    In return, Rocky was getting everything he’d ever wanted.

    Rocky thinks he’s a bad friend. Grace disagrees.

    Summary

    The Hail Mary disappeared from the sky, a single fleeting speck in an ocean of dying stars. Dr. Ryland Grace leaned heavily into the control panel, a bark of laughter escaped but no one else joined in his reverie.

    OR:

    Stratt doesn’t look out towards the skies and the dimming sun. Instead, her eyes were on Grace.

    Summary

    "Rocky did not understand human names and titles when we met. Eridian names longer, give information on Eridian's home, associations, skills." For the first time in ages, he positioned two of his arms together, forming the design that Grace thought of like a family crest, a single design bisected.

    "You should teach me to read those before we get to Erid, so I can be polite." As Grace considered the linework, already picking up on some vague ideas from the shapes in Rocky's carapace, something else occurred to him. "So… I picked 'Rocky' because your outer shell looks like stone."

    "And for inspirational story of athlete who defeats human system of poverty to become great champion. Eye of the tiger."

    "Retroactively, yeah." Grace bent at the hips, getting to Rocky's 'eye' level. "So what'd you name me?"

    Summary

    “That’s mine,” Stratt says immediately when he finally catches up to her and offers up his cardigan. “Why do you have it,” she asks, kind of.

    “Uh, no. This one’s mine, you klepto.” He takes her coffees from her with one hand but doesn’t let go of the cardigan just yet. Something about how tightly she’s grasping it makes his eye twitch. He really likes this one.

    “First of all, this is a woman’s cardigan. I’ve owned it for ten years.” She yanks hard on the fabric and Grace’s elbow is forcibly extended when he doesn’t let go. “This is not yours.”

    “Nuh-uh.” He yanks back. “I got this cardigan when we flew to London last April, remember? I lost your credit card? It has these elbow patches that make me look all academic and stuff.” He twists his elbows around to try and show her.

    in other news:

    Stratt and Grace fall into the habit of sharing clothes but they justify it in a really complicated way.
