    Summary

    “Oh, it’s a way for humans to tell each other they’re taken. To remember,” I say, popping a bunch more gummy bears into my mouth. Rocky makes a disgusted sound and I smile as I chew. “It’s just a nice way of showing they have someone they committed to.”

    Rocky freezes. I don’t notice for a good few seconds, not until I get the pressing sensation that he’s staring at me, his lack of eyes irrelevant.

    I turn to face him. He’s jittering, something like shaking from excitement or anger, I’m not sure.

    “Rocky?” I ask.

    “Grace have ring,” he points, and oh no. “Grace have mate? Why Grace no say!?”

    I hold up my hands before he can get too excited, though I can already hear a familiar sound, a repeating joyful and confused song start to escape from him.

    “No, no, no!” he freezes again. Deflates, a little. I sigh and run a hand down my face. “It’s… complicated.”

    Summary

    A knock at the door pierced through her thoughts.

    It was him. It would only ever be him at this hour. And why is it that she knew that? She ignored the thrum of anticipation in her chest.

    “Grace, come in.”

    Summary

    The crew of Stratt's Vat and the Petrova Taskforce in general are almost entirely under the assumption that its two most high-ranked members are 'engaged in sexual activity,' as some of them would put it. They are all wrong.
    The truth is that the two of them are friends, and nothing else. Ryland is also a walking aroace stereotype... except he doesn't know what it even means to be aroace. Will someone eventually tell him? Maybe.
    Sorry about the title. I'm not great at them.

    Summary

    Tommy uncrosses his legs. “You were ignoring me- I felt justified.”

    “I was ignoring your character,” Wilbur corrects. “I was being a good fake brother. I was being a good actor.”

    Tommy falters a little. Fake. Fake brother. Good actor. He swallows. “Uh- yeah. Yeah.”

    or, SBI are actors on a sitcom, and of course, they play a happy family- unfortunately for Tommy, the lines between fact and fiction are easily blurred and hard to define.
