Summary
Jayce's hands hold Viktor like he is something precious. They are burdened with death by Viktors influence where once they were clean, used only to create and protect and catch him before he ever realised he was falling at all. Every version of him has made a mockery of those kind hands, but they do not fight back.
“In every timeline, in every possibility,” Jayce recites, humming to himself in what sounds like satisfaction. His thumb smoothes along Viktors cheekbone. “Don’t push me away anymore, Viktor.”
OR: I had feelings about their conclusion so I wrote an extended scene, basically.

Summary
Pierce holds one claw behind his earlobe and, after taking a moment to line the tool up correctly, gently pokes him. It takes the tool away to examine, then pokes him again, harder this time. Grace winces the slightest bit. It doesn’t hurt, but his ears are sensitive. Pierce steps back. “Look in reverse,” it says.
Grace looks around for his little mirror and grabs it, bringing it close to his face and tilting his head to get a good look. “Um… Oh.” His glasses are placed on his face before he can even ask for them. “Thank you, Rocky,” he mumbles, now paying attention to where he can finally see the little mark. It’s in the dead centre of his lobe. Once he gives his approval to Pierce, it repeats the process on the other ear, matching the marks up perfectly.
And now comes the scary part.
The clamps.
The needles.
Eridians document the first ever human body modification performed on Erid.

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.
