    Summary

    Come on in, come on in, Strattlanders, come in from the bitter, angsty cold. It’s a brutal world out there, filled with beautiful but tragic stories. So much heartbreak, so much loss, so many missed opportunities. But in here, it’s warm! Cozy up by the fire. Here, have a bowl of sour skittles and a colorful, cozy quilted blanket. Let’s throw aside reality and canon, and imagine a story where Eva and Ryland aren’t torn by a lab explosion (and Eva’s cold efficiency). Or where Eva doesn’t spend decades in jail. Maybe she gets a different ending. Maybe they work out their issues. We’ll find out soon! So take these two cups of warm, comforting coffee, and let’s begin…
    _________________________________________________

    Eva Stratt joins Grace on the Hail Mary mission. Angst, comfort, space adventures, fluff, and love ensue.

    Summary

    "I knew I liked girls," Robin says, "because I wanted to kiss girls.”

    “Yeah. But how did you know it was more than the normal amount?”

    “…the normal amount,” she repeats.

    “Well, sure.” Steve scrubs a hand through his hair. “Everyone wants to kiss everyone a little bit, right? Like. How did you know it was more than the normal heterosexual amount?”

    Robin cannot believe she’s going to have to say this out loud. She glances around the empty store just to make sure no one has somehow teleported in during the last two minutes.

    “Steve. Steven. There is no normal heterosexual amount of wanting to kiss people of the same gender.”

    He crosses his arms. “Well, that can’t be right.”

    Summary

    “I will not apologize for speaking the truth,” the child says. “However, I regret if that truth has offended you.”

    “Jesus Christ, kid,” Jim mutters.

    “I am not offended,” Spock responds, as blandly as he is able. “I was remiss in casting such hasty judgment upon your guardian.”

    ”Father,” she corrects.

    ”Your father,” he agrees.

    *****

    An academy AU + Tarsus aftermath fic in which James T. Kirk ends up accidentally parentally bonded to an orphaned Vulcan child. When the father/daughter duo enroll in Star Fleet, hijinks ensue (mostly at the expense of Spock’s previously immaculate but quickly deteriorating self-control).

    Winner of the 2025 Philon Award for a novel-length fic (!!!)

    Summary

    Petulantly, Rocky says, “Grace sound stupid. Like child.”

    “I’m just talking how you talk, buddy.”

    “Yes. This is because I talk like child, to speak to stupid human.”

    “Well, you don’t have to do that,” I say without thinking.

    “♪♫♩as this♪ when, underst♪♪♫d ♪me, question?” Rocky says.

    “What?”

    Summary

    "Many stages in Eridian reproductive process. Rocky Adrian laying cycles finally sync up recently. So, Rocky Adrian think finally time for eggs. Adrian lay five eggs, very good. Only, strange thing happen. Rocky only lay one egg."

    “Oh,” I say. “That’s unusual, right?”

    "Very," Rocky hums.

    My throat tightens. "Does that mean there's something wrong? Are you sick?"

    Rocky makes a gesture I usually interpret as "not exactly". "Not sick," he says. "But doctors still worry. When Eridian start to make fewer eggs, this usually means laying period of life is over soon. Rocky very young for this. Rocky supposed to be in ideal time of life for laying. Rocky younger than Adrian, even." He shifts on three of his feet. Already, my mind is racing ahead, wondering -- "Doctors told Rocky to ask Grace, is this radiation side effect, question?"

    Summary

    The capsule touches down on Erid about a decade and a half after I do.

    There's a message inside translated into fourteen different languages. Y'know, just in case I've taught myself - and then the Eridians - Afrikaans.

    Hey, it reads. Can we have our ball back, please?

    Summary

    Grace and Rocky, doing it like they do on the discovery channel.

    (ft. Rocky being evasive about his feelings, Grace's demisexual alienfucker sexuality crisis, and also a couple of meandering flashback journeys through Grace's less-than-impressive dating history.)

    Summary

    “Good morning Grace. Sleep well, question?”

    “No,” he says, which is how he usually answers that question these days. “New symptom, maybe. I might be forgetting stuff.”

