    Summary

    "Rocky imagined himself sculpting that pliant physique into new, artistic forms. Imagined Grace so supple and yielding that he could be tied up tight with his own stretchy limbs. Tied to his own carapace, where he would be safe."

    Grace does yoga in his temporary medical-monitoring dome on Erid. Rocky is... intrigued. Things get steamy, then PTSD-y.

    Summary

    As he stared down into the lumpy grey goop that was his evening rations, he contemplated whether it was really worth it.

    They’d come a very long way just for Grace to give up and die at the last hurdle, both physically and emotionally. The Tau Ceti system was a long, long way away now, and Grace had faced not one but two highly emotional suicide missions. Three, if you counted the time before he was given a military grade roofie and hucked into space without his memories.

     

    Rocky and Grace make it back to Erid! Huzzah!
    Now they have to navigate all of... that.

    Summary

    You are profoundly alone. You have been for a while. Suddenly, you aren't anymore, and you are struggling to be normal about it. Pooling strengths and weaknesses with the strange creature on its explosive-atmosphere ship might just be the only way to save both of your stars, but it might also lead to more than just strictly scientific discoveries, and neither of you are sure how to feel about that.


    OR: The universe's most unlikely meet-cute.

    Summary

    “Don’t have to face any specific direction to talk to you, Grace,” Rocky says. “Am radially symmetrical. Hearing organs on whole body. Grace biologist, should know this.”

    I suddenly regret teaching him literally anything about biology. Some things more than others.

    “Figure of speech,” I say. That’s so not the point. “Listen, is this about the other day? Because we can pretend it never happened, if it’s making you uncomfortable.”

    Rocky skids to a stop. He slowly backs up a few paces, and now I can tell he is actually focusing on me, even though it doesn’t really matter which facet of his body is pointed in my direction, due to the aforementioned radial symmetry.

    “Not uncomfortable,” Rocky says. “Interesting display of human culture and biology. Grace very kind to share with me."
