    Summary

    “Oh, yeah.” He uncapped the marker with his teeth and tasted cheap plastic. Dragged a line through the seven hard enough the tip squeaked. “Seven days.”

    In four days, they would be picked up by Erid’s imaging system. In five, radar communication. In seven, Rocky would be home, Erid would be saved, and Ryland might finally get something other than Tauamoeba slurp.

    He should have been counting down too.

    Or: Grace and Rocky save stars, and above all, Rocky gets to go home. To Erid. To Adrian. Then why does Ryland feel so empty?

    Summary

    One thing that Rocky has learned about humans is that they like to look at pictures.

    Maybe. Or maybe it is just a particular habit of his Grace, who seems to pass more and more time sitting in the projection room and looking at his rolling images of Earth.

    Rocky likes Earth. Especially the beach. That’s Grace’s favorite place, too.

    But the pictures don’t change. Not more than they did the first time Grace showed him, with the waves crashing up onto the sand and the leaves of the trees rustling in the wind.

    ~~~

    Rocky's perspective of Grace's depression on the journey to Erid.

    Summary

    “How did you get home from the hospital?”

    “Took an uber.”

    “Does Maddie know?” Silence. “Does anyone?” More silence. More of Buck refusing to meet his gaze, staring at the door like he thought he could entice Eddie to leave by the power of suggestion. Well, good fucking luck, Eddie thought. Wild horses, and all that. “Why didn’t you call anyone?” he demanded. “Why didn’t you call me?”

    “I did!” Buck snarled. The momentum of his indignation carried him into a sitting position, and Eddie could see him flinch with the pain of it. His unnaturally stoic front was gone, and something raw and wrenching took its place; it occurred to Eddie that he’d never heard Buck raise his voice before. “I did call you, Eddie! As I was bleeding out on my kitchen floor. You. Didn’t. Answer.”

    ---

    The squatter in Buck's attic has a knife. Buck has a bit of a breakdown. Eddie has a plan to make everything right.

    Summary

    After an impossibly long three days, most choose the privacy of their tents over a group dinner. It doesn't escape Astarion what effect this seems to have on Gale. However, the effect Gale has on him escapes Astarion entirely.

    -

     

    or: Astarion dodges ten million mental hoops to admit he cares and then gets walloped by ten BILLION bats when someone else cares about him so very much.
