    Summary

    Near the end of the trip to Erid, Rocky realizes he has a life-threatening Problem with a capital "P."

    Grace has an idea and offers a solution.

    (Or, Rocky and Grace are both low-key disasters but high-key ride or die for each other, as in canon. This one-shot just happens to take it even more literally than normal.)

    Summary

    They’re six days out of landing at Erid. The situation is tough - they’re running out of rations, out of xenonite, out of time - but they’ve pulled through this far. Grace just needs to work out how to dock at the orbital elevator, and they’re dandy-

    Except suddenly, Rocky doesn’t want to go home.

    Summary

    “Genital organ swelling…is because of sleep hallucination, question?” Rocky says, sounding baffled.

    “Pretty much. Human bodies are weird.”

    “Weird weird weird,” Rocky mutters, rolling back out of my arms. “Glad Grace okay.”

    I nod, not feeling okay in the slightest. “Totally okay. I mean, how could I not be? I’ve got a spaceship, all the Taumoeba I can eat, and you. What else could I need?”

    Last night's dream isn’t fading like my dreams usually do after I wake up. I’m not sure I even want it to. I can’t stop hearing the sounds my brain imagined Rocky would make as I sank my fingers knuckle-deep inside of him, as he praised me for making him feel so good–

    Summary

    How do you explain sexual arousal to a guy whose species doesn't experience it? Whatever the case, Ryland Grace is definitely not the right person for the job.

    Unfortunately, a hands-on demonstration might be in order.

    Summary

    The engineer takes my hand. His skin runs hot. Very hot. He doesn't let go at what I would gauge as a socially-acceptable handshake time interval. Are we just holding hands in the middle of the lab-workshop space? Guess we are.

    "I'm Rocky," he finally introduces himself. He has a hint of an accent, something lilting, melodic. I can't really place it.

    "Rocky," I repeat, slowly. "Like the movies?"

    "No," Rocky deadpans, giving me a look like I'm stupid. "Like the rocks."

    Summary

    I flex my gloved fingers.

    “Just how much power are you giving me, exactly?”

    “All of it. Everything.”

    “Wow, that's. Wow. Are you sure?”

    Rocky makes a keening, high pitched vocalisation that I can feel in my chest.

    “I love you. It's the entire point.”

    I bury my blazing face in my hands.

    “Rocky, you can't just say things like that.”

    “I can and I will. Where does the medical robot keep the lubricant?”

    Summary

    The texture of my entire tablet shifts as the video plays.

    It is a recording of the very room we are in. The angle shows the room from above, looking over the beds. In each bed, I can make out the general shape of a human covered by something. Three in total.

    I wait for something to happen. Why is there a recording of the crew in their comas?

    Summary

    "Please proceed to the treatment area," Mary repeats.

    "My ankle is broken! I can't walk!" I shout.

    "Please proceed to the treatment area."

    "Bring the treatment area over here!"

    She's silent for a second longer than usual. It fills me with a brief, fleeting hope. "Please proceed to the treatment area."

    "Screw you, Mary."

    Summary

    Sleeping is so much easier with Rocky around. Well… maybe not necessarily easier, but… better?

    Before I met Rocky, I mostly just felt too awful all the time to get much rest. And after we parted ways, the nightmares that had been taunting me on and off started coming with a vengeance. The nightmares aren't gone now, of course. But it's better.

    Summary

    Rocky asks about mates on a Tuesday again. Grace, for the first time, tries to answer honestly.

    "Weren't there things worth staying on Earth for? Wasn't it enough to love the world just for the sake of it?"

    It turns out the word for what he is was always there. It just arrived sideways, the way the important things tend to do.

    Summary

    Ouchhh.” I moan, still holding my belly, “Whyyyy?”

    The familiar clunky sound of Rocky’s footsteps in his xenonite suit grow steadily nearer as he scuttles over. I must’ve alerted him with my griping and groaning. So much for not being a bother. 

    He stops near the foot of my bed. 

    “Rocky heard Grace make noise.” 

    Sorry about that,” I say, voice muffled.

    “No apology, Grace.” He scolds, “Am worried, not bothered. What is wrong, question?”

    My tummy hurts.” I say matter-of-factly into my pillow, “And I’m being a big baby about it.

    ///

    Grace hasn’t had someone to take care of him when he’s sick in a long, long while. Having forgotten that he’s lactose intolerant, he’s now battling an upset stomach, which Rocky is determined to soothe. Grace finds that Rocky’s help may be exactly what he needed.

    Summary

    “What are you talking about?” Grace's fingers played quick chords as he spoke. He didn’t even look as he did it, but it did not make them any less purposeful.

    “Discussing possible reasons why Tau Ceti is not infected while other stars are,” Eva replied deftly. “I would invite you to join, but we were just finishing—”

    “Oh, that’s easy.” His hand twisted a knob, and the notes came out sharper. “It is infected—Petrova Line and everything.”

    In Grace's opinion, dreaming about time traveling is no excuse for getting out of practice with his Eridian. To the rest of the Petrova Taskforce, it seems a bit odd that their resident Astrophage expert has suddenly taken to carrying a keyboard around and playing it whenever he speaks. Eva Stratt resolves to figure out what is going on.

    Summary

    “How does it feel… to love Adrian?”

    Rocky, seemingly caught off guard, angles his carapace up towards me. He chirps in surprise. “Why ask, question?”

    “Just answer,” I say, looking away from him. I can’t help but flush with embarrassment asking the question. It sounds stupid and cheesy coming out of my mouth but I have to know: is love truly constant throughout the universe? Is their love the same as ours? What does love mean for Eridians?

    After the conversation about relativity, Grace and Rocky talk about love while making chain.

    OR

    Making movie Rocky and Grace endure book Rocky and Grace’s chain-making-and-spooling endeavours. (With an aroace coming-to-jesus moment thrown in there)

    Summary

    I lived with this hunger long before the Hail Mary. This is nothing new. I’m fine.

    Right up until Rocky asks another question.

    “When last time you touch other human person skin, question?”

    Oh. Oh no. “When I… a few days after I first woke up here.”

    Rocky starts to relax for a split second, but then tightens when something occurs to him.

    “Grace crewmates dead when you wake up. You said this, statement. You not even know your own name, remember nothing, see dead bodies, confirm?”

    I nod, because if I open my mouth I will gag.

    “When last time Grace touch ALIVE human person, question.”

    I swallow thickly. I don’t answer aloud because I know Rocky can hear the hitch in my breath. My stomach churns with fresh bile. He senses my vital signs tick over into stress patterns and goes very, very still again.

    “Grace. When last time, question.”

    I clench my jaw so hard my temples ache, and beg him with my eyes to just stop.

    “Grace. Please say not when… when Evil Stratt humans put you to sleep.”

    I can taste grass.

    AKA: Grace starves for more than just food on the journey to Erid.

    Rocky cannot be astronomical object. Rocky can only be Eridian.

    "Grace sad, not good. I fix."

    "… Um. How?" I ask. "Oh, God, please don't make me a human-shaped robot to hug. That would be so creepy."
