Summary
Edwin comes to the Cat King with one request: that Thomas helps him figure out his sexuality. Thomas is absolutely down, even when Edwin has another question. Can Thomas shapeshift into Charles?
And of course he can. Anything for Edwin.

Summary
There is a man with very long hair in Mary’s studio.
She sees him before he sees her, which is almost a surprise, because he looks like the reason he’s here is because he knows Stede. So he’s a pirate. He’s looking at the painting she’s working on now: a lighthouse, again. This time, however, the ship is staying away. It’s a symbiotic relationship.
“You’re the Widow Bonnet, then.” the pirate says, before she announces herself.
Mary paints the man who comes to her studio asking about Stede, and tells him all about her late husband.

Summary
Rocky and Grace have been alone for so long, that it was only natural that they became (perhaps unhealthily) attached to the only other person they could interact with for several years. Separating them, even for very necessary reasons, isn't fun for either of them.
When Rocky gifts Grace a stuffed animal to ease the loneliness, Grace quickly becomes almost just as attached. Rocky, on the other hand, starts to wish that Grace would (and could) hold him like that.-----
This is kind of a companion fic to my other PHM fic Alienation & Recovery, and is mostly compliant with it, but you don't need to read that to understand this one :]- Language:

Summary
While working on solving the issue of Grace slowly dying of starvation, malnutrition, and a host of other issues, the Eridians discover the human internet (largely Wikipedia) and fall down a rabbit hole of trying to figure out everything they can about the needs of their squishy alien savior. While most of their focus is on the food issue, another link catches their (metaphorical) eyes.
"Touch starvation, also known as touch deprivation or skin hunger, is the physiological need by humans and other species for physical contact with their own species or other living beings."
No one is happy about this.
