I like to think that Simon and Rocky's early friendship involves a lot of aggressive banter that usually ends in Simon punting Rocky across the Hail Mary. Rocky is a professional rage-baiter and Simon has a short temper. They appreciate using one another as a verbal/physical punching bag (Rocky hates it when his snarkiness goes too far and he makes Grace cry and Simon would rather throw himself back in the Iron Lung than accidentally let his anger out on Grace. So Rocky and Simon make this weird mutual agreement to just... Squabble out their bullshit)
Bonus: Rocky is pissed he can't get Simon back for all the punting while he's stuck in his xenonite ball. So, one of the first things Rocky does once he finishes making his xenonite suit is to dead-leg Simon from behind when he least expects it. This starts up another round of bickering as Rocky scampers off to give Grace a hug while Simon is still writhing on the floor spitting profanities

(but also! this goes for everybody, feel free to reply with your own fic recs!!! id love to read your favorites and the ones you've written yourself!! n_n)
FIRST AND FOREMOST!!!
"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;
Itβs 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?
------
ββ genuinely one of my all time favorites right now. its a coltland twins AU fic but GOD IT HURTS. IT HURTS SO MUCH I LOVE IT!!!!!! im genuinely so surprised it only has about 2.5k hits at the time of writing this because it's so good!!!!! i plan on drawing fanart for it! ππ anyways here's the rest of the fic recs! im not gonna add anymore comments because this is getting so long with all the summaries ππ
"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. βGrace? Grace, what is wrong? You are hurt?β
My assumption is quickly corrected when, without warning, it bolts.
"Keeping Watch" by Starri_Skye
Summary:
βYou sleep, Iβll watch.βΒ
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 wonβt say that, and they wonβt say that, even if itβs the truth.Β
βYouβ¦save Erid,β they say.Β
Not a question.Β
I will be the last Eridian on our ship. I will be the last hope.Β
Or I will die. Just like every other Eridian has died here, and will eventually die on Erid, because we failed.Β Β
I shift low, close to where my last friend lays. βYou sleep, I will watch,β I tell them again.Β
And they go to sleep.Β
And they never wake up again.Β
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 βEarthβ clock as it wereβ¦ died a few months ago, turns out Iβm 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.
'Rockβ¦'
'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?Β
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.Β
OR
Grace and Rocky sometime in the last few months of the journey to Erid.
"Open Up Your Eyes" by Brokenpitchpipe
Summary:
βAre 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?βΒ
βHuman treatment to induce silence?β Rocky perks up. βGood plan. You teach. I administer.β
Anyone up for some Coltland twins angst? Cause this entered my mind and now Iβm losing itπ
What if Ryland somehow got sick from working with astrophage? Heβs the one whoβs been in most contact with the organism and somehow it affects him, so he gets sick. Really sick.
And one day Colt gets a call that his brother is dying. No one knows why or how β the only one who could have a shot at figuring it out is fading away in a hospital bed. And all Colt can do is to visit as soon as he can, and sit with Ryland until the end.

Grace & Rocky swap bodies. oops. you hate to see it
very inspired by the wonderful fic The Astrobiology Immersion Program by @startingatmidnight, highly recommend. I mostly just wanted to draw rocky in grace's body figuring out how a face works, which was extremely fun to do
Tumblr sexyman tournament is coming, and an obscure character very dear to me is in it. Unfortunately, he will face a powerhouse in the first match... but I will not give up!
And that is why I did this presentation for you, Howl fans. Let's make an alliance against an evil triangle out there.
@sexy-people-contests-2026 some piece of propaganda.
