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
Rocky darted out of the way. The door shut with a decisive whirr-click.
The endless glug-thud-squelch of Ryland Grace's body seemed very loud in the small room. He made a noise that sounded like, "Huh?"
"Grace and Adrian talk now," Rocky commanded. They pointed one arm at them. "Talk until both normal."
"What?" Adrian said, baffled.
Rocky clattered several claws against the ground, a discord of pique. "You are both annoying! Always polite, polite, polite. Bland. Empty."In which Adrian and Grace haven't really been getting along, and Rocky takes matters into his own claws.

Dirty Films and Star Saviours by TheTearThatHangs

Summary
The Eridian Board of Film Classification were elated to have received an influx of human motion pictures due to the latest, cutting edge developments in screen-to-texture technology. The association now had the all-important task of rating the films according to their appropriateness for families and pebbles.
To their revulsion, they discover that most human films involve filthy, scandalous eating scenes and food references, hardly appropriate for an adult, let alone innocent pebbles.
Grace, enabled by Rocky, decides that he needs to put them onto the concept of mukbangs.Or; what films can you think of that don’t involve food or eating in some way? Yeah… Grace really should have thought about Erid’s food aversion more before he sent them every film humanity had ever created.

Summary
A series of short fics exploring Grace and Rocky's friendship, among other things. (Each chapter is its own story; I just wanted to have them all in one place.)
Chapter 1: Rocky thinks humans are equally disgusting and cute. Somehow, through it all, Grace reminds him of home.
Chapter 2: Rocky can pick Grace up easily, and Rocky thinks it is very funny. Rocky and Grace tease each other.
Chapter 3: Eridians bring Grace their babies for him to see, and Grace learns about Eridian culture/religion. Grace is also bad at taking compliments.
Chapter 4: Rocky makes Grace celebration jewelry. Later, Grace gets a similar gift from Adrian.
Chapter 5: Grace and Rocky tease each other, and Rocky is introduced to the idea of throwing things at your friends. He decides that humans are odd, but maybe aren't all that bad.
Chapter 6: Grace tries to convince Rocky to swim, but Eridians don’t typically like deep water because they are heavy and will sink/drown. Grace learns about some Eridian mythology.
Chapter 7: Grace talks about the lack of support teachers have on Earth. Rocky is confused by this.[This has a limit, so new chapters will have their description at the beginning of the chapter instead]

Summary
"What'd you tell them so that they'd let you keep me here?" Grace asks, too anxious to let it go.
"Is easy," Rocky says confidently. His tail whips down and wraps around Grace's waist, causing his heart to skip so many beats that he almost pukes. "Rocky say Ga'race is pet."
"Oh," Grace says dreamily. "Well, that's - what the fish did you just say?"
***
The Hail Mary made the decision to land even before Grace woke up.
As such, he fully blamed it on Mary when he went and fell in love with one of the indigenous Na'Vi that occupied the moon.
Well... maybe it was a little bit of his fault, too.
