Summary
"I'll keep you updated. In the meantime, go back to sleep. When you need to worry, I'll tell you."
"Heh." Ryland ran his hand down his face. "It's terrible you know that it actually makes me feel better. What would I do without you?"
"Explode at a colleague at a conference and get expelled from academia and become a middle school teacher." Eva said, promptly.
"Wow, you've thought about that way too hard." Ryland laughed. "Middle schoolers might not vape in class, though. Maybe I should switch."
"Let's not joke."

Oooogh this one is so good, Eva re-doing things to make Grace’s journey easier (and her own harder). We love a complicated woman. Also 11/10 way to reveal to your platonic bestie that you’ve been a time traveler the whole time.

Holy god, I binged this all in a day and I have no regrets. Incredible multimedia experience and just the attention to detail aughhh I wanna crawl inside the authors brain and swim in it. Grace coming back to earth and him and Rocky trying to navigate humanity is fucking PEAK (oh my god the memes also, Inspired~)

Love the deeper explorations of them trying to understand each other when they’re just two fundamentally different beings. Eridian culture speculation is my jam

Summary
Grace squeezes out a wet chuckle, thick with emotion, before suddenly falling silent. Its mouth does that strange up-down up-down movement, like it’s trying to figure out if it’s perplexed or amused. “Wait a minute—“ The human flops on its side to face them.
“Rock, that almost sounds like I’m your kids’ \.\\.”
“New word.”
“Uh… companion animal.”

Or
Grace and Rocky talk about evolution, family dynamics, and dogs.

Summary
I lived with this hunger long before the Hail Mary. This is nothing new. I’m fine.
Right up until Rocky asks another question.
“When last time you touch other human person skin, question?”
Oh. Oh no. “When I… a few days after I first woke up here.”
Rocky starts to relax for a split second, but then tightens when something occurs to him.
“Grace crewmates dead when you wake up. You said this, statement. You not even know your own name, remember nothing, see dead bodies, confirm?”
I nod, because if I open my mouth I will gag.
“When last time Grace touch ALIVE human person, question.”
I swallow thickly. I don’t answer aloud because I know Rocky can hear the hitch in my breath. My stomach churns with fresh bile. He senses my vital signs tick over into stress patterns and goes very, very still again.
“Grace. When last time, question.”
I clench my jaw so hard my temples ache, and beg him with my eyes to just stop.
“Grace. Please say not when… when Evil Stratt humans put you to sleep.”
I can taste grass.

I cried many times thank you, Absolutely harrowing with Grace’s malnutrition and Rocky’s pure singleminded devotion.
