    Summary

    “Your life is very short, Saviour-Grace. The Elders have thrummed extensively about your future on Erid, and we offer you our most sacred of ceremonies.” He gestures to the xenonite-encased stones arrayed in front of him. “Are you aware of our creation myths?”

    OR

    In which Grace participates in a sacred Eridian ceremony that he's sure has no chance of actually working. It would be rude to refuse, after all. There's no way that it'll actually do anything to him...

    Summary

    Miriam thought the job working for InGen sounded perfect. Tropical island, good pay, first dibs on publications… At least, she thought so until she found out that she was the only behaviorist on staff. Once the eggs hatched, it became all she could do to keep up–with the dinosaurs, the science, and her health.

    Summary

    Grace had an aversion to swearing that Rocky couldn’t understand - which was frustrating since obviously Rocky had wanted to learn every Eridian curse word under the sun after they’d learned to communicate. It was an overall stupid and inconsequential thing, but he was just itching to hear him let loose a squeaky, frustrated fuck.

    Rocky added that to his ever growing mental list of things he wanted to do with him: get Gracie off so good he finally said fuck.

    Rocky was confident in his abilities to make it happen.

    He’d be the best damn lay Grace ever had, actually. Alien species, be damned. Rocky was nothing if not adaptable and teachable; he aimed to please. He’d do whatever necessary to aid his best friend in succumbing to absolute bliss. It was a little ridiculous how fast that had become his new life’s mission.

    Project Get-Grace-Off.

    God, Rocky needed to get laid; he might be losing his mind

    Summary

    Grace's webbed hands press against the glass, his curious chitters surprising the young man standing next to the viewport he was observing from. He’s newer on the team, Grace jogs his memory for his name again.

    The young man holds his hand to his chest, breathing a sigh of relief, “Oh hey, Grace. Come to see your new neighbor?”

    He nods, chirping his burning question, “Who is it?”

    “Dunno,” Chris, right, that’s his name– “It’s another mer.”

    (Or, Rocky and Adrian are helped by a merman named Grace, and in turn they save him. Now happily living in the Erid Marine Rehabilitation & Research Center, Grace is surprised when another injured merman named Simon is brought to recover in a neighboring tank. Perhaps, these two lost souls may finally have a home, together.)

    Summary

    Science has warned us of what might be
    Dangers that drift through infinity
    Comets may call or meteors fall
    And nobody knows what lives out there at all

     

    Grace squinted at the telescope’s texture-screen. He could clearly make out Threeworld, but not quite the blob floating next to it.
    “Do we have a light-screen?”

    ♩Yes, yes.♩ The astronomer hit a button and a regular light-screen came to life.

    ♬Does that look like Earth’s probe, question?♬ Rocky asked, standing to his side.

    Grace stared stock-still at the screen. “Absolutely not.”

     

    Informed about a strange craft found orbiting Threeworld, Rocky and Grace are sent to investigate.

    Summary

    My pride stings a little at being so underestimated by a species that couldn’t even outrun a particularly determined turtle if their life depended on it. Look, I’m no Sha’Carri Richardson, but I’m pretty proud of my seven-minute mile. I worked hard for it. I haven’t been able to handle myself like this since I was... well, since I left Earth.

    “Y’know what? Let’s settle this once and for all. I could use an endurance test anyway. Good for my cardio.”

    Dr. Bones perks up. “You’ll do a demonstration?”

    “Absolutely. Give me two rest days and a warmup, then I’ll show you what the average human athlete can do.”

    -----

    AKA, Grace doesn't consider himself much of an athlete, but he's no slouch either. And he's got the physical prowess of his whole species to represent!

    The xenobiology team, on the other hand, is horrified to learn what a 'persistence hunter' is.

    Summary

    Humans didn't always live on Technological Islands, trapped in glass domes, fearing the polluted air would invade their safe space and end the rest of human life on Earth. There was a time when it was normal to travel the world and see all kinds of natural landscapes, swim in saltwater, venture into the middle of forests, breathing deeply to feel the humid air in your lungs...

    Louis didn't remember a time like this, a distant past that was just an illusory dream for them. In this new reality, he struggled to understand the modified genetics of the three classes and the development of a superior and more ferocious genetic strain, the Enigmas.

    Or, Louis has serious internal problems, but the idea of ​​becoming a mother begins to blossom in his mind when a project bigger than himself falls into his lap.

