they can change the color of their skin! That's what's making it so hard for you to parse. They're flashing a ton of different colors with no pattern. There are a few Earth animals that can change their skin color, chameleons and some kinds of octopus, as a way of hiding from predators. It’s very rare and very cool to see.”
“Doesn’t human skin also change color?” Rocky asked. “You said your skin turns red when you are hot or embarrassed.”
“That’s different,” Grace said. “That’s involuntary, it’s just a side effect of blood moving around. This appears to be much more pronounced and intentional and fast. That has to be how they communicate in colors! They must have a really precise control over it to use it that way. Wow, that’s gorgeous.”

“You can't be serious?” Carl asks.
“I don't do jokes. And someone has to keep an eye on him.”
He groans and runs a hand over his face.
“But why me?” It won't only be him, he knows. He'll have his team with him, a few trusted agents who he has worked with for years (and who are currently sneakily accepting chocolate covered peanuts from the teacher.)
But this still feels like a personal blow somehow. Did he do something wrong? Is this what he has been reduced to? A glorified babysitter for a scatterbrained teacher?
There is that half smirk on her face, the one that either enamors you or makes you shit your pants, depending on whether or not you are on her good side.
“You told him your name.” Her answer throws him and she can tell. He opens his mouth but she carries on. “Your real name.”
***********
Carl is less than thrilled when he gets reassigned to babysit a teacher playing around with three dots in a glorified warehouse.
But at least this job should be rather uneventful.Boring even.

Stone after stone after stone wanders into the little transfer hatch. My collection grows with every day. Some of the gems repeat themselves and I’m afraid I might run out of comparisons but somehow I never do. Every stone is unique and every time I look at one my mouth forms the words before my brain knows what it’s going to say.
One day Len puts something into the hatch and when I open it on my side I stop in my tracks.
A normal rock, not a gemstone. It is a nondescript brown and not very big. The only thing that keeps it apart from other rocks is its smooth surface and unique shape. It is almost perfectly round. That’s probably why Len mistook it for a gemstone and brought it. To them it looks like all the others.
“Is it pretty?” they ask and I finally take it out of the hatch. It has cooled down enough. “What color is it?”
I hold the nondescript and ordinary stone in my hand and feel warmth in my heart.
“It is perfect.”
I take a closer look at the color and smile.

Once he was in a room where she wouldn't be able to hear him, Branch dialed Floyd's number.
“Hey, you're on-”
“Poppy doesn't know I'm Bitty B, and I just found out she writes fanfics about him- me!” Branch burst out in a panic.
It was silent before there was a roar of laughter from over the phone.
Branch sat on the ground, pressing his face into his knees. “You're hanging out with John, aren't you?”
There was a distant ‘fanfics!’ before he heard Floyd again.
AKA, Poppy writes BroZone fanfics. This causes some confusion.

“Absolutely not!” John yelled into the speaker.

“Why do you name constellations?”
“It helps us identify the star clusters.”
“Why do we need to know where star clusters are?”
“Our ancestors used the stars as a form of travel. Without it, they’d be lost. Over there is the Galax.” Optimus pointed to the constellation, “It always faces north.”
“What’s a Galax?” Bee looked at Optimus, then furrowed his brows when he saw the Prime looking at him with an expression. “Sorry, am I asking too many questions?”

"Oh, understand," Rocky says. There is a moment's pause, and then he asks, "Grace word mean movement smooth and beautiful. What mean ♬♪♩?"
I type the last word in as 'Ryland', against my better judgement (I'm not looking forward to getting disappointedly full-named by Rocky's sardonic computer dictation).
"It technically means 'land of rye', which is a kind of grass grain, but not all human names are actually words. Actually, now that I think about it, names like 'Grace' are a bit of an exception."
Rocky considers this, claws tapping together the way they do when he's calculating something. I have just finished sealing away the remnants of Taumoeba Batch #72 when Rocky speaks up again.
"What mean Rocky name, question?"
I freeze. Crud.
━━━━━━━━
It's a long way to Erid. Rocky has some name-related revelations, and Grace is going through it. It's technically his fault, but he'll complain about it all the same.

He knew that Batman was so secretive about his personal life no one knew anything about his real identity. He knew that he always slept with the window closed. He knew that there was no hero who wore red, green and yellow. He knew when someone needed help desperately.

Nick would go for a move he internally called “Old Faithful”: he’d fake a yawn, stretch his arms out to his head, then slowly, slowly wrap it around her shoulders and pull her in close. Did he have to go through the rigamarole of pretending to be tired so he could get Judy to nuzzle into his side? No, not really, but it made him feel like she wouldn’t be as likely to call him out on it.
Meanwhile, Judy usually played the long game, trying to methodically inch over towards her fox over the span of the move until she was right next to him. She knew she could jump the gun and snuggle into him right at the start without any complaint, but this was part of their little dance, neither one willing to openly address the simmering tension between them.

I raised my hand up to grab the students’ attention. Like most classrooms, it took a second, but they all turned their attention onto me.
“Alright class, please each of you come to the front.” I didn't want to explain right then, yet the students followed my order and came just in front of my desk.
Right. Ok. Now for the fun part. The stoneipede is made of, well, stone similar to an Eridian so dropping a book on it like I want to won't do much harm. But I do have a screwdriver. Its something helpful to keep on hand when you have many little rocks running around breaking things (on purpose or not). I carefully pull it out and inform the kids to stay by the desk.

Bookmarker's Notes
Grace pressed his hand briefly against the wall before sitting down in the chair he'd long since arranged just so. He'd had the chair for years. It was not a comfortable chair. It had started as an uncomfortable chair and time had made it worse. He'd asked the Eridians for a better one three times, and three times they had built him something xenonite-adjacent that suited Eridian sensibilities and did not suit his lumbar spine whatsoever. He had stopped asking.
…
Explain, he said softly.
"I don't mean I was confused. I mean ... I didn't know my name. I knew what oxygen was. I knew how to operate the ship.
The science was there, all of it, intact. But I didn't know Ryland Grace. I didn't know where he'd come from or why he was there or what kind of man he was.
I was a person with all the knowledge and none of the ... story."Rocky was very still.
That's death, he said.
The words were quiet. Not dramatic. Just a conclusion arrived at through impeccable and devastating logic.
"People don't see it that way."
People are wrong.
"Maybe."
