   Summary

   Grace was content living on Erid with his best friend and his mate for the rest of his short life. He had no real desire to return to Earth—beyond getting human touch again—after Rocky set up a classroom for him. But, he was fine being surrounded by aliens until he died.

   That is, until, space faring Eridians bring back a blood covered, very injured and incredibly human person.

   Summary

   Touch-starved Ryland Grace was excited at the prospect of another human on Erid who could help with platonic touching every once in a while. Simon, however, refuses to touch Ryland, closes himself off from everyone around him, and keeps having sex dreams about Grace.

   What could possibly go wrong if they’re in a room together?

   Summary

   I am promising at least 100k words for this fic (so stay tuned)!

   Dr. Grace does not remember his dreams, and hasn't for his entire life. On it's way to Erid, the Hail Mary gains another passenger, a mysterious man pulled from a metal artery. Finding trouble explaining away the unexplainable, Grace has to balance befriending Simon, getting used to Eridian culture shock, and fighting his own demons. It seems manageable till Grace starts hallucinating as well.

   Summary

   'Grace—' Rocky warned, clutching his shirt.
   Grace gently removes the claw.
   “I promise you I'll be careful, I swear Rock, but I need to see him.”
   Rocky steps back, his suit is covered in blood. Grace's hands are shaking.
   He is about to meet another human for the first time in years.

   Or: grace had turned the page with humans until one of them popped in space.
