    Summary

    She finally looks at the gift Grace has brought her. 

    It is a cactus. Eva has no idea about cacti so she can’t tell if it’s a special kind but to her it looks like any other cactus she’s ever seen. It is round and not much bigger than her fist, sprouting long and wicked looking spikes in every direction. The pot is a nondescript brown, the kind of pot you can find in every hardware store.

    All in all, it looks utterly unremarkable.

    **************

    Grace gifts Stratt a cactus because as far as plants go, they are pretty hard to kill. Stratt might get too busy to care for it sometimes but that's alright.

    As long as Grace is around, he can pick up the slack.

    Summary

    “Where is Teacher Grace’s family crest?” Quinn asks, jumping up and down like a bouncy ball, almost bowling Roo over who shrieks in outrage. Too much energy, that one. 

    “Uh.” Before I can explain that humans don’t really have anything like that (at least nothing that gets carved into their skin) Sam taps against the barrier.

    “Right there, stupid. On Teacher Grace’s arm-limb.”

    I look down to see what they are pointing at.

    It’s Rocky’s clawprint. The one he left behind when he pulled me to safety after the Adrian fiasco.

    *********************

    The pebbles are too invested in their teacher’s personal life and Grace finally realizes that he’s part of a family. He has a lot of feelings about that.

    Summary

    “Whoa, wait, back up.” Holland instantly sat up in his seat, grabbing hold of the arm so he could twist round to face Holly. “Klein? As in Janet Klein? Did you fucking punch Janet?!”

    “Mr. March!” Principal Harrison admonished, “Language!”

    Holland gave him an apologetic wince before he looked back at Holly.

    “Holly,” he said, gentler, “Look at me.” He waited until Holly complied with his request. “Honey, did you punch Janet in the face?”

    ——OR——

    Janet runs her mouth, and Holly finds that sometimes, a little violence is very helpful, actually.

    Summary

    Between processing the unhealed grief of losing his wife, trying to keep from drinking himself into a coma, and struggling with his freshly grown feelings for his business partner, accepting a new case is probably not the smartest thing March has ever done.

    Summary

    “Did you know there’s this weird thing called a lock? And, get this, they signify wanting to be left the fuck alone."

    “That’s funny, real, fuckin’ funny, March,” Healy sneers down at him. “You don’t get that luxury when you can’t even take care of yourself.”

    March furrows his eyebrows, having the gall to look offended. Healy resists the urge to punch him. “What is that supposed to mean?”

     

    Or Healy gets to see what March does when things get bad. Neither are equipped to handle the emotions that come with it, and they're both having a bad time on the bathroom floor.

    Summary

    Blackmail. Illegal porn. Undercover at a gay bar. The Nice Guys sure are at it again.

     

    “Porn? I can throw a rock in this neighborhood and I’m gonna break the window of a porn store.”

    March gestured anxiously, waiting for the other shoe to drop.

    Healy paused. “Ohhhhh. The nasty stuff. Whips and handcuffs. Girls and animals.”

    “Close,” March said, grimacing. He really, really didn’t want to have to explain this. “Think more like…. Disco.”

    “Disco?” Healy raised an eyebrow. “What, like the queer music? You think the back room of that store is full of porn for… For disco fans.” He nodded thoughtfully a couple of times. “And you’re an expert about this?”

    For a second the whole world went white around the edges and March thought he might pass out. He was too sober for this conversation. What exactly had Healy noticed that morning, how obvious exactly had his full-body reaction to Healy’s hand on his neck been? “I was a happily married man!” March said, and as soon as it came out of his mouth he knew it was wrong. Too fast, too high-pitched, too loud.

    Incriminating.

    Summary

    That is how it starts. 

    My pebbles are all good kids and a tight knit group. There are rarely fights or tensions and I can honestly say that they are all friends.

    But Sam, showing all of them up with a gift that made Teacher Grace smile softly with tears in his eyes? 

    That means war.

    **************

    A lucky find leads to lots of gifts for Teacher Grace from his precious pebbles

    Summary

    The Eridian thrills a high sound that doesn’t get picked up by the translator which means that it has no clear meaning. Like when a human gasps or sucks in a deep breath. It actually sounds a little like that. When they notice that I’m staring straight at them they scramble back into their hiding spot and hold very still. 

    A child, I realize with a start.

    That’s a child! 

    “Hey,” I call and the kid squeaks again. I was about to get to my feet but abort the movement and crawl closer on my hands and knees until I'm inches away from the xenonite wall. I wait and it takes me much too long to realize that they don’t have to peek around the corner to see if I’m still there.

    “Hey there,” I try again, my voice low and calm. It’s my teacher voice, the one I use for shy and scared students. 

    Used. 

    The fact that I haven’t had to use it for years and it still comes to me automatically almost knocks the air out of my lungs but this is not about me, it’s about making sure the little pebble doesn’t die of fright from the scary alien. “Hi, I’m Grace. It’s alright, you don’t have to be scared.”

    Summary

    After a year in orbit, Grace thinks he's ready to finally make his way down to Erid. The planet has been eagerly awaiting his arrival, ready to welcome him like a hero. Grace forgot to consider just how loud Erid could be and, more importantly, how frayed his tolerance is after years of near solitary travel.

    OR

    Grace is overstimulated and has a meltdown shortly after arriving on Erid. Rocky tries to help.

    Summary

    It's not jealousy. Adrian is adamant about that. They are actually insisting that it’s not any emotion at all. Not even dislike. They are simply completely uninterested in anything that concerns “the human”. 

    Rocky believes them. Adrian has always been the level-headed one out of the two of them. They are too logical to be jealous. They acknowledge that Grace and Rocky have a special bond after everything they went through together and also understand that none of that will ever pose a threat to their relationship. 

    Neither are they heartless or ungrateful. They know that Grace is the only reason that Rocky is back at all, the only reason their star has stopped dying. Adrian has told Rocky again and again that they are grateful and happy and wish the alien no ill will. They even helped with the construction of the biodome.

    And yet they have no desire to get to know Grace. 

    **************

    You know those videos where the dad is like "You may keep the cat but I will have nothing to do with it" and a few days later they are smothering the kitty with cuddles and love?

    Adrian never stood a chance.

    “He’s not here,” Coco blurts while Tetia nods along frantically behind her. “He went out ages ago and didn’t come back for dinner and we’re getting worried—“

    “It’s Qifrey,” Olruggio snorts. “He probably got distracted by a passing—“

    A clap of thunder sounds outside, illuminating the bridge with a burst of light, and Olruggio stops. His eyes flash to the window, as if he’s only just noticed the storm, and he goes very still. Then he rounds on them and demands, “How long has it been raining?”

    It's storming outside, and Qifrey hasn't come home.

    Summary

    “You are here?” Ilya practically whispers the words. This cannot be real. Shane is in Buffalo. Shane has practice in the morning and a game in two days. There is no logical way he can be in Ilya’s living room at three am.

    Shane slides his thumb soothingly over Ilya’s knee. “I’m here.”

    “How?” Ilya’s voice breaks, still not quite believing that this is real.

    “I rented a car and drove. I left as soon as we got off the phone.”

    When Ilya is badly injured on the ice, nothing will keep Shane away from him.
