    Summary

    Slowly, Naim pulled back the sleeve of his shirt to reveal the burn scars he had amassed over these months. Ryan moved his hand closer and closer, telegraphing his actions carefully as he watched for any sudden movements on Naim's part.

    Ryan raised the lighter against Naim's skin, pressing the open flame against his forearm.

    Or: Connected scenes from the six months after they make it out, featuring fruit tea, heart-to-hearts, and figuring out where to go next.

    In which I take the 3 second cheek hold and push it to its (il)logical conclusion.

    Summary

    “Will arrive at Erid in three months. Rocky get smartest Eridians to make food for human grace and help alien wake up.” Rocky says with a little more hope and incline in his voice, causing the edge of my lips to curl upwards slightly.

    Rocky always does his best to say what he thinks I need to hear, and, for the most part, he isn't too far from the mark.

    “Yeah…Everything will be okay” I respond, and hope that it's true.

    -

    Grace and Rocky have made it through a bulk of their trip to Erid. In their travels, the two discover a man in the middle of dead space- tethered to nothing, with no oxygen tank and yet alive all the same.

    Simon has been in a coma on the Hail Mary for three months now, and Grace is trying to stay sane.

    Summary

    The Butcher does what he is supposed to do. He fulfills his role, and when he’s done Simon is allowed to make whatever meager meaning of his life he can.

    One day, when the Butcher is heading a raid, Simon discovers an angel.


    The hands that cradled your face and tilted it
    upwards to kiss your forehead
    are soaked in unfathomable quantities of blood

    but they cradled me, yes?

    Summary

    Simon focused on the view. So many stars. They were beautiful, and he was happy they'd be the last thing he'd see.
    "I'm ready." Simon whispered into the still air. The combing stopped, and Simon mourned the loss immediately.
    "You can kill me now."
    AKA: What if Simon misinterpreted why Grace was showing him the Greenhouse? Our bodies become the soil, after all.

    Summary

    "So he's really paralyzed?" Simon asks.

    "Oh? Uh, yeah." Grace turns back to Rocky's sleeping form and gestures broadly at him.

    Rocky is curled at the bottom of his tunnel, legs at his sides, body resting on the ground.

    Simon nods, looking uncomfortable. "So he won't interrupt."

    "Nah, he can't, he's– huh?" Grace fumbles for his glasses in earnest now. His heart rate picks up, but he's sort of hoping he's wildly misinterpreting what he just heard.

    "Sit back down." Simon growls as Grace goes to stand up.

    Slowly, Grace sits back down on the floor. He looks Simon over again and realizes, with a panicked flutter in his stomach that quickly spreads through his limbs like ice water, that Simon is holding a razor blade.

    ***

    Grace & Rocky decide to go check out an SOS call. It could have gone better. (Trust me, eventual codependent friendship all around.)
