Summary
In linguistics, a false friend is a word or letter in a different language that looks or sounds similar to a word in a given language, but differs significantly in meaning.
In his right mind, Grace would easily identify the mistaken assumptions inhibiting his integration on Erid. Unfortunately, he hasn’t been in his right mind in years.
1: A molecular biologist and a sapient rock can cobble together translation software sufficient to reflect the etymological nuance of an entire alien language.
2: Eridians are enough like humans to have an area 51 and look forward to using it.Or: a ‘Return to Erid’ story where Grace struggles to touch down alone.

Summary
“Grace,” she says gently. “You should really play it.”
I don’t take my eyes off the light. “Are…are we sure it’s real?” I whisper.
She barks out her boisterous laugh. “I am absolutely the wrong person to ask,” she says.

The S in Space is for Spiders by bene_casticat

Summary
Grace knows the chances he’ll survive and live a happy, fulfilling life are so comically low it would be easier for him to win the lottery seven times in a row. But he still allows himself to hope he might be able to go home after this is over, after he figures out why Tau Ceti's star isn’t dying.
If he doesn’t hope, it’s easy to panic, and that isn’t productive to the mission. Besides, there’s another thing that motivates him apart from Stratt’s faith and the knowledge Earth’s fate is in his hands. It’s a bit unexpected, so much so that the realization had made him laugh when it crossed his mind for the first time— it was so sudden and so correct it didn’t even feel like it had come out of his head:
At least there are no spiders in space.
Or,
One severely arachnophobic Ryland Grace meets a tarantula made out of rocks.
