Summary
Are we living a life that is safe from harm? Of course not. We never are. But that is not the right question. The question is: are we living a life that is worth the harm?
Kaneki Ken loves medicine.
He loves his father's old textbooks. He loves the colorful anatomy diagrams. He loves the rhythm of scientific articles, the shape of words like 'fossa' and 'muscular dystrophy'. The research projects/work shifts/studying/crying don't leave time for Kafka, but those books were for creepy little orphans, anyway. Which he isn't anymore, because he's not a kid anymore, because soon, he'll never be that kid again.
The world is hurt or be hurt. It is better to be hurt than to hurt others. But to be a doctor is to heal hurts without hurting yourself. To be a doctor is to be free.
Kaneki Ken is growing up. Kaneki Ken is moving on. Kaneki Ken will become a doctor or die trying, because hope is a thing with teeth and he'd bite through his tongue before going hungry ever again. And god help anyone who gets in his way.
aka: an au in which kaneki ken is premed instead of a lit major, with mixed but (ultimately) uplifting results
cw: suicidal ideation.

Summary
Three years after the probes carrying Taumoeba and Dr. Ryland Grace's final message arrive on Earth, humanity launches an interstellar spaceship with a brand new mission. Thirty-six crew members (including two graduates of a certain San Franciscan junior high school) travel to the star 40-Eridani to make friendly contact with the Eridians and bring them the alien life form from Tau Ceti-E that can save their star if Dr. Grace's sacrifice failed.
Grace, now fifty-seven years old, is just trying to balance his life as a teacher while no longer being the only human on the planet anymore. It's a big adjustment, but Rocky and the Terra's Grace crew are going to make sure he's well taken care of.

Summary
"Many stages in Eridian reproductive process. Rocky Adrian laying cycles finally sync up recently. So, Rocky Adrian think finally time for eggs. Adrian lay five eggs, very good. Only, strange thing happen. Rocky only lay one egg."
“Oh,” I say. “That’s unusual, right?”
"Very," Rocky hums.
My throat tightens. "Does that mean there's something wrong? Are you sick?"
Rocky makes a gesture I usually interpret as "not exactly". "Not sick," he says. "But doctors still worry. When Eridian start to make fewer eggs, this usually means laying period of life is over soon. Rocky very young for this. Rocky supposed to be in ideal time of life for laying. Rocky younger than Adrian, even." He shifts on three of his feet. Already, my mind is racing ahead, wondering -- "Doctors told Rocky to ask Grace, is this radiation side effect, question?"

Summary
“Who complained about you eating, question?” Someone must’ve said something. He’s had so many visitors in the last couple of days. Who was it? Grace has never questioned this part of himself. Grace huffs at me.
“No one! I’m just trying to be polite! Eridians have special soundproof eating rooms, shouldn’t I?”
“You are not Eridian!”
He doesn’t need to meet our standards; he’s his own species! Some things he might need to change in his daily life to adapt to Erid life, but his food habits don’t need to be one of them. My words don’t comfort Grace like I thought they would. Grace shrinks into himself, and I wish I were on his side to hug him.
or the Entities provide Grace with a culture teacher to prepare for life on Erid and he gets his first taste of Eridian inhospitality.
