    Summary

    Trapped in a dying body, Rocky is delighted to realize the alien ship that just showed up has a spare body aboard. Unfortunately, after transferring their consciousness over to the spare, they learn three things.

    First, this “spare body” is the only body on the ship, occupied or otherwise.

    Second, therefore, somehow, the body itself is sapient.

    Third, therefore, Rocky is faced with an impossible dilemma. Keep a sapient being trapped in its own body, or vacate the body, thereby killing themself and dooming all of Erid.

    There really is only one choice.

     

    Grace is being possessed by an alien. Sometimes “generously” allowed to do what he wants, but never allowed to run, he struggles to learn the language of his possessor so he can beg it for release. In the meantime, he’s an emotional mess.

    And if he’s never been possessed before, then why is this feeling of helplessness so familiar?

    Summary

    "We don't meet people by accident. They are meant to cross our path for a reason."

    ---

    Title comes from a song, being Staring at the Sun by TV On The Radio

    Expect a new chapter every Saturday. I'll aim for around 12:00pm EDT, but that's subject to change since reading my calendar makes War And Peace look like an elementary level read.

    Since I'm way too locked on this fic, I put together a playlist!

    https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3q70FEcr4mrpmvjww2qLMY?si=RjLsDvWBRS2X_cRf8N9ygQ

    It’s unfortunately only for Spotify. HOWEVER, each chapter has a few songs assigned to it, and they’re mentioned in the notes for each chapter. So if you don’t use Spotify, you can make a playlist of your own. I’ll add songs to the playlist as I update chapters

    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.
