    Summary

    After saving Grace and nearly dying in an alien atmosphere, Rocky lays an egg before going dormant.

    Turns out being isolated for years and then nearly dying will force biological imperatives onto injured Eridians, and this one leaves Ryland Grace utterly baffled.

    Aren't Eridians supposed to lay eggs in clutches? Only fused eggs are supposed to be viable, but when Grace accidentally touches the egg with his bare skin while trying to save it, that's apparently all the genetic fusion required for life to begin.

    Ryland Grace skips a few steps when it comes to making a baby, and I test the limits of Eridian biology.

    Summary

    Grace's webbed hands press against the glass, his curious chitters surprising the young man standing next to the viewport he was observing from. He’s newer on the team, Grace jogs his memory for his name again.

    The young man holds his hand to his chest, breathing a sigh of relief, “Oh hey, Grace. Come to see your new neighbor?”

    He nods, chirping his burning question, “Who is it?”

    “Dunno,” Chris, right, that’s his name– “It’s another mer.”

    (Or, Rocky and Adrian are helped by a merman named Grace, and in turn they save him. Now happily living in the Erid Marine Rehabilitation & Research Center, Grace is surprised when another injured merman named Simon is brought to recover in a neighboring tank. Perhaps, these two lost souls may finally have a home, together.)

    Summary

    "You’re overwhelmed,” Stratt said. There wasn’t any heat, any emotion behind the words. She was staring at him, hands clasped in front of her. She looked intense, as always, except she also looked soft. Her gaze was almost gentle, except it still had that underlying need for efficiency, that dry necessity everything Stratt did was tainted by.

    Grace stared at her, gripping his shoulders with his hands so hard his nails were painfully digging into flesh.

    “What do you want to do about it?” he bit out, more defensively than he’d intended. She’d use that against him. She was good at that.

    Stratt shrugged. She had that same expression on her face she always had, something oddly sad and solemn for a resting face.

    “I have tea and hot chocolate. I hear Americans like hot chocolate,” she said. She held his gaze for a moment more. She looked away slowly, eyes tracing the shape of the laboratory windows. “If you come with me, you can have some.”

    ____

    Grace is overstimulated, and Stratt only wants to make up for the fact that she made her scientist inefficient in the first place.

    Summary

    Stratt likes to have contingency plans for her contingency plans, and when Grace mentions an old college buddy of his with a mechanical engineering degree, she does some (less than legal) digging. When she discovers the man's secret identity as a well loved superhero, she figures the Hail Mary can spare some resources for a backup engineer and pilot.

    Unfortunately, the guy was already in a medically induced coma after his Mech suit blew up, but. . . That wasn't exactly an issue for them.

    -~-~-~-~-

    Meanwhile, Chase suddenly has custody of a chubby dog after the disappearance of his psuedo-brother, and the sense that something about him vanishing while in a coma was incredibly fishy.

    Summary

    After years on Erid starved of human touch Rocky and Adrian design models for themselves to connect and interact with Grace as humans. It was a perfect solution, but when Grace and Rocky’s human body disappear it becomes a race against time to bring Grace home safely.

     OR: An Eridian cult leader kidnaps Grace and uses Rocky’s human body to abuse and break Ryland a little bit at a time. All the while Rocky and Adrian scramble to track him down before irreparable damage is done.

    Summary

    Ryland doesn't know where he is, what he's doing, or why he's doing it. All he knows is that he's in a universe with no stars and that an organization called the COI found the Hail Mary spinning out into deep space. He knows that Rocky may be injured somewhere, and he knows that the man that currently lays in a hospital bed in front of him should be dead as dirt but has miraculously survived.

    He knows he has been given an ultimatum. Find out what brought Simon back to life or never see Rocky again.

    The task proves more complicated than he thought.

    Summary

    She is actually doing quite well for a time displaced young woman who has just finished a century-long battle with demon, and whose admittedly-few friends are all long dead, and who hasn't used her vocal chords or seen the sun in a hundred years.

    Summary

    “Human book recommends relaxing bedtime routine. Listen to soothing music, sleep in a cool, dark quiet room. Stick to regular schedule.” Rocky recites what he read. “Schedule is good, room is dark and quiet. Soothing music, question?”

    “Not a bad idea,” Grace stretches his legs a little. “I’ve shown you lots of music. You remember the soothing ones. Why don’t you sing for me?” He asks, jokingly.

    “Good good good!” Rocky chirps excitedly, wiggling around inside his ball. “Yes, Rocky will sing. Grace will listen. Grace will sleep easily.”

    Summary

    At our next Maximizing Rocky Happiness meeting, I pitch my idea to Adrian over a walk down the beach.

    They don’t say anything for several seconds after I finish my explanation. Maybe it was a bad idea to share. Finally, Adrian asks, their tone dry, “You want to put Eridian eggs inside squishy human body, question?

    Summary

    A hit during a game knocks Shane's suppressant patch free, and Ilya escorts him off the ice, secret relationship be damned.

    ---

    "…Shane Hollander appears to have just broken through his suppressant patch, or possibly that hit knocked it off. Folks, you won't believe it, but Hollander may have just gone into acute heat on the ice. Every player in the rink has frozen, but this could turn ugly quickly. He's gone down at center ice and he's not moving—"

    "There are a lot of alphas and three other omegas on these two teams, and if the reaction of the crowd is anything to go by, half the stadium is getting a lungful of Hollander's pheromones right now."

    Summary

    Peter Parker isn’t allowed to go on his school’s mandatory field trip, and for once, that’s a good thing.

    Unfortunately, it also means his entire class accidentally discovering that Peter Parker works for Tony Stark.
