Fics like Downside

Ryland Grace has been shunned, shamed, and left behind in the field of molecular biology. Three months after attempting to defend his thesis at the UNESCO conference as a collegiate student, he is left to work alone in a small and cramped laboratory that affords little more than the four walls it sits within. Distancing himself from friends, family, and colleagues, it all quickly changes when he rescues an actual God's-honest-truth alien and brings him home. With the government on the lookout for extraterrestrial beings and one sleeping on his couch who communicates in whistles and half-word screeches, can Ryland Grace figure out what's going on before it's too late?
