    Summary

    Rocky suggests a learning experience, and ends up learning a few things about himself that he's not quite ready to know.

     

    “I could leave the room and observe from out there,” I say.

    “No,” Grace insists. “Go to other end of ship. Go back to sleep. Go unconscious.”

    “I want to observe,” I say. “You’re enjoyable to watch. I want to know. I want to perceive everything about you.”

    Grace… doesn’t say anything in response to that. His mouthparts move soundlessly, and his tongue flickers out to moisten his lip.

    Summary

    The Eridians have finally gotten the water feature in Ryland's personal zoo enclosure just right (even if Rocky would like him to stop calling his dome that).

    Rocky refuses to believe that humans naturally float. There is no way Ryland's entire species regularly goes into deep water for fun.

    Summary

    It’s been fifteen years since Grace landed on Erid with Rocky, and the first few years were rough. Scurvy, beriberi, and so much other maladies were so prevalent in Grace that he was sure he would expire at any moment. But that never happened. Now he eats meburgers and sometimes a less satisfying vitamin shake.

    But new challenges arose after an era of tranquility.

    While Rocky normally visits him and takes Grace on a morning walk to his class — Grace finds a new guest at his doorstep one morning...

    Adrian.

    A large, beautiful turquoise, impressively smart Eridian, and most importantly - Rocky's mate.

    After a wonderful day of talking about Rocky and science, Ryland Grace has to now deal with emotions he hasn’t had since his days on Earth.

    Why must his heart race so much every time their carapace gets near him? It’s truly not good for someone his age to have a crush on a such a large but beautiful Eridian!

    Summary

    Explaining colour to a species that does not perceive the visible light spectrum is harder than it looks. And comes with more discussion of romantic relationships and revelations about himself than Grace expected.

    OR, Grace and Rocky try to figure out how colours work, make it back to Erid, and accidentally invent Eridian astrology before they are finally honest with each other about how they feel.

    Inspired by this animation of an audiobook scene.

    Summary

    Adrian is, to put it bluntly, very upfront. And even a little bit rude sometimes. But they are never mean. When Rocky and I started teaching them English, them and I started joking back and forth a bit. Their humour is dry (like a lot of Eridians, I have found) but they always know how to make me laugh. They’re caring and smart and—I’m getting off track.

    To put it shortly, I am…attracted to Adrian. This realisation came shortly after I realised a looming crush on Rocky. How embarrassing. Nothing about us is compatible. I would die outside of my ‘enclosure’ (for lack of a better word) and they would die a slow and painful death inside of mine. Without a protective suit on, I mean.

    And yet…

    Or

    Grace realises he is very much crushing on not just Rocky, but Adrian as well. He also really wants them to lay eggs in him and possibly has wet dreams about that. Often. Maybe.

    Summary

    Zoochosis refers to the patterns of behavior noted across many species in response to prolonged isolation within a cramped, unchanging environment. It often presents in the form of repetitive movements or vocalizations ranging from benign to self-destructive. Frequently performed without the subjects input nor knowledge.

    Many humans have theories regarding widespread zoochosis symptoms amongst sentient life on their planet. Some mentioning crowding zoochosis, in which said symptoms presented due to overcrowded conditions and a lack of dynamic environment.

    Eridians did not. The hum of the planet itself was never far from perception even in the space elevator. And the sound of other Eridians was a constant, ever changing comfort. No one from Erid was ever truly alone.

    Until Rocky.

    Summary

    I've been trying to rationalize it. Tell myself it's just scientific curiosity. I mean, Rocky and I are the only human-Eridian research team in existence. It makes sense that I'd want to understand his biology more completely. Document everything for posterity. Fill in the gaps in our xenobiological knowledge.
    That's a perfectly reasonable scientific motivation.

    Summary

    He always trusted Bucky. Steve believed that Bucky would remember him someday, and he was prepared to wait as long as it takes.

    That day had arrived.

    It felt like a dream. He opened his apartment door and saw Bucky standing there.

    His voice caught in his throat, tears threatening to spill over.

    “Bucky. You remembered me.” That was his first thought. It was the only possibility. He almost cried saying it.

    “Yes, sir.”

    Summary

    Everyone always knew there was something odd about the relationship between Goku and Vegeta, but they had no idea there was a specific Saiyan word for it. Or just how differently Vegeta had viewed his interactions with Goku during all that time.

    This is (not) a Saiyan love story.

    Or

    Vegeta has to spend 17 years with a seemingly unrequited black crush on Kakarot before they get together, and along the way he falls in love, becomes a father, finds his place on Earth, and gets his ass repeatedly beat into becoming a better person.

    This is his story.

    Summary

    “How much do you remember?” Sieun says, because he’s not gracing that kind of joke with an answer.

    Suho wobbles his head instead of shrugging. “Bits and pieces. Not enough, apparently - that uniform is new. You moved schools?”

    Sieun almost flinches at the observation. He debates how much to tell Suho when he’s only just woken up and things are still new and everything is messy. He opts for lying by omission. “Yeah.”

    Suho wakes up.

    Sieun doesn't know how to tell him everything.

    They go from there.
