Fics like Returned in Kind

Rocky took ‘Grace’ – a word in a language he can’t speak, with a meaning that doesn’t directly translate – and gave his human friend a name, one with weight and significance, which conveyed exactly who Grace was to the people of Erid. Then, to keep things professional, he did it a second time. Grace isn’t even mad about it any more. He just wishes he hadn’t waited so long to return the favour. (Set after 'False Friends'. Can stand alone. Context: Grace has landed on Erid and recovered from most of his hang-ups around that. Oh, and the malnutrition.)
