    Summary

    It's the easiest thing Grace has done all month. He signs his name on the underlined space, returns the clipboard to the man, and waits as the employee leaves to prepare for ‘dumb as a rock’ Pomeranian's departure.

    When he gets to the front desk to pay for the adoption fees, the young woman manning the station smiles extra-wide for him. “Thanks for adopting him. He's been on his own here for far too long. I'm glad to see him finally going to his forever home. What will you name him?”

    Grace glances down at the dog carrier he holds in his hand. After the Pomeranian's last failed adoption, they decided to keep him unnamed. Calling him by his old name kept sending the poor guy into a spiral, looking for his old human that used to call him by it.

    He thinks about it for a moment. Then, a smile comes to him unbidden as an ironic joke comes to mind. “Rocky.”

    Or: The AU where Eva Stratt lets Ryland Grace go and he proceeds to adopt a dog he names Rocky and becomes friends with a local homeless man called Simon in a desperate attempt to justify his existence after refusing to go on the Hail Mary.

    Summary

    In which two deeply damaged people try, badly, to offer each other olive branches without mistaking them for weapons--or turning it into a sex thing.

    (It's definitely a sex thing.)

    --

    (Trans!Grace repeatedly gets the rug pulled out from under him. Simon continues to require several therapists. Unfortunately, there are still no therapists on Erid.)

    Summary

    “When dead whales sink down to the sea floor, they become a whole”—Grace waves his hands in a big circle and draws out the word to emphasise his point—“ecosystem for a tonne of bottom dwelling creatures down there.

    “To them, it’s the equivalent of an oasis falling from the sky and landing in the middle of a desert. It can feed them for decades, and gosh, the microbes that can be found there. I would love to study a whale fall...if they weren't at the bottom of the ocean. Eugh.” He shudders dramatically. “If I never have to go in a submarine, I will die happy.”

    Eva wonders if the whale died happy. Or, at least, happy to know its death would bring life to so many. Surely that was a comfort when faced with the end.

    ⸻🌊🐋🌊⸻

    (or: Eva drifts along a sea of memories, in which whales swim ever underneath)
