  Summary

  Following the events of Iron Lung, Rocky finds Simon on the blood moon after detecting a surge of energy in a nearby solar system.
  He finds the most unconventional ways to care for this most unconventional creature, but there are many limitations to what comforts he can provide and what resources he can pull from.
  Just when Rocky feels like they are running out of time and options, they find themself with a Hail Mary, full of Grace.

  With not one of them alike the others, the three form an unlikely bond that just may save the stars, and each other.
