    Summary

    "Grace’s first observation was that Rocky was warm. It was probably the sole thing his stupid hindbrain had latched onto. Warm meant fire. Fire meant food. So really, why wouldn’t it? There were other things— infinitely more important things— to notice. Like how, for instance, Rocky wasn’t putting his entire weight onto Grace. Any force he applied was carefully measured and calculated to make sure that Grace didn’t get crushed by the weight.

    But, most importantly, Rocky was warm, especially under a fully luminous sun."

    [OR]

    Grace's touch-starved subconscious conjures up a dream about hugging Rocky. Rocky sees what unfiltered sobbing looks like for the first time. He panics accordingly.

    Summary

    “I had assumed you two were engaged in sexual congress,” DuBois says, shrugging carelessly, as if he didn’t just drop a metaphorical bomb in the middle of a crowded break room.

    I sputter, choking on the beer. “Wha— what?!”

    Grace learns that everyone thinks Stratt and he are in a relationship. Cue aroace panic. A lot of aroace panic.

    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

    Jesus, my back.

    I pause, gasping for breath — I'm genuinely sweating. And embarrassed. I wonder if Rocky can hear me losing to a slab of wood.

    God, I hope he can't. Please God.

    It's stuck behind a few empty crates and some miscellaneous spare lab supplies. A few beakers. A blender, for some reason. An ironing board. Why? Because go to hell, Ryland Grace, that's why. You can't have enough fuel to come back but you can have an ironing board with no iron. Here's two kilos of cement-flavoured coma slurry. Kill yourself.

    "I'm being dramatic," I tell myself aloud.

    I'm really not. Dying in space is a very dramatic situation.

    OR: The ways that Rocky and Grace miss everything all the time, yet watch over each other, always.
