    Summary

    Whumpay 2026 Day 13: Anger born of worry/"Never do that again”

    "He had a lot to say on that subject, actually. We had to add 'reckless', 'idiot', 'foolish', and 'irresponsible' to our shared vocabulary just so he could fully express his opinion on the matter. There was another word he threw around a lot, but he declined to tell me what it meant."

    How exactly did that scene in the book that Grace references happening but never actually show us, play out?
    OR,
    Grace gets a comprehensive verbal ass-kicking from his best friend.

    Summary

    While working on solving the issue of Grace slowly dying of starvation, malnutrition, and a host of other issues, the Eridians discover the human internet (largely Wikipedia) and fall down a rabbit hole of trying to figure out everything they can about the needs of their squishy alien savior. While most of their focus is on the food issue, another link catches their (metaphorical) eyes.

    "Touch starvation, also known as touch deprivation or skin hunger, is the physiological need by humans and other species for physical contact with their own species or other living beings."

    No one is happy about this.

    Summary

    "...Mr. Grace?"

    Colt froze.

    He had turned instinctively at the voice - and for a single moment he saw three or four kids crowding the doorframe of the classroom, and one of them, a girl in a bright yellow jacket, had her hand over her mouth in shock.

    "Mr. Grace!"

    Or - Colt Seavers visits Grover Cleveland Middle School.

    Summary

    Missing scene from the book of Rocky finding out how old Grace is, from Rocky’s perspective.

    Grace has mentioned that he is a scientist as well as a teacher to human children. On Erid, only our Elders would step down from their purpose to impart their knowledge on the next generation. Grace must be very old indeed to become a teacher, and to be chosen for this mission.

    The capsule touches down on Erid about a decade and a half after I do.

    There's a message inside translated into fourteen different languages. Y'know, just in case I've taught myself - and then the Eridians - Afrikaans.

    Hey, it reads. Can we have our ball back, please?

    Summary

    Grace is unprepared for the level of love that all of Erid seemed to have for him. It was vaguely terrifying, but also.... nice? To be cared for. To be wanted.

    It gets worse when they find out the circumstances of him ending up on the Hail Mary.

    When his declining health necessitates a trip back to Earth, he is faced with a planet that loves him so fiercely and wonderfully that it finally starts to break through his crippling lack of self worth and bloom into something incredible.

    And Earth? Earth has to deal with an Erid that is polite, protective, and most of all, pissed.

    The Coltlandgentry AU, where the three of them got recruited into the Sierra Program as teens.

    “I’ve taken the bug out,” Court announces from the living room.
    “I’ll take my food out of the fridge,” Colt adds from the kitchen.
    “And I’ll take the dead body out,” Ryland answers with a sigh as he steps in the entry. He really would have loved nothing more than to spend his sleep time in a bed and not in the back seat of a car, but that wish was over when the man came closer than he had in the last two days and followed him into the stairwell.

    Grace would be forever grateful that Dr. Stratt thought of everything. If there was even a 0.01% chance of something happening on the Hail Mary, Dr. Stratt thought of it. The fact that there where pregnancy tests on the Hail Mary at all should have been for an abundance of caution. They just didn't account for Simon and Grace.
