    Summary

    On their way back to Erid, Rocky and Grace discover a mysterious box. Upon opening it, the two discover some strange changes. Well, perhaps way more than strange.

    Rocky finds a new marking on his arm similar to Grace's scar, and Grace finds markings similar to Rocky's on his arms and legs.

    Rocky begins to dream and can easily wake from sleep, and Grace can stay up for much longer than a normal human should.

    Grace starts seeing sound when it's too dark to properly see, and Rocky starts seeing pops of colour in his sound vision.

    Neither can understand what's happening to them and how they're seemingly linked together, but they know there's nothing in the world that could tear them apart.

    (TLDR: This fic will include almost everyone's favourite things! Rocky learns about how Grace got on the Hail Mary (Including Rocky witnessing the memory of Grace being sent on the Hail Mary)! Grace can survive in Rocky's atmosphere! Grace will live as long as Rocky! Rocky and Adrian reuinite and Adrian meets Grace! Grace will get to go back to Earth with Rocky (for a bit and then go back to Erid)! Grace will get to confront and get closure with Stratt! Fanart included!)

    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

    Rocky didn't mention the asteroid belt surrounding Erid's Solar System. After a meteor collides with the Mary, Rocky suffers a fall and is out for the count. Grace knows very little Eridian, but by God, he's gonna get his friend some help.

    It's just too bad the Eridians think they're talking to a pebble.

    ***

    "Have fi-x," he whistled. "Life eat. Hurt bad."

    Oh, God, this was not gonna work. Not one bit.

    Summary

    "You know what?" Grace leaned back, shifting his weight from his knees to his heels, "This could not get any worse. I'll just have Rocky fix it when—"

    "Greetings… 𝅗𝅥♪𝅘𝅥♪𝅘𝅥… This 𝅘𝅥𝅘𝅥♫… Erid ♫𝅗𝅥♪𝅘𝅥𝅗𝅥 𝅘𝅥𝅘𝅥♫... ♪𝅘𝅥♪ Please 𝅗𝅥♪♫♫ 𝅘𝅥♪𝅘𝅥𝅗𝅥 ship..."

    Rocky sat in his xenonite ball, his legs tucked up and asleep in an attempt to speed up healing from an accident. Rocky is asleep. Rocky is sleeping and injured and Grace's only way of effectively communicating with unknown Eridians is broken.

    "Aw shoot! This absolutely can get worse!"
