Summary
After the disaster of fishing at Adrian, Rocky told Grace to sleep. Who knew this simple task would turn out to be so hard to complete?
AKA a little bit of a sickfic where, instead of having a good sleep before the beetle EVA, Grace instead has a nightmare and a panic attack.

Summary
“I think little humans love you,” Rocky says. “Must. You are—”
He hesitates, thinking.
“Need word. Love very much, but not person. Love thing. Love doing. Need nothing else.”
He has a way of working his limited vocabulary into just the right order. I turn to look at him like a starving animal that’s just been offered food, crumpling under how warm it makes me feel.
“Passionate,” I say weakly. Rocky sings the Eridian word, a multi-layered crescendo of chords that each seem to pour into the next, one by one by one. “I guess I am.”
Rocky gestures with a chain link he’s picked up, getting back to work. “Everything you do, you are focused. Work work work. You teach me language. You teach me human ways. No give up until problem is solved. No rest until stupid. Passion.”
“Darn,” I say, for lack of more intelligent words. Rocky briefly looks up from his chain.
“What, question?”
“I never thought about it like that.”
/////
Or: With nothing to do besides putting together a chain one link at a time, Grace and Rocky find time to have a moment.

Summary
It’s funny, because for all the time we’ve spent together and all the personal, intimate things I know about his life, his habits, and his responses to extreme stress or imminent death, I feel like I’m missing a lot of the basics about Rocky—like if those extra arms would make him crazy good at juggling. We’ve been too wrapped up in saving our respective planets for stuff like that.
Now, though, there’s nothing but time. Years of it. Enough to make a guy lose his mind several times over if he’s not careful. If I’m interested in something, better make it last. Move over astrophage, there’s a new life-threatening game in town, and its name is boredom.

Summary
Grace never explained how he got on the ship. Rocky never explained what he did for forty-six years in space.
or
Five times Rocky thought Grace didnt need him anymore and the one time he couldn't be more wrong.
(Blend of book and movie events)