    Summary

    By 2060, tech was at its peak, but humanity’s hunger for more never dulled. That’s how Frost and Flare came to exist; born in womb pods, one cold and the other a wildfire. Untamable, unstoppable… until a mission went sideways.

    Enter Lux: sexy, inked, and deadly, who nearly got them busted, made them lose their lead for the first time, and worst of all? Made them curious. Maybe a little too curious for his own good.

    Summary

    Grace was a chemistry guy: his world was provable and predictable. Every quantum physicist that Grace knew had a wild-eyed, pulling-my-hair-out kind of energy, so it felt like a very bad sign that the most grounded explanation for Simon's presence here might be "wormholes."

    Grace knocked his glasses off his nose to scrub his eyes, leaving them dangling from one ear. Talking to Simon had given him more questions than answers. What else could he observe about the man? What were the objective facts?

    He picked up his marker and wrote:

    -Handsome

    Really, Grace?

    Summary

    The stars are dying. The Eridians and Humanity sent out their best, to find an answer, to save their suns. But those Eridians still on the planet find something else, a space where the stars have already died, where life starts anew. In the hopes of finding answers from the life in the dead zone of space, they send out a small team and they rescue the first human they've ever seen, a dying mutation trapped on a moon of blood. What they drag back to Erid is something they cannot understand but will do anything they can to. When Grace, dying of malnutrition and scurvy, lands with Rocky, they learn that even the basic necessities that they were giving their prisoner were killing him, but now they've got a variable who can at least tell them how their experiments affect him.

    “Come on, come on, don’t leave me like this, I thought I had you figured out”

    Eva Stratt and Ryland Grace weren’t friends. And they weren’t lovers. They were some secret third thing that was filled with rivalry and dry humor. History and Chemistry and everything in between had not been enough in the end to keep their ghosts from haunting the halls of Grover Cleveland High. Now, nearly a decade and a half later, it’s time the pair lay to rest whatever the secret third thing was that still plagues them both.

    Or in which Eva and Grace are high school rivals who, 15 years later, have to teach at the same school.

    Summary

    “If it were possible, hypothetically, would Grace want to be an Eridian, question?”

    “Of course I would,” he flopped back down on the sand, leaning his weight on his hands that were now anchored in the sand behind him. “You know what, there's a movie where something like that happens. Guy goes to an alien planet and gets a new alien body. Pretty good, if I’m remembering it right. Only ever saw it once.”

    He never should've shown him that movie.

    -

    Grace has been on Erid for quite some time now, living life to the best of his ability from within the confines of the biodome Rocky and his team erected for him. Its been perfect, aside from the fact that Grace was on borrowed time and his body was beginning to protest every movement he made. So, with Grace's health beginning to degrade beyond repair and after he made the mistake of showing Rocky the movie, Avatar, Rocky starts a secret project that has the potential to change everything.

    Summary

    Ryland Grace saved Earth, he saved Erid. He was supposed to die a hero somewhere between the stars.

    Or at least he should have, if not for a certain Eridian who has taken a great offense to the short, finite nature of human life. Instead of cherishing the limited time left, Erid reworked the foundation of what was considered scientifically possible—they found a way to turn their resident alien into an Eridian.

    But operating a whole new body-plan is not as easy as it may seem.

     

    or Grace learning to be an Eridian

    ☀︎ ⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯ ◎

    For once, Rocky didn’t comment on my leaking face. Didn’t call me gross or make fun of me otherwise. So I did it for him.
    “Yeah,” I sniffed, half-laughing through it. “Humans leak, ew.”
    Because, well—
    This might be the last time I ever cried.
    “No, Grace leak as much as want. Is okay!” Rocky rushed in immediately, all urgency and overlapping chords.
    “Well, you weren’t going to, so someone else had to do it.”
    He paused. “No understand. Is joke, question?”
    “Yeah,” I said, sniffling a little. “It’s a joke.”
    “Still no understand humor.”

    Summary

    Traveling through dimensions was rather like having the floor pulled out from underneath your feet, sudden and jerking. He’d felt the wizard’s spell wash over him, then the other universe faded away and it was like falling, falling back into his body, into a crumbling building on the river.

    And there was Peter. His Peter.

    (It’s good to see you, he’d said a few minutes ago, twenty years in the future, and he’d said it like he was seeing a ghost.)

     

    Or: Otto Octavius is sent back to 2004, and decides to use the twenty years he knows are coming to make a difference in Peter Parker's life.
