    Summary

    I love you, I want to say, impossibly. And I do, I do so much that it aches and it burrows and it festers right under my skin and between my diaphragm and my lungs and that spot Rocky would fit perfectly, and hey, how's that box looking, Ryland?

    The same as it's always looked, which is to say it's looking like a damn flimsy mirage. I would take Rocky under my ribs, if I could. I would press him against my spinal cord to feel the touch and signal that I've never craved in this way from another person in my entire life.

    ALTERNATE TITLE: Awake craniotomy, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and other inadvisable medical treatments that one Dr. Ryland Grace definitely doesn't have a craving for his best friend to perform on him.

    Summary

    I snort. It's plain he's just being facetious, but I call him out on his bull-puckey anyway. "Me?! You're the one who threw the first punch—er, pillow—here, buddy!"

    I try yet again to squirm out from under his grasp, but he holds firm, the hand on my bicep restraining me just that much tighter. My face feels strangely hot—must be from the heat of Rocky's body permeating through the suit. But why the heck is my heart beating so fast?

    "Because Grace become sleep dumb, obvious," Rocky dismisses. His musical trills have pitched down into a low, vibrating thrum that reverberates across every point of contact between us. I shiver at the sensation, at the way I'm pinned there, at the heavy, warm weight of Rocky's body pressed against mine. My pulse quickens further, blood rapidly rushing both to my face and down south to my—

    Oh God.

    …or:
    The one where Grace is acting Strange™️ and Rocky uses the scientific method to deduce why.

    Summary

    “Not — not understand,” Rocky continues, a little higher now, his body shuddering. “Try Vℓ times, all failure failure failure. Eridian mating sometimes fail, but not this much. This much unprecedented. Thought location, temperature, time of year problems in previous attempts — fixed all, Grace know Rocky and Adrian work to fix all, and still failure, still.”

    Grace fidgets with his hands, stretching each knuckle and palming the free edge of each nail, to keep from throwing himself onto Rocky and howling like an animal.

    (Because somewhere along the way, Rocky and Adrian's wish for kids had become Grace's own, too.)

    OR: Rocky and Adrian's eggs keep dying long before they hatch, and no one knows why. Grace — who definitely doesn't see himself as a parent to those hatchlings, how stupid and impossible would that be?! — has the normal reaction, which is inventing gene therapy from scratch to help the next egg survive.

    Summary

    On the journey to Erid, everything between them blurs. Grace can't quite comprehend his own feelings for Rocky and how they're developing. He can ignore his own desires for a while, lie to his own mind. Distract himself with the problem of how to consume taumoeba without his body rejecting it. But, then Rocky reveals his new xenonite suit and they just kind of...fall together. Is it a huge mistake?
