    Summary

    Now that another human was on Erid, Grace can't stand anymore the idea of never feeling a human touch again. Too bad the new human seems like he hates him.

    Or in another words.

    Grace has Yao's gun, and he thinks that in the afterlife he may be able to be held again.

    Summary

    “I called it the Good Luck quilt,” Grace says. “It’s all symbols of luck from across the world, it was a parting gift before the mission - but let’s not get into all that. It’s silly but it’s comforted me through some pretty hard times. I thought…I don’t know. I’m probably just being sentimental.”

    Simon grasps the edge of the quilt that he can reach, if only to make sure it’s real. It’s beautiful. There’s not a lot of color left in the world, and colorful, soft fabric of this quality is worth a fortune. The patterns are joyful, almost childish. For some reason that Simon can’t quite articulate through the sickness and exhaustion, it makes him suddenly very certain that this isn’t the COI.

    In Simon’s old universe, fabric, thread, and yarn are all precious commodities. He's had to learn to mend clothes and knit socks out of practicality. On Erid, it's a way to pay back what he owes, to make friends, and eventually, to heal.
    A love letter fiber crafts and the people who do them, an exploration of physical disability, and of course, a very soft love story.

    Summary

    Ryland looked down at his clipboard, where he had written a reasonable script, supplied earlier that day by Adrian. Unfortunately, the moment his eyes landed on the words, his brain supplied only terrible ways to say them.

    He chose the worst one.

    “I need flowers with prominent reproductive structures.”

    The man went completely still.

    Ryland could feel his soul attempting to leave his body.

    “For a plant anatomy lab,” he added quickly. “For my students. Middle school students. Not–” He cut himself off, because there was simply no end to that sentence that would improve his situation. Instead, he just weakly smiled, and added “Science.”

    -:-:-

    Ryland Grace is brilliant with biology, awkward with adults, and far too invested in giving his students the lessons they deserve. Simon Fleischer is a guarded florist who trusts plants more than people and has no interest in being needed by anyone again. But when a forgotten school lab brings Ryland into Root & Thorn, their lives begin to tangle in quiet, unexpected ways – through flowers, roots, and the terrifying possibility of being cared for properly.

    Summary

    'But against all his better judgement, Grace could not resist the urge to look over his shoulder and what he saw stopped his rabbit heart and he stumbled and it slowed his pace down just enough.

    Simon.

    Simon was chasing him.'

    (Lieutenant Simon Fischer is assigned by Eva Stratt to be the head of Grace's security team. As the project progresses and Launch Day grows nearer, they begin to fall for each other, but the Sun keeps dimming all the same.)

    Summary

    Scenting.
    It's the act in which someone leaves their smell/pheromones on something or someone to show people they own or have a relation to a person or thing.
    Scenting is a language in of itself, one that Grace has a hard time following with earth social standards. But he's not on earth anymore and over time he learns to care less and less about standards and embrace his little odd scenting habits, or well, the intense smell of his scenting.

    OR;
    Grace scents Rocky, Adrian and Simon one by one in that order and slowly stops getting Embarrassed and panicked over scenting others.
