    Summary

    “This piece goes where now?”
    Rocky stomps his feet and then points towards the upper corner of his wall. I’ve learned enough Eridian body language now to know he’s annoyed. He’d be rolling his eyes if he had any.

    Or, when accommodating his new roommate, Dr. Grace learns how to see Rocky’s vision.

    Summary

    “Hey, bud,” I say softly. “I’m here, okay? I just want to help you.”

    Rocky’s vents rattle like a sigh. “I know.”

    “So what is it that you’re so upset to leave behind?”

    There’s another long, silent moment, stretching until I start to worry that I’ve finally done it: found the first-ever cultural or personal barrier between us that we can’t cross together. I’m long past the point of being able to pretend that Rocky doesn’t mean the world to me – more than the world, actually, literally. I don’t need to have all my memories back to know that the moment we were reunited after I turned back for him was the happiest I’ve ever been. So I just can’t stand the thought that he’s hurting in some part of himself I can’t reach. 

    Then Rocky says, “Am upset to leave bodies of crew,” and my heart stops.

    –––

    Or: Grace and Rocky stumble together through an interplanetary anthropological exploration of funerals, grief, and meaning, trying to find a way to say goodbye to Rocky's crew.

    Summary

    "What's on your mind, Stede?"

    "It's just… well, it's rather hard to believe, isn't it?" Stede says.

    "What, that Thomas and Maria are snogging already after he left her behind? It's a romance novel, Stede. It's not supposed to be realistic. You've gotta suspend your disbelief a bit, man."

    "No, it's not that. It's just… Kissing. All of the romance novels make it out to be this huge, world-changing, earth-shattering experience. And it's just a bit silly, is all."

    Ed swallows. "I dunno. It can feel really nice, y'know. With the right person."

    Or, Stede confesses that he's never really seen the appeal of kissing before. What is a good co-captain to do but offer his own lips for the taking?

    Summary

    Rocky darted out of the way. The door shut with a decisive whirr-click.
    The endless glug-thud-squelch of Ryland Grace's body seemed very loud in the small room. He made a noise that sounded like, "Huh?"
    "Grace and Adrian talk now," Rocky commanded. They pointed one arm at them. "Talk until both normal."
    "What?" Adrian said, baffled.
    Rocky clattered several claws against the ground, a discord of pique. "You are both annoying! Always polite, polite, polite. Bland. Empty."

    In which Adrian and Grace haven't really been getting along, and Rocky takes matters into his own claws.
