    Summary

    The first time we were discussing the politics of his homeworld and Rocky told me about this group I kinda brushed it off to be honest.

    A small fraction of Eridians who are rumored to be almost as old as Erid itself and who never show themselves publicly, have a lot of influence over the entire planet and pull all the strings from the shadows? Yeah, no. That sounded a little bit too much like those conspiracy theories your illuminati obsessed neighbor would sprout at you in the elevator if you were unfortunate enough to be trapped in there with him on your way to work.

    Which just shows that even with a doctorate in microbiology I am still an idiot because why do I constantly compare earth standards to an alien species? 

    **************

    Some very important Eridians want to observe one of Grace's lessons. And hey, he's so great at public speaking under pressure, what could go wrong?

    Summary

    "Hmm," I hum as new eyes start to begin to focus on us after Grace mentions marriage so clearly. It's difficult to be upset at them because, to be fair, I did agree to make that stupid secret pact with the rest of the Hail Mary crew that we all wouldn't attempt to initiate a romantic relationship with Grace.

    There were two rules of this pact:

    1. Don't tell Grace or Stratt about the pact.
    2. No romantic interactions with Grace.

    This includes:...

    I didn't read anything past that.


    Star Trek AU/Crack where Rocky is ready to make Grace his mate, but this stupid "No Romancing Ryland Grace Pact" is yucking his yum.

    Summary

    "Well," Grace says, reading over the monitor with Mary's full report, "everything looks good. I'm as healthy as a horse. A healthy horse," he adds, getting ahead of Rocky's inevitable logical objection to the phrase.

    "Mm," Rocky hums, "no, Grace not as tall as horse. Hair is shorter, also."

    "Are those--" Grace plants his hands on his hips. "Are those the main differences you see between me and a horse?"

    (In which Grace has multiple crises, breaks his foot, gets his brain microwaved, learns to hate cherry tomatoes, and becomes a celebrity--not necessarily in that order)

    Summary

    They should introduce tests for future astronauts on deviant attraction to aliens and only allow steadfast human-lovers. Although... Oh no, they'd all fail. This is NASA. That's why many people go there in the first place, I'm sure of it now. Zero chance for a country where redditors stormed Area 51.
    My situation is dire.
    Yao would never have ended up in this position.
    Not sure about Ilyukhina, though.

    A collection of drabbles about the journey to Erid which has evolved to develop a plot.
