"to be where you are" by rylandbuckleys

Summary:

Colt Seavers spent most of his life staring at the ground as he plummeted toward it. Then one day, his attention was captured by the stars. Not for a fun, curious, or fantastical reason. No, his reasoning was shitty, life-altering, and painful.

or;

It’s been twenty-seven years since Ryland Grace was sent on a suicide mission lightyears away from home.

His twin brother, Colt Seavers, looks back on their time together and their time apart, while waiting to receive a crucial update - was the mission successful?

"wide open spaces" by tallboy_benny

Summary:

Rocky visits Grace's life support quarters with some exciting news, some time into his recovery on Erid---the biodome habitat has finally been completed.

It takes a step through the airlock and sinks down into rough sand and pebbles. I chirp and hop down after it. Grace has not seen the biodome yet, but neither have I, and in my enthusiasm I dart slightly ahead. Grace inhales so sharply that I turn to hear him better in a panic. “Grace? Grace, what is wrong? You are hurt?” My assumption is quickly corrected when, without warning, it bolts.

"Keeping Watch" by Starri_Skye

Summary:

“You sleep, I’ll watch.”  We both know that they are not going to sleep. We both know that the moment they go still, they will be dead. And I will be alone. But I won’t say that, and they won’t say that, even if it’s the truth.  “You…save Erid,” they say.  Not a question.  I will be the last Eridian on our ship. I will be the last hope.  Or I will die. Just like every other Eridian has died here, and will eventually die on Erid, because we failed.   I shift low, close to where my last friend lays. “You sleep, I will watch,” I tell them again.  And they go to sleep.  And they never wake up again. 

Rocky loses everyone on his crew.

Years later, he meets an alien.

"11:34AM" by PipBerry

Summary:

I look to the clock Rocky forged for me, my ‘Earth’ clock as it were… died a few months ago, turns out I’m not great at figuring out how to build triple A batteries! Add it to the to-do list. 11:34am. With a deep sigh I roll onto my back, but my vision swims further, twisting my ceiling in spiralling ways. ----

Ryland Grace is settling into his life on Erid, a place to now call home. Working hard to teach kids and pushing himself to find a new normal, Grace becomes sick with a unknown illness. Can he get better under Erdian care or will his mysterious illness consume what's left of him.

"i have loved the stars too truly to be fearful of the night" by aligningplanets

Summary:

'Rocky, do you remember the expected, average human lifespan?'

I ask it conversationally but Rocky freezes in place all the same.

'No,' he states.

'No?'

'Yes, Rocky remembers. No, do not want to talk about this.'

I lean back and fold my arms.

'Rock…'

'Grace. No. Bad bad bad.'

Dr Ryland Grace is an old man. Dr Ryland Grace knows what he wants to happen when the time comes. Rocky doesn't want to talk about it.

"My Lover and the Alien" by Velika_Azure_Wing

Summary:

Adrian's love has returned to them from the stars and brought along… an alien. All new things take an adjustment period. Some are just stranger than others.

"for I will stand vigil, and fend off all that wish you harm" by koganesan

Summary:

Why the floor? 

Because stubborn as he is, the increasing risk of falling out of bed and doing serious damage to himself was greater than his pride. He's curled up next to one of the panels of Rocky's habitat, and Rocky sits on just the other side of the xenonite. Rocky rarely leaves his side now. It must be very boring for him, watching Grace just lie here.

Lying down hurts, but it's the only thing he can do. 

OR

Grace and Rocky sometime in the last few months of the journey to Erid.

"Open Up Your Eyes" by Brokenpitchpipe

Summary:

“Are you going to tell me what I did wrong, or are you just going to give me the silent treatment for the next four years?” 

“Human treatment to induce silence?” Rocky perks up. “Good plan. You teach. I administer.”
