Summary
It’s like this:
In times of crisis, Beau can do the thing. Draw herself together, pulls up the right words, negotiate. And it's fine. It works. Always does, in the moment.
It's after that's the problem.

Martin reacts in typical Martin fashion - with tea, worry, and absolutely nothing else, thank you very much.

the thing about gardens by fadewords for autistic_beshelar

Summary
The thing about gardens, Caduceus thinks as he kneels in the grass before a pink flower, fingers dug in the soil around it, breaking it apart gently.
The thing, he thinks, digging deeper, reaching beyond the roots, scooping around them.
The thing is that they grow.

Summary
Abruptly, Sasha stops. Sighs. “Tim,” she says, sounding—annoyed?
Martin tenses, wonders what Tim’s done now. He’s never heard Sasha properly irritated, not really. Fond complaints are about the extent of it. This is new, concerning. (Whatever Tim’s done, Martin needs to know so he can be sure he doesn’t do it himself.)
“Yeah?”
“How do you spell disorientated?” -

Lorentz Transformations by Captain Grayson (Ada_Parker)

Summary
Lots of people refer to themselves mononymously by their last names. It wasn’t weird for Grace to do the same.
Except he keeps doing it. Even in his own thoughts. Calling himself just Grace. He’s doing it right now. He drifts back into that first post-coma hour, crawling around the ship in search of any sense of purpose and sanity, nameless and directionless and terrified. Finding the control room and asking Mary for the rest of the crew.
Dr. Ryland Grace. End of manifest.
So he’s known, intellectually, what his first name is just as long as his last name. But for some reason, he just isn’t…using it. But why the heck not? Well, psychology was never his strong suit, but data gathering is data gathering. Time to do some very mushy science.
6 times Grace rediscovered understandings of themself + 1 time Rocky understood them completely.

Summary
In which Dr. Ryland Grace, experienced middle school teacher, recognizes that he's being treated like a child. He attempts to correct it before Rocky wakes up after an injury on the way to Erid.
Bad luck, malnutrition, and general malaise make this difficult.
(Five times Dr. Ryland Grace attempts to convince Erid that he's a grown man, and the one time Rocky's successful.)

Summary
"You appear to be experiencing a migraine."
Great. Hypothesis proven. Still sucks.
“Probable cause is recently-diagnosed concussion,” Mary continues. “The relative length of your recovery window may be indicative of post-concussion syndrome.”
Huh.
...
Grace (and Rocky) discover the consequences of head injuries.
