    Summary

    He’s actively stepping around Rocky, stepping over him, and heading towards the other end of the lab, cabinets and rows of samples. He could find something else here to look at, check up on the Taumoeba farms…

    Except, he doesn’t even make it to the threshold to cross the hallway of the ship. His feet stop. A complete, precise standstill.

    Rocky had chittered at him, a short burst of notes, monosyllabic in Eridian despite the layers of chords. He registered it not as any word, yet the command still struck.

    Stay.

    Heeled. Like a dog.

    And it wasn’t by any doing of Grace’s own decision making.

    “Rocky,” I say sharply. The irritation feels unpleasant inside me, foreign like a toxin.

    Just incredible. This is the first story to make me feel something about Grace and Adrian. We are partners in loving Rocky?? Hello? It’s so beautiful. The anguish, the emotions, the mutual melancholy between them. And reading about Adrian’s longing reminiscing of their life with Rocky before everything; how they used to be. The marriage melody bit made me very emotional. It’s just so interesting to imagine Rocky before he knew unending isolation in space. He’s really been through so much. It makes so much sense that he’s showing signs of post traumatic stress because he’s had so many traumatic experiences and he doesn’t know how to handle the emotional deluge of it without the man who was there with him through it. They are going to be a happy family.

    Summary

    “Proof of concept,” ♫♬♯♩♩♫ says. “We’ve tested it thoroughly to ensure it fits the specified nutritional profile, and several members of our team have ingested small amounts of it to ensure there were no adverse effects.”

    “You ate some of it?” I ask, rudely. I’m too irate to mind my language. Who do they think they are? That meat is for Grace. In a way, that meat is Grace.

    “Yes,” ♫♬♯♩♩♫ says. They and the rest of the human life support thrum know better than to be offended by my occasionally strange behaviour. “Obviously we weren’t going to risk the life of Honoured Grace on a completely untested technology.”

    That doesn’t mean much. There’s a lot of things that are safe for ingestion by Eridians that would outright kill a human.

    Trust Grace, I remind myself. He’ll have thought of all this.

    (OR: Grace's meburgers from the book epilogue. Let's talk about those!)

    Summary

    Grace is put on cleaning duty and gets a mysterious fourth bag of vodka for his troubles.

    Rocky begrudgingly takes on the role of Designated Driver slash Space Blob Supervisor, and receives a different kind of gift in return.


    “Grace. What are you doing?”

    Grace's mouth, still smushed against my xenonite, curves upward: Contentment, happiness, satisfaction. Interesting, that it should be prone to smiling when made stupid by ethanol, but not so much when it gets stupid because of a lack of sleep.

    “‘s called a kiss, buddy. I‘m givin’ you. A kiss. ‘cause you're my best friend annnnd I like you. And y’nno what, you're actually pretty nice. When you’re not goin’ outta your way to be mean to me, that is.”

    Just fantastic. There’s something infinitely amusing and charming about Rocky’s POV of Grace. The way author portrays their relationship here is quite dear to me. They are equals. I think that’s why this ship amuses me so much. They’re kinda two sides of the same coin, just in different bodies. It’s so beautiful to see how they interact and view each other even though they are kindred souls. Rocky’s disgust of Grace betraying how deeply he loves him is wonderful. This is right on that line where it’s still plausible deniability but not really. Like it’s totally Something Else but you can still be like they’re just really good pals….. LUV.
