    Summary

    Grace has to handle First Contact with an alien planet with what meager Eridian his one set of vocal chords can make.
    This Is Fine. This is totally, completely, utterly fine.

    (Grace sounds like a pebble. This, alongside Eridian's extended lifespans, kicks off a chain of misunderstandings that Grace would find utterly mortifying if he knew what the heck was going on.)

    Summary

    The arrival at Erid is a momentous occasion. Rocky is excited and thrilled. Ryland is overwhelmed. But the reunion is happy, beautiful, amazing.

    Or that's what it should have been. Except Rocky gets hurt, Ryland is left to try and communicate with an alien planet, and everyone is scrambling to figure out how to do this. To Grace, this is incredible but also bittersweet - he got Rocky home safely with the taumoeba, now he just gets... to starve. To Erid, this is insane - how did Rocky show up in an alien spaceship with a child???

    ...

    Ryland Grace is stuck trying to speak Eridian, immediately makes himself sound like a child, and Rocky's world and family scramble to help this strange pebble. Misunderstandings galore, alongside hurt/comfort and angst and fluff.

    Summary

    As he stared down into the lumpy grey goop that was his evening rations, he contemplated whether it was really worth it.

    They’d come a very long way just for Grace to give up and die at the last hurdle, both physically and emotionally. The Tau Ceti system was a long, long way away now, and Grace had faced not one but two highly emotional suicide missions. Three, if you counted the time before he was given a military grade roofie and hucked into space without his memories.

     

    Rocky and Grace make it back to Erid! Huzzah!
    Now they have to navigate all of... that.

    Summary

    He shuddered when Grace's fingers tapped the glass panes of xenonite that separated them one afternoon, or as afternoon as their journey home would ever allow. His tone was playful, and Rocky braced himself from where he was meshing two panes of xenonite together. They really did have more important things to focus on. “Hypothetical: When we get back to Erid-”

    “If Grace and Rocky ever get back to Erid-”

    “-you’re saying I’m basically gonna be a walking porno for your race?”

    Rocky placed down his soldering iron. “Doesn't Grace have taumoeba tanks to check temperatures for?”

    Summary

    “Grace!” Rocky says. “Look!”

    I look. Then I gasp.

    “Is Adrian!” Rocky says.

    (or, what happens once Ryland Grace becomes the sole human inhabitant of Erid.)

    Adrian wants nothing to do with the alien Rocky brought home. When Rocky is rendered incapacitated, Adrian has no choice but to step up and care for Grace

    Summary

    By our stars and saving grace,
    save us from this deep dark place.

    When you've been in darkness for too long, you tend to grab onto the first light you see. Sometimes that light happens to be two aliens from a society 11.9 light-years away from your own, and they happen to be exactly what you were looking for all along.

    Summary

    Sonar knew more than anyone else about how to close the deal or outsmart an opponent. He knew the power of a fitted suit and a good negotiation strategy. A little blackmail never hurt. Everyone in the world is scheming for money or power. Sonar knew how to leverage their desires to his own advantage.

    In many ways, Robert Robertson went against everything Sonar ever knew. Robert was an honest, hardworking man with faded jeans and ratty shoes. Sure, he had secrets, but he didn’t carry himself like a man with something to hide. He stood tall and confident despite his low station in life.

    Sonar just couldn’t figure out his angle. He did not seem to have any desires for money or power. There was no possible way that Robert was satisfied with his humble lifestyle and meager dispatcher paycheck. Yeah, he looked a little worse for the wear, but he didn’t have a criminal record like the rest of them. Sonar just wanted to figure him out. Why did Robert even take the job? He couldn’t possibly care about the team out of the goodness of his heart.

    Summary

    If this record is a confession, let it be a complete one: the human-thinking-machine Rocky was gifted has everything on it. With the aid of the device Rocky had made back aboard the Mary that translates light on Grace’s human-visual displays to texture on Rocky’s Eridian-sonar display, accessing all of humanity’s combined wisdom is as easy as making a database query.

    Rocky consumes approximately 1,600 Earth-hours of human pornography before the ship’s engines cease to function, leaving it dead and stranded in space. Again.

    Summary

    Carlos is absolutely objective. It’s just that it’s quite hard to stay objective when you’ve got Hooded Figures living in your kitchen, radio news reporters stalking you with somewhat dubious baked goods, and everything is so soaked with chemicals, radiation and dark magic that half the time your food disparages your cookery skills while you’re trying to make dinner.

    Summary

    It’s 2008, and Robert Robertson III is trying to balance court-ordered community service, a disciplinarian father, and the suspicious honour of being Mechaman’s spawn. You know. Normal teen stuff. At a clean-up detail, he meets Sonar: a helmet-wearing hybrid with his own rap sheet and his own reasons for staying guarded. Unfortunately, they have way too much in common.

    Or

    What if Robert and Sonar had met each other when they were younger?

    Summary

    Stakar had once told him of alternate realities and universes (places where things worked and played out differently than they did in theirs) so maybe things had gone that way in one of those places.

    Hell, maybe in one of those...whatevers, Peter, boy or girl, was a baby when the Ravagers found them, or they picked up their mama before she even had them and so he or she had been raised among the stars.

    There were so many variables in these alternate places, and Yondu could think of every way the situation may have played out.
