Summary
Rocky doesn’t offer false assurances or claims that everything will be okay. They both know the world doesn’t work like that, that life isn’t always kind. They both know that you can never truly determine what the future holds, that you never know what you’ll truly do, what action you’ll take, unless faced with the decision head on. Rocky doesn’t lie. He doesn’t sugar coat his words, and is sometimes too blunt for his own good. Grace loves him for it. That bluntness that pulls him out of his own head.
His former partners had told him before that he always had ‘his head in the clouds’ and they were right. They used to try to pull him back to Earth, to force him down. Rocky’s never done that. He’s always flown next to Grace, staying by his side as a grounding presence, letting him float but never drift too far. Lives with him in the clouds but keeps them both tethered to Earth.
Or: Modern!Married Grace and human Ortiz!Rocky where we take a walk through the domesticity of their lives, fated in every universe.

Summary
“Um, hello.” Rocky lifts a hand slowly. The rock spider chitters and attempts to lift one back. But it’s tangled in wire, and the force that the alien uses to tug it free sends his body reeling backwards and thumping against the side of the tunnel. Rocky tries to keep a straight face.
“I’ll call you Grace,” he says. “Clearly you have plenty of it.”
...
Rocky wakes up in the Tau Ceti system, with his commander and science specialist dead. How's he supposed to save Earth?
Befriend the alien scientist he runs into, of course.

Summary
"Do not," Grace warns weakly, already knowing it’s too late.
"I married a scientist," Rocky says solemnly. "A brilliant man. A perceptive man."
"If you keep talking I will throw myself out of this car."
" — There is no one else I want to be with but Dr.Grace, even when hes being very very obtuse —"
"Thats not even a good usage of that word! And Ill make you sleep on the couch!"
" — And hes a man I'd love to have kids with."
What better way is there to fluster your husband than to pick him up in an expensive car in front of his students? Why, bringing up the idea of having kids in said car of course.

Summary
The engineer takes my hand. His skin runs hot. Very hot. He doesn't let go at what I would gauge as a socially-acceptable handshake time interval. Are we just holding hands in the middle of the lab-workshop space? Guess we are.
"I'm Rocky," he finally introduces himself. He has a hint of an accent, something lilting, melodic. I can't really place it.
"Rocky," I repeat, slowly. "Like the movies?"
"No," Rocky deadpans, giving me a look like I'm stupid. "Like the rocks."
