Summary
At some point between arriving on Erid, emaciated and delirious, and starting up his classroom, Dr Captain Ryland Grace had become a global sensation.
His actions, unbeknownst to him, triggered cultural waves that, to the humour of Saviour-Rocky, and the glee of the management team at the Centre For Human-Eridian Friendship, introduced trends with unprecedented efficiency and reach.Or: Grace is unwittingly a cultural icon, baby he’s bigger than Madonna.

Summary
Popular tales in Eridian folklore include a long, lanky creature that cracks the carapaces of those who enter the ocean.
So when Erid’s saviour returns in a small, foreign spaceship, missing 23 crewmates, and presenting a creature with an uncanny resemblance to their cautionary tales, Erid is, understandably, horrified.Yet at some point, somehow, the creature had found its way into the hearts of Eridians, and the grotesque alien from the unknown of space became a beloved teacher of their most vulnerable.
Or: Erid learns to love Grace.

Summary
“DuBois. Annie. You can’t send them.”
Eva blinked.
“Then what do you propose I do instead?”
His chest stopped moving for a few seconds, as did his hands. He was still, all of a sudden. Motionless, his eyes still staring at her but the muscles around them contracting like he was fighting a deep instinct to squeeze them shut.
He began to breathe again, shallowly. Then, he opened his mouth.
“Send me.”
___
Ryland Grace has thought it all through. He is the only person truly qualified for the mission. He knows Stratt will agree to send him; he's expendable to her.
So naturally, he makes sure they become friends before he leaves.

Summary
“They kept asking questions that had nothing to do with Quinn’s performance.” I roll my eyes and notice that I’m getting worked up again. Trying to get the midnight blue Eridian back on track had been a nightmare and I’d almost lost my composure a couple of times. “Just what I like to do and what I’ve seen of Erid so far and if they can give me a tour once my suit is finished. And they insisted I tell them what my favorite type of mineral is. I mean, why would they want to know that? What does that have to do with how their kid is doing in class?”
Midway through my rant Rocky has stopped carding his claw through my hair. He is silent for a few seconds and I’m just about to ask him if he’s alright when his whole body starts to tremble. It alarms me enough that I wiggle my arms underneath me and lift my upper body off the couch.
“Rock?”
But then the trembling morphs into full on shaking and then laughter so loud and shrill that I have to cover my ears.
**********
Erid's first ever parent teacher night does not quite go according to plan.
