Summary
Ekko had no idea why he woke up in some fancy Piltovan home after coming in contact with an anomaly. What he did know was that he needed to find his way back home, preferably without tipping off the older brother he suddenly had.
Ekko Medarda went to sleep in his bed and woke up near the HexGates with Heimer. They don't know how they ended up there, but they both agreed they needed to find his big brother. ASAP.
Or: What if Ekko ended up in a different universe after coming in contact with the anomaly? And what if he swapped places with his counterpart, leaving the other Ekko in the canon universe?
(Technically a sequel to Meet the Medardas, but you can go in blind like canon!Ekko)

Summary
Life was good for the Herald of the Arcane, Viktor Talis. His husband Ascending as the Defender of the Arcane saved both him and all of Runeterra from a dark fate. Zaun and Piltover were finally at peace with him and his darling Jayce now overlooking them as their patron gods. They had a small army of adopted children they adored. His commune was thriving. Yes, life was good.
But one question haunted him: Why does the Arcane need a Defender? Ancient magic rumbling from the Shuriman deserts may just hold the answer.
(Sequel to The Defender of the Arcane and His Herald. Story being written in a way that reading the 220k word apotheosis/S2 rewrite shouldn't be necessary.)

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]

I'm Ryland Grace - AMA by sly_as_an_alpaca

Summary
What the title says. About 11 years ago (from my perspective; relativity is weird) I was launched into space onboard the Hail Mary to figure out a solution to the Astrophage problem. Now I live on an alien planet I call Erid, in the 40-Eridani system. Yes, I’m actually Ryland Grace. Ask me anything.
Also, can someone please tell me if Eva Stratt is alive? And ideally send me a video of you punching her in the face? Guess that’s a long shot, but it can’t hurt to ask.
---
Grace and Rocky figure out how to connect to Earth's internet from Erid. They may not have thought this through.

The man, or maybe we shouldn’t call him a man quite yet, appeared late at night.
-- OR --
Grace is living a quiet, if boring, life on Erid when someone - or something - mysteriously appears in the biodome's ocean.
Simon claws his way back to personhood.

Summary
WELCOME ABOARD THE HAIL MARY.
“The Hail Mary?” The name reminded him of Eden. But Eden could only dream of this much light. This had to be heaven.
Before the robovoice said any more, footsteps thudded towards them. Simon crawled back. Why weren’t his legs working? He looked down and at least they were still there. Oh God, please be heaven and not hell.
A glowing figure threw the door open.
ELEVATED STRESS SIGNALS DETECTED. PLEASE BREATHE AT THE TONE.
His vision blurred again and he couldn’t even hear the chime this time, just strange musical notes. He could see the glowing figure dim into the shape of a man. No, no, this couldn’t be hell. After all, hell didn’t have angels.
