    Summary

    “I can help.”

    “You?” Robby asked, visibly startled.

    “Yeah,” Jack nodded, immediately committed to what was, at first, an impulsive thought. “Look, you said Janey had you do straightforward tasks. I can help you with that. It doesn’t have to be a thing.” Jack waved his hand between them, trying to quickly brush past some of the other ways Janey had helped Robby get out of his head.

    *
    Jack offers to help Robby with an assignment from his therapist, but what seemed like a simple plan gets complicated when Jack struggles to ignore his feelings for Robby.

    Summary

    This is the Accidental Warlord and His Pack series, reorganized in an order that makes a little more sense. It's not precisely chronological, since some of the backstories are set well before With a Conquering Air, but it should flow nicely.

    Summary

    The Eridian thrills a high sound that doesn’t get picked up by the translator which means that it has no clear meaning. Like when a human gasps or sucks in a deep breath. It actually sounds a little like that. When they notice that I’m staring straight at them they scramble back into their hiding spot and hold very still. 

    A child, I realize with a start.

    That’s a child! 

    “Hey,” I call and the kid squeaks again. I was about to get to my feet but abort the movement and crawl closer on my hands and knees until I'm inches away from the xenonite wall. I wait and it takes me much too long to realize that they don’t have to peek around the corner to see if I’m still there.

    “Hey there,” I try again, my voice low and calm. It’s my teacher voice, the one I use for shy and scared students. 

    Used. 

    The fact that I haven’t had to use it for years and it still comes to me automatically almost knocks the air out of my lungs but this is not about me, it’s about making sure the little pebble doesn’t die of fright from the scary alien. “Hi, I’m Grace. It’s alright, you don’t have to be scared.”

    ***
    How Grace finally gets back into a classroom, where he belongs

    It's not an easy choice.

    I wish it was. It's stupid, because it would be a lot more poetic that way.

    Summary

    It's been a full year of living in close quarters on the Hail Mary. Grace was bound to mess up eventually.

    If Grace was still on Earth, he would have plenty of options for places to go. A quiet park, maybe a movie theater, a walk on the beach. Something like that. As it is, stuck on the Hail Mary, he just doesn’t have that many options of places to go after a fight with his roommate.

    Summary

    Delusional, this entire thing. Like some Make-A-Wish dream. I'm going to kill myself tomorrow; here's what I'd like for my last day on this mortal plane. To be fucked by a man who hasn't seen him that way in years. To stand in the shower and have someone wash his hair. To eat one last breakfast. To be held. And Jack, pitying him, still, because Robby's always been the one of the two of them who can't handle shit.

    Summary

    One thing that Rocky has learned about humans is that they like to look at pictures.

    Maybe. Or maybe it is just a particular habit of his Grace, who seems to pass more and more time sitting in the projection room and looking at his rolling images of Earth.

    Rocky likes Earth. Especially the beach. That’s Grace’s favorite place, too.

    But the pictures don’t change. Not more than they did the first time Grace showed him, with the waves crashing up onto the sand and the leaves of the trees rustling in the wind.

    ~~~

    Rocky's perspective of Grace's depression on the journey to Erid.

    Summary

    One Grace-sleep is not so long.

    It is not “night,” but Grace calls it night, and so Rocky does too. One human night. One third of one human day. One three-hundred-thousandth of Rocky’s life so far.

    This is what Rocky tells himself. He folds up on his xenonite shelf above Grace’s sleeping area, and he listens, and he fiddles with his clock, and he tells himself that it is not so long.

    ~~~

    Rocky has lived through the deaths of many of his friends. He does not want to lose Grace.

    Summary

    “You really think, after all we’ve seen together—hell, after all I’ve seen, you’ve got something crazy enough in your head that it’d scare me off?”

    “Yes,” Robby answered, so earnest and true that it broke Jack’s heart a little.

    Summary

    Robby's temper gets the best of him during handoff, and Jack ends up taking shrapnel from a fight that wasn't his. He didn't mean to snap. He didn't mean to humiliate Jack. But he did and the second the words leave his mouth, Robby knows he crossed a line.

    The apology at home is hesitant, rough around the edges, and completely genuine. And Jack, still hurt, still furious, gives him a chance to make it right... in the ways only they know how.

    Summary

    Jack just laughed and shoved him a little harder into the door, a visceral, physical reminder: he was in control now. He expected Robby to bitch him out, sharp like he got when cornered—

    Except instead Robby slumped, his breath out almost relief, like all the fight had drained from him. He didn't say anything, just took a few shaky breaths, body shivering under Jack's—

    ...oh.
