In a world without the Prophecy, the Crystal still demands a price for using its magic, no matter the human cost to the King's son. Funerals are always hard.

Summary
Rocky thinks, for a moment, and then says, "Need word. Mate but friend."
I blink. Surely that's just, "Friend?"
"No, know friend. Need friend but more. Friend meaning-intensifier deepest-affection-indicator legal-obligation-indicator."
Fun fact: Rocky's language (Not the only one Eridians have! But they don't have quite as many as Earth, presumably because they live so much longer. Or maybe because their memories are so good, I don't know, I'm not a linguist) loves declension. It's a real pity Ilyukhina isn't here, she would definitely be picking it all up quicker than I am.
"Uh," I say. "Partner, I guess? But that's not exclusively platonic, and you aren't usually… married? Eridians marry friends?"
"Some friends," Rocky says, as if the distinction should be obvious. "Best friends. Most best friends. Rocky marry Grace, question?"
[rocky attempts to propose, and trips over some landmines buried in grace's psyche]

Summary
‘There appears to be a real risk,’ said Psychologist Prime, tapping a stylus against their tablet in an idle way that frayed at the edge of Adrian’s sore nerves, ‘That should Alien Human-from-Earth-of-Sol Asylum-seeker Savior-of-Erid Grace perish, then your mate Savior Rocky may experience a radical and potentially fatal decline in physiological and psychological health.’
‘...I see,’ said Adrian. With exceptional calmness.
---
Let it not be said that Adrian was not devoted as well. They had stood firm, a loyal widower longer than others could fathom. Once you encountered a love like Rocky’s, there could be no replacement. Nothing could even compare.
‘Do you understand that?’ Adrian wanted to ask. So desperately, they wanted the alien’s reply. ‘Are you the only other creature in the universe who understands what it is like to be loved by someone so completely?’
---
Adrian meets Grace several times, before Grace is healthy enough to meet them in return. Despite light-years of distance between their species, Adrian might have finally met the first other being who appreciates Rocky like they do; or so they hope.

It almost works. Almost.

Outside In, Inside Out by gallantrejoinder

Summary
In the aftermath of the arrival of the Hail Mary, Adrian becomes used to it. Polite, not unkind deferrals. Occasional rejections, stiffly sung, claws stamped firmly in a simple, no. Not today. Perhaps not for a long time, Adrian. You have a mate to take care of.
Adrian would love to take care of their mate. Adrian cannot tell their community that Rocky is still high above them, still in the spaceship that houses the sick, dying alien Rocky refuses to leave. Adrian will take care of Rocky when they return, but they have not yet returned, and so there is nobody for Adrian to care for at all.
Adrian has waited four hundred and thirty-one years for their mate. Their mate, upon returning to them, has an alien. Adrian will adjust. Just like they always have.
