    Summary

    “Grace,” she says gently. “You should really play it.”

    I don’t take my eyes off the light. “Are…are we sure it’s real?” I whisper.

    She barks out her boisterous laugh. “I am absolutely the wrong person to ask,” she says.

    —-

    When Grace goes back for Rocky, all he finds is a dead and silent ship. Being the only one left to bring Taumoeba to Erid, he decides to brave the long trip alone. He's not the same man when he arrives at Erid, but an unexpected friendship might bring him back to sanity.

    Summary

    Something soft but aching panged in his heart as he looked at these little ones, and wondered how many of them were siblings. How many of them shared parents in some way or another. How much did they resemble their parents, he wondered. Would Rocky and Adrian's kids resemble either of them? He hoped so. Adrian's green, Rocky's carapace. Their passion for science, their curiosity and kindness. Their love for each other, and him. He wouldn't get to see them grow up. Eridians lived for so long, and humans… didn't. They wouldn't even be in their teens when he died.

    AKA the one where Dr. Ryland Grace gets baby fever, and his mates are more than happy to accommodate.

    A rather familiar one, at that.

    Summary

    Ryland Grace was supposed to spend the rest of his life on Erid, teaching science to a class full of mini-Rockys. Instead, I’m standing in a middle school hallway in San Francisco. This has to be a lucid dream... or a hallucination... or my brain is finally leaking out of my ears. The third option. It has to be the third option.

    Because if this is real... why is Abby drinking coffee in my classroom again?

    I don't know if I will have any romantic relationships so that that as you will.

    Trigger Warning: this work will have scene where main characters have panic attacks and ptsd symptoms.
