Summary
Erid had lost hope of the crew they sent to space ever returning. And then they spot a different ship coming towards them and a pebble talking to them over the radio about how they and Rocky found the solution to the star-killer problem. Chaos, of course, ensues.
Aka. The Eridians assume Grace is a pebble.

Summary
Grace learns from his students that the Eridians have been gossiping about him and Rocky. What spurred these rumors? An upcoming opera about them that's being marketed as a love story. Before they can make a public statement denouncing it, the director makes them an offer: a private showing before the public release.

Summary
Grace flexes its jaw, shifts the marker towards one corner of its mouth, then removes the marker without actually consuming it. It makes a sharp pop as it leaves Grace's mouth, brightening the tubing in Grace's nose.
"I've got it reversed," Grace decides.
I unfreeze enough to let out a loud and pointed noise of disgust.
"Yeah, sorry buddy. This isn't exactly my wheelhouse."
Without acknowledging the aborted attempt to eat the marker, nor wiping it's digestive fluids off of it, Grace taps the square it paused over again.
"This is actually a second cousin," It says.
I decide not to ask.
-
Or: The road to Erid is long. Rocky spends it slowly figuring out what it means to be human, and how Grace muddles along through it.

Acting like a Pebble by Chantidy

Summary
In my thoughts, I recall that conversation about me being cute. Could I find Grace cute?
I focus on Grace for a split moment.
…
Then I went back towards my xenonite. Nah, full grown adult over there— despite being around 30 Earth years old, and if that were converted to Eridian math— that was very young. Pebbles could barely speak yet at that age. But this was an alien— a human we're talking about. Grown ass man.
Or so Rocky thought.
(5 times Rocky witnesses Grace acting like a pebble, and the 1 time Rocky acts like one himself. Featuring, a reunion between Rocky and Adrien!
This work was inspired by multiple artworks on Tumblr. Rated teen for sailor mouth Rocky.)
