    Summary

    Traveling back to Erid, Rocky teaches Grace to speak as many Eridian words as his physiology allows. Too bad it makes him sound like a 4 year old. Who knew Grace was actually 4 the whole time?! Certainly not Rocky!

    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

    Grace and Rocky had solved the Astrophage problem, and were less than six months away from reaching Erid. That was the good news.

    The bad news? They just passed through some sort of wormhole that came out of nowhere, and now Grace is physically and mentally much younger than he was before.

    To an Eridian, a difference of thirty years is nothing. To a human? It’s the difference between being a doctor and being a second grader.

    Good thing Rocky, the number-one human expert, is here. Hopefully whatever that wormhole did wears off eventually, but if not? Well, he and Adrian did always want to start a family someday…

    Summary

    Grace and Rocky have journeyed to Erid, fallen in love and even pledged themselves as mates along the way. Although nervous about introducing themselves and their relationship to Erid, at least they'll get to do it as a team. That's the plan, until Rocky's moult begins as soon as they get close to Erid, and Grace is left alone to baby-talk his way to First Contact with a new planet.

    Without Rocky awake to help explain things, Grace is misinterpreted as being a small child. If only he realised this. And if only he wasn't keeping the fact he and Rocky are much more than friends a secret on top of it...