    Rocky trills in concern. “Yes, you said that yesterday.”

    (Malnutrition has a lot of symptoms. One of them is memory loss. Grace is not doing great.)

    Summary

    “Proof of concept,” ♫♬♯♩♩♫ says. “We’ve tested it thoroughly to ensure it fits the specified nutritional profile, and several members of our team have ingested small amounts of it to ensure there were no adverse effects.”

    “You ate some of it?” I ask, rudely. I’m too irate to mind my language. Who do they think they are? That meat is for Grace. In a way, that meat is Grace.

    “Yes,” ♫♬♯♩♩♫ says. They and the rest of the human life support thrum know better than to be offended by my occasionally strange behaviour. “Obviously we weren’t going to risk the life of Honoured Grace on a completely untested technology.”

    That doesn’t mean much. There’s a lot of things that are safe for ingestion by Eridians that would outright kill a human.

    Trust Grace, I remind myself. He’ll have thought of all this.

    Summary

    You are profoundly alone. You have been for a while. Suddenly, you aren't anymore, and you are struggling to be normal about it. Pooling strengths and weaknesses with the strange creature on its explosive-atmosphere ship might just be the only way to save both of your stars, but it might also lead to more than just strictly scientific discoveries, and neither of you are sure how to feel about that.

    Summary

    To keep your human healthy, happy and enriched is of great concern, Rocky knows this very well.. humans need many things to keep them from being too leaky or very nearly dead.

    Knowing that your teacher leaks is one thing, but seeing it happen is a completely different experience.

    Summary

    Grace squeezes out a wet chuckle, thick with emotion, before suddenly falling silent. Its mouth does that strange up-down up-down movement, like it’s trying to figure out if it’s perplexed or amused. “Wait a minute—“ The human flops on its side to face them.

    “Rock, that almost sounds like I’m your kids’ \.\\.”

    “New word.”

    “You flatter me.”

    Grace shakes her head. “I— I really don’t mean to.”

    “But you do.” Adrian insists. “You name planet that saved the universe after me. You name planet that seeded all life after me… now you tell me that I am something humans would like to adorn themselves with?”

    Summary

    All life on Earth evolved, in the beginning, from aquatic life forms. To many, the call to return to the ocean is instinctual, a feeling deep in their bones that goes far beyond any rational reasoning. To float amongst the waves, to kick and splash until it feels as though you were always part of the water, is to be entirely free.

    --Or--

    Grace gets access to an ocean, and immediately forgets everything else he's supposed to be doing.
    Rocky is not as thrilled by this.

    Summary

    I lived with this hunger long before the Hail Mary. This is nothing new. I’m fine.

    Right up until Rocky asks another question.

    “When last time you touch other human person skin, question?”

    Oh. Oh no. “When I… a few days after I first woke up here.”

    Rocky starts to relax for a split second, but then tightens when something occurs to him.

    “Grace crewmates dead when you wake up. You said this, statement. You not even know your own name, remember nothing, see dead bodies, confirm?”

    I nod, because if I open my mouth I will gag.

    “When last time Grace touch ALIVE human person, question.”

    I swallow thickly. I don’t answer aloud because I know Rocky can hear the hitch in my breath. My stomach churns with fresh bile. He senses my vital signs tick over into stress patterns and goes very, very still again.

    “Grace. When last time, question.”

    I clench my jaw so hard my temples ache, and beg him with my eyes to just stop.

    “Grace. Please say not when… when Evil Stratt humans put you to sleep.”

    I can taste grass.

    Summary

    The Hail Mary has sent off its Beetles and Eva Stratt is the first to dissect them for the data within. If anything, she’s simply glad that Ryland Grace, as odd as he may seem at first glance, is thorough. His logs, both visual and written, go over everything in pretty good detail.

    She’s also come to learn that he has a pretty bad habit of leaving the camera on when it isn’t meant to be.

    Rocky enters ♬♪♩♫, a three-day hormonal surge somewhere in between the severity of human ovulation and animalistic heat, on the way to Erid.

    This can easily be read as a standalone fic, but it is also intended as a bonus chapter to Don't wanna act like there's tomorrow
