    Summary

    ‘There appears to be a real risk,’ said Psychologist Prime, tapping a stylus against their tablet in an idle way that frayed at the edge of Adrian’s sore nerves, ‘That should Alien Human-from-Earth-of-Sol Asylum-seeker Savior-of-Erid Grace perish, then your mate Savior Rocky may experience a radical and potentially fatal decline in physiological and psychological health.’

    ‘...I see,’ said Adrian. With exceptional calmness.

    ---

    Let it not be said that Adrian was not devoted as well. They had stood firm, a loyal widower longer than others could fathom. Once you encountered a love like Rocky’s, there could be no replacement. Nothing could even compare.

    ‘Do you understand that?’ Adrian wanted to ask. So desperately, they wanted the alien’s reply. ‘Are you the only other creature in the universe who understands what it is like to be loved by someone so completely?’

    ---

    Adrian meets Grace several times, before Grace is healthy enough to meet them in return. Despite light-years of distance between their species, Adrian might have finally met the first other being who appreciates Rocky like they do; or so they hope.

    Summary

    Right as I finally forget you, right as I’m ready to move on, you come back.

    It’s been thousands of years since Rocket and Sword last saw each other.

    They’ve evolved far beyond who they used to be, and yet they’re exactly the same.

    It seems that despite its best efforts, time can’t mend all wounds.

    Summary

    "…I hate it," he whispers, hoarse, the words that have not once passed his lips. "I hate it."

    Sword knows he’s the type to struggle with words—Rocket hates being put on the spot. He hates the way his words come out sharp without meaning to and he hates how natural it is to him. So Sword know how hard he's trying when he says, carefully, "…Can I ask why?"

    Sword chokes up. Rocket doesn't know. And he might never know, if Sword can help it.

    (Because that was how they did things. Venomshank would cradle him, would shelter him, would sweep him away to a new house and a new life and a new friend and give him a gift like it never happened.

    Sword doesn't know any other way. If he can't have a mask, at least he can have this: his own, private wound—bleeding past his fingers and haunting his days.)

    -

    or, Sword has never truly talked to anyone about his scar.

    Summary

    Their pasts had only taught them pain. No comfort could be found in the physical closeness of another, and no trust could be expected in anyone but themselves. Yet even the deepest wounds can be healed with the passage of time, and the growth of personal character.

    Summary

    Psithurism (n): a rustling or whispering sound, such as leaves in the wind; susurration.

    It’s weird, really. She does not feel. She does not get flustered. Vee can be as snarky or as sarcastic as her cartoon counterpart embodies, but she is merely putting on a facade. Vee does not actually understand these emotions. She is but simply an actor. It’s difficult to explain. One of those things that really cannot be understood unless one is personally experiencing it.

    But there’s a small, tiny part of her that resembles something close to that silly emotion that is spoken, that is felt, in hushed whispers between toons, in small giggles and held hands, in the simple press of lips against another's.

    OR Vee discovers that love doesn't have to be strictly platonic or romantic.
