    Summary

    Jackson comes to in the passenger seat of his own car, parked in the driveway of the March house, Holland at the wheel and bitching at him. "Just my fucking luck the universe saddles me with two of you. Emma reacted the exact same way when she found out I was pregnant with Holly. I'm telling you the exact same way except she hit her head on the way down and when she woke up she forgot what the doctor said so I had to break the news to her again and guess what she did next! Guess!"

    "Based on her previous behaviors and my own current experiences," Jackson says, groggy and out of sorts, "I’m assuming she passed out again."

    "Bingo!" March points a finger gun at him and winks as he shuts off the engine and hops out of Jack's car. He leans through the open window to ask, "You remember what the doctor said, right? I don't have to repeat anything."

    "No, I think I'm all caught up on the situation."

    so holland's gotten himself knocked up with jackson's baby and it's all pretty complicated except in all the ways it's all pretty simple

    Summary

    To Grace's knowledge (i.e. the Hail Mary's database, i.e. all of human knowledge), there have never been any studies done to confirm whether ambrein (a derivative of sperm whale digestive secretions!) actually functions as an aphrodisiac in humans or not.

    Well, 15.8 light years from Earth, he's about to find out. Because the cytoplasm of Taumoeba consists in large parts of a triterpene alcohol that is startlingly similar to ambrein — and baby, he's all out of coma slurry.

    Or: The sex pollen amoeba fic you (never) asked for.


    Rocky utters a wordless little trill, half concerned and half curious. Always curious, and why would this be an exception? If anything, this is me conducting a pilot study on the unusual effects of Taumoeba on the human body, and oh is he ever morbidly fascinated by the many things my gross, leaky body does.

    Summary

    She never used to have features, before. Never used to have any particular hair color, or any particular shape of her eyes. No particular scent. She was always just a blank slate, something to project his buried, shameful desires onto and then to discard. She was never real, not even in the privacy of his thoughts.
    More and more often as of late, her hair is blonde.

    In which driver thinks of Irene as he fucks himself

    Summary

    For three hours, he’s at the beach, takes off his socks and hikes Ilyukhina’s dress up, and stands in the water. He left the cane on the shore; it hurts to let his frame bear the brunt of gravity unsupported. The reliable tide, just cool enough to chill him a little, laps at his shins.

    He closes his eyes and tries to forget about himself, the familiar ache in his joints and spine. Allows himself to imagine something else.

    A different truth, a hypothetical, a thought exercise.


    Rocky can't bear to lose Grace. But he can bear to watch Grace wither away from a sickness easily cured by Earth medicine even less.

    Grace has to make another choice.

    Or: After thirteen years on Erid, Grace leaves his true home for Earth. Eva Stratt lives to see him return. Earth takes note of the changes.

    Summary

    Grace is put on cleaning duty and gets a mysterious fourth bag of vodka for his troubles.

    Rocky begrudgingly takes on the role of Designated Driver slash Space Blob Supervisor, and receives a different kind of gift in return.


    “Grace. What are you doing?”

    Grace's mouth, still smushed against my xenonite, curves upward: Contentment, happiness, satisfaction. Interesting, that it should be prone to smiling when made stupid by ethanol, but not so much when it gets stupid because of a lack of sleep.

    “‘s called a kiss, buddy. I‘m givin’ you. A kiss. ‘cause you're my best friend annnnd I like you. And y’nno what, you're actually pretty nice. When you’re not goin’ outta your way to be mean to me, that is.”
