    Summary

    “No, no! Seriously, it’s okay. I’m just not,” Ryland threw his hand up in the air, unsure of what to say. “I’m not used to people telling me I looked nice. Or humans telling me I look nice, I guess, since you’re…” He gestured to Rocky.

    Rocky made a noise of affirmation.

    “Hmm. Rocky understand.” Ryland chuckled at that.

    “Well, I’m glad that—“

    “Rocky get Grace used to compliment!”

    “Uh,” Ryland paused, not wanting another moment of awkwardness to happen. “…Sure, Rocky.”

    “Of course.”

    Summary

    Peter's been disappearing for three weeks. Not physically - he still shows up to meals, still walks the halls, still goes through the motions. But he's perfected the art of being present without being there. Long sleeves. Careful timing. Strategic appearances. A performance of okay that's starting to fray at the edges.

    The problem is, the people who love him have been paying attention.

    Pepper sits in the kitchen and refuses to look away. Steve names the pattern instead of the problem. Coulson sees through every deflection. Happy speaks when Happy never speaks. And Tony - Tony's been waiting, terrified, for Peter to let him in.

    Five conversations. Five cracks in the wall. One kid who's been hurting himself in the dark, and a family who won't let him do it alone.

    Summary

    Through the window, an impossible world.

    “Rocky remember Grace favorite Earth place. Show Adrian, Eridian make it.”

    It’s the shoreline that he dreamed about, sandy beaches and crashing waves. A wall of stone encloses the beach.

    “It’s perfect.”

    Nothing could ring more true.

    Summary

    Robert was sick. He knew that. He could tell based on the fact that he threw up twice already; he was shivering despite being wrapped in blankets; he felt freezing despite how his skin was hot and clammy, and, of course, because there was a damning number on that dumb thermometer in his hands. But no one was home. No one would be home, either, so he was sick and alone. Normally Robert was just alone. Chase wouldn’t be here until later, like, 4:30pm or something. It was 7:48am and Robert thought he was going to die.

    (or: robert’s sick. like, really sick.)

    Summary

    Ryland Grace knows his time is coming.

    Worst of all, Ryland thinks Rocky knows it, too.

    But... there might be another way for him to keep living.

    ("So," Ryland says, hands clasped on the table. “An artificial body, huh?”

    “Yes.” Rocky sounds concerned. “We went over this, Grace.”)

    ⟨⟨What—What happened, question? What was that, question??⟩⟩

    The notes were high with distress as Rocky shuddered, crouching down to make himself smaller. Oh. Oh no.

    Rocky didn't know about dreams.

    “Bl-Blazer, wait—” he calls out and struggles, chains clanging together. "Blazer, come back, I-I can—”

    “You can what, Bob Bob? Pass out and fall on your dumb face?”

    The air in Robert’s lungs leaves him all at once.

    He had expected Blonde Blazer.

    He had not expected to see six familiar criminals standing in the doorway.

    Summary

    “What made you come up with this?” Grace asks. His voice is thick.

    “Grace need comfort,” Rocky says matter-of-factly. “Like a hug. This comfort Grace, question?”

    Grace presses his hand more firmly against the top of Rocky’s carapace, and Rocky shifts a bit within the xenonite, rising so that they make nearly direct contact through the panel. It’s not like they haven’t done something like this before—Rocky is always pressing his claws up against Grace’s palm—but it’s different for Grace’s whole hand to be so close, to feel the heat of a living thing against his side and against his palm all at once.

    “Yeah,” Grace breathes.

    On the trip to Erid, Grace is starving.

    Summary

    Rocky knows that Grace is considered an adult for his species, but his hindbrain goes crazy when he finds out he’s in his 30s. So that’s why he’s been feeling weirder than normal. His alpha instincts think Grace is a pebble.

    Summary

    He catches a glimpse of himself in the small mirror across the room.

    It’s as if he’s been frozen in time. Nothing about him has changed since he last touched the surface of his home planet.

    But of course, that’s not true. Everything has changed.

    He doesn’t understand. He doesn’t know what this means. He’s a man of science. There are rules, immutable laws of the universe, no matter where in the universe one is. Entropy, decay, deterioration. Everything in the universe experiences it.

    Everything except him, it seems.

     

    Or: While on Erid, Ryland Grace makes a startling realization: he seems to have stopped aging.

    Summary

    “No!” He protests, too loud for the soft moment and making his brother freeze in where he was about to abandon him to the sheets, “Please-” he begs, eyes burning but no tears to be shed as his voice drops back down into a hoarse whisper, “Let me have this… please?”

    “Tommy-”

    “I just-” he shudders around his own words, “Just this once? Before you go?”

    Techno chuffs softly, “I’m not leaving, Runt,” he assures, even though he doesn’t know it's a lie, “I’m not leaving, okay?”

    “You will...” Tommy’s eyes flutter shut again, exhaustion dragging him down as he longs to whisper more, “You will… You all do… you all will…”

     

    (Where Tommy dies in prison and ends up in the past with all the trauma to fuck it up again... and his scars keep appearing? What the hell?)

    Summary

    “Rocky saw.”

    His mind races. The what, the ship cams? Did they record Stratt’s men dumping him comatose and still and scared in the ship, did they talk about what they’d done to him? No, that would make sense. Besides, the Hail Mary was in orbit around Erid, not impossible to get to, but not worth it for a nose around. Or – maybe he’d said something in his sleep, and Rocky was only just talking to him about it. That also makes no sense. Or maybe –

    “You… saw.”

    “Eridians see dream-memories sometimes.”

    “That literally makes no sense,” blurts Ryland, and Rocky stamps his feet. The way he’d done back on the ship when something was painfully obvious and Ryland failed to get it. “Sorry. You’re gonna have to explain.”

    “Eridians are linked to all Eridians. Erid is like – word need word – database. Database for all Eridians thought memories events. When Eridians sleep, they see other Eridian memories. Didn’t happen on ship because no tie to Erid. Didn’t happen on Mary because no tie to Erid. Rocky saw Grace's memories.”

    ***

    Or: Rocky finds out Grace was forced onto the Hail Mary without his consent, but not really in the way you'd expect.

    Summary

    It's not jealousy. Adrian is adamant about that. They are actually insisting that it’s not any emotion at all. Not even dislike. They are simply completely uninterested in anything that concerns “the human”. 

    Rocky believes them. Adrian has always been the level-headed one out of the two of them. They are too logical to be jealous. They acknowledge that Grace and Rocky have a special bond after everything they went through together and also understand that none of that will ever pose a threat to their relationship. 

    Neither are they heartless or ungrateful. They know that Grace is the only reason that Rocky is back at all, the only reason their star has stopped dying. Adrian has told Rocky again and again that they are grateful and happy and wish the alien no ill will. They even helped with the construction of the biodome.

    And yet they have no desire to get to know Grace. 

    **************

    You know those videos where the dad is like "You may keep the cat but I will have nothing to do with it" and a few days later they are smothering the kitty with cuddles and love?

    Adrian never stood a chance.
