    Summary

    Raph has a spotty memory. Only big events tend to really stick with him, and they get fewer and farther between the longer you go back. But he still remembers some things from his early childhood clearly. Like his first savage episode, or when they all got their first skateboards.

    Or his first allergic reaction.

     

    (aka: I, the author, declare that there are not enough fics featuring Rise!Raph’s peanut allergy, and have taken it upon myself to fill that void.)

    Summary

    or: Five times Grace made Rocky cry (and one time he made him laugh)

    ***

    Still, Rocky was confused about the strange phenomenon that had occurred with Grace’s face - and it wasn’t as if Grace’s body was not already confusing on a regular basis.

    «Oh, you mean, when I kraɪd?» Grace answered a bit sheepishly, making a weird sound with his nose.

    «Need word» said Rocky, wondering how many more things he had to discover about wet, squishy, unpredictable human bodies.

    ***

    (slapping Rocky on the back) this little guy can hold so much repressed trauma! And there's no better way to show it than to give a genderless alien species its own version of toxic masculinity, am I right? Or: Grace keeps making Rocky cry, and it would be okay (sort of) if Eridian culture wasn't so weird about it.

    Summary

    I don't feel right.
    I haven't for a few months now. I don't know why. Or what it is. Or what is causing it. But something just feels wrong.
    The wrongness has been here since we arrived on Erid. This is the first time in months that I have had a moment of peace with Grace, alone, and of course now is when my stupid brain asks the stupid question of what the wrongness is.
    And it why has it been getting progressively worse.
    Before it was just subtle. Now, walking on the wonderfully crafted beach with Grace, it is becoming more and more obvious that something is seriously wrong with me.
    --
    Humans have plenty of research on what happens when they return from space. Erid has none, and their first one to return has been in space for over half a century. Time to find out what happens to Eridians the hard way.

    Summary

    Rocky knew Grace would never understand Rocky’s pain, but he’d accepted it long ago. Sure, Grace had the pain of a life he could no longer remember, but Rocky had something much worse

    He could remember it perfectly.
