hunt you down, eat you alive by nambi

Summary
“I wonder how things would be if we’d evolved on the same planet,” Grace says, leaning his forearms on his elevated knee. The one kept up by Rocky’s body. It puts even more weight on him, and Rocky feels the texture of Grace’s shoe through the xenonite, the bumps and ridges, the rocks and leaves stuck to the bottom. “You think we’d eat each other?”
It takes every ounce of self control for Rocky to keep the noise he makes somewhat dignified. He kind of needs Grace to stop talking.
/////
Or: Rocky learns about persistence hunting, and it’s both the most terrified and the most aroused he’s ever been.

Summary
I’m safe. I know this. As foreign as it feels to give myself credit, I know I helped save Erid, and that every sentient being on the planet knows it too.
And yet, something small and primitive in me can’t fight the brief flash of fear that zips through me when Adrian skids to a halt before me and I am forced to look up at them.
For a moment, they just stand there. I am reminded of the first time I saw Rocky, atavistic horror battling with fascination, coming together in a trembling awe. I feel no different looking at Adrian than I felt looking at Adrian, a vast expanse of green before me, knowing I am the first human to ever witness it, finding beauty in it as much as knowing it could spell my doom under the right circumstances. The light of my dome shines down on them, casting a dozen towering shadows over me.
“Hi,” I manage, forcing myself to swallow through a dry throat. If this is who Rocky chose to spend his life with, they’re cool. They have to be.
/////
Or: Rocky introduces the two people he loves most.

Summary
The Eridians don't have love words. Love is assumed -- structural, built into everything. But they do have a word for the specific feeling of being relieved someone exists. Not for what they give you. For what they are.
Rocky has been trying to translate it for three years.

Summary
Rocky knows that Grace is considered an adult for his species, but his hindbrain goes crazy when he finds out he’s in his 30s. So that’s why he’s been feeling weirder than normal. His alpha instincts think Grace is a pebble.
Or,
What if Eridians had ABO dynamics and humans didn't? (Gen ABO dynamics | Non-sexual heats/ruts)Now with a second chapter feat. Adrian!

Summary
“We call this ♪♫.”
“The color or the rock?” I tease, earning myself a low staccato noise not unlike what a human might sound like when faking a laugh.
And then, from one second to another, he straightens. I sense the shift in the air, and as I rise from my squat, Rocky's gaze follows me very, very slowly.
“What?” I ask.
“Say name of this again,” he says, and I tilt my head. He’s never needed me to repeat something before. His hearing is immaculate, and he’s never once forgotten something I’ve told him.
“It’s a rock.”
He doesn’t move. He stares at me with his featureless face until even that feels more unsettling than eye contact.
“Grace,” he says flatly. “You are fucking kidding me, question?”

Summary
“Grace remember now. Grace sabotage mission?” Rocky demanded. “You could do, easy. Grace could open taumoeba tanks. Grace could set spin drive to blow up ship. Grace could do many things.”
“What? No, no, I haven’t done any of that!” I hurriedly reassured. “I won’t, Rocky. I wouldn’t!”
“If Rocky had no extra fuel, Grace sabotage mission, question?”
“No! Rocky, I’m not going to sabotage anything! I wouldn’t do that to you.”
---
There are many bad things about Rocky—as there are about any person I’ve ever met. And that isn’t even talking about myself. But the problem isn’t that he’s bossy, or swears like a sailor even though I can’t directly translate, or takes up more than half the space on my own gosh darn ship…
…No. The problem is that despite all his flaws, he’s too good.
Rocky is endlessly, painfully good.

Grace and Rocky have a very important conversation.

Yeah, he's running. by godofsloths

Summary
Grace ran.
He kind of didn't mean to, but he'd almost cried when he felt his bare feet touch the sand, and his legs moved before he could think about it. He was a lot slower than he remembered being - years spent in a cramped space, malnutrition, the gravity of an alien planet and just general trauma will do that to a guy. But he ran anyway.He saw the sea shimmer, the surf waving at him as he laughed and whooped his way down the beach.
He saw the last human being he'd ever know again struggle to meet his eyes, as he begged and pleaded.They had killed him.
But he had never felt more alive.Bookmarked by HelKat

Summary
It's been years since Doctor Ryland Grace saved Erid and Earth. He is content with his life, happy just to teach the next generation of Eridians and have the occasional game night with Rocky and Adrian in his dome. For the most part, nothing changes.
And that's the problem. Shouldn't Grace, y'know...age? When Rocky indicates that he should be sixty human years old by now, Grace can't reconcile the young face in the mirror with the time that his friend has religiously kept.
Things get more complicated when another undoubtedly human ship shows up at the edge of the 40 Eridani system. Suddenly Grace is playing ambassador between the two species, and tensions are rising between them. Will this be a successful second contact, or is the peaceful life Grace just wants to live too much to ask for?

Summary
‘There appears to be a real risk,’ said Psychologist Prime, tapping a stylus against their tablet in an idle way that frayed at the edge of Adrian’s sore nerves, ‘That should Alien Human-from-Earth-of-Sol Asylum-seeker Savior-of-Erid Grace perish, then your mate Savior Rocky may experience a radical and potentially fatal decline in physiological and psychological health.’
‘...I see,’ said Adrian. With exceptional calmness.
---
Let it not be said that Adrian was not devoted as well. They had stood firm, a loyal widower longer than others could fathom. Once you encountered a love like Rocky’s, there could be no replacement. Nothing could even compare.
‘Do you understand that?’ Adrian wanted to ask. So desperately, they wanted the alien’s reply. ‘Are you the only other creature in the universe who understands what it is like to be loved by someone so completely?’
---
Adrian meets Grace several times, before Grace is healthy enough to meet them in return. Despite light-years of distance between their species, Adrian might have finally met the first other being who appreciates Rocky like they do; or so they hope.

Summary
Time is a fickle thing.
One day you are young, playing in the rain with a smile etched onto your face. The next day you are old, graduating college and stressing about bills and student loans.
Then in the next, you are young again, too young and too scared as you are told that you are going to be sent on a suicide mission to save your planet- and in the next heartbeat you are old again, walking with a cane and greying around the edges.
Then, inexplicably, you are so so so very young again.
And isn't that a shock for Ryland Grace to wake up to.

Summary
Funny, the things you forget. Like that aliens are supposed to be frightening.
Years of friendship had buried that instinct. Turns out it only takes being effortlessly pinned to a mat, a xenonite limb unspooling towards you with all the slow, sinuous elegance of a War of the Worlds tentacle, for it to come roaring back.
“Humans bond with their young by torturing them, question?”
